The way the xp awards system works, lower level characters catch up faster.  But if death is a rarity in your game this will not be fair nor will it work.  But if for some reason everyone was 15th level and you had 1 1st level, your Average Party level would be about 12.  CR 12 encounters will catch a 1st level up pretty quick.  It works out.  Trust me!Yeah but its got lots of other special things that it does which catapults it past the +10 stage.  Tis an artifact/relic thingy and thus a plot device rather than treasure IMO.</blockquote>
