Your wife. Is one. Of your players. Too cool, man! You must be the luckiest man on the planet!

That's why I married her , but seriously she loves the game, she gets more into character than most of the guys I've played with for 10+years.

The guys were hesitant at first because one of the others tried to bring his GF and it was a fiasco (she insisted on buying an axegun instead of a bow...WTF?), but it's worked out well.

I ran a solo game with her controlling 2 PC's (A bard/fighter and a wizard) and I played an NPC cleric. We played through the Shackled City Adventure Path from Paizo together... it was a blast.

Hey, does your wive have any female rleltives or friends that are unmarried that are gamers like her? Preferably here in missouri?

I like the idea. but first we may need to find a good hidy hole to set up a lab or something, right? or does 3.x ed do magic creation a bit looser then 2.x ed?

I don't know how 2.x worked, but in 3.5, you just need the appropriate Item Creation Feat and whatever spells are listed as necessary in the description of the item. Well, that, plus a good workspace and plenty of money.

Unfortunately not, one in South Carolina, but I'm thinking it's too far away.

money i understand, Xp i have read up on...what is required for workspace? in 2.x you needed a laboratory and libary of a minimum size each and both very very costly.

The creator also needs a fairly quiet, comfortable, and well-lit place in which to work. Any place suitable for preparing spells is suitable for making items.

This is all is says as far as I know. Can anyone find something different?

Item Creation Feats

The description of each item creation feat also says what you need in the way of "raw materials," which are expressed as a cost in gold pieces. For example, for Craft Wand, you need to spend one-twenty-fifth of the wand's gold piece value in XP, and "use up raw materials costing one-half of the base price." Wands that store a spell requiring an expensive material component have an additional cost for this, also. You have to use up one spell's worth of the component for each charge that the wand contains (50).

Aside from this raw materials cost, I see no other requirements in PH. BUT, the DMG (p. 282-283) says: "The creator also needs a fairy quiet, comfortable, and well-lit place in which to work. Any place suitable for preparing spells is suitable for making magic items." During an item's creation, the creator may only work for 8 hours per day, but the days of an items creation need not all be consecutive. So you can work on an item for awhile, take a break to explore a dungeon, then come back and pick up where you left off with the item. And you can only create one item at a time. If you are creating an item, and before you are finished you begin to work on a dfferent item, then all of the costs (both gp and xp) spent on the frst item are wasted.

So, yeah, Kerlan, you have it right.

sounds simple enough
