I am playing new character and when I was making it I found all the food options listed in the equipment section. I really liked the idea of making a cook for the party so a bought lots of food and cooking supplies and took craft cooking. When I looked at the craft rules however the time it takes to make one meal is ridicules even if I increase the dc of the check.

1 week = 7 days * 8 hr * 60 min = 3360 min
dc 5 + 10 to cut time = 15 dc
take 10 + int 2 + ranks 4 = 16
Meal, good (per day) 5sp * 5 players = 25 sp
15 dc * 16 check = 240
240 / 25 = 9.6
3360 min/ 9.6 = 350 min to cook one meal for everyone or 5.8 hours

obviously this system was not designed for cooking. but with so many food options on the book I figure someone must have a good system somewhere. My DM has said if I can find a good system she will let me use it.

Any ideas?

Ok, this is the first time I have ever asked a question so if it's stupid or covered else where please forgive me and tell me where to look.

In our gaming group I am playing a fourth lev fighter. I have a great axe as my main weapon and full plate for armor. I have a good strength stat of 17. The armor makes me really slow so I recently bought some potions of enlarge person to give myself some reach.

My dungeon master attacked the party with an endless series of skeletons and I drank one of my potions to give myself attacks of opportunity.

When my DM read over the enlarge spell she pointed out that if you multiply the weight of my gear by eight (even if I dropped everything but my armor and axe) that my gear now weighs 496 lbs. My strength of 17 + 2 = 19 only gave me a heavy load max of 350 lbs.

Because of this she ruled that I was pinned under the weight of my own gear and could not move or fight. :-(

I have looked for more info on this and have since found that a large creature has twice the carrying capacity however this still seems ridicules as it would still move me from a light load to a heavy load.

I am assuming that the +2 strength in the enlarge spell is a typo since the size categories for monsters have the strength scores go up much more per level. Dose anyone know if this error was corrected anywhere. I can't use the potions unless I can prove to her it was an error from an official paizo source.

Thanks for the help
