Message: <blockquote data-quote="altquark" data-source="post: 6806366" data-attributes="member: 6812085">I'm hoping some other DM's might shed light on the following.I have a player whose character has acquired the spell "Leomunds Secret Chest".  As per the spell, it requires two chests - one small chest (worth 50gp) and a second chest (worth 5000gp).  The character hasn't found a chest like that in the world yet - but the player is adamant they want to get the spell to work.  So, I ruled that the character can craft the chest - using Crafting Rules, ie, 5000gp in 25gp daily increments - which would result in taking 200days to manufacture.  Since the crafting is not of a magical item, I'm allowing the character to not spend any spell slots, and to allow any number of other player characters to help with construction (ie, a total of 10 players would therefore take 20 days to manufacture).  Given that a Bag of Holding is very similar (without the negative connotations of Leomunds Secret Chest) - and as an "uncommon" item would only take 20 days of downtime to contruct by a mage - it really doesn't seem much sense to me to go ahead and spend so long crafting the two chests.  Am I being overly strict ?  Do the crafting rules extend to manufacture of non-magical items ?</blockquote>
