magic item that increases caster level?

[scott2978]

Anyone heard of a magic item that boosts your caster level like the Practiced Spellcaster feat from Complete Divine?

Well, there are actually a couple.

Robe of the Archmagi adds 2 caster levels, for spell penetration purposes.

There are a couple of magical instruments in Magic Item Compendium that add to a Bard's caster level.

One of the beads in a String of Prayer Beads adds 4 to caster level, for 10 minutes a day.

I think I remember a lesser artifact in one of the Book of Artifacts from editions past.

Ah, the Orange Ioun stone grants +1 caster level as well.

This has a large list of things that boost caster level:

Ring of Arcane Power from the Complete Arcane adds +1 for 10,000 gp iirc.

The really interesting question is: How do you eliminate caster level caps (on damage, for example)?

I'd so love to have my stormmage cast 12d6 Fireballs (lightning-subbed) at level 7. That would nicely freak out my DM, and make blasting actually worthwhile instead of merely fun...

Reserves of Strength breaks caster level, but that is kind of 3rd party ish,
There isn't many ways to break caster level caps, though metamagic can accomplish the same output but through a different method.

Psionics does it much better, with Overchannel and Wild Surge, along with not having caps on most blasting spells.

Well, for the Sublime Chord prc, there's the Song of Arcane Power, not as an item but as a Bardic Music ability. It bumps caster level by up to 4, based on your Perform check.

I have no idea how to put Bard songs into items, but...

There is a spell that doesn't have level caps: wings of flurry.
