WONDROUS ITEM DESCRIPTIONS

Amulet of Health

This amulet grants the wearer an enhancement bonus to Constitution of +2, +4, or +6.

Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, endurance; Market Price: 4, 000 gp (+2), 16,000 gp (+4), or 36,000 gp (+6); Weight: -.

Amulet of Natural Armor

This toughens the wearer’s body and flesh, giving him or her a natural armor bonus to AC of from +1 to +5, depending on the type of amulet.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, barkskin, creator’s caster level must be at least three times the amu­let’s bonus; Market Price: 2,000 gp (+1), 8,000 gp (+2), 18,000 gp (+3), 32,000 gp (+4), or 50,000 gp (+5); Weight: -.

Amulet of the Planes

This amulet allows its wearer to utilize plane shift. However, this is a difficult item to master. The user must make an Intelligence check (DC 15) in order to get the amulet to take him or her to the plane (and the specific location on that plane) that the user wants. If the user fails, the amulet transports him or her and all those traveling with the user to a random location on that plane (a 01-60 result on d%) or to a random plane (61-100).

Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, plane shift; Market Price: 80,000 gp; Weight: -.

Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location

This amulet protects the wearer from scrying and magical location just as a nondetection spell does. If a divination is attempted against the wearer, the caster of the divination must succeed at a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against a DC of 19 (as if the caster had cast nondetection on his or herself).

Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, nondetection; Market Price: 35,000 gp; Weight: -.

Amulet of Undead Turning

This holy item allows a cleric or paladin to turn undead as if he or she were four levels higher than his or her actual class level.

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, 10th-level cleric; Market Price: 11,000 gp; Weight: -.

Bag of Holding

The bag of holding opens into a nondimensional space: Its inside is larger than its outside dimensions. Regardless of what is put into the bag, it weighs a fixed amount. This weight, and the limits in weight and volume of the bag’s contents, depend on the bag’s type, as shown on the table below:

If the bag is overloaded, or if sharp objects pierce it (from inside or outside), the bag ruptures and is ruined. All contents are lost forever. If a bag of holding is turned inside out, its contents spill out, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. If living creatures are placed within the bag, they can survive for up to 10 minutes, after which time they suffocate. Retrieving a specific item from a bag of holding is a move ­equivalent action, unless the bag contains more than an ordinary backpack would hold, in which case retrieving a specific item is a full-round action.

If a bag of holding is placed within a portable hole, a rift to the Astral Plane is torn in the space: Bag and hole alike are sucked into the void and forever lost. If a portable hole is placed within a bag of holding, it opens a gate to the Astral Plane: The hole, the bag, and any creatures within a 10-foot radius are drawn there, destroying the portable hole and bag of holding in the process.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, secret chest.

Bag of Tricks

This small sack appears normal and empty. However, anyone reaching into the bag feels a small, fuzzy ball. If the ball is removed and tossed up to 20 feet away, it turns into an animal. The animal serves the character who drew it from the bag for 10 minutes (or until slain or ordered back into the bag), at which point it disappears. There are three drab colors of bags, each producing a different set of animals. Use the following tables to determine what animals can be drawn out of each.

Animals produced are always random, and only one may exist at a time. Up to ten animals can be drawn from the bag each week.

Caster Level: 3rd (gray), 5th (rust), or 9th (tan); Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item; summon nature’s ally II (gray), summon nature’s ally III (rust), or summon nature’s ally V (tan); Market Price: 900 gp (gray); 3,000 gp (rust); 6,300 gp (tan); Weight: -.

Bead of Force

Upon sharp impact this bead explodes, sending forth a burst of force that deals 5d6 points of damage to all creatures within a 10-foot radius. Each victim is allowed a Reflex saving throw (DC 16). Those who fail are then encapsulated in a sphere of force with a radius of 10 feet. Those trapped inside cannot escape except by those methods that can bypass or destroy a wall of force. The sphere persists for 3d6 minutes and then disappears. The explosion completely consumes the bead, making this a one-use item.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, wall of force; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: -.

Belt, Monk’s

This simple rope belt, when wrapped around a character’s waist, confers great ability in unarmed combat. Any time the wearer engages in unarmed combat, the belt grants him or her the ability to use both hands as though the wearer possessed the Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting feats. The wearer may also make a stunning attack (as a monk) once per day. If donned by a monk, the belt grants one additional stunning attack per day and allows the monk to haste him or herself once per day for up to 10 consecutive rounds.

Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, haste, righteous might or transformation; Market Price: 9,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Belt of Dwarvenkind

This belt gives the wearer a +4 competence bonus on all Charisma checks and Charisma-keyed skill checks as they relate to dealing with dwarves, a +2 competence bonus on similar checks when dealing with gnomes and halflings, and a -2 competence penalty on similar checks when dealing with anyone else. The wearer can understand, speak, and read Dwarven. If the wearer is not a dwarf, he or she gains darkvision (range 60 feet), dwarven stonecunning, a +2 enhancement bonus to Constitution, and +2 resistance bonuses against poison, spells, and spell-like effects.

Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, tongues, and either polymorph self or the creator must be a dwarf; Market Price: 14,900 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Belt of Giant Strength

This belt adds to the wearer’s Strength score in the form of an enhancement bonus of +4 or +6.

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, bull’s strength; Market Price: 16,000 gp (+4) or 36,000 gp (+6); Weight: 1 lb.

Boat, Folding

A folding boat looks like a small wooden box-about 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. It can be used to store items like any other box. If a command word is given, however, the box unfolds itself to form a boat 10 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet in depth. A second (different) command word causes it to unfold to a ship 24 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. Any objects formerly stored in the box now rest in the bottom of the boat or ship.

In its smaller form, the boat has one pair of oars, an anchor, a mast, and a lateen sail. In its larger form, the boat has a deck, single rowing seats, five sets of oars, a steering oar, an anchor, a deck cabin, and a mast with a square sail. The boat can hold three or four people comfortably, while the ship carries fifteen with ease.

A third word of command causes the boat or ship to fold itself into a box once again. The words of command may be inscribed visibly or invisibly on the box, or they may be written elsewhere.

Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fabricate, 2 ranks of Craft (shipmaking); Market Price: 10,500 gp; Weight: 4 lb.

Blessed Book

This well-made tome is always of small size, typically no more than 12 inches tall, 8 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. All such books are durable, waterproof, bound with iron overlaid with silver, and locked.

The pages of a Blessed Book freely accept spells scribed upon them, and any such book can contain up to forty-five spells of any level.  This book is never found as randomly generated treasure with spells already inscribed in it.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, secret page; Market Price: 9,500 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Boots of Elvenkind

These soft boots enable the wearer to move quietly in virtually any surroundings, granting a +10 circumstance bonus to Move Silently checks.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, creator must be an elf; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Boots of Levitation

These leather boots allow the wearer to levitate as if he or she had cast levitate on him or herself.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, levitate; Market Price: 7,500 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Boots of Speed

On command, these boots enable the wearer to act as though hasted for up to 10 rounds each day. The duration of the haste need not be consecutive rounds.

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, haste; Market Price: 8,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Boots of Striding and Springing

The wearer of these boots moves at double his or her normal speed. In addition to this striding ability, these boots allow the wearer to make great leaps. The wearer can jump with a +10 competence bonus to Jump checks, and the wearer’s jumping dis­tance is not limited by his or her height.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, expeditious retreat, jump; Market Price: 6,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Boots, Winged

These boots appear to be ordinary footgear. On command, the boots sprout wings at the heel and let the wearer fly, without having to maintain concentration, as if affected by a fly spell. The wearer can fly for a total of up to 2 hours each day.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fly; ­Market Price: 12,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Boots of the Winterlands

This footgear bestows many powers upon the wearer. First, the wearer is able to travel across snow at his normal speed, leaving no tracks. The boots also enable the wearer to travel at half normal speed across the most slippery ice (horizontal surfaces only, not vertical or sharply slanted ones) without falling or slipping. Finally, boots of the winterlands warm the wearer, as if he or she were affected by an endure elements (cold) spell.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, endure elements, pass without trace, cat’s grace; Market Price: 2,500 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Bottle of Air

When taken to any airless environment (such as underwater or in a vacuum), this bottle retains air within it at all times, continually renewing its contents. This means that a character can draw air out of the bottle in order to breathe. The bottle can even be shared by multiple characters who pass it around. Breathing out of the bottle requires a standard action, but a character so doing can then act for as long as the character can hold his or her breath.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, control wind; Market Price: 14,500 gp; Weight: 2 lb.

Bowl of Commanding Water Elementals

This large container is about 1 foot in diameter, half that deep, and relatively fragile. When the bowl is filled with fresh water, and certain words are spoken, a Large water elemental appears. The summoning words require 1 full round to speak. In all ways the bowl functions as the summon monster VI spell. Only one elemental can be called at a time. A new elemental requires the bowl to be filled with new water, which cannot happen until after the first elemental disappears (is dispelled, dismissed, or slain).

If salt water is used, the elemental is Huge rather than Large (as if summon monster VII had been cast).

Caster Level: 13th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, summon monster VI, summon monster VII; Market Price: 100,000 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Bracelet of Friends

This charm bracelet has seven charms upon it. The owner may designate one person known to him or her to be keyed to one charm. (This designation takes a standard action, but once done it lasts forever or until changed.) When a charm is grasped and the name of the keyed individual is spoken, that person is called to the spot (another standard action) along with his or her gear. Unwilling characters are allowed a Will saving throw (DC 19). Once a charm is activated, it disappears, so such bracelets discovered as treasure may have fewer than a full complement of charms when found.

Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, refuge; Market Price: 4,550 gp; Weight: -.

Bracers of Archery

These bracers empower the wearer to use any bow (not including crossbows) as if the wearer were proficient in its use. If the wearer already has proficiency with any type of bow, he or she gains a +2 competence bonus to attack rolls and a +1 competence bonus to damage dealt whenever using that type of bow. The bonus to damage only applies if the target is within 30 feet. Both bracers must be worn for the magic to be effective.

