Create Wonderous Items

[ElectricDragon]

The Prerequisites section further proves that item caster level is separate from creator caster level:

• Prerequisites: Certain requirements must be met in order for a character to create a magic item. These include feats, spells, and miscellaneous requirements such as level, alignment, and race or kind. The prerequisites for creation of an item are given immediately following the item’s caster level.

Only those items that specifically require the creator to be a certain level have level prerequisites (i.e. only those listed by Brother MacLaren).

Making a pair of gauntlets of ogre power requires a 3rd level caster (to cast the required 2nd level spell and to have the required feat), but the item in question saves versus spells/powers/abilities or resists dispel magic as if it were 6th level (Fort, Ref, and Will saves +5, dispel magic DC 17).
