Usually the argument is to prove how certain spells, or the D&D economy, or a specific edition of D&D are broken.I wonder: Has any PC actually used these spells to make money?I've seen some spells, (like the various wall spells), used for constructing the PC's own forts/towers/etc., which could be argued is making money, (by saving money). But that's not what I mean. I mean has anyone seen a mage give up adventuring to cast spells for cash? Or even use spells to supplement income?I've seen a 3rd-level elf fighter/magic-user, (AD&D1), try using a cantrip to turn pig ears into bugbear ears to turn in for bounty, but the other PCs in the party put an end to that by deciding to just go on the adventure to kill bugbears.How about you? Have you seen PC mages actually run a spell-to-money scam using the "broken" game system?If yes, was the scam actually more profitable than just going on adventures?Bullgrit</blockquote>
