Pliers

Pliers are a crafting tool used in Armorsmithing.

See Crafting Tools for details.

Usage

• In armorsmithing, pliers are used to pull together the parts of metal armors.
• In tinkering, pliers are are used during crossbow crafting.

Creation and Repair

Pliers can be created using forging techniques that fall under the Blacksmithing discipline.

Likewise, their repair falls under the same skills, with standard processes for metal tool repair.

Templates

Pliers use physical resistance to derive their effectiveness.
