[QUOTE="Christian, post: 124995, member: 381"] Making your own items costs you in two ways, don't forget. Aside from the experience points, there's also the feats you have to use on item creation feats instead of feats you could use during an adventure. Still, especially for Wizards, it's a very effective system. If you're making the items for yourself, that is. In an actual long-term campaign, working your way from first to twentieth, a Wizard who spends her downtime cranking out scrolls, potions, wands, and wondrous items to tuck into her own pack, will be constantly deluged with whines from her fellow party members. "Why won't you make some stuff for [i]meeeee[/i]." And of course, she'll end up giving in, tossing off some [i]Boots of Striding and Springing[/i] for the Monk, a [i]+2 sword[/i] for the Fighter, a [i]Cloak of Elvenkind[/i] for the Ranger, a [i]Ring of Invisibility[/i] for the Rogue. And she'll be twelfth level while the rest of them are fourteenth, destroying the opposition with all the goodies the [i]she[/i] spent her [i]life essence[/i] to make for them, and what thanks does she get? Umm ... Never mind, I got kinda lost there. :) [/QUOTE]
