[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 5817338, member: 29252"] Well... if you want to do mass manufacturing, you don't do it as a spell, you do it as a [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/traps.htm#timed]Timed[/url] [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/traps.htm#automatic]automatic reset[/url] [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/traps.htm#magicDeviceTrapCost]magic device trap[/url] of the spell you want. That said: Given the [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/craft.htm]Craft Rules[/url] as they stand in D&D, someone who can reliably spit out a 1,650 gp set of masterwork full plate once a day (a generalist Wizard-9 with an Int score of 21 - that's base int 15, +1 int at 4th and 8th, and a +4 Int item - quite feasible at 9th, using the elite array - who bothered to take ranks in Craft(Armor)) for less than the cost of a traditional craftsman's materials (Wall of Iron mitigates a lot of it) would seem like mass manufacturing to the Dwarven Int-21 Expert-9 with Skill Focus(Craft(Armor)), max ranks in Craft(Armor), masterwork tools, and two assistants giving Aid Another (check modifier: +28) who takes ten in his crafting (result 38), accelerates twice (for DC 38) on most of the armor, and once on the 'masterwork' portion (DC 30), and takes 10 weeks, 4 days to make one suite of masterwork full plate. The Wizard will have outfitted a small army in that time (74 suits of full plate, assuming for some odd reason that he needs to recast Wall of Iron each day). [/QUOTE]
