Message: <blockquote data-quote="dmnqwk" data-source="post: 6786927" data-attributes="member: 6804204">Going with the cost listed in the DMG I'd consider using the following rules for Magical Item Creation:Potion Creation (including Poisons): Common - 4 hours, Herbalism DC 5, 1st level or higherUncommon - 8 hours, Herbalism DC 10, 1st level or higherRare - 3 days, Herbalism DC 15, 5th level or higherVery Rare - 7 days, Herbalism DC 20, 11th level or higherLegendary - 31 days, Herbalism DC 25, 17th level or higherScrolls can be created at a cost of 1 day per spell level and automatically succeed if the player can cast the spell.Permanent ItemsCommon, 1 week, DC 5, 1st level or higherUncommon, 3 weeks, DC 10, 1st level or higherRare, 7 weeks, DC 15, 5th level or higherVery Rare, 25 weeks, DC 20, 11th level or higherLegendary, 101 weeks, DC 25, 17th level or higher.Potions and Permanent Items follow the same pattern - every increment (day or week) the player must make a check. At the end of the period, 50% or more successful checks are required to create the item (eg a Rare Permanent Items requires 7 weeks and 7 checks, 4 or more meaning the player creates the item).If a PC chooses to abandon a project, or fails 50% or more of the checks, the PC loses 50% of the total cost and all the time spent.As for checks required for Creating Items I would leave that up to you as to what is appropriate. Perhaps when creating a Scroll of Protection you could use Calligraphy, whereas Arcana or Woodcarving might be appropriate when creating Magical Wands.If in doubt, allow a Player to justify how they are creating the item and to which skill/proficiency they are going to use. It's fair to assume an Armoursmith could create a Magical Suit of Armour, but at the same token someone trained in Arcana could know the best armour to purchase to then enchant.</blockquote>
