Lumberjacking

Lumberjacking is a resource gathering system using Lumberjack's Tools (an Artisan's Tools that a player can become proficient in). If a player is not proficient in using Lumberjack's Tools, they roll disadvantage on the chart and they do not get to use their modifiers. The materials gathered can be used in crafting recipes.

Lumberjack's Tool
This is an Artisan Tool that a player can purchase for 10GP (10lbs) at almost any market or can be crafted using the appropriate materials. If a player does not have proficiency with the tool, they can still use them but their rolls are at disadvantage.

The tool can be used up to once a day. Each use take 8 hours to complete. It can be used when inside a forest or jungle only. The location where a player chooses to use the tools does not not affect the outcome of what is found unless noted by the DM.

Locating & Extracting Resources
When a player chooses to lumberjack and they are in the appropriate environment, they can roll on the Lumberjack Chart below to see what they find and how much of it. Unlike in Mining, there is not a follow-up extraction roll. However, when a tree is cut down, a player applies their Strength modifier to the lumber rolls with a minimum of one as a result. If a player does not have proficiency with the tools, they then half the number, rounding up to the nearest whole number with a minimum of 1.

Material Tiers
Common lumber can be used to craft various standard items. However, if a rarer lumber is used, it can produce a higher quality item.