Caster Level: 4th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Craft Magic Arms and Armor; Market Price: 5,100 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Bracers of Armor

These items surround the wearer with an invisible but tangible field of force, granting an armor bonus of +1 to +8, just as though he or she were wearing armor. Both bracers must be worn for the magic to be effective.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, mage armor, creator’s class level must be twice that of the bonus placed in the bracers; Market Price: 1,000 gp (+1), 4,000 gp (+2), 9,000 gp (+3), 16,000 gp (+4), 25,000 gp (+5), 36,000 gp (+6), 49,000 gp (+7), or 64,000 gp (+8); Weight: 1 lb.

Brazier of Commanding Fire Elementals

This device appears to be a normal container for holding burning coals. When a fire is lit in the brazier and the proper summoning words are ­spoken, a Large fire elemental appears. The summoning words require 1 full round to speak. In all ways the brazier functions as the summon monster VI spell. If brimstone is added, the elemental is Huge instead of Large, and the brazier works as a summon monster VII spell. Only one elemental can be summoned at a time. A new elemental requires a new fire, which cannot be lit until after the first elemental disappears (is dispelled, dismissed, or slain).

Caster Level: 13th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, summon monster VI, summon monster VII; Market Price: 100,000 gp; Weight: 5 lb.

Brooch of Shielding

This appears to be a piece of silver or gold jewelry used to fasten a cloak or cape. In addition to this mundane task, it can absorb magic missiles of the sort generated by spell or spell-like ability. A brooch can absorb up to 101 points of magic missile damage before it melts and becomes useless.

Caster Level: 1st; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, shield; Market Price: 1,500 gp; Weight: -.

Broom of Flying

This broom is able to fly through the air as if affected by a fly spell with unlimited duration. The broom can carry 200 pounds. In addition, the broom can travel alone to any destination named by the owner as long as he or she has a good idea of the location and layout of that destination. It comes to its owner from as far away as 300 yards when he or she speaks the command word.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fly, permanency; Market Price: 15,100 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Candle of Invocation

Each of these candles is dedicated to one of the nine alignments. Simply burning the candle generates a favorable aura for the individual so doing if the candle’s alignment matches that of the character. Characters of the same alignment as the burning candle add a +2 morale bonus to attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks while within 30 feet of the flame.

A cleric whose alignment matches the candle’s operates as if 2 levels higher for purposes of determining spells per day if the cleric burns the candle during or just prior to his or her spell preparation time. The cleric can even cast spells normally unavailable to him or her, as if the cleric were of that higher level, but only so long as the candle continues to burn. Except in special cases (see below), the candle burns for 4 hours.

In addition, burning the candle also allows the owner to cast a gate spell, the respondent being of the same alignment as the candle, but the taper is immediately consumed in the process. It is possible to extinguish the candle simply by blowing it out. Placing the candle in a lantern for protection doesn’t interfere with its magical properties.

Caster Level: 17th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, gate, creator must be same alignment as candle created; Market Price: 7,800 gp; Weight: 1/2 lb.

Candle of Truth

This candle, when burned, calls into place a zone of truth spell in a 30-foot radius centered on the candle. The zone lasts for 1 hour, as the candle burns. If the candle is snuffed before that time, the effect is canceled and the candle ruined.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, zone of truth; Market Price: 2,500 gp; Weight: 1/2 lb.

Cape of the Mountebank

On command, this cape allows the wearer to use the magic of the dimension door spell once per day. When the wearer disappears, he or she leaves behind a cloud of smoke, appearing in a similar fashion at his destination.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, dimension door; Market Price: 12,960 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Carpet of Flying

This rug is able to fly through the air as if affected by a fly spell of unlimited duration. The size, carrying capacity, and speed of the different carpets of flying are shown on the table below. Each carpet has its own command word to activate it-if the device is within voice range, the command word activates it, whether the speaker is on the rug or not. The carpet is then controlled by spoken directions.

Censer of Controlling Air Elementals

This 6-inch-wide, 1-inch-high perforated golden vessel resembles thuribles found in places of worship. If it is filled with incense and lit, summoning words spoken over it summon forth a Large air elemental. The summoning words require 1 full round to speak. In all ways the censer functions as the summon monster VI spell. If incense of meditation is burned within the censer, the air elemental is an elder air elemental instead (as if summon monster IX had just been cast). Only one elemental can be summoned at a time. A new elemental requires a new piece of incense, which cannot be lit until after the first elemental disappears (is dispelled, dismissed, or slain).

Caster Level: 17th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, summon monster VI, summon monster IX; Market Price: 100,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Chaos Diamond

This lustrous gemstone is uncut and about the size of a human fist. The gem grants its possessor the following powers:

Each power is usable 1d4 times per day. (The DM rolls secretly each day for each power separately.)

A nonchaotic character who possesses a chaos diamond gains one negative level. Although this level never results in actual level loss, it remains as long as the diamond is in the character’s possession and cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells).

Caster Level: 19th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, random action, magic circle against law, word of chaos, cloak of chaos, creator must be chaotic; Market Price: 93,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Chime of Interruption

This instrument can be struck once every 10 minutes, and its resonant tone lasts for 3 full minutes. While the chime is resonating, no spell requiring a verbal component can be cast within a 30-foot radius of it unless the caster can make a Con­centration check (DC = 15 + the spell’s level).

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, shout; Market Price: 15,800 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Chime of Opening

A chime of opening is a hollow mithral tube about 1 foot long. When struck, it sends forth magic vibrations that cause locks, lids, doors, valves, and portals to open. The device functions against normal bars, shackles, chains, bolts, and so on. The chime of opening also automatically dispels a hold portal spell or an arcane lock cast by a wizard of less than 15th level.

The chime must be pointed at the item or gate to be loosed or opened (which must be visible and known to the user). The chime is then struck, a clear tone rings forth, and in 1 round the target lock is unlocked, the shackle is loosed, the secret door is opened, or the lid of the chest is lifted. Each sounding only opens one form of locking. A silence spell negates the power of the device. A brand-new chime can be used a total of 50 times before it cracks and becomes useless.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, knock; Market Price: 3,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Circlet of Blasting, Minor

On command, this simple golden headband pro­jects a blast of searing light (3d8 points of damage) once per day.

Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, searing light; Market Price: 6,480 gp; Weight: -.

Circlet of Blasting, Major

On command, this elaborate golden headband projects a blast of searing light (5d8 maximized for 40 points of damage) once per day.

Caster Level: 17th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Max­imize Spell, searing light; Market Price: 23,760 gp; Weight: -.

Circlet of Persuasion

This silver headband grants a +2 com­pe­tence bonus to the wearer’s Charisma checks and Charisma-based skill checks.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, charm person; Market Price: 4,500 gp; Weight: -.

Cloak of Arachnida

This black garment gives the wearer the ability to climb as if a spider climb spell had been placed upon him or her. In addition, the cloak grants the wearer immunity to entrapment by web spells or webs of any sort-the wearer can actually move in webs at half his or her normal speed.

Once per day, the wearer of this cloak can cast web. The wearer also gains a +2 luck bonus to all Fortitude saves against poison from spiders.

Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, spider climb, web; Market Price: 6,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Cloak of the Bat

This cloak bestows a +10 circumstance bonus to Hide checks. The wearer is also able to hang upside down from the ceiling, like a bat.

By holding the edges of the garment, the wearer is able to fly as per the spell. If the wearer desires, the wearer can actually polymorph him or herself into an ordinary bat and fly accordingly. (All possessions worn or carried are part of the transformation.) Flying, either with the cloak or in bat form, can be accomplished only in darkness (either under the night sky or in a lightless or near-lightless environment underground). Either of the flying powers is usable for up to 1 hour at a time, but after a flight of any duration the cloak cannot bestow any flying power for a like period of time.

Finally, the cloak also provides a +2 deflection bonus to Armor Class. This benefit extends to the wearer even when he or she is in bat form.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fly, polymorph self; Market Price: 24,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Cloak of Charisma

When in a character’s possession, this cloak adds a +2, +4, or +6 enhancement bonus to the wearer’s Charisma score.

Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, charm monster; Market Price: 4, 000 gp (+2), 16,000 gp (+4), or 36,000 gp (+6); Weight: 2 lb.

Cloak of Displacement, Minor

This item appears to be a normal cloak, but when worn by a character its magic properties distort and warp light waves. This displacement works similar to the displacement spell except that it only grants a 20% miss chance (the same as one-half concealment). It functions continually.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, displacement; Market Price: 25,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Cloak of Displacement, Major

This item appears to be a normal cloak, but when worn by a character its magic properties distort and warp light waves. This displacement works just like the displacement spell and functions continually.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, displacement; Market Price: 50,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Cloak of Elvenkind

This cloak of neutral gray cloth is indistinguishable from an ordinary cloak of the same color. However, when worn with the hood drawn up around the head, it gives the wearer a +10 circumstance bonus on Hide checks.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, invisibility, creator must be an elf; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Cloak of Etherealness

On command, the cloak makes its wearer ethereal (as the spell ethereal jaunt). The effect is dismissible. The cloak works for a total of up to 10 minutes per day. This duration need not be continuous.

Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, ethereal jaunt; Market Price: 52,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Cloak of the Manta Ray

This cloak appears to be made of leather until the wearer enters salt water. At that time the cloak of the manta ray adheres to the individual, and he or she appears nearly identical to a manta ray. (A Spot check against DC 20 is needed to determine otherwise.) The wearer gains a +3 natural armor bonus, the ability to breathe underwater, and a speed of 60 feet, exactly like a real manta ray.

Although the cloak does not enable the wearer to bite opponents as a manta ray does, it does have a tail spine that can be used to strike at opponents behind the wearer, dealing 1d6 points of damage. This attack can be used in addition to any other attack the character has, using the wearer’s highest melee attack bonus. The wearer can release his or her arms from the cloak without sacrificing underwater movement if so desired.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, water breathing, freedom of movement; Market Price: 20,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Cloak of Resistance

These garments offer magic protection in the form of a +1 to +5 resistance bonus for all saving throws (Fortitude, Reflex, Will).

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, resistance, caster level must be three times that of the cloak’s bonus; Market Price: 1, 000 gp (+1), 4,000 gp (+2), 9,000 gp (+3), 16,000 gp (+4), or 25,000 gp (+5); Weight: 1 lb.

Crystal Ball

This is the most common form of scrying device, a crystal sphere about 6 inches in diameter. A character can use the device to see over virtually any distance or into other planes of existence, as with the spell scrying.

