This means that in order to use the cook’s utensils a player must have access to a stable heat source that is strong enough cook the dish they are trying to make. Most cooking in the early days was done over open flame, however over the course of time new heating methods such as charcoal, propane, convection heating, and even sous vide were discovered.įor the sake of simplicity I recommend you stick to medieval cooking methods in your campaign. This allowed for the preparation of a steady stream of ingredients while the more skilled kitchen staff tended the fire to ensure everything was cooked to perfection. Nobility on the other hand often would often employ staff members who much like modern era kitchen staff executed specific tasks around the kitchen. This was enough to cook the grains, vegetables, and occasional meat/bone soup that a peasant’s diet usually consisted of. A peasants kitchen often only consisted of a small fire in the middle of a home with a spit, kettle, pots, and pans. Medieval kitchens varied widely between the rich and the poor. Whether you are Baking, Broiling, or Boiling your meal the core competence of the craft of cooking is your ability to control heat. The true origins of cooking are hotly debated, but something that is generally agreed upon is that the creation of a well cooked meal requires the chef to… well… cook it. However, as always before we dig into the mechanical goodness of creating chocolaty goodness, we need to go over the basics of cooking in both historical and modern times. Now that we’ve made ourselves a decadent wine pairing, it is time to fire up the hearth and make the main course. This means the cook’s utensils are on our plate(pun absolutely intended) so let’s step up our food game. ** This bonus is added on top of any existing investigation proficiency or expertise a character has.

If nothing else I hope this document and its siblings can be used as a source of guidance and inspiration for whatever crafting system you decide to go with. Furthermore, the rules and concepts discussed are intended to work in-tandem with the expanded artisan's tools rules found in Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
However, the system as a whole is totally functional and ready to be used in any campaign. The finer details of this system are still being revised, and those changes will slowly be introduced into this document. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Although this crafting system leverages many existing mechanics published under the 5e SRD and OGL, the final product is completely home-brewed.
