Gem Cutting

Gem Cutting(Rogue, 1)
Ability: Dexterity
Modifier: ‐1
A character with this proficiency can finish the rough gems that are discovered through mining at a rate of 1d10 stones per day. A gem cutter derives no benefit from the assistance of non‐proficient characters. A gem cutter must work with a good light source and must have an assortment of chisels, small hammers, and specially hardened blades. Uncut gems, while still of value, are not nearly as valuable as the finished product. If the cutting is successful, the gem cutter increases the value of a given opiate for its type. If a 1 is rolled, the work is exceptionally brilliant and the value of the gem falls into the range for the next most valuable gem. Gnomes with this skill may cut 2d8 gems per day instead of the usual 1d10. They may also increase the value of a gem by rolling a 1 or a 2 on the d20 proficiency check instead of just rolling a 1.
