[QUOTE="Yora, post: 5470785, member: 6670763"] Hello, first let me thank you for doing all this. Once it's ready I'll surely be using it a lot. Just learned about its existance right now. But I'm afraid I start my contribution to this work with pointing out a semi-major error: From looking over the current test-page, it seems to me that you've fallen into the very common trap regarding the caster level of magic items. [B]You don't have to create a magic item at the listed CL.[/B] It's something almost everyone overlooks and I only found by accident some time ago. And [I]a lot[/I] of items in the SRD are listed with a CL much higher than is actually neccessary. All you need is to have the required feat and be able to cast the required spells. Exceptions are staves, which are explicitly mentioned as having a minimum CL of 8th. A Flaming Burst weapon requires only the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat and the [I]flame blade[/I], [I]flame strike[/I], or [I]fireball[/I] spell. A Belt of Giants Strength only requires the Craft Wonderous Item feat and the [I]bull's strength[/I] spell. There are good reasons not to allow certain very powerful items, but if you use the SRD and apply only the E6 variant and nothing else, these items can be created without any problem. The listed CLs are completely abitrary and would have reduced to 6th for an E6 SRD. I think this only affects the magical arms and armor lists and the wondrous items list. Scrolls, potions, and wands would remain unaffeced. I'm not completely sure about Rings and Rods, but I think E6 has a variant for the Forge Ring feat, so maybe one for the Create Rod feat would also be appropriate, though there not many rods to create with only 3rd level spells. I'd even offer to expand the magic item lists, provided there's not a major error in my interpretation of the rules that makes the whole thing irrelevant. ^^ [/QUOTE]
