Weaver's specific actions

Careful Synthesis

The first specific weaver's action (and one of the most useful cross-class actions for all other DoH classes) is acquired at 15th level. This is a Careful Synthesis - action, like a Basic Synthesis, but it has 100% success rate at the cost of 10% lesser efficiency. At first look may seems that overall efficiency of both actions is the same, because of 90% of successful attempts is equal to 90% efficiency, but it is not quite right. Statistical methods are not applicable to such small amount of attempts, like a number of steps of synthesis required for crafting of most items. Even items with highest difficulty not requires so many steps to make statistics working well. By practical experience, "90% success rate" means that at one wonderful (and most critical) moment three of four attempts may easily fail. That's why Careful Synthesis is indispensable. Of course you may use Steady Hand with common Basic Synthesis, but this combination is not effective, when it not allows to save crafting steps.
