As I understand it, crafting a normal item (such as a long sword) follows the rules for the Craft skill as outlined in the 3.5 PHB and there is nothing special/specific to LG for doing so. I ask because the only information about crafting items I can find is about crafting magic items, not mundane. Specifically, LGCS 4.2, page 55 outlines the basics of TU cost and how many days each TU gives you to work with (five per TU) and specifies that you can only spend more than 1 TU if the item would take you more than 1 TU to craft due to cost (1,000 gp per day). But using the normal craft skill rules mundane items could easily take you many weeks or months to craft (a masterwork items being a good example). So are there any rules outlined or can you take 20 TUs to make your own masterwork sword? Any help would be appreciated and if I overlooked something in my reading of the LGCS which should be obvious my apologies in advance. Happy gaming

Aside from whatever rare use in a mod it see, LG allows you to use the skill only for creating random bits of cash between adventures. This has been a sore spot for many players for quite some time. Common arguments againt allowing normal mundane craft rules have (IMHO) been weak at best. We've brought it up each time the LGCS is scheduled to be revamped now for almost three years, but so far, no such luck. Maybe this time around.

Yeah it is a shame as it would be incredibly easy to adjust the MIC rules to include mundane item creation. Likewise it would be easy to adjust the MIC forms. Mind you those MIC forms need adjustment anyway considering it makes you list senario name multiple times on the same page and the senario CANNOT change! It's pretty bad, just low on the totem pole I guess. -James
