What do people think of using the crafting cost reducers that are in the DMG? Are they unacceptable to use with a PC crafter?
Specifically, on page 282.
If an item requires a specific skill, it has a -10% reduction.
If an item requires a specific alignment or class, it has a -30% reduction.
It seems that it would make it too easy of a choice for a PC to use these reducers all the time.
Besides making your items cost cheaper, it would have a built in "safety" with the restrictions on it.