Certain crystal balls have additional powers that can be used through the crystal ball at targets viewed.

Crystal Ball Type                                  Market Price

-----------------                                   ------------

Crystal ball                                           42,000 gp

Crystal ball with see invisibility   50,000 gp

Crystal ball with detect thoughts            51,000 gp

Crystal ball with telepathy*                   70,000 gp

Crystal ball with true seeing                   80,000 gp

*-The viewer is able to send and receive silent mental messages with the person appearing in the crystal ball. Once per day the character may attempt to implant a suggestion (as the spell, DC 14) as well.

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, scrying (plus any additional spells put into item); Weight: 7 lb.

Cube of Force

About the size of a large die (perhaps 3/4 inch across), this device enables its possessor to put up a special wall of force 10 feet per side around his or her person. This cubic screen moves with the character and is impervious to the attack forms shown on the table below. The cube has 36 charges, which are renewed each day. The character presses one face of the cube to activate or deactivate the field:

Cube    Charge Cost     Maximum

Face     per Minute        Speed              Effect

----      -----------        -------              ------

1          1                      30 ft.                Keeps out gases, wind, etc.

2          2                      20 ft.                Keeps out nonliving matter

3          3                      15 ft.                Keeps out living matter

4          4                      10 ft.                Keeps out magic

5          6                      10 ft.                Keeps out all things

6          0                      As normal         Deactivates

When the force screen is up, attacks dealing more than 30 points of damage drain 1 charge for every 10 points of damage beyond 30 that they. Spells that affect the integrity of the screen, such as disintegrate or passwall, also drain extra charges. These spells (in the following list) cannot be cast into or out of the cube:

Attack Form                 Extra Charges

-----------                    -------------

Horn of blasting            6

Wall of fire                   2

Passwall                       3

Disintegrate                  6

Phase door                   5

Prismatic spray 7

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, wall of force; Market Price: 62,000 gp; Weight: -.

Cube of Frost Resistance

When this cube is activated, it encloses a cube-shaped area 10 feet per side. The temperature within this area is always at least 65°F. The field absorbs all cold-based attacks. How­ever, if the field is subjected to more than 50 points of cold damage in 1 round (from one or multiple attacks), it collapses and cannot be renewed for 1 hour. If the field receives over 100 points of damage in a 10-round period, the cube is destroyed.

Cold below 0°F deals the field 2 points of cold damage per round, +2 points per each 10° below 0 (2 points at -1° to -9°, 4 points at -10° to -19°, and so on).

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, protection from elements; Market Price: 22,000 gp; Weight: -.

Cubic Gate

Each of the six sides of the cube is keyed to a plane, one of which is the Material Plane. The character creating the item should choose the planes to which the other five sides are keyed. If such a cube is found as treasure, the DM can determine the planes accessed by the device in any manner he or she chooses.

If a side of the cubic gate is pressed once, it opens a gate to the plane keyed to that side. There is a 10% chance per minute that an outsider from that plane (determine randomly) comes through it looking for food, fun, or trouble. Pressing the side a second time closes the gate. It is impossible to open more than one gate at a time.

If a side is pressed twice in quick succession, the character so doing is transported to the other plane, along with all creatures in a 5-foot radius. (Those others may avoid this fate by succeeding at Will saves against DC 23).

Caster Level: 18th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, gate; Market Price: 156,000 gp; Weight: -.

Darkskull

Wherever this evil skull goes, the area around it is treated as though an unhallow spell had been cast with the skull as the touched point of origin (except that there is no additional spell effect tied or fixed to the darkskull).

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, unhallow, creator must be evil; Market Price: 60,000 gp; Weight: 5 lb.

Decanter of Endless Water

If the stopper is removed from this ordinary-looking flask and a command word spoken, a stream of fresh or salt water pours out. Separate command words determine the type as well as the volume and velocity:

The geyser causes considerable back pressure, requiring the holder to make a Strength check (DC 12) to avoid being knocked down. The force of the geyser deals 1d4 points of damage but can only affect one target per round. The command word must be spoken to stop it.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, control water; Market Price: 9,000 gp; Weight: 2 lb.

Deck of Illusions

This set of parchment cards is usually found in an ivory, leather, or wooden box. A full deck consists of thirty-four cards. When a card is drawn at random and thrown to the ground, a major image of a creature is formed. The figment lasts until dispelled. The illusory creature cannot move more than 30 feet away from where the card landed, but otherwise moves and acts as if it were real. At all times it obeys the desires of the character who drew the card. When the illusion is dispelled, the card becomes blank and cannot be used again. If the card is picked up, the illusion is automatically and instantly dispelled. The cards in a deck and the illusions they bring forth are summarized on the following table. (Use one of the first two columns to simulate the contents of a full deck using either ordinary playing cards or tarot cards.)

A randomly generated deck may be discovered (a 01-10 result on d%) with 1d20 of its cards missing. (On a result of 11-100, it is complete.)

Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, major image; Market Price: 9,200 gp; Weight: 1/2 lb.

Dimensional Shackles

Any creature bound within these shackles is affected as if a dimensional anchor spell were cast upon him or her (no save). They fit any Small to Large creature. The DC to break or slip out of the shackles is 30.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, dimensional anchor; Market Price: 26,000 gp; Weight: 5 lb.

Apparatus of the Crab

This item appears to be a large, sealed iron barrel, but it has a secret catch (Search DC 20 to locate) that opens a hatch in one end. Anyone who crawls inside finds ten (unlabeled) levers:

The device has the following characteristics:

Operating a lever is a full-round action, and no lever may be operated more than once per round. However, since two Medium-size characters can fit inside, the apparatus can move and attack in the same round (one character moves the apparatus and the other causes it to attack). The device can function in water up to 900 feet deep. It holds enough air for a crew of two to survive 1d4+1 hours (twice as long for a single occupant). When activated, the apparatus looks something like a giant lobster.

Caster Level: 19th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects, continual flame, 8 ranks of Knowledge (architecture and engineering); Market Price: 130,000 gp; Weight: 500 lb.

Drums of Panic

These drums are kettle drums (hemispheres about 1 1/2 feet in diameter on stands). They come in pairs and are unremarkable in appearance. If both of the pair are sounded, all creatures within 120 feet (with the exception of those within a 20-foot-radius safe zone around the drums) are affected as by a fear spell (Will negates DC 16).

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fear; Market Price: 30,000 gp; Weight: 10 lb.

Dust of Appearance

This fine powder appears to be a very light metallic dust. A single handful of this substance flung into the air coats surrounding objects, making them visible even if they are invisible-just like the glitterdust spell. (The dust of appearance, however, doesn’t blind creatures.) The dust also reveals figments, mirror images, and projected images for what they are. It likewise negates the effects of blur and displacement. (In this, it works just like the faerie fire spell). A creature coated with the dust cannot hide. The dust’s effect lasts for 2d% minutes.

Dust of appearance is typically stored in small silk packets or hollow bone blow-tubes.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, glitterdust; Market Price: 2,100 gp; Weight: -.

Dust of Disappearance

A creature or object touched by this dust becomes invisible (as improved invisibility). Normal vision can’t see dusted creatures or objects, nor can they be detected by magical means, including see invisibility or invisibility purge. Dust of appearance, however, does reveal people and objects made invisible by dust of disappearance. Other factors, such as sound and smell, also allow possible detection.

The improved invisibility bestowed by the dust lasts for 2d10 minutes (1d10+10 if sprinkled carefully upon an object).

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, improved invisibility; Market Price: 3,500 gp; Weight: -.

Dust of Dryness

This special dust has many uses. If it is thrown into water, up to a cubic yard of the water is instantly transformed to nothingness, and the dust becomes a marble-sized pellet, floating or resting where it was thrown. If this pellet is hurled down, it breaks and releases the same volume of water. The dust affects only water (fresh, salt, alkaline), not other liquids.

If the dust is employed against a water creature, the creature must make a Fortitude save (DC 18) or be destroyed. The dust deals 5d6 points of damage to the water creature even if its saving throw succeeds.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, control water; Market Price: 850 gp; Weight: -.

Dust of Illusion

This unremarkable powder resembles chalk dust or powdered graphite. Stare at it, however, and the dust changes color and form. Put the dust of illusion on a creature, and that creature is affected as if by a change self glamer, with the individual who sprinkles the dust envisioning the illusion desired. An unwilling recipient is allowed a Reflex saving throw (DC 11) to escape the effect. The glamer lasts for 1d6+6 hours.

Caster Level: 2nd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, change self; Market Price: 500 gp; Weight: -.

Dust of Tracelessness

Tossing a pinch of this dust into the air causes a chamber of up to 1,000 square feet of floor space to become as dusty, dirty, and cobweb-laden as if it had been abandoned and disused for a decade.

A pinch of dust sprinkled along a trail causes evidence of the passage of as many as a dozen people and horses to be obliterated for a mile back into the distance. The results of the dust are instantaneous, so no magical aura lingers afterward from this use of the dust. Tracking checks across an area affected by this dust are made against a DC 20 higher than normal.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, pass without trace; Market Price: 250 gp; Weight: -.

Efficient Quiver

This appears to be a typical arrow container capable of holding about 20 arrows. Examination shows that it has three distinct portions, each with an extradimensional space allowing it to store far more than would normally be possible. The first and smallest one can contain up to 60 objects of the same general size and shape as an arrow. The second slightly longer compartment holds up to 18 objects of the same general size and shape as a javelin. The third and longest portion of the case contains as many as six objects of the same general size and shape as a bow (including spears, staffs, etc.). Once the owner has filled it, the owner can command the quiver each round to produce any stored items he or she wishes.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, secret chest; Market Price: 1,800 gp; Weight: -.

Efreeti Bottle

This item is typically fashioned of brass or bronze, with a lead stopper bearing special seals. A thin stream of smoke is often seen issuing from it. The bottle can be opened once per day. When opened, the efreeti imprisoned within issues from the bottle instantly. There is a 10% chance (a 01-10 result on d%) that the efreeti is insane and attacks immediately upon being released. There is also a 10% chance (91-100) that the efreeti of the bottle grants three wishes. In either case, the efreeti afterward disappears forever. The other 80% of the time (11-90), the inhabitant of the bottle loyally serves the character for up to 10 minutes per day (or until the efreeti’s death), doing as the character commands. Roll each day the bottle is opened for that day’s effect.

