On the other hand, crafting magic items requires the full cost (so spellcasters arguably don't typically craft items to make a profit, but rather to achieve a purpose like outfitting a dragon slayer so he can kill a wyrm that's been troubling the caster).Personally, I plan to use an idea I saw somewhere on these boards. Basically, mundane crafting progresses at a rate of 5 * your proficiency bonus. If you don't have a proficiency bonus, it's just 5. I like it because it means that by 20th level you can create 30 gp worth of goods per day, or 60 if you have expertise. I haven't decided whether to do something similar for magic item creation.Admittedly, downtime in my games tends to be limited. Usually days, sometimes weeks, rarely months, and never years. This could imbalance a game with lots of downtime.</blockquote>
