[QUOTE="Zog, post: 241090, member: 5083"] [b]For the PCs...[/b] definately only use once or twice, as a major plot hook. Give the PC a chance to notice the bad ingrediants - spellcraft check at some DC. Or - perhaps the PC is making an item, and is frequently interuppted - even has to put the item down and go adventure for a day or two, then come back and finish it. ONly, someone else has been there and tampered... Or not even tampered, but the breaks and interuptions - warn the PC ahead of time, frequent stops can cause problems - give them a spellcraft roll to recover - if they blow the roll (ie, fail by more than 5) the item has a 'minor flaw'. If they really mess up, serious curse time. But always let the player know in advance that something could be wrong or go wrong, and give them a roll to avoid it. That way, its the luck of the dice, and not the DM being a rat-fink-ahem. :D [/QUOTE]