Caster Level: 14th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, summon monster VII; Market Price: 150,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Everburning Torch

This torch has a continual flame cast upon it.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisite: Continual flame (no feat needed); Market Price: 90 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Eversmoking Bottle

This metal urn is identical in appearance to an efreeti bottle, except that it does nothing but smoke. The amount of smoke is great if the stopper is pulled out, pouring from the bottle and totally obscuring vision across a spread of 50 feet in 1 round. If the bottle is left unstoppered, the smoke spreads another 10 feet per round until it has spread 100 feet. This area remains smoke-filled until the eversmoking bottle is stoppered. The bottle must be resealed by a command word, after which the smoke dissipates normally.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, pyrotechnics; Market Price: 5,200 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Eyes of Charming

These two crystal lenses fit over the user’s eyes. The wearer is able to charm person (one target per round) merely by meeting a target’s gaze. Those failing a Will saving throw (DC 16) are charmed as per the spell. If the wearer has only one lens, the DC of the saving throw is reduced to 10.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Heighten Spell, charm person; Market Price: 56,000 gp; Weight: -.

Eyes of Doom

These crystal lenses fit over the user’s eyes, enabling the user to cast doom upon those around him or her (one target per round) merely by meeting their gaze. Those failing a Will saving throw (DC 11) are doomed as per the spell. If the wearer has only one lens, the DC of the saving throw is reduced to 10. However, if the wearer has both lenses, the user gains the additional power of continual deathwatch vision and can enact an eyebite (DC 19) once per week.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, doom, deathwatch, eyebite; Market Price: 24,500 gp; Weight: -.

Eyes of the Eagle

These items are made of special crystal and fit over the eyes of the wearer. These lenses grant a +5 circumstance bonus to Spot checks. Wearing only one of the pair causes a character to become dizzy and, in effect, stunned for 1 round. Thereafter, the wearer can use the single lens without being stunned so long as the character covers his or her other eye. Of course, the wearer can remove the single lens and see normally at any time, or wear both lenses to end or avoid the dizziness.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, clairaudience/clairvoyance; Market Price: 1,000 gp; Weight: -.

Eyes of Petrification

These items are made of special crystal and fit over the eyes of the wearer. They allow the wearer to use a petrification gaze attack (DC 19), such as that of a basilisk, for 10 rounds per day. Both lenses must be worn for the magic to be effective.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, flesh to stone; Market Price: 98,000 gp; Weight: -.

Feather Token

Each of these items is a small feather that has a power to suit a special need. The types of tokens are described below. Each token is usable but once.

Figurines of Wondrous Power

Each of the several kinds of figurines of wondrous power appears to be a tiny statuette of a creature an inch or so high (with one exception). When the figurine is tossed down and the correct command word spoken, it becomes a living creature of normal size (except when noted otherwise below). The creature obeys and serves its owner.

If a figurine of wondrous power is broken or destroyed in its statuette form, it is forever ruined. All magic is lost, its power departed. If slain in animal form, the figurine simply reverts to a statuette that can be used again at a later time.

Bronze Griffon: When animated, the bronze griffon acts in all ways like a normal griffon under the command of its possessor. The item can be used twice per week for up to 6 hours per use. When 6 hours have passed or when the command word is spoken, the bronze griffon once again becomes a tiny statuette.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects; Market Price: 10,000 gp; Weight: -.

Ebony Fly:When animated, the ebony fly is the size of a pony and has all the statistics of a hippogriff (Hit Dice, AC, carrying capacity, speed, and so on) but can make no attacks. The item can be used three times per week for up to 12 hours per use. When 12 hours have passed or when the command word is spoken, the ebony fly again becomes a tiny statuette.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects; Market Price: 10,000 gp; Weight: -.

Golden Lions:These come in pairs. They become normal adult male lions. If slain in combat, the lions cannot be brought back from statuette form for one full week. Otherwise, they can be used once per day for up to 1 hour. They enlarge and shrink upon speaking the command word.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects; Market Price: 16,500 gp; Weight: -.

Ivory Goats:These come in threes. Each goat of this trio looks slightly different from the others, and each has a different function:

After three uses, each of the ivory goats loses its magical ability forever.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects; Market Price: 21,000 gp; Weight: -.

Marble ElephantThis is the largest of the figurines, the statuette being about the size of a human hand. Upon utterance of the command word, a marble elephant grows to the size and specifications of a true elephant. The animal created from the statuette is fully obedient to the figurine’s owner, serving as a beast of burden, a mount, or a combatant.

The statuette can be used four times per month for up to 24 hours at a time.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects; Market Price: 17,000 gp; Weight: -.

Obsidian Steed:An obsidian steed appears to be a small, nearly shapeless lump of black stone. Only careful inspection reveals that it vaguely resembles some form of quadruped. On command, the near-formless piece of obsidian becomes a fantastic mount. Treat it as a heavy warhorse with the following additional powers usable once per round at will: fly, plane shift, and etherealness. The steed allows itself to be ridden, but if the rider is of good alignment, the steed is 10% likely per use to carry the rider to the Lower Planes and then return to its statuette form. The statuette can be used once per week for one continuous period of up to 24 hours. Note that when the obsidian steed becomes ethereal or plane shifts, its rider and his or her gear follow suit. Thus, the user can travel to other planes via this means.

Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects, fly, plane shift, etherealness; Market Price: 28,500 gp; Weight: -.

Onyx Dog:When commanded, this statuette changes into a creature with the same properties as a war dog, except that it is endowed with an Intelligence score of 8, can communicate in Common, and has exceptional olfactory and visual abilities. (It has the scent ability and adds +4 to its Spot and Search checks.) It has darkvision (range 60 feet) and it can see invisible. An onyx dog can be used once per week for up to 6 hours. It obeys only its owner.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects; Market Price: 15,500 gp; Weight: -.

Serpentine Owl:A serpentine owl becomes either a normal-sized horned owl or a giant owl, according to the command word used. The transformation can take place once per day, with a maximum duration of 8 continuous hours. However, after three transformations into giant owl form, the statuette loses all of its magical properties. The owl communicates with its owner by telepathic means, informing its owner of all it sees and hears. (Remember the limitations of its Intelligence.)

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects; Market Price: 9,100 gp; Weight: -.

Silver Raven:This figurine turns into a raven on command (but it retains its silver consistency, which gives it a hardness of 10). Another command sends it off into the air, bearing a message just like a creature affected by an animal messenger spell. If not commanded to carry a message, the raven obeys the commands of its owner, although it has no special powers or telepathic abilities. It can maintain its nonfigurine status for only 24 hours per week, but the duration need not be continuous.

Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animal messenger; Market Price: 3,800 gp; Weight: -.

Gauntlets of Ogre Power:These gauntlets grant the wearer great strength, adding a +2 enhancement bonus to his or her Strength score. Both gauntlets must be worn for the magic to be effective.

Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, bull’s strength; Market Price: 4,000 gp; Weight: 4 lb.

Gauntlet of Rust:Once per day, this single rusted gauntlet can affect an object as with the rusting grasp spell. It also completely protects the wearer and his or her gear from rust (magical or otherwise), including the attack of a rust monster.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, rusting grasp; Market Price: 11,500 gp; Weight: 2 lb.

Gem of Brightness Upon utterance of a command word, this crystal emits bright light of one of three sorts.One command word causes the gem to shed a pale light in a cone 10 feet long. This use of the gem does not expend any charges.

Another command word causes the gem of brightness to send out a very bright ray 1 foot in diameter and 50 feet long. This strikes as a ranged touch attack, and any creature struck by this beam is blinded for 1d4 rounds unless it succeeds at a Reflex save (DC 14). This use of the gem expends 1 charge.

The third command word causes the gem to flare in a blinding flash of light in a cone 30 feet long Although this glare lasts but a moment, all creatures within its area must make a Reflex save (DC 14) or be blinded for 1d4 rounds and thereafter suffer a penalty of -1 to attack rolls, Spot checks, and Search checks due to permanent eye damage. This use expends 5 charges.

Eye damage can be cured by a remove blindness or a heal spell. A newly created gem of brightness has 50 charges. When all its charges are expended, the gem becomes nonmagical.

Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, daylight, blindness/deafness; Market Price: 15,200 gp; Weight: -.

Gem of Seeing

This finely cut and polished stone is indistinguishable from an ordinary jewel in appearance. When gazed through, the gem of seeing enables the user to see as though she were affected by a true seeing spell.

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, true seeing; Market Price: 75,000 gp; Weight: -.

Gloves of Arrow Snaring

Once snugly worn, these gloves seem to meld with the hands, becoming almost invisible. (They are undetectable unless the viewer is within 5 feet of the wearer.) The wearer can act as if he or she had the Deflect Arrows feat, except that the wearer catches the thrown weapons and projectiles instead of deflecting them. Both gloves must be worn for the magic to be effective. At least one hand must be free to take advantage of the magic.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, shield; Market Price: 4,000 gp; Weight: -.

Gloves of Dexterity

These gloves add to the wearer’s Dexterity score in the form of an enhancement bonus of +2, +4, or +6. Both gloves must be worn for the magic to be effective.

Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, cat’s grace; Market Price: 4,000 gp (+2), 16,000 gp (+4), or 36,000 gp (+6); Weight: -.

Glove of Storing

On command, one item held in the hand wearing the glove disappears. The item can weigh no more than 20 pounds and must be able to be held in one hand. While stored the item has negligible weight.  With a snap of the fingers wearing the glove, the item reappears. A glove can only store one item at a time. Storing or retrieving an item is a free action.  The item is held in stasis and shrunk down so small within the palm of the glove that it cannot be seen.  If the effect is suppressed or dispelled, the stored item appears instantly. The creation process yields only one glove.

Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, shrink item; Market Price: 2,200 gp; Weight: -.

Gloves of Swimming and Climbing

These apparently normal lightweight gloves grant a +10 competence bonus to Swim and Climb checks. Both gloves must be worn for the magic to be effective.

