Newb question. Pardon me if this has been addressed elsewhere.

According to the RPGA Character Creation Guide v1.6, I cannot select a "found item" award whose item-level is more than four levels above my own. A friend in the RPGA, however, recently told me that I *can* but that I can't use the item until I'm within four levels of the item. Is my friend mistaken?

Does this mean that I might occasionally be forced to pass up the perfect item for my character due to its requirements laying on the extreme end of the level range for the module?

This was changed in the more recent version of the CCG (version 1.7, which I'd highly suggest downloading from the RPGA site).

Your friend is correct. You can, indeed, take a bundle item that's more than 4 levels above your PC's current level, but you can't use it until you reach a level that's within 4 of the item.

This is, indeed, a change; there were a few items in the first set of modules that 1st level PCs were ineligible to take as treasure under the original rules. This is no longer the case, however.
