In an upcoming sourcebook, we're going to write additional material for the magic item crafting rules, further explaining and clarifying the nuances of how this works. I'm going to look over existing threads, FAQ entries, and FAQ-flagged threads, but I don't want anything to slip through the cracks, so I'm asking here: Is there anything else about the magic item crafting rules that could use more explanation or examples?
NOTE:
* We are not going to change the crafting rules from how they work in the Core Rulebook, so please don't ask us to. This book isn't going to invalidate the Core Rulebook.Examples of things that could use some clarification or official rulings:
* What sorts of Requirements can you bypass with the "add +5 to the DC" rule? Racial requirements? Spell requirements? Math requirements like "caster level must be 3x the enhancement bonus"? [I'd love to hear about other, obscure Requirements.]
* Does the caster level listed for an item count as a Requirement?
* If a Requirement spell has different spell levels for different classes, what spell level does it use for the pricing of an item?
* Can I increase the caster level of an existing item if it doesn't have any direct effect on its abilities (like a 1st-level pearl of power)? If so, how long does it take to do so?
* Why can't I make an constant-use ring of true strike for just 2,000 gp?
* Can I craft a new wand with fewer than 50 charges?
* Can I put holy and unholy on the same weapon?
* For armor and weapons, am I limited to just +5 in enhancement bonuses and +5 in special abilities, or can I have a +1 enhancement bonus and +9 worth of special abilities?
* Can you take 10 on the Spellcraft check to craft an item?
* Can you use a harmful spell to make an oil that you'd apply to another creature?
* Can an arcane caster use a divine scroll to fulfill an item's divine spell Requirement?
Any other questions like this?