Goggles of Minute Seeing

When placed over the eyes of the wearer, they enable the wearer to see much better than normal at distances of 1 foot or less, granting him or her a +5 bonus to Search checks to locate or identify features such as tiny seams, marks, cracks, or imperfections. Both lenses must be worn for the magic to be effective.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, true seeing; Market Price: 1,000 gp; Weight: -.

Goggles of Night

The lenses of this item are made of dark crystal. Even though the lenses are opaque, when placed over the eyes of the wearer they enable the wearer to see normally and also grant him or her darkvision (range 60 feet). Both lenses must be worn for the magic to be effective.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, darkvision; Market Price: 8,000 gp; Weight: -.

Hand of Glory

This mummified human hand hangs by a leather cord around a character’s neck (taking up space as a magic necklace would). If a magic ring is placed on one of the fingers of the hand, the wearer benefits from the ring as if wearing it him or herself, and it does not count against the wearer’s two-ring limit. The hand can wear only one ring at a time.

Even without a ring, the hand itself allows its wearer to use daylight and see invisibility each once per day.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, daylight, detect invisibility, animate dead; Market Price: 7,200 gp; Weight: 2 lb.

Hand of the Mage

This mummified elven hand hangs by a golden chain around a character’s neck (taking up space as a magic necklace would). It allows the wearer to utilize the spell mage hand at will.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, mage hand; Market Price: 1,000 gp; Weight: 2 lb.

Handy Haversack

A backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary.  It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material equal to as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds.

While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power in addition. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a free action. The handy haversack and whatever it contains gain a +2 resistance bonus to all saving throws.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, secret chest; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: 5 lb.

Harp of Charming

When played, this harp enables the performer to cast one suggestion (Will negates DC 14) for each 10 minutes of playing if he can succeed at a Perform check (DC 15). On a die roll of a natural 1, the harpist has played so poorly that he or she enrages all those within earshot.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, suggestion; Market Price: 7,500 gp; Weight: 5 lb.

Hat of Disguise

This apparently nor­mal hat allows its wearer to alter her ap­pear­ance as with a change self spell. As part of the disguise, the hat can be changed to appear as an alternate type of headgear.

Caster Level: 2nd; Prerequisites: Craft Won­drous Item, change self; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: -.

Headband of Intellect

This headband adds to the wearer’s Intelligence score in the form of an enhancement bonus of +2, +4, or +6.

Helm of Brilliance

This normal-looking helm takes its true form and manifests its powers when the user dons it and speaks the command word. Made of brilliant silver and polished steel, a newly created helm is set with ten diamonds, twenty rubies, thirty fire opals, and forty opals, each of large size and enchanted.

The jewels’ functions are as follows:

The helm may be used once per round, but each gem can perform its spell-like power just once. Until all of its jewels are depleted, a helm of brilliance also has the following magical properties when activated:

It emanates a bluish light when undead are within 30 feet. This light causes pain and 1d6 points of damage per round to all such creatures within that range.

The wearer may command any weapon he or she wields to become a flaming weapon (see above). This is in addition to whatever abilities the weapon may already have (unless the weapon already is a flaming weapon). The command takes 1 round to take effect.

Each round, the helm absorbs the first 30 points of fire damage the wearer would otherwise take. This protection does not stack with similar protection from other sources.

Once all of its jewels have lost their magic, the helm loses all its powers and the gems turn to worthless powder. Removing a jewel destroys it.

If a creature wearing the helm is damaged by magic fire (after the fire protection is taken into account) and fails an additional Will saving throw (DC 15), the remaining gems on the helm overload and detonate.

Caster Level: 13th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, light, fireball, prismatic spray, wall of fire, flame blade, detect undead, protection from elements; Market Price: 157,000 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Helm of Comprehending Languages and Reading Magic

Caster Level: 4th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, comprehend languages, read magic; Market Price: 2,600 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Helm of Telepathy

The wearer can use detect thoughts at will. Furthermore, he or she can send a telepathic message to anyone whose surface thoughts he or she is reading (allowing two-way communication). Once per day, the wearer of the helm can implant a suggestion (as the spell, Will negates, DC 14) along with his or her telepathic message.

Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, detect thoughts, suggestion; Market Price: 31,000 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Helm of Teleportation

Any character wearing this device may teleport three times per day, exactly as if the character had cast the spell of the same name.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, teleport; Market Price: 48,600 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Helm of Underwater Action

The wearer of this helmet can see underwater. Drawing the small lenses in compartments on either side into position before the wearer’s eyes activates the visual properties of the helm, allowing him or her to see five times farther than water and light conditions would allow for normal human vision.  If the command word is spoken, the helm of underwater action creates a globe of air around the wearer’s head and maintains it until the command word is spoken again, enabling the wearer to breathe freely.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, freedom of movement, water breathing; Market Price: 24,000 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Horn of Blasting

This horn can be sounded as a normal horn, but if the command word is spoken and the instrument is then played, it has the following effects, both of which happen at once:

If a horn of blasting is used magically more than once in a given day, there is a 10% cumulative chance with each extra use that it explodes and deals 5d10 points of damage to the person sounding it.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, shout; Market Price: 12,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Horn of Fog

This small bugle allows its possessor to blow forth a thick cloud of heavy fog similar to that of an obscuring mist spell. The fog spreads 10 feet each round that the user continues to blow the horn. The device makes a deep, foghornlike noise, with the note dropping abruptly to a lower register at the end of each blast.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, obscuring mist; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Horn of Goodness/Evil

This trumpet adapts itself to its owner, so it produces either a good or an evil effect depending on the owner’s alignment. If the owner is neither good nor evil, the horn has no power whatsoever. If the owner is good, then blowing the horn has the effect of a magic circle against evil. If the owner is evil, then blowing the horn has the effect of a magic circle against good. In either case, this ward lasts for 10 rounds. The horn can be blown once per day.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, magic circle against good or magic circle against evil; Market Price: 6,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Horn of the Tritons

This device is a conch shell that can be blown once per day (except by a triton, who can sound it three times per day). A horn of the tritons can do any one of the following functions when blown:

Any sounding of a horn of the tritons can be heard by all tritons within a three-mile radius.

Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fear, summon monster V, water control, creator must be a triton or get construction aid from a triton; Market Price: 15,100 gp; Weight: 2 lb.

Horn of Valhalla

This magic instrument comes in four varieties. Each appears to be normal until someone speaks its command word and blows the horn. Then the horn summons a number of human barbarians to fight for the character who summoned them. Each horn can be blown just once every seven days. Roll d% to see what type of horn is found. The horn’s type determines what barbarians are summoned and what prerequisite is needed to use the horn. Any character who uses a horn of Valhalla but doesn’t have the prerequisite is attacked by the barbarians the character just summoned.

Summoned barbarians are magic constructs, not actual people (though they seem to be), and they arrive with the starting equipment for barbarians found in the Player’s Handbook. They gladly attack anyone the possessor of the horn commands them to fight until they or their opponents are slain or until 1 hour has elapsed, whichever comes first.

Caster Level: 13th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, summon monster VI; Market Price: 50,000 gp; Weight: 2 lb.

Horseshoes of Speed

These iron shoes come in sets of four like ordinary horseshoes. When affixed to a horse’s hooves, they double the animal’s speed. All four shoes must be worn by the same animal for the magic to be effective.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, haste; Market Price: 1,900 gp; Weight: 3 lb. each.

Horseshoes of a Zephyr

These four iron shoes are affixed like normal horseshoes. They allow a horse to travel without actually touching the ground. The horse must still run above (always around 4 inches above) a roughly horizontal surface. This means that nonsolid or unstable surfaces, such as water or lava, can be crossed, and that movement is possible without leaving tracks on any sort of ground. The horse moves at normal speed. All four shoes must be worn by the same animal for the magic to be effective.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, levitate; Market Price: 3,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb. each.

Incense of Meditation

When it is burning, the special fragrance and pearly-hued smoke of this special incense are recognizable by anyone making a Spellcraft check (DC 15).

When a divine spellcaster lights a block of incense of meditation and then spends 8 hours praying and meditating nearby, the incense enables him to prepare all of his spells as though affected by the Maximize Spell metamagic feat. However, all the spells prepared in this way are at their normal level, not at three levels higher (as with the regular metamagic feat).

Each block of incense burns for 8 hours, and the effects remain for 24 hours.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Maximize Spell, bless; Market Price: 4,900 gp; Weight: 1 lb. each.

Instant Fortress

This metal cube is small, but when activated it grows to form a tower 20 feet square and 30 feet high, with arrow slits on all sides and a crenellated battlement atop it. The metal walls extend 10 feet into the ground, rooting it to the spot and preventing it from being tipped over. The fortress has a small door that opens only at the command of the owner of the fortress-even knock spells can’t open the door.

The adamantine walls of the instant fortress have 100 hit points and a hardness of 20. The fortress cannot be repaired except by a wish or a miracle, which restores 50 points of damage sustained.

The fortress springs up in just 1 round, with the door facing the device’s owner. The door opens and closes instantly at the owner’s command. People and creatures nearby (except the owner) must be careful not to be caught by the fortress’s sudden growth. Anyone so caught sustains 10d10 points of damage (Reflex half DC 19).

Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, magnificent mansion; Market Price: 55,000 gp; Weight: -.

Ioun Stones

These stones always float in the air and must be within 3 feet of their owner to be of any use. When a character first acquires a stone, the character must hold it and then release it, whereupon it takes up a circling orbit 1d3 feet from the character’s head. Thereafter, a stone must be grasped or netted to separate it from its owner. The owner may voluntarily seize and stow a stone to keep it safe, but the character loses the benefits of the stone during that time. Ioun stones have an AC of 24, 10 hit points, and a hardness of 5.

Regeneration from the pearly white Ioun stone only cures damage taken while the character is using the stone. The pale lavender and lavender and green stones work like a rod of absorption, but absorbing a spell requires a readied action, and these stones cannot be used to empower spells. Stored spells in the vibrant purple stone must be placed by a spellcaster but can be used by anyone (see ring of spell storing).

Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, creator must be 12th level; Weight: -.

Iron Bands of Binding

When the proper command word is spoken and this banded, spherical iron device is hurled at an opponent, the bands expand and tightly constrict the target creature on a successful ranged touch attack. A single creature of Large size or smaller can be captured thus and held immobile until the command word is spoken to bring the bands into globular form again. The creature can break (and ruin) the bands with a successful Strength check (DC 30) or escape them with a successful Escape Artist check (also DC 30).

