Identifying the properties of a magic weapon with enhancement bonus and special abilities

[GustavoMalek]

I have a doubt about the identification of the properties of magic weapons with enhancement bonus and special abilities.

Quote:

SPELLCRAFT: You are skilled at the art of casting spells, identifying magic items, crafting magic items, and identifying spells as they are being cast.

Table: Spellcraft DCs: Identify the properties of a magic item using detect magic = DC 15 + item's caster level.

Common Uses: Spellcraft is used whenever your knowledge and skill of the technical art of casting a spell or crafting a magic item comes into question. This skill is also used to identify the properties of magic items in your possession through the use of spells such as detect magic and identify. The DC of this check varies depending upon the task at hand.

Determine Properties of Magic Item: Attempting to ascertain the properties of a magic item takes 3 rounds per item to be identified and you must be able to thoroughly examine the object. (PFCR 106)

Quote:

Caster Level for Weapons: The caster level of a weapon with a special ability is given in the item description. For an item with only an enhancement bonus and no other abilities, the caster level is three times the enhancement bonus. If an item has both an enhancement bonus and a special ability, the higher of the two caster level requirements must be met. (PFCR 468)

What is the Difficulty Class of a Spellcraft check to identify the properties of a +2 runeforged longsword?

DC 28 = DC 15 + CL 13 of the Runeforged Weapon; or
DC 34 = DC 15 + 13 (Runeforged Weapon) + 6 (3 x +2 Enhancement Bonus);

DC28

CL13 (Runeforged) > CL6 ( 3x enchancement of 2)

The HIGHER of the two must be met, not the SUM of the two.

Yep, you use the higher caster level for all caster level calculations, when it comes to magical items.
