[QUOTE="Peter Gibbons, post: 2747821, member: 35541"] That is where you are mistaken. Re-read the DMG rules on crafting items: Creating Magic Armor (DMG p.285): "If spells are involved in the prerequisites for making the armor, the creator must have prepared the spells to be cast (or must know the spells, in the case of a sorcerer or bard)..." Creating Magic Weapons (DMG p.286): "If spells are involved in the prerequisites for making the weapon, the creator must have prepared the spells to be cast (or must know the spells, in the case of a sorcerer or bard)..." Creating Rods (DMG p.286): "If spells are involved in the prerequisites for making the rod, the creator must have prepared the spells to be cast (or must know the spells, in the case of a sorcerer or bard)..." Creating Staffs (DMG p.287): "The creator must have prepared the spells to be stored (or must know the spell, in the case of a sorcerer or bard)..." Creating Wondrous Items (DMG p.288): "If spells are involved in the prerequisites for making the item, the creator must have prepared the spells to be cast (or must know the spells, in the case of a sorcerer or bard)..." The mistake you are making is that you're focusing only on a particular section of the rules, rather than [I]all[/I] of the item creation rules. The authors assume you have read the item creation rules, and know that prerequisites can be provided by individuals other than the creator; therefore, they don't bother to repeat that information every time they mention that "the creator" must meet certain prerequisites. The creation of [I]any[/I] magic item can be a cooperative effort. The "way you see it" is myopic. :) [/QUOTE]