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, grasping hand; Market Price: 26,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Iron Flask

When the user speaks the command word, he can force any creature from another plane into the container, provided that creature fails a Will saving throw (DC 19). The range of this effect is 60 feet. Only one creature at a time can be so contained. Loosing the stopper frees the captured creature.

If the individual freeing the captured creature speaks the command word, the creature can be forced to serve for 1 hour. If freed without the command word, the creature acts according to its natural inclinations. (It usually attacks the user, unless it perceives a good reason not to.) Any attempt to force the same creature into the flask a second time allows it a +2 bonus on its saving throw and makes it very angry and totally hostile. A newly discovered bottle might contain any of the following:

Caster Level: 20th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, trap the soul; Market Price: 170,000 gp (empty); Weight: 1 lb.

Lantern of Revealing

This lantern operates as a normal hooded lantern. While it is lit, it also reveals all invisible creatures and objects within 25 feet of it, just like the spell invisibility purge.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, invisibility purge; Market Price: 30,000 gp; Weight: 2 lb.

Lens of Detection

This circular prism enables its user to detect minute details, granting a +10 bonus to Search checks. It also aids in following tracks, adding a +10 bonus to Wilderness Lore checks when tracking. The lens is about 6 inches in diameter and set in a frame with a handle.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, true see­ing; Market Price: 3,500 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Lyre of Building

If the proper chords are struck, a single use of this lyre negates any attacks made against all inanimate construction (walls, roof, floor, and so on) within 300 feet. This includes the effects of a horn of blasting, a disintegrate spell, or an attack from a ram or similar siege weapon. The lyre can be used in this way once per day, with the protection lasting for 30 minutes.

The lyre is also useful with respect to building. Once a week its strings can be strummed so as to produce chords that magically construct buildings, mines, tunnels, ditches, or whatever. The effect produced in but 30 minutes of playing is equal to the work of 100 humans laboring for three days. Each hour after the first, a character playing the lyre must make a Perform check (DC 18). If it fails, she must stop and cannot play it again for this purpose until a week has passed.

Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fabricate; Market Price: 13,000 gp; Weight: 5 lb.

If anyone reads this book, which takes a total of 48 hours over a minimum of six days, he or she gains an inherent bonus of from +1 to +5 (depending on the type of manual) to his or her Constitution score. Once the book is read, the magic disappears from the pages and it be­comes a normal book.

Marvelous Pigments

These magic emulsions enable their possessor to create actual, permanent objects simply by depicting their form in two dimensions. The pigments are applied by a stick tipped with bristles, hair, or fur. The emulsion flows from the application to form the desired object as the artist concentrates on the desired image. One pot of marvelous pigments is sufficient to create a 1,000-cubic-foot object by depicting it two-dimensionally over a 100-square-foot surface.  Only normal, inanimate objects can be created. Creatures can’t be created. The pigments must be applied to a surface. It takes 10 minutes to depict an object with the pigments. Marvelous pigments cannot create magic items. Objects of value depicted by the pigments appear to be valuable but are really made of inexpensive materials. The user can create normal weapons, armor, and other mundane items whose value does not exceed 2,000 gp.

Items created are not magical; the effect is instantaneous.

Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, major creation; Market Price: 5,500 gp; Weight: -.

Mask of the Skull

This ivory mask has been fashioned into the likeness of a human skull. Once per day, after it has been worn for at least 1 hour, the mask can be loosed to fly from the wearer’s face. It travels up to 50 feet away from the wearer and attacks a target assigned to it. The grinning skull mask makes a touch attack against the target. If it succeeds, the target must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 20) or be struck dead, as if affected by a finger of death spell. If the target succeeds at his or her saving throw, the target nevertheless takes 3d6+13 points of damage. After attacking (whether successful or not), the mask flies back to its user.

Caster Level: 13th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, finger of death, animate objects, fly; Market Price: 25,000 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Mattock of the Titans

This digging tool is 10 feet long. Any creature of at least Huge size can use it to loosen or tumble earth or earthen ramparts (a 10-foot cube every 10 minutes). It also smashes rock (a 10-foot cube per hour). If used as a weapon, it is the equivalent of a +3 Gargantuan morningstar, dealing 4d6 points of base damage.

Caster Level: 16th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, dig; Market Price: 23,000 gp; Weight: 120 lb.

Maul of the Titans

This mallet is 8 feet long. If used as a weapon, it is the equivalent of a +3 greatclub and deals triple damage against inanimate objects. However, the wielder must have a Strength score of at least 18 to wield it properly. Otherwise, the weilder suffers a -4 attack penalty.

Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, clenched fist; Market Price: 25,000 gp; Weight: 160 lb.

Medallion of Thoughts

This medallion allows the wearer to read the thoughts of others, as with the spell detect thoughts.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, detect thoughts; Market Price: 12,000 gp; Weight: -.

Mirror of Life Trapping

This crystal device is usually about 4 feet square and framed in metal or wood. It can be affixed to a surface and activated by giving a command word. The same command word deactivates the mirror. A mirror of life trapping has from thirteen to eighteen nonspatial extradimensional compartments within it. Any creature coming within 30 feet of the device and looking at its reflection must make a Will save (DC 19) or be trapped within the mirror in one of the cells. A creature not aware of the nature of the device always sees its reflection. The probability of a creature seeing its reflection, and thus needing to make the saving throw, drops to 50% if the creature is aware that the mirror traps life and seeks to avoid looking at it.

When a creature is trapped, it is taken bodily into the mirror. Size is not a factor, but constructs and undead are not trapped, nor are inanimate objects and other nonliving matter. A victim’s equipment (including clothing and anything being carried) remains behind. If the mirror’s owner knows the right command word, the owner can call the reflection of any creature trapped within to its surface and engage the powerless prisoner in conversation. Another command word frees the trapped creature. Each pair of command words is specific to each prisoner.

If the mirror’s capacity is exceeded, one victim (determined randomly) is set free in order to accommodate the latest one. If the mirror is broken, all victims currently trapped in it are freed and usually promptly attack the possessor of the device in revenge for their imprisonment.

Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, imprisonment; Market Price: 152,000 gp; Weight: 50 lb.

Mirror of Mental Prowess

This mirror resembles an ordinary looking glass 5 feet tall by 2 feet wide. The possessor who knows the proper commands can cause it to perform as follows:

Caster Level: 18th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, detect thoughts, scrying, clairaudience/clairvoyance, gate, commune; Market Price: 175,000 gp; Weight: 40 lb.

Mirror of Opposition

This item resembles a normal mirror about 4 feet long and 3 feet wide. It can be affixed to a surface and activated by speaking a command word. The same command word deactivates the mirror. If a creature sees its reflection in the mirror’s surface, an exact duplicate of that creature comes into being. This opposite immediately attacks the original. The duplicate has all the possessions and powers of its original (including magic). Upon the defeat or destruction of either the duplicate or the original, the duplicate and its items disappear completely. The mirror functions up to four times per day.

Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, clone; Market Price: 92,000 gp; Weight: 45 lb.

Necklace of Adaptation

The magic of the necklace wraps the wearer in a shell of fresh air, making the user immune to all gases and allowing him or her to breathe, even underwater or in a vacuum.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, water breathing; Market Price: 19,000 gp; Weight: -.

Necklace of Fireballs

This device is a golden chain from which hang a number of golden spheres. The spheres are detachable by the wearer (and only by the wearer), who can easily hurl them up to a 70-foot distance. When a sphere arrives at the end of its trajectory, it bursts as a magic fireball (DC 14). The number of spheres on each type of necklace, and their respective Hit Dice of fireball damage, are as follows:

The more dice of damage a sphere deals, the bigger it is. If the necklace is being worn or carried by a character who fails a saving throw against a magic fire attack, the item must make a saving throw as well (with a bonus of +7). If the necklace fails to save, all of its remaining spheres detonate simultaneously.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fireball; Weight: 2 lb.

Necklace of Prayer Beads

The necklace of prayer beads consists of 1d6+24 semiprecious stones (total value 1,000 gp) along with one special bead:

Each special bead can be used once per day, except for the bead of summons. If the wearer uses that bead to summon his or her deity frivolously, the deity takes the character’s items and places a geas upon the character as punishment at the very least. The power of a special bead is lost if it is removed from the necklace. Sometimes necklaces are found with multiple special beads.

Caster Level: 17th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, gate, wind walk, and one of the following spells: bless, cure blindness, cure disease, cure serious wounds, holy smite, chaos hammer, order’s wrath, or unholy blight (whichever is appropriate); Market Price: 500 gp (bead of blessing), 5,000 gp (bead of karma), 10,000 gp (bead of healing), 15,000 gp (bead of smiting), 30,000 gp (bead of wind walking), or 50,000 gp (bead of summons), plus 1,000 gp for the nonmagical beads for each necklace; Weight: -.

Once per day the user can call upon the orb to access a control weather spell, Once per month, the user can bring upon a storm of vengeance. The owner of the orb gains a +2 luck bonus to all saves and checks concerning the weather (including surviving in great heat or cold, but not including walking through fire, cones of cold, and other such conditions).

Caster Level: 18th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, control weather, storm of vengeance; Market Price: 38,000 gp; Weight: 6 lb.

Pearl of Power

Once per day on command, a pearl of power enables the possessor to recall any one spell that he or she had prepared and then cast (this item is useless to spellcasters who do not prepare spells). The spell is then prepared again, just as if it hadn’t been cast. The spell must be of a particular level, depending on the pearl. Different pearls exist for recalling one spell per day of each level from 1st through 9th and for the recall of two spells per day (each of a different level, up to 6th).

Caster Level: 17th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, creator must be able to cast spells of the spell level to be recalled; Market Price: 1,000 gp (1st), 4,000 gp (2nd), 9,000 gp (3rd), 16,000 gp (4th), 25,000 gp (5th), 36,000 gp (6th), 49,000 gp (7th), 64,000 gp (8th), 81,000 gp (9th), or 70,000 gp (two spells); Weight: -.

Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, water breath­ing, freedom of movement; Market Price: 15,300 gp; Weight: -.

