Question on Wands.


Rules Questions


On pp.496 of the core rulebook it states on the chart "Table 15-17" a level one spell "let's say CLW" with 50 charges cost 750gp. How come if the feat is only available at lvl 5, are you figuring a level 1 caster to have created it? Shouldn't it be as per the formula printed, Spell Level (1) X the creator's caster level (min. 5 as per feat req.) X 750gp? Any direction as to where this is clarified would be great. Making the Wand of Cure Light Wounds cost 3750gp?

yyou can set the caster level of a wand lower than yours if you wish. 750x CL1x Spell level 1= 750. a CL 5 wand of a 1st level spell would cost more, but these are just the base prices for the lowest level you can make.

You can create magic items at a lower CL than your own, in this case saving 3000 gp.

Thanks to all of you for speedy reply's


One thing to add, though, is that you can't go below the minimum to be able to cast the spell. So no first level wands of fireball.
