Bowyer/Fletcher

The material on the Bowyer/Fletcher proficiency from the Player’s Handbook, page 58, is all correct for use with this supplement.

A set of bowyer/fletcher's tools, which can be used at maximum efficiency by one character, costs 10 gp. (It's 15 gp for a set which can be used simultaneously by three workers, and +7.5 gp per +3 workers which can work simultaneously.) The bowyer/fletcher is not required to set up a workshop; he can work by himself in the field, if he chooses. If he chooses to set up a permanent shop, tents and huts cost the same as what's listed for the leatherworker's shop (above, under "Armorer").

Note that the construction times listed in the Player's Handbook presume that he's working a full week. If he's traveling or adventuring and working on bows and arrows in his spare time, multiply all crafting times by four. Thus, a long or short bow takes four weeks.

Cost of materials for arrows and normal bows is negligible. If the character is trying to make a weapon of truly fine quality, he must either pay 50% of the weapon's normal retail value for exceptionally fine woods, or add an extra 100% to the time it takes to craft the weapon; the extra time constitutes him having to look for the perfect wood and materials in the wild.
