On Magic Item Creation, Spell Level, and Caster Level


General Discussion (Prerelease)


I would love to see all spells be the same spell level regardless of class. Maybe make an exception for cleric domains. This clears up half of the magic item formula problem, wherein you have to decide which class the spell is coming from when determining caster level and spell level.

the problem with that would be paly/ranger/bard spells lists which are designed for the delay'd progression.

E.g. Wind Wall Ranger 2, Clr/Wiz/Sorc 3

now if you standardize it and say its a lv3 spell then by the time the ranger can access it he's 11th level instead of 8th. so then to fix that you improve the caster progression for rangers ? change the power of the spell ? it all just gets bit messy. You change one thing and you end up changing alot with spellcasting.
