Message: <blockquote data-quote="Delemental" data-source="post: 1952998" data-attributes="member: 5203">My wizard character is coming up on 9th level, and intends to take Fabricate as one of his two freebie spells.  The spell itself is appopriate for the character, as he comes from a backgound as a builder and manual laborer.This same character alse has a number of ranks in Craft (Alchemy), which I rarely get to use due to the time involved in making alchemical items (the character also has a few item creation feats, and so when he has the downtime to make stuff tends to go for magic items rather than alchemy).Here's what I'm looking for opinions on.  The spell states that it turns raw materials into finished goods, and that a Craft check is required for anything of high craftsmanship.  I think alchemical items would fall into that category.  What I'm interested in is knowing if you would allow this use of the spell, and if so what would be the practical limits you'd impose.  The spell itself says it works on up to 10 cubic feet of raw material per caster level, or 1 cubic foot/level if you're working with a mineral.  But even if I go with the smaller number, that's starting off with nine cubic feet of material; that's a lot of alchemist's fire, probably too much.For those who will ask, I haven't yet talked to my DM about this, simply because I'm only 8th level and it's not a current issue.  I'll still take the spell even if I can't use it with alchemy.  I just want to get a sense of what others think of the idea; if I get an overwhelming "no way" then I might let the idea slide; otherwise, it would be good to be able to present some options to my DM.  I just don't want those ranks in Craft (Alchemy) to go to waste, and I think that I and my other party members would make more frequent use of such things if they were easier to come by (the current attitude in my group is that alchemy is either too expensive to buy, or not worth the time needed to make).</blockquote>
