[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 1034486, member: 3051"] Heh, I'm even worse about it. IMC, we use these rules: 1> Minimum caster level equals the level needed for the Feat (like you said). 2> All effects on the item must have the same caster level. 3> Craft Wondrous Item can't be used for unlimited-use or continuous items (other than items that just provide numerical bonuses, such as the stat-booster items, Bracers of Armor, skill boosters, etc.) If you want those sorts of items, get a Ring, Rod, etc. For all those existing unlimited-use items, change to 5/day. This was based on the infamous "quacks like a duck" rule. I'll change it somewhat when I get a better hang of the 3.5 changes. Anyway, to the original topic: the 3.0 BoSS were insanely good. With one cheap little item that could be made by any 3rd-level Wizard or Sorcerer (or some Clerics), you could instantly gain Monk-like mobility. In my experience, everyone could be put into four categories: slower than 30', 30', 40-50', and "ludicrous speed" (60'+, which means Monks only). Moving from one category to another is a major boost in a game where combat involves a grid map. The old boots allowed you to move two categories. (Why is the jump from 50' to 60' so important? It allows you to charge a 30' mover who's flat-out running away. It allows you to partial charge or move-n-attack someone who's double-moving. It allows you to outrun a horse.) They errata the price to 6k. Still, everyone seems to buy them. They add the Boots of Skating in the PsiHB that give a +0 (uphill)/+15' (flat)/+30' (downhill) bonus for 2000 gp. I'm sure the price of those will go up in 3.5E too, since it's based on a 1 min/level spell. I'm happy with the change. [/QUOTE]
