Message: <blockquote data-quote="Starfox" data-source="post: 59978" data-attributes="member: 2303">As written, the Necklace of Prayer Beads has a caster level of 17. And, as written, it requires  gate as a prerequisite, regardless wheter there is a Bead of Summons on the necleace or not. So the high caster level requirement is reasonable.The trouble is, the cheapest variant of the necleace cost only 1500 gp. But it still takes a lvl 17 cleric to create, and has a caster level of 17.Now, this is interesting. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">These effects are all very good at penetrating SR.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bless lasts 17 minutes. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cure serious wounds heals 3d8+15 hit points,</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Bead of Smiting has a range of 270 ft., and does the full 5d8 damage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wind Walking affects you plus five creatures and lasts 17 hours.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A lowly  bless from a Necleace of Prayer Beads will render you almost immune to  dispel magic in low-level campaigns.</li> </ul>All in all, this is a real bargain. Is this really reasonable? Or should each of the effects be assumed to have been created at the lowest possible caster level?I am asking as a player, not a DM (though I am both).
