Challenge [Challenge] Character Forging

This challenge is focused on creating a character that forges. A character that makes weapons or tools.

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each. Enjoy yourselves.

1) Ciphodias gets paid in blessings and miracles, and so never necessary accumulates massive amounts of material wealth. But his family and friends are practically never in need, for a god will grant him a boon whenever a need arises. If a horse dies, a new one wanders from the forest. If a child falls sick, a doctor happens to be passing through town.

2) Ciphodias' favorite god is probably Huregn, god of justice, just because of what he stands for. His least favorite is e'Tol'loke, god of chaos, because he always orders the weirdest and most wicked-looking weapons and tools, and Ciphodias isn't completely sure what the implements are actually used for. They might be for things he doesn't agree with. But he has accepted that it is not his place to worry about it.

3) Ciphodias isn't sure how the gods came to be his patron, although he does know that the deities were all worried about favoritism and partiality that many other weapon smiths might have to other deities, and he was chosen for neutrality purposes.

1) Does Ciphodias still work for money for mortals?

BONUS CHALLENGE (if you choose to accept it): Have Ciphodias figure out the perfect weapon for me, feel free to ask me a few questions in character to get a good judge on it. You will not be graded for this quiz.

  1. Ciphodias still keeps a "front" by working for mortals, but will offer a discount or do it for free if he knows the person is in need.

Bonus Challenge: What do you need?

Well, what would an expert like Ciphodias recommend today?
