[QUOTE="Kyrail, post: 4295234, member: 19494"] I understand some items add a level bonus to the base item. +1 scale is level 1-5, add the "Dwarven scale" abilities, its level 2. So "dwarven scale" is a +1 level ability. +2 Dwarven scale is 6, and so on. But how does that work if you had an item power that was more than +4 level bonus, how do you figure the level of the item out? It would bump it up and make it a +2 weapon, but it seems like that makes the weapon stronger for free, and if you added in the minimum level of a +2 item, then you have to bump the level higher and it becomes +3 unto infinity. Same if I stacked abilities and had Flaming Dragonslaying or some such, it would bump it more than another enhancement bonus and keep on going. Unless I'm just confused that is. When I make custom magic items do I... just set a level that makes sense? Honestly there is 19 magic weapons in the PHB and half of those are very high level. I know they're less important now but I will want some custom ones soon. [/QUOTE]
