Please mark this thread for review by clicking the FAQ button in the upper right corner. The short-form question for the FAQ is this: Does the Summoner class's early spell access lower the price for magic items such as potions of haste & boots of speed?
The rules for item creation in the Core Rulebook state that the price for things such as potions and wands depends on spell level multiplied by item's caster level. The item CL must be at least the minimum level required by the class that casts the spell in question.
Now, summoners get a number of spells at lower level than wizards etc. By lower level, I mean, in most cases, both lower spell level AND lower minimum caster level. For example, the following spells were formerly at a minimum spell level of "wizard 3", and wizards first get such spells at CL 5th:
Here's the rest of the affected spells, with thanks to Ashiel for gathering this info:
Can someone please confirm how this affects (A) consumable magic items and (B) wondrous items? If I'm reading the rules correctly, a number of wondrous items like boots of speed are now incorrectly priced in the Core Rulebook.
Special thanks to Ashiel, whose wonderful Guide to Adventure brought this to my attention, and who did all the work in compiling the above lists of affected spells.
