[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 3337952, member: 4722"] *nods* I ruled that if the crafting time is over 1 week (however long that is in your world) you can make checks by the week instead - so instead of rolling 30 times, you only have to roll 3-4 times. Not sure how well it'd work with the existing system, though. :lol: I came up with an idea a couple nights ago for our system.
