You convert material of one sort into a product that is of the same material. Creatures or magic items cannot be created or transmuted by the fabricate spell. The quality of items made by this spell is commensurate with the quality of material used as the basis for the new fabrication. If you work with a mineral, the target is reduced to 1 cubic foot per level instead of 10 cubic feet.

You must make an appropriate Craft check to fabricate articles requiring a high degree of craftsmanship.

Casting requires 1 round per 10 cubic feet of material to be affected by the spell.

The question being, does this produce the finished product in one casting or does it emulate a weeks worth of crafting progress like in 3.5?

Anywho, thoughts?
Maybe a dev could give his insight?

I'm having a hard time trying to find where it says they have to be readied to be able to cast a spell.
Is the retrieval of those material costs part of the act of casting a spell as long as they're readily available (ie: spell component pouch outside your clothing) or do you have to use a move action to take it out first?

An fire elemental is standing in a large body of fire?
An water elemental is swimming in a large body of water?
An earth elemental is underground?

We have an upcoming pirate based campaign and I plan on playing a water based druid, using hydraulic push to throw baddies overboard and summoning water elementals to assist my pet shark take them out while they're buggered.
Just an interesting thought, didn't know if they'd turn completely invisible actually.

As we all know, we love farms, but what if we didn't need as many to sustain our current population, freeing up more hexes for other things?

I'm trying to create a creature that'll assist with planting, harvesting and more importantly, increasing annual crop yields. Not sure if this is the right place to put it but I was hoping for some input to make sure this was appropriate for a CR 7 creature.
Input please!

I'm playing in the kingmaker campaign, and I'm very curious how insane this amount of crafting truly is.

Picture if you will: Mathers is a level 6 alchemist. He has six ranks in Craft: Alchemy, 3 INT modifier, he's trained in alchemy, has a +2 obsessive trait for being a gnome, and gains a +6 competence bonus from being an alchemist and masterwork alchemist lab) for a total of +22 on his craft checks.

At level 3 he gained the ability swift alchemy, allowing him to be able to create alchemical items in half the time, effectively doubling his weekly output. My DM has equated that to being able to roll two alchemy checks a week.

After calculating a year of work + time spent with civic duties (we're wasting a couple years after finishing the second module) this equates to an average around 5,000 gold worth of alchemical items produced a year after material cost is taken into consideration.

Now take this into consideration, if I get the master alchemist feat it gives a +2 bonus on my crafting and if I'm using it to make normal alchemical items I use the items GP value as it's SP value when determining my progress, so does this mean I get to craft at ten times the speed again? This is madness!

This means on average I'd be making 50k+ in GP a year. ... our little country can't support that much, I mean I suppose I could use some of it to make fireworks for festivals and reduce the BP costs, but it gets to a point where everything's so saturated that I'm not even sure neighboring cities would be able to purchase/want that much in alchemical goods. This amount only goes up as I level and technically at level 18 I can make any alchemical item as a full round action if I have the materials.

At what point do you think a country becomes saturated, even if I'd be making something useful like gunpowder the country only requires so much.

Thoughts, opinions please?
