- Field Repair (General)
You can repair your broken weapon or armor to serviceability even without the benefits of artisan tools.
Prerequisite: Profession 4 ranks.
Benefit: If you are trained in a Profession skill appropriate to a broken item, you can repair that item with no raw material cost and no penalty on your Profession skill check for using improvised tools. If you spend a day, the item regains 1 hit point plus one-quarter of its original hit points. Alternatively, if the item gained the broken condition because it is a siege weapon that suffered a mishap, or has the broken condition because it has the fragile weapon quality (or some similar quality), you can make a Profession check with the DC it takes to craft that item (see Table - Profession Skills, below). If the check succeeds, the item loses the broken condition.
Normal: Improvised tools impose a –2 penalty on Profession checks. Items require raw materials to repair.
