or a more powerful one with more?

You can do that. Using higher level spell slots deals more dice of damage.

And it does 1d4+strength damage, regardless of how big it is.

I feel like having no way to legally get food or shelter would make it more likely they'd commit crime again, not less.

You can only make one object. I could understand if it was a big pot of soup, but I don't see how this counts as one object.

Here's how I'd use Fabricate to cook:

1. Fabricate plate mail.
2. Sell the plate mail.
3. Use the money to hire a chef.

Much more powerful in 3.5, where salt was worth as much as silver for some reason. And it was a trade good, meaning it's worth the same right next to the ocean where salt is plentiful as it is far away from it when there's no trading route available.

Context?

In D&D, fungi are considered plants, which means a fairy circle is a valid target for Transport via Plants.

Add in the Rogue only being here because he's friends with the Barbarian and we're set.

Or just have house rules about how magical healing works. Maybe it can only bring them back to their natural state, so someone who is born blind can't be cured. Or it's some kind of curse, and you house rule that Dispel Curse doesn't work on plot curses. Or you just don't have Lesser Restoration.

"I'll never give up my grandfather's axe. But the handle does need replacing." Swaps out the handle with the one from the +1 axe. "You know, the head is looking a bit scuffed up too." Swaps the heads.

I looked into this more. Reddit (created by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian) merged with Infogami (created by Aaron Schwartz). There are people calling Aaron Schwartz one of the founders, but that doesn't seem entirely accurate.
