Message: <blockquote data-quote="Loonook" data-source="post: 5886771" data-attributes="member: 1861">Using Plant Growth on food crops is economically untenable.  See my previous notes?  In a perfect situation of India with their super-crops, automobiles and extremely reduced caloric intake you're looking at a cost/person of 2 GP (an unskilled month's salary per year) to get a Druid to bless their crops.  If the settlement uses grain for their animals of the same effect... Trust me, a horse can eat, and you might as well go 2 horse/man share... And that's being silly for the numbers.So a farm family with 2 plow animals, 4 children, 2 adults is going to be paying 10 GP for this spell just to be able to thrive in the economy (I'll assume Children to eat half).  That is almost a half year's wages to support growth.Plant Growth at cost from the local Sage is great for indigo, cardamon, low-yield high-price crops.  It is a money-loss situation for most... Also, flesh created through Stone to Flesh is edible... The Vital statement is there just to prevent you from forging Flesh Golems from statues.  The spell has been used for years for this purpose... I don't understand the hate.Also... These people are going around and actively assassinating Druids... That is just silly and seems like an out.  If there's no magic available I'm finding a Cockatrice or offering a Medusa all the wealth we find in the homes we offer our unique services to... And running through Rome saving people from famine (with a definitely possibility that at some point they will be turned back to flesh.  Definitely.)Slainte,-Loonook.</blockquote>
