[QUOTE="Corinth, post: 3922487, member: 497"] Groups can get all the time they need. All they have to do is turn to the GM and say "We're doing this now.", and that time is now available. As money has to be in hand to make items, that is a non-issue. Components will not be an issue unless the GM attempts to be a jerk, or he attempts to make it fun, by requiring that PCs acquire them through active gameplay; since most components for items can be had by purchase, legitimate restriction of components cuts down to just those elements that are both very rare and very dangerous to procure, such as a scale from an ancient dragon. (Why? Because the same economics that allow blacksmiths to not mine and smelt their own ore, or barrel makers to not cut trees and process lumber, will invariably arise in magical societies also; historically, and at present, the real world occultists did/do procure many of their components from middleman who in turn got them from suppliers that gathering or produced them- to shut this down for PCs isn't fair, just or belieable.)
