[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 290311, member: 1264"] Standard Craft rules... The amount of progress per week is equal to your Craft check times the DC in silver pieces. DC to craft Dragon Bile is 30. I assumed you have a Craft:Poison (or Alchemy) skill of 20. Taking 10, that's a check result of 30. 30 x 30 = 900 sp or 90 gp/week. 1500/90 = 16.7 weeks, or 3.8 months. Yes, this is ridiculously slow (my DM lets me get away with silverpieces [i]per day[/i]), but that's the standard rules. Regardless of what house rules you use for this, I think allowing you to craft something like Dragon Bile poison in less than a day (even less than a week) would be highly unbalancing! Also keep in mind that you have a 5% chance of poisoning yourself when you apply the poison to a weapon, and when you fumble on an attack roll you must make a Reflex roll to avoid poisoning yourself as well. BTW, Dragon Bile isn't *that* great against a dragon. It does 3d6 Str, but a dragon has Strength to spare. And one dose is only good for one attack.
