[QUOTE="Ghostmoon, post: 1469489, member: 816"] Hello all, I was wondering if there was any guidance on just how much the build function of the Lyre can do. From the SRD: [B]Lyre of Building:[/B] The lyre is also useful with respect to building. Once a week its strings can be strummed so as to produce chords that magically construct buildings, mines, tunnels, ditches, or whatever. The effect produced in but 30 minutes of playing is equal to the work of 100 humans laboring for three days. Each hour after the first, a character playing the lyre must make a DC 18 Perform (string instruments) check. If it fails, she must stop and cannot play the lyre again for this purpose until a week has passed. Anyone out there have any rules of thumb or guidance on just how much work can done with "100 humans laboring for three days"? I notice that the text for the Lyre has essentially remained unchanged since AD&D 1st edition, although I have never seen anything that described construction in "men working per day". Any help would be appreciated! Ghostmoon [/QUOTE]
