[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5191658, member: 957"] I believe it was Henry who proposed a simple low magic rule quite a few years ago. His rule was that you could never take a class level if that level would increase your caster level above one-half your character level. Thus a 6th level character could be no greater than 3rd level in Wizard, Druid, Sorcerer or Cleric. You could be a Cleric3/Wizard3, or a Cleric3/Fighter3 or whatever. But nothing over caster level 3. It is an entirely reasonable to base magic item pricing on minimum character level instead of caster level. If a CL of 5 is required to craft an item, (say a wand of Fly), then only a character of at least 10th level could craft one. So they would be they much more precious and the value could be calculated using a value of 10 for CL rather 5. (Though the effective caster level remains 5, just the price is recalculated) Now spellcasting is brought down a lot and magic items are significantly constrained. [/QUOTE]
