Crafting in tabletop gaming has often been seen as tedious, with players frustrated by resource gathering and complex systems. The 2024 Players Handbook for Dungeons & Dragons 5E introduces streamlined crafting rules that enhance gameplay and creativity. New origin feats allow players to create useful items overnight, and tool proficiencies now include guidelines for various actions, providing clarity and consistency. Proficiency in sleight of hand grants an advantage on thieves' tools checks for lockpicking. The new rules encourage players to embark on quests for rare materials instead of simply purchasing items, adding excitement to the crafting experience.
