[QUOTE="Altman, post: 338263, member: 7093"] Ok...so i've been playing with the Craft skill, because it seems to take a VERY long time to make weapons or armor. I've taken some ideas and complaints I've seen around and put my own spin on them. Please let me know if it makes any sense or even *gasp* works in a reasonable manner. The basic formula they give in the PHB would remain the same, but what if we took the cost in GP instead of SP, and then used the difference between the check & the DC as the multiplier.... So to craft a long sword it would be as follows: (examples use Weaponsmith skill of my Dwarf) Long sword Costs 15GP... DC to craft it is 15 with my skill level (+11) I've got to roll over a 4 or over: So week 1 I roll an 8 (yes I'm actually rolling...sad isn't it) With Mod that's a 19 The amount finished is 19*(19-15)= 76 I only needed to get a 15...so in a week I could make 5 long swords For the suit of chain we've been talking about it would be: Cost for Suit: 150 GP DC to Craft 14 Roll: 14 +11 =25 25 (25-14)=275 So a standard suit of chain would be just under a week to make... add on the MW Cost: 150 DC: 20 Roll: 12 +11 =23 23 (23-20)= 69 Week 2 Roll: 11+11=22 22 (22-20)= 44 Week 3 Roll: 15+11=26 26 (26-20)=156 So week 3 of MW would finish that bit...total would be 4 weeks of work... *ponders* ...i think this works...*looks around worriedly*....did i just have a good idea? anyway let me know if this was really a good idea or if I'm just tired....
