| Going on what was said before about blacksmith. If a blacksmiths job is to use hammers all day for smashing around metal things. It seems to me that a blacksmith should be able to hit harder and stund more effeciently than a normal warrior like me. or any guild it is joined with. the inv thing is a good idea too. again thats only if they are wielding a blunt weapon. |

| Having done blacksmithing and swordfighting... There really isn't much connection. Smithing is all about focus and engineering, and involves setting up static shots that push metal around in just the right way - not too hard, not to soft. Swordfighting is about defocussing - general perception - and out-thinking another person - psychology vs. engineering.
And they're completely different muscle groups too.
Now, what would make sense to me would be for blacksmiths only to be able to repair ordinary equipment, and in order to repair magical equipment, you'd have to be a blacksmith _and_ a master enchanter. |

| What could make sense is temporary "enchant-like" stuff like balancing or sharpening of a weapon etc. Daneel's idea is just mean =) What non-magical gear is there? Unless some wizard really wants to fiddle with it, i doubt blacksmith will get many changes eitehr way. Other things out there that at least i feel are more important. |
