Fabricate spell

Also I happen to let multiple materials be put together with this spell. I think the wording is fairly imprecise and vague, and I'd rather say sure to this, than having to make decisions left and right on what objects are made of only one material and what objects are made up of multiple materials.

If you could make a bridge with Wall of Stone, I think you should be able to do it with Fabricate as one solid material, assuming you have enough material. As far as multile materials, I don't think this spell allows for that. From the SRD:

The character converts material of one sort into a product that is of the same material

Once again, I don't think that it is too much to alter the spell description, but I would think of it as more of a house rule, not an interpretation of the actual spell.

It may be a house rule, but I still found the way the word one was used to be fairly vague. In the context of the entire spell, on one end mentioning single material objects, while at the end the mention jewlery and weapons which are almost universally multiple material objects. I personally interpret the one to mean the material you transform can't be changed into a different material based object. Fow example if making arrows and all you have is wood, you won't have steel arrowheads, you'll need some iron with the wood.

Hey Shard O'Glase

If you call it a house rule, then I like it. I just didn't think the spell is worded that way.

You could open your own shop and make masterwork items all day. Have you found it be worth a lot of money? I wonder if an NPC in my anti-magic world could get away with this. But I never considered making fabricate cool like that.

Actually I took it to mean the same thing. You can't change material of one type into another. They didn't say that it all had to be one material. It's a great spell to quickly make things if you have the craft or alchemy skill.

Grab a bar of steel, and leather straps to make sword with grips.
