Craft (Stupid)

[AtlanteanTroll]

What sort of stupid thing have you put in Craft? I've had Craft (Sandwhich) and a friend has Craft (Stick).

Or is this a local group thing?

[Pika...]

Craft cooking for some of my Kobold PCs.

"For the last time, NO, I do not know what happened to our dead party member's body. Someone must have stolen i during the night. *Burp*....excuse me."

[Elvenoutrider]

Craft: taxadermy

i made a puppet out of an elder evil

[RandomLunatic]

Craft (Monster Corpses)

Failed the DM test, sadly.

[Sipex]

Craft (Love)

It was only one rank but the character in question was a cultist of sorts

[Accersitus]

I once had Craft (Calligraphy). This was in Vampire Dark Ages (was playing a monk, RL kind, not D&D kind)), not D&D but the point still stands.

The fun part was that I actually got to use it once to the surprise of everyone.
We got orders from our sire on a note, and were suspicious of them, and I was
allowed to use Craft (Calligraphy) to determine that our sire had been forced to write the note.

For a minute, I read Craft (Carotgraphy). I was thinking why was that stupid. Woops.

I see what you did there.

[Pisha]

We created an entire tribe of gnome barbarians who took Craft (Cooking) to an art form once :)

Although I think my favorite random skills were Profession (Lawyer) and Knowledge (Contract Law). (Best investment my Chaotic character ever made. Drives Lawful types crazy when you can quote their rules better than they can.)

[Volos]

I took Craft (RPG) once. It cause a recursive loop of a game within a game within a game within a game... I think you get the point.

[Keld Denar]

What about other skills? Perform(Math) anyone?

[Christopher K.]

Craft (Scrapbook). Enough said.

[TroubleBrewing]

There was a whole thread about a character built around optimizing "Craft: Basketweaving" on the wizards boards once, but I cannot seem to find it.

[Keld Denar]

Basket Weaver's Handbook

[Ragitsu]

Craft (Macaroni and Cheese).

[Mecharious]

Craft (Macaroni and Cheese)

Edit: You've gotta be kidding me.

Craft (Coin Minting)
You pay 1/3 of your Craft result in materials, instantly tripling your money.

That was just...awful, it was...it was...horriterrible...that was so bad that I had to make up a new word just to describe how unspeakably bad it was.

[monomer]

I've had Craft (Sandwhich).

Obligatory Penny Arcade Link

I aim to please

Well, actually I don't, it's just a natural side effect of being me

[Savannah]

I (and a couple of my DMs once I suggested it) tend to give out free skill points for Craft and Profession which has lead to a few interesting ones. At one point I was playing a character with Craft (flower arrangements) because I couldn't think of anything useful that would fit her character. Strangely, it was more useful than some of the more obviously useful ones on other characters. Turns out a nice bouquet is worth a +2 circumstance bonus to Diplomacy at times

[NichG]

I am currently playing a character with over 200 skill ranks across various craft skills:

Craft(Gunsmithing), Craft(Weapons), Craft(Smithing), Craft(Armor), Craft(Alchemy), Craft(Lifeform), Craft(Stoneworking), Craft(Machinery), Craft(Architecture), Craft(Soul), Craft(Clothing), Craft(Clockworks), and Craft(Soulgem), Profession(Weaver).

He also had Craft(Jewelry) and Craft(Woodworking) at some point.

Of course one of his big schticks is an ability that lets him speak things into existence (even very complex things) as a standard action for 5% of their gp cost in xp so long as he can make the craft check, so they're not quite as silly as they might otherwise be. I'm just itching for the opportunity to speak a bar and all of its patrons into existence just to confuse pursuers, but it hasn't come up yet.

I tried to get Craft(Laws of Physics) but the DM wouldn't let me :)

[DragonOfUndeath]

Craft (Fireworks) and Perform (Fireworks)
Not as silly when you realize this is the guy who can manipulate any type of fire including fireworks. Next session I am actually going to kill a bunch of Knights (Evil Campaign) during the performance and get paid to do it by bystanders

[CycloneJoker]

Craft(insanity). Didn't get through, but still.

Also, Craft(Propaganda). Works wonders, especially when you can play something like the Charlatan.

[Dresil]

A centaur that has max ranks in Profession (Confectioneer).

[Fishy]

Speak Language: Math
Speak Language: Pretentious Research Paper

[Saint GoH]

Craft:(campfire)

IT CAME IN HANDY SO GET OFF MY BACK.

[Derjuin]

I remember reading about someone managing to get Profession (Rocket Scientist) in, and I managed to sneak in Craft (Doomsday Device) in a one-shot adventure once, though I didn't get to use it...

[DragonOfUndeath]

I'm thinking of getting Craft(God-Trap) and Craft(God-Weapon) in my next campaign. Divine Wrath in a can

[Volos]

I got Craft (Terrible Music) along with Perform (I'm On a Boat) for an aquatic campaign. The DM never checked what I wrote in, so I started performing and he kinda got confused.
