With The Grain
The Guild of Woodcrafters is a guild that specializes in the crafting of wooden weapons and tools. They have a variety of woods at their disposal, each with its own unique properties. The Iron Woods, for example, are perfect for creating durable weapons that leave a lasting impression. The Exotic Woods are great for enchanting weapons with magical properties. Enchanted Wood is wood that has been enchanted by a wizard and thus has its limitations. Ordained Wood is wood that has been consecrated by a cleric and can be used to channel healing magic. The Paladin is a class that straddles the line between warrior and cleric and as such, can use both Ordained Wood and Enchanted Wood.
Practical Use
