Assuming this answer (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=16652983&postcount=240) was wrong what would the answer to the following question be?


If True Creation (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/spells/trueCreation.htm) is used to make Shapesand (Sa), how many jugs of Shapesand does it make per CL?

Additionally, what size category is a "Jug, clay (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/goodsAndServices.htm)"? Or better, how many cu. ft. does it occupy?

A big thank you to anyone willing to assist me in working this out. It has me fairly baffled and quite frustrated.

A clay jug holds one gallon, which is equal to approximately .134 cubic feet.

To expand on this, a cube of this volume would have a length/height/depth of a little over 6 inches. This puts the clay jug into the Diminutive category.

This is promising, do you remember where is it stated that a jug holds a gallon?

Nevermind it's right there in the srd, I completely missed it. Thanks for the answers.


Better question, according to Google (https://www.google.com/search?q=gallons+to+cubic+feet&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=how+many+gallons+in+a+cubic+foot&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official) 1 cu. ft. holds 7.48052 gallons.
When multiplying by CL to determine how much a casting of True Creation makes do i include everything after the decimal point or not?

I know rounding, fractions, and decimal places get weird in D&D-verse math sometimes so I am unsure about this.

From create water:


Note: Conjuration spells can’t create substances or objects within a creature. Water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon. One cubic foot of water contains roughly 8 gallons and weighs about 60 pounds.

So I think the game rounds it up in this case. I'd just use their math. Pointing to something in a book is official enough for me (even if my inner mathematician rages).
