MIC on long adventures? [Archive] - Wizards Community

12-19-06, 03:16 PM If you are involved in a days-long adventure, can you craft magic items during it? For example, say you are required to go on a 3 week boat trip during an adventure. Obviously you've got the required free time; assuming you had the gold/xp/spells etc, would you be able to craft items while on the boat?

If so, would the standard MIC rules apply? (Additional TU cost would be the important one.) Since it would take no additional time, I would think not, but balance-wise I can see why it would.

Thanks in advance.

12-19-06, 03:46 PM Scroll stuff can conceivably be carried with you; can I craft scrolls in such circumstances? Do I pay normal TU costs?

Not trying to pester you; my group is playing Red Hand of Doom, and the question has come up between the cleric and I.

Edit: What if you happen to have access to a magical laboratory?

(BTW Britt, thanks for the lightning-quick reply. As others have said, it's great to see circle representation on a frequent basis. Kudos!)

12-19-06, 04:07 PM I would have to say it's limited to before an adventure, as the rules say. Since RHoD is multiple ARs, you would probably be able to craft before any individual part. Even if you did have access to a magical lab, it's not really portable, so you wouldn't be able to take it with you. Scrolls would be reasonable, but I think the rule is pretty straightforward that it's only before adventures.

12-19-06, 04:23 PM That's what I was thinking too, but I thought I would check.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. :)

12-19-06, 04:58 PM Remember that the new Dispel Confusion states that Judges are supposed to track the days in RHoD.

I recommend that if a PC does MIC that couldn't be done during other activities, their Judge should add that time onto the clock for that PC.