Periapt of Wound Closure

The wearer of this item does not lose hit points when brought to negative hit points. The periapt doubles the normal rate of healing or allows normal healing of wounds that would not do so normally. Bleeding damage, such as that from a weapon of wounding, is negated, but the periapt doesn’t prevent active blood drain.

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, heal; Market Price: 15,000 gp; Weight: -.

Phylactery of Faithfulness

This item is a small box containing holy scripture affixed to a leather cord. There is no mundane way to determine what function this religious item performs until it is worn. The wearer of a phylactery of faithfulness is aware of any action or item that could adversely affect his or her alignment and standing with his or her deity, including magical effects. The wearer acquires this information prior to performing the action or becoming associated with such an item if he or she takes a moment to contemplate the action.

Caster Level: 1st; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item plus either detect evil, detect good, detect chaos, or detect law; Market Price: 1,000 gp; Weight: -.

Pipes of Haunting

This magic item appears to be a small set of pan pipes. When played by a person who has the Perform (pan pipes) skill, the pipes create an eerie, spellbinding tune. A listener thinks the source of the music is somewhere within 30 feet of the musician. Those hearing the tune but not aware of the piper must make a Will saving throw (DC 13). Those who fail become shaken for 10 minutes.

Caster Level: 4th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, scare; Market Price: 6,500 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Pipes of Pain

When played by a person who has the Perform (pan pipes) skill, the pipes create a wondrous melody. All within 30 feet, including the piper, must make a Will save (DC 14) or be enchanted by the sound. (This is a mind-affecting sonic enchantment.) So long as the pipes are played, none of the creatures so enchanted attack or attempt any action (as if they are dazed). If the piper is enchanted, however, he or she plays on for 1d10 rounds.

As soon as the piping stops, all those affected are stricken by intense pain at even the slightest noise. Unless a character is in a totally silent area, he or she takes 1d4 points of damage per round for 2d4 rounds. During this time, damage from sonic attacks, such as sound burst, is doubled. Thereafter, the least noise causes an affected character to wince, giving the character a -2 penalty to attack rolls, skill checks, and saving throws (except when  in a totally silent area). This hypersensitivity is a curse and can be removed by any spell or item that remove curses.

Caster Level: 6th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, charm person, sound burst; Market Price: 12,000 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Pipes of the Sewers

These wooden pipes appear ordinary, but if the possessor learns the proper tune, he or she can attract 1d6x10 dire rats (01-80 result on d%) or 3d6x10 normal rats (81-100) if either or both are within 400 feet. For each 50-foot distance the rats have to travel, there is a 1-round delay. The piper must continue playing until the rats appear, and when they do so, the piper must make a Perform (pan pipes) check (DC 10). Success means that they obey the piper’s telepathic commands so long as the piper continues to play. Failure indicates that they turn on the piper. If for any reason the piper ceases playing, the rats leave immediately. If they are called again within a day, the Perform check is against DC 15

.

If the rats are under the control of another creature, add the HD of the controller to the Perform check DC. Once control is assumed, another check is required each round to maintain it if the other creature is actively seeking to reassert its control.

Caster Level: 2nd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, summon nature’s ally I, animal friendship; Market Price: 1,150 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Pipes of Sounding

When played by a character who has the Perform (pan pipes) skill, these pipes create a variety of sounds. The figment sounds are the equivalent of ghost sound (caster level 2).

Caster Level: 2nd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, ghost sound; Market Price: 1,800 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Portable Hole

A portable hole is a circle of magic cloth. When opened fully, a portable hole is 6 feet in diameter, but it can be folded up to be as small as a pocket handkerchief. When spread upon any surface, it causes an extradimensional space 10 feet deep to come into being. This hole can be picked up from inside or out by simply taking hold of the edges of the cloth and folding it up. Either way, the entrance disappears, but anything inside the hole remains.

The only air in the hole is that which enters when the hole is opened. It contains enough air to supply one Medium-size creature or two Small creatures for 10 minutes. The cloth does not accumulate weight even if its hole is filled. Each portable hole opens on its own particular nondimensional space. If a bag of holding is placed within a portable hole, a rift to the Astral Plane is torn in that place. Both the bag and the cloth are sucked into the void and forever lost. If a portable hole is placed within a bag of holding, it opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The hole, the bag, and any creatures within a 10-foot radius are drawn there, the portable hole and bag of holding being destroyed in the process.

Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, plane shift; Market Price: 14,000 gp; Weight: -.

Restorative Ointment

A jar of this unguent contains five applications. Placed upon a poisoned wound or swallowed, the ointment detoxifies any poison (as neutralize poison). Applied to a diseased area, it removes disease (as remove disease). Rubbed on a wound, the ointment cures 1d8+5 points of damage (as cure light wounds).

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, cure light wounds, neutralize poison, remove disease; Market Price: 4,000 gp; Weight: 1/2 lb.

Ring Gates

These always come in pairs-two iron rings, each about 14 inches in diameter. The rings must be within 100 miles of each other to function. Whatever is put through one ring comes out the other, and up to 100 pounds of material can be transferred each day. (Objects only partially pushed through do not count.)

This useful device allows for instantaneous transport of items, messages, and even attacks. A character can reach through to grab things near the other ring, or even stab a weapon through if so desired.

Alternatively, a character could stick his or her head through to look around. A spellcaster could even cast a spell through a ring gate. A Small character can make an Escape Artist check (DC 13) to slip through. Creatures of Tiny, Diminutive, or Fine size can pass through easily. Each ring has an “entry side” and an “exit side,” both marked with appropriate symbols.

Caster Level: 17th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, gate; Market Price: 40,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb. each.

Robe of the Archmagi

This normal-appearing garment can be white (a 01-45 result on d%, good alignment), gray (46-75, neither good nor evil alignment), or black (76-100, evil alignment). Its wearer, if an arcane spellcaster, gains the following powers:

If a white robe is donned by an evil character, the character immediately gains three negative levels. The reverse is true with respect to a black robe donned by a good character. An evil or good character who puts on a gray robe, or a neutral character who dons either a white or black robe, gains two negative levels. While negative levels never result in lost levels, they remain as long as the garment is worn and cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells).

Caster Level: 14th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, mage armor, bless, spell resistance, creator must be same alignment as robe; Market Price: 75,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Robe of Blending

When this robe is put on, the wearer intuitively knows that the garment has very special properties. A robe of blending enables its wearer to appear to be part of the surroundings. This allows the wearer to add a +15 circumstance bonus to his or her Hide check. Further, the wearer can adopt the appearance of another creature as in the spell change self at will. All creatures acquainted with and friendly to the wearer see him or her normally.

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, change self; Market Price: 10,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Robe of Eyes

The wearer of this robe is able to see in all directions at the same moment due to scores of visible, magical eyelike patterns that adorn the robe. The wearer also gains darkvision (range 120 feet). The robe of eyes sees all forms of invisible or ethereal things within 120 feet.

The robe of eyes grants its wearer a +15 circumstance bonus to Search and Spot checks. The wearer retains his or her Dexterity bonus to AC even when flat-footed and can’t be flanked. The wearer can’t avert his or her eyes from or close his or her eyes to a creature with a gaze attack.

A light or continual flame spell thrown directly on a robe of eyes blinds it for 1d3 minutes. A daylight spell blinds it for 2d4 minutes.

Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, true seeing; Market Price: 90,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Robe of Scintillating Colors

The wearer can cause the garment to become a shifting pattern of incredible hues of dazzling light. The colors daze those near the wearer, conceal the wearer, and illuminate the surroundings. It takes 1 full round after the wearer speaks the command word for the colors to start flowing on the robe.

The colors create the equivalent of a gaze attack with a 30-foot range. Those who look at the wearer are dazed for 1d4+1 rounds (Will negates DC 14). This is a mind-affecting pattern.

Every round of continuous scintillation of the robe gives the wearer better concealment. Miss chances start at 10% (one-quarter concealment) and increase another 10% each round until they reach 50% (full concealment).

The robe illuminates a 30-foot radius.

The effect can last no longer than a total of 10 rounds per day.

Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, hypnosis, color spray; Market Price: 27,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Robe of Stars

The robe has three magical powers.

Caster Level: 17th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, astral projection or plane shift, magic missile; Market Price: 58,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Robe of Useful Items

This appears to be an unremarkable robe, but a character who dons it notes that it is adorned with small cloth patches of various shapes. Only the wearer of the robe can see these patches, recognize them for what items they become, and detach them. One patch can be detached each round. Detaching a patch causes it to become an actual item, as indicated below. A newly created robe of useful items always has two each of the following patches:

In addition, the robe has 4d4 other items:

Multiple items of the same kind are permissible. Once removed, items cannot be replaced.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fabricate; Market Price: 7,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Rope of Climbing

A 60-foot-long rope of climbing is strong enough to support 3,000 pounds. Upon command, the rope snakes forward, upward, downward, or in any other direction at 10 feet per round, attaching itself securely wherever its owner desires. It can unfasten itself and return in the same manner.

A rope of climbing can be commanded to knot or unknot itself. This causes large knots to appear at 1-foot intervals along the rope. Knotting shortens the rope to a 50-foot length until the knots are untied but lowers the DC of Climb checks while using it by 10. A creature must hold one end of the rope when its magic is invoked.

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate rope; Market Price: 3,000 gp; Weight: 3 lb.

Rope of Entanglement

Upon command, the rope lashes forward 20 feet or upward 10 feet to entangle a victim, using a grapple attack with a +15 attack bonus (including +4 for being Large and +6 for its Strength score of 22).

The rope cannot be broken by sheer strength. It must be severed by an edged weapon. The rope has an AC of 22, 12 hit points, and a hardness of 10. Damage repairs itself at a rate of 1 point per 5 minutes, but if a rope of entanglement is severed (all 12 hit points lost to damage), it is destroyed.

Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, entangle, animate rope, animate objects; Market Price: 21,000 gp; Weight: 5 lb.

Scabbard of Keen Edges

This scabbard can shrink or enlarge to accommodate any knife, dagger, sword, or similar weapon up to and including a greatsword. Up to three times per day on command, the scabbard casts keen edge on any blade placed within it.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, keen edge; Market Price: 15,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Scarab of Protection

This device appears to be a silver medallion in the shape of a beetle. It gives off a faint magical aura. If it is held for 1 round, an inscription appears on its surface letting the holder know that it is a protective device.

