11-09-06, 02:25 AM I was just curious about your spins on this concept. While under the effects of a circle magic ritual (a red wizard class feature), a circle leader could potentially have an effective caster level of 40. Does this heightened caster level also raise the caster levels of items created during the period? For instance, a scroll of disintigrate or a wand.
Thanks!

Edit: I realize no sane DM would allow this, I just want to double check to see if the core really supports this.

I realized there is an easier way for me to do what I want to do..
I'll save up and buy two scrolls of gate (about 8k each) and over the course of the campaign i'm in I'll gather a group of followers (adepts via leaderhip). When the time comes, I'll call on the support of my followers, and I will draw on their power. When the final battle against the tides of evil occurs, I'll use the two scrolls at an effective caster level of 40, and gate in a great wyrm prysmatic dragon and a great wyrm force dragon. I should be able to accomplish this reasonably by level 15, but if I somehow get the support of higher level casters with tattoo focus, I will be capable of doing this by 10th level.
Of course, the gatings are going to cost me 1000 exp each, but I think this would be worth it.

Help me, I am confused. Those two statements are incompatible.
To cast the scroll with CL40, you need a CL40 scroll which cost 14,000 gp.
