    A Bard of high enough level and the brew potion feat can mass produce potions of greater heroism.... What's not to like about that? The rods and staves are lacking somewhat, but there are a few worth looking at, the Rod of Thundering and Lightning is pretty fun, the Staves of Fire and Ice, Rod of th Python, just so you don't have to kill Jaroo for his one.

    Baldurs Gate 2 Dark Alliance had crafting. Pretty good . You had to use gemstones that granted various properties dependant on what you were crafting.

    Yeah... but that's not how crafting works in pen and paper D&D of any edition. In fact it's more reminiscent of the Materia magic system in Final Fantasy VII.

    Hire Ronald, Spugnoir and Meleny then use them as your crafters. Call them skilled labor, specialist, indentured servants or craft monkeys. Make it their job. Give them only crafting-like feats. You can drop them off in Hommlet and pick them up again as you please.

    I will recruit the Mage in the tower long enough to get the wand feat and make a few useful ones mainly Knock,Identify,invisibility, then let him go as wands are not really all that expensive

    I did the same exact thing. They called it heroes arm. I'd use either twin great swords or twin great axes and craft fire and something else in them. Killed everything within reach.

    In the discussion threads dragonalumni created a post FAQ Clerics,gods and domains. It is the most thorough description of the subject that I have ever read. It also includes 'hidden' powers and abilities. All praise to dragonalumni!
