Abilities

Blacksmithing Specialist — For encounters involving blacksmithing, the dwarf smith is a 5th-level challenge.
Temper Armament (downtime) — The smith spends 1 day tempering a single suit of metallic armor, metallic shield, or metallic weapon. Tempering armor or a shield increases its Hardness by 1. Tempering a weapon grants the weapon a +1 circumstance bonus to damage rolls. Regardless of the item, the tempering remains for 3 days, after which item is temporarily immune to further tempering for 1 week as the technique would otherwise damage it.
Crack the Shell — The dwarf smith makes a Strike to break a creature's defenses. If the Strike hits and the creature is wearing armor with Hardness 9 or lower, the armor is Broken. This Strike doesn't further damage armor that's already broken.
