Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alessandro Guarita" data-source="post: 6383260" data-attributes="member: 6777196">I saw a lot of topics about "overpower" spells. All of them are, basically, combat spells.But here is a potentially powerful and game-change spell: Fabricate. It is a 4th level wizard spell. With it, the wizard (or bard, after all, on 10th level a bard can pick the spell that he wants) can create an object from a material that he has on the casting moment. If the material is stone/metal, the object can be only medium size. Complex objects need proficiency on a tool (like armors, weapons...).First implication, player's side:1. When wizard reaches 7th level, he has infinite money. We need money? Ok, what about a 5ft cube of gold? FOR EVERY CAST2. Adamantine weapons? Mithril armor? Dragonleather armor? Not a problem at all, if the wizard have proficiency in smith tools. All what he need is a small amount of the original material.3. Diamants from ressurection? Pff, all we need is a small one, I'll fabricate two diamond from each one of us.So, this isn't a big problem... what the players will do if all the money, after all, since we can't buy magic items for default? The problem begins if the DM allows this.Second implication, DM's side:Now the things begins to be interesting.1. A wizard's tower (or lich, of course) with all doors and chest being made of adamantine. Well, again, wizards are the richest people of the world.2. Ok, you made 20 5ft. cube of diamond. Now... can you explain to me how do you'll sell it?3. How rare is a material if a 7th level wizard can duplicate it infinitely?4. A 7th level higher wizard will never ask from money from it's service, but, instead, we'll ask for missions or very rare materials.5. A king that has a small number of 7th level wizard working from him (not for money... but, for what? favor? loyalty?). Can you imagine an army with adamantine full plates? Well, this can be a reality easily. How the economics will work in this way?</blockquote>
