My aforementioned minimum CR trap apparently takes two weeks for someone with a +10 modifier to build, which is clearly insane.I'd suggest working out some rules which allow you to only craft the difference between what you spend and what you are producing. If, for instance, you had bought light crossbows to produce the trap I gave earlier, then you might spend as much as 70gp (two light crossbows) to make the trap. clearly then you only need to do 30gp of work to finish the trap. That means that you've halved the time to produce the thing. I WOULD allow this to apply all the way down to the level where the craft check is completing 0gp of work. Failure by enough would still break the stuff, but by that stage, you're really just assembling a kit. The only thing the craft check is doing is to stop you having to find someone who already sells the exact item you need.</blockquote>
