[QUOTE="Velmont, post: 2633623, member: 13739"] I've not seen any official ruling about that, but I've seen on the WotC D&D forum that the CL could be for the best version for the item. Just look for the pearl of power. The CL is 17. It makes a lot of sense for a Pearl of Power lvl9, but does it make that much senses for a lvl1 one? After all, a Pearl fo Power lvl1 can be randomly found just as much as a cloak of resistance... But looking at the Amulet of Natural Armor, it's ask a CL 5th... so under that logic, it would be for a +5... doesn't support well that argumentation. But I think the best comparaison that can be done, it is the gauntlet of Ogre power. It's ask only CL 6th, where the belt of giant ask for 10th. All other stats boosting magic items ask for CL 8th. Where is the logic in that? Why STR would have a different CL? So, here my opinion on this. WotC have no consistency nor no sensefull rule. I've always liked the idea of the CL is just a default CL for dispel magic and such things. If you meet the requirement, you should be able to create it. SO, you could build an amulet of health +6 at level 3, but can you really gather 18k gp at that level and are you ready to spend 1440 XP for it? The pearl of power ask to be able to cast spells of the level of the pearl, so you could create a level 3 at 5th level, but not a lvl4. Choose your own rule for the item creation feat and I will follow it. After all, you're the all mighty god of this world and only you can bind the rules of magic to your will, my character only follow them :) [/QUOTE]
