Create Belt of Giant Strength Level requirement


Rules Questions


Hi, Im relativly new to this game and could need some guru advice.

I play a lvl 7 cleric with the craft wondrous item feat and I would like to create a belt of giant strength +4. At yesterdays game we had a discussion about the level req for creating this item. The requirements for creating this item say nothing about level like it do on for example cloak of resistance.

Belt of Giant Strength
Aura moderate transmutation; CL 8th
Slot belt; Weight 1 lb.; Price 4,000 gp (+2), 16,000 gp (+4), 36,000
gp (+6)
Description
This belt is a thick leather affair, often decorated with huge metal
buckles. The belt grants the wearer an enhancement bonus to
Strength of +2, +4, or +6. Treat this as a temporary ability bonus
for the first 24 hours the belt is worn.
Construction
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, bull’s strength; Cost 2,000
gp (+2), 8,000 gp (+4), 18,000 gp (+6)

Cloak of resistance
Aura faint abjuration; CL 5th
Slot shoulders; Price 1,000 gp (+1), 4,000 gp (+2), 9,000 gp (+3),
16,000 gp (+4), 25,000 gp (+5); Weight 1 lb.
Description
These garments offer magic protection in the form of a +1 to +5
resistance bonus on all saving throws (Fortitude, Reflex, and Will).
Construction
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, resistance, creator’s caster
level must be at least three times the cloak’s bonus; Cost 500 gp
(+1), 2,000 gp (+2), 4,500 gp (+3), 8,000 gp (+4), 12,500 gp (+5)

Does this mean that I can create a +6 belt at lvl 7 with a difficulty roll of 13? Or is there something important that I have missed here?


Not every item requires you to be a certain caster level.

For the belt you need to be able to cast bulls strength. I guess I should say you need to have it(bulls strength) prepared, and the spellcraft DC is 13.

For the Cloak you need to be a minimum caster level depending on the bonus the cloak has. If you don't meet the minimum for that bonus then the DC increases by 5.

Example
In order to make the +3 cloak you need a caster level of 9. The spellcraft DC is going to be 10 if you are at least level 9. If you are not level 9 then the DC is 14 since the DC goes up by 5 for every requirement not met.


Ah thank you, this clarifies the creation rules of wondrous items :)
