I haven't been able to figure this out.
Suppose you want to create a unique (an item that is not described in the DMG). This is mainly for items that are not scrolls, wands, potions, since I think caster level for these items is usually determined by having the minimum caster level to cast the spell required. (Being at least 5th level to cast Fireball if you are a Wizard.)
However, in the case of Wonderous Items, Rings, etc., what would you do?
A ring of climbing, for instance, has caster level of 5th level, with the prerequisites being no spells needed and only 5 ranks in climb.
An elven cloak has a caster level of 3, with the prequisites of being an elf, and having the invisibility spell.
On the other hand elven boots have a caster level of 5th, with no spells needs, and only having to be an elf.
How would you go about determining what caster level and prerequisites are requied in creating a unique magic item?
I have some specific items in mind, but it would be helpful if I had some general rules or guidelines regarding determining the caster levels and prerequisites for unique items.
