Hello playground.
I have not yet got the DMG for 5e but from what I understand you need to be a spell caster to make magic items and weapons. I myself have never liked that rule since it fortifies the position of caster vs muggles even more. Always liked the idea of a master smith working for a long time on his masterpiece(Bruenor crafting Wulfgars hammer is a good example of a non magic user crafting a clearly powerful magical weapon). Feat would enable a pc proficient with some form of crafting tool to also make magical items with that tool. Otherwise same rules for cost and how long it takes, could also be like and adventure to find the right obscure materials needed to craft the item.
What do you guys think of the general idea?
