09-30-07, 03:26 PM From what I have read, an Artificer can have multiple Dedicated Wrights. However, only one Dedicated Wright can work on one magic item, according to magic item creation rules. For example, an Artificer has 4 Dedicated Wrights. One can work on creating a wand while the other three can work on non-magical items. Since grafts are not considered magical items, can multiple Dedicated Wrights be used to create multiple grafts if the Artificer meets the prerequisites?

Since grafts are not considered magical items, can multiple Dedicated Wrights be used to create multiple grafts if the Artificer meets the prerequisites?Its not that the other Wrights can't help, its just that they don't add anything by doing so. It still takes just as long. Themantically it can make sense to have multiple wrights working on the same item for flavor, especially if its a very large item, seeing how small the wrights are.

And the following is simply my opinion, I have no rules to back this up beyond my own gut reaction.

No, I would not let wrights do multiple grafts. The only reason grafts don't count as magical items is so they can't be supressed by things like anti-magic fields (although any magical effects they grant can be supressed). That way, your grafted legs don't suddenly crumple when you walk into an AMF. Otherwise, grafts *DO* appear to follow pretty much all of the magic item rules, so I at least treat them as magical items for things like construction.
