[QUOTE="dcollins, post: 2141449, member: 876"] And I might put some credence in the errata if it didn't say "The last two sentences in the section on Caster Level are ambiguous and potentially misleading", because they're not, they're very clear and well-structured. I think this errata again winds up contradicting other parts of the rules (see under armor and weapons), and the fact that there are no rules provided for pricing variable caster levels of Wondrous Items (as there are for potions/scrolls/wands). It's not that Monte messed up, because all signs are he didn't write that part of the DMG (see SKR's comments, quoted from ENWorld, on referred website above). My best guess is that there are competing factions in the R&D group about how this should work, and each side keeps over-writing and contradicting the other. I'm with Skip Williams and the most recent Rules of the Game (and the as-published 3.0 and 3.5 DMG), it's the most coherent reading. [/QUOTE]
