Theoretical Spell Crafting #1

Building a bridge across a swift river (100 yards across) is not going to be an Easy (craft roll 6) task for a Craftsman. Remember that an Easy task could be completed by the most amateur (Craft 1) of craftsmen roughly 50% of the time. There are probably only a handful of bridges in Mythic Europe that would come close to this span (if any) - because this is hard stuff to do.

Is that really such an incredible span? I'm not disagreeing with you about the Craft Magic (I didn't even think about it before I started the thread), but a 100 yard river doesn't seem too extreme a thing to bridge.
