# Description
Mason's Tools allow you to craft stone structures, including walls and buildings crafted from brick.
**_Components._** Mason's Tools consist of a trowel, a hammer, a chisel, brushes, and a square.
**_History._** Your expertise aids you in identifying a stone building's date of construction and purpose, along with insight into who might have built it.
**_Investigation._** You gain additional insight when inspecting areas within stone structures.
**_Perception._** You can spot irregularities in stone walls or floors, making it easier to find trap doors and secret passages.
**_Demolition._** Your knowledge of masonry allows you to spot weak points in brick walls. You deal double damage to such structures with your weapon attacks.
