Message: <blockquote data-quote="Patryn of Elvenshae" data-source="post: 1899183" data-attributes="member: 23094">They are saying two different things.Take, for example, the weapon enhancement Icy Burst.It has a "creation block" of:Moderate evocation; CL 10th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, chill metal or ice storm; Price +2 bonus.Now, if you want to make an longsword +1, you first need to have a caster level of 3 or better.  Why?  Because you need to make a +1 Enhancement weapon.Now, if you wanted to make an icy burst longsword +1, you'd need to be at least 3rd caster level (for the longsword) and at least 7th caster level (to meet the prereqs of ice storm).The Caster Level in the description is the *default* caster level - should the party find an icy burst longsword +1, it's got a CL of 10, unless you have reason to specify otherwise.If the players, instead, *make* an icy burst longsword, it can have a CL anywhere from 7 (the minimum to meet the requirements) to the PC's own caster level.In short, the Errata say that the CL in the creation block is the default, and is therefore not a prerequisite, while the RotG article says that the CL in the creation block is the minimum, and is therefore a prerequisite.</blockquote>