The scarab’s possessor gains spell resistance 15. The scarab can also absorb up to twelve energy-draining attacks or death effects. (An attack that would bestow two negative levels counts as two attacks.) However, upon absorbing twelve such attacks, the scarab turns to powder and is destroyed.

Caster Level: 18th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, bless, death ward, negative energy protection, and wish or miracle; Market Price: 38,000 gp; Weight: -.

Scarab, Golembane

This beetle-shaped pin enables its wearer to detect any golem within 60 feet, although the wearer must concentrate in order for the detection to take place. Furthermore, the scarab enables its possessor to combat a golem with weapons or unarmed attacks as if the golem had no damage reduction. Each scarab has this effect with regard to a different sort of golem.

Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, detect magic, and keen edge or holy power; Market Price: 800 gp (flesh), 1,000 gp (clay), 1,200 gp (stone), 1,600 gp (iron), 1,800 gp (flesh and clay), or 2,500 gp (any golem); Weight: -.

Slippers of Spider Climbing

When worn, a pair of these slippers enable movement on vertical surfaces or even upside down along ceilings, leaving the wearer’s hands free. The wearer’s speed is 15 feet. Extremely slippery surfaces-icy, oiled, or greased surfaces-make these slippers useless.

Caster Level: 4th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, spider climb; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: 1/2 lb.

Sovereign Glue

Because of its particular powers, this viscous substance can be contained only in a flask whose inside has been coated with 1 ounce of oil of slipperiness, and each time any of the bonding agent is poured from the flask, a new application of the oil of slipperiness must be put in the flask within 1 round to prevent the remaining glue from adhering to the side of the container. A flask of sovereign glue, when found, holds anywhere from 1 to 7 ounces of the stuff (1d8-1, minimum 1), with the other ounce of the flask’s capacity taken up by the oil of slipperiness.

One ounce of this adhesive covers 1 square foot of surface, bonding virtually any two substances together in a permanent union. The glue takes 1 round to set. If the objects are pulled apart before that time has elapsed, that application of the glue loses its stickiness and is worthless. If the glue is allowed to set, then attempting to separate the two bonded objects only results in the rending of one or the other, except when universal solvent is applied to the bond. (Sovereign glue is dissolved by universal solvent.)

Caster Level: 20th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, make whole; Market Price: 2,400 gp (per ounce); Weight: -.

Stone of Alarm

This stone cube, when given the command word, affixes itself to any object. If that object is touched thereafter by anyone who does not first speak that same command word, the stone emits a piercing screech for 1 hour that can be heard up to a quarter-mile away (assuming no intervening barriers).

Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, alarm; Market Price: 1,000 gp; Weight: 2 lb.

Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals

The possessor of such a stone need but utter a few words of summoning, and a Huge earth elemental comes to the summoner if earth, mud, or clay is available. The summoning words require 1 full round to speak, and in all ways the stone functions as the summon monster VII spell. (If sand or rough, unhewn stone is the summoning medium, the elemental that comes is Large instead, and the stone functions as the summon monster VI spell.) The area of summoning for an earth elemental must be at least 4 feet square and have a volume of 4 cubic yards. The elemental appears in 1d4 rounds. Only one elemental can be summoned at a time. A new elemental requires a new patch of earth or stone, which cannot be accessed until after the first elemental disappears (is dispelled, dismissed, or slain).

Caster Level: 13th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, summon monster VI, summon monster VII; Market Price: 100,000 gp; Weight: 5 lb.

Stone of Good Luck (Luckstone)

The  possessor of this stone gains a +1 luck bonus on saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, divine favor; Market Price: 10,000 gp; Weight: -.

Stone Horse

Each item of this nature appears to be a full-sized, roughly hewn statue of a horse, carved from some type of hard stone. A command word brings the steed to life, enabling it to carry a burden and even to attack as if it were a real horse of the appropriate type.

A stone horse can carry 1,000 pounds tirelessly and never needs to rest or feed. Damage dealt to it can be repaired by first using a stone to flesh spell, thus causing the stone horse to become a normal horse that can be healed normally. When fully healed, it automatically reverts to its stone form. While in its stone form, it can be fed gemstones, healing 1 point of damage for each 50 gp worth of mineral it is given.

There are two sorts of stone horses:

Caster Level: 14th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, flesh to stone, animate objects; Market Price: 10,000 gp (courser) or 14,800 gp (destrier); Weight: 6,000 lb.

Stone Salve

This strange ointment has two uses. If an ounce of it is applied to the flesh of a petrified creature, it returns the creature to flesh (as the spell stone to flesh). If an ounce of it is applied to the flesh of a nonpetrified creature, it protects the creature as a stoneskin spell.

Caster Level: 13th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, flesh to stone, stoneskin; Market Price: 4,000 gp per ounce; Weight: -.

Sustaining Spoon

If this ordinary looking spoon is placed in an empty con­tainer the vessel fills with a thick, pasty gruel. Although this substance has a flavor similar to that of warm, wet cardboard, it is highly nourishing and contains everything necessary to sustain any herbivorous, omnivorous, or carnivorous creature. The spoon can produce sufficient gruel each day to feed up to four humans.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, create food and water; Market Price: 5,500 gp; Weight: -.

Talisman of the Sphere

This small adamantine loop and handle are useless to those unable to cast arcane spells. Characters who cannot cast arcane spells take 5d6 points of damage merely from picking up and holding a talisman of this sort. However, when held by an arcane spellcaster who is concentrating on control of a sphere of annihilation, a talisman of the sphere doubles the bonus for Intelligence and level for determining control.

If the wielder of a talisman establishes control, the weilder need check for continual control only every other round thereafter. If control is not established, the sphere moves toward the weilder. Note that while many spells and effects of cancellation have no effect upon a sphere of annihilation, the talisman’s power of control can be suppressed or canceled.

Caster Level: 16th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, telekinesis; Market Price: 9,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

Tome of Clear Thought

If anyone reads this book, which takes a total of 48 hours over a minimum of six days, he or she gains an inherent bonus of from +1 to +5 (depending on the type of tome) to his or her Intelligence score. Once the book is read, the magic disappears from the pages and it becomes a normal book.

Caster Level: 17th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, wish or miracle; Market Price: 27,500 gp (+1), 55,000 gp (+2), 82,500 gp (+3), 110,000 gp (+4), or 137,500 gp (+5); Cost to Create: 1,250 gp + 5,100 XP (+1), 2,500 gp + 10,200 XP (+2), 3,750 gp + 15,300 XP (+3), 5,000 gp + 20,400 XP (+4), or 6,250 gp + 25,500 XP (+5); Weight: 5 lb.

Tome of Understanding

If anyone reads this book, which takes a total of 48 hours over a minimum of six days, he or she gains an inherent bonus of from +1 to +5 (depending on the type of tome) to his or her Wisdom score. Once the book is read, the magic disappears from the pages and it becomes a normal book.

Caster Level: 17th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, wish or miracle; Market Price: 27,500 gp (+1), 55,000 gp (+2), 82,500 gp (+3), 110,000 gp (+4), or 137,500 gp (+5); Cost to Create: 1,250 gp + 5,100 XP (+1), 2,500 gp + 10,200 XP (+2), 3,750 gp + 15,300 XP (+3), 5,000 gp + 20,400 XP (+4), or 6,250 gp + 25,500 XP (+5); Weight: 5 lb.

Universal Solvent

This strange liquid appears to be some sort of minor oil or potion and always comes in containers of 1 ounce. Upon first examination, it seems to have the properties of oil of slipperiness. However, if it is applied to any form of adhesive or sticky material, the solution immediately dissolves the other material. It immediately negates the effect of sovereign glue, as well as any other form of cement, glue, or adhesive. An ounce affects 1 cubic foot.

If the liquid is carefully distilled to bring it down to one-third of its original volume, each dose (1/3 ounce, having been a full ounce before distillation) dissolves 1 cubic foot of organic or inorganic material, just as if a disintegrate spell had been employed. To find out if a resisting target is affected by this concentrated solution, a touch attack roll is required, and the subject is entitled to a Fortitude saving throw (DC 19).

Caster Level: 20th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, disintegrate; Market Price: 2,000 gp (per ounce); Weight: -.

Vest of Escape

Hidden within secret pockets of this simple silk vest are lockpicks that add a +4 competence bonus to Open Lock checks. If the lockpicks are separated by more than 15 feet from the vest, they lose their competence bonus, but the bonus returns when they are returned to the pockets of the vest. Further, the vest grants the wearer a +6 competence bonus to Escape Artist checks.

Caster Level: 4th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, knock, grease; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: -.

Vestment, Druid’s

This light garment is worn over normal clothing or armor.  When worn by a druid with the wild shape ability, the character can use that ability one additional time each day.

Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, polymorph self or creator must be at least a 10th-level druid; Market Price: 5,800 gp; Weight: -.

Vestments of Faith

This holy garment, worn over normal clothing, grants a special protection (damage reduction 5/+5) to the character wearing it.

Caster Level: 20th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, stoneskin; Market Price: 76,000 gp; Weight: -.

Well of Many Worlds

This strange, interdimensional device looks just like a portable hole. Anything placed within it is immediately cast to another world-a parallel world, another planet, or a different plane, at the DM’s option or by random determination. If the well is moved, the random factor again comes into play. It can be picked up, folded, or rolled, just like a portable hole. Objects from the world the well touches can come through the opening just as easily as from the initiating place. (It is a two-way portal.)

Caster Level: 17th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, gate; Market Price: 82,000 gp; Weight: -.

Wind Fan

A wind fan appears to be nothing more than a wood and papyrus or cloth instrument with which to create a cooling breeze. By uttering the command word, its possessor causes the fan to generate air movement duplicating a gust of wind spell. The fan can be used once per day with no risk. If it is used more frequently, there is a 20% cumulative chance per usage that the device tears into useless, nonmagical tatters.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, gust of wind; Market Price: 5,500 gp; Weight: -.

Wings of Flying

When the wearer speaks the command word, this cloak turns into a pair of gigantic wings (bat or bird, 20-foot span) and empower the wearer to fly as with a fly spell anywhere wide enough to accommodate the wingspan.

Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fly; Market Price: 22,000 gp; Weight: 2 lb.
