[QUOTE="VanRichten, post: 4170368, member: 63745"] Based on the OPs question I can see where he is curious as to how much the Bard can build with the lyre not whether it is against the rules. With that in mind if said Bard were to play the lyre in question for 24 hours continuously then he would effectively produce enough work done by 4800 humans laboring for 3 days. Generally speaking there is no hard fast ruling on how much you could effectively build with such ability. Though if you were to make one. Consider how much it costs to hire a laborer multiply that by 4800 then take that answer and multiply it by 3. This number is how much work has been completed with only 24 hours of playing the lyre. If a house ran 5,000gp and a laborer costs 1cp per day. Then that means with 24 hours of playing the lyre you would do 144gp worth of building per 24 hour period. Which means that it would take the bard about 35 days at 24 hours per day to build said house. I don't know about you but one man building an entire house in a little over a month is quite impressive considering he is only playing music. [/QUOTE]
