[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1550595, member: 63"] Good rule of thumb. And Force is intangible normally. By itself, creating force is kinda pointless, but of all the elements, it has the potential to be the most indestructible. When I type, I make heavy use of the Ctrl button plus the arrow keys, so I can shift through sentences or paragraphs quickly. I also use home and end a lot so I can jump around without having to use the mouse. On Macs, the location of the buttons that accomplish the same functions are different, so I'm not as readily able to fiddle around. And the Mac I was using was a laptop, with one of those fingerpad mouses, which I'm not used to. Finally, I miss my right-click button. I don't like Macs for typing. They are, however, great for art programs. As to the concern about item value, I don't see how it could be broken. Since you can't permanently create objects anyway, this is mostly just a restriction to keep low-level folks from creating a huge gold statue, slapping it with Illusion Death to make it detect as nonmagical, and selling it. And it means that you've got to spend a bit of extra MP to have that suit of magic adamantine armor. There really aren't that many mundane objects that cost more than 10,000gp, except for boats and castles. If you show me how it's broken, or overpowered, I will consider changing my stance. [/QUOTE]
