[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 3618810, member: 16991"] yes the rod of withering is completely over the top for this level. by the standard treasure by level tables - the earliest a PC should have 25k in magic would be 8th level. At 10th level it would still be half the normal wealth. see pg 127 and 135 in the DMG. using these tables a ring of the ram would be alright if it is that characters only magic item. A good selection for a 6th level cleric might be + 1 full plate (2.6k) vs 4.5k Instead of the breastplate and +9 AC vs +6 AC the cleric will only get 1 action each round, so just use the ring anytime you want to do damage. The party is going to remember an enemy who does 3d6 damage and throws people into walls. (+13 bull rush with each attack) a more common selection for a 6th level NPC would be +1 armor, +1 weapon and +1 shield, with a few potions or scrolls. Caster level: this is only used for item saving throws or dispel checks, it has no bearing on when an item should be available [/QUOTE]
