[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 134898, member: 1134"] I have almost always run it that way Anubis. Once I found out the caster level shown in the special ability decription didn't mean much of anything. I thought that the x3 should apply to the enhancement bonus or the special ability bonus, it makes a lot more sense to me since the special ability bonus also limits the total power of the item, and it also limits the really powerful stuff to high levels instead of just when you can afford to make it. For some strange reason I don't want fighters, having the wizard make them a vorpal scimitar at 10th level. By the way if caster level means jack as some creaters have commented, then the x3 caster level req for enhancement bonuses shouldn't really exist either. Because in my eddition at least it is phrased as a caster level, not creater level requirement. So any shmuck even at 5th level should be able to make a +5 sword, it they had the cash and xp. And if that caster level means something and the others don't is there really a decent reason for it. I personally think this is just one of the areas they screwed up on in craft arms and armor. The special ability bonuses are way out of whack as well IMO as an additional area I think they screwed up, but what they hey no system is perfect for everyone. [/QUOTE]
