[sblock=All] Seems logical about the full plate and time. (it seems a a gap between the letter of the law and the intent) I am comfortable with whatever you want - its not a big deal.
Take the following only as a point of disscussion between peers who share a love of the game....
I respect your ruling Velmont as I always will in any game I play. However, philosophically either the rule is one way or the other.
Either we use the original rule or the rule variant. (which is the agreed upon standard in LEW) We are opening a can of worms to rule that the rule works sometimes one way and not at others based upon each DM's desires.
Either there is a time factor or there is not. Again, I totally see how you came you your logical conclusion and have no issue with it, per se, becasue its a game but the rule variant we use is an abstraction of he original rules and chosen for its simplicity and the ambiguity of pbp and the keeping of time.
Like I said, EITHER it is abstract (which is the agreed upon standard in LEW) and requires neither a regard for the passage of time nor logical tree regarding details.
According to our rule in LEW through that same abstraction the items will be ready when the craft points and cash are spent. There are no stipulations about the keeping of time and the details of geting the materials, from whom, the availiablity of facilities, time of association with the customer, and speculation as to how long the item take to make.
It can not be parts of both as they seem logical to each individual DM. I belive it is an abstract system in LEW for the purpose of providing an equitable and fair standard for all players in all games so that when anyone makes an item the standard is universally applied.
Ok, off soapbox...
