[PnP] Question on MEL/EL of Natural Magic Items

[pming at northwestel.net]

Hiya!

 I don't remember seeing it... and I've been playing P&P since it 
came out in '83. Of course, that game sill surprises me with 
stuff I didn't know or *thought* I knew, so...who knows? ;)

  The closest I can think of is under Equipment. There's a a 
secion for buying magic items (potions, swords, etc). Maybe 
that's what you are thinking about?

  I'm just getting started to launch another P&P campaign, so 
maybe I'll find it. If I do, I'll be sure to post book and page 
number for you. :)

Healing Talismans and Wands are not Natural magic items. 
Permanent Magics and in Book 2, and section 2.263 of book 4 
describe created items such as these, and how to determine mel 
and el of made or found items.

For actual Natural Items, many 't need a mel or el, others come 
with it predetermined in the description.

On the other hand, if you're just looking to have stats for 
resisting Dispel, the mel of the caster, and el of his or her 
enhancement spell (the one that enhanced the material in the 
first place) would apply.

But, really, for *Natural* magic items, Resisting Dispel is the 
only reason el or el would have to be determined beyond what is 
listed int he items description
