Permanent Magic Items

From amulets and axes to wings and wooden shields, the majority of all magic items falls into this category. The creator of the item uses wealth, magic, and life energy (experience points) to make these items last forever. These items are always capable of creating a minor magical effect when used, even if they are not soul-linked. But after linking, these items offer more options and more powerful effects. These permanent items fall into two varieties, depending on how they react to soul-linkage. Custom items can be customized with different powers to suit your needs every time you level; these include armor, shields, and weapons. Fixed items always offer the same powers as you advance, and include a wide range of rings, cloaks, carpets, instruments, and more.

Custom Items

All custom items are created by enchanting masterwork armor and shields or masterwork weapons, so they have a nonmagical price that depends on their material, masterwork cost, and base cost. Enchanting the custom item requires the use of gold and experience points, and bestows on the item a +1 enhancement bonus. Armor and shields receive enhancement bonuses to armor class (AC), and weapons gain enhancement bonuses to attack rolls and damage.

After soul-linking at Adventurer Tier and higher, custom items offer the option of increasing their enhancement bonus, adding special abilities, or both in some measure. Each special ability counts as an additional +1 bonus for determining the effective total enhancement bonus of an item. At Adventurer Tier, a custom item can have a +2 enhancement bonus or enhancement bonus equivalents; at Hero Tier, a +3; and at Legend Tier, a +4. A custom item cannot have an effective total bonus (enhancement plus special ability bonus equivalents, higher than +4.

Spells and similar effects can also bestow enhancement bonuses and special abilities on custom items, such as the enhancement bonus granted by the magic weapon I spell. Adding these in, a custom item cannot have an effective total bonus higher than +5. Note that enhancement bonuses from spells do not stack with enhancement bonuses innate to a magic item.

The caster level of a custom item that is not soul-linked is 3. For soul-linked items, the caster level is the minimum for the item's current tier: 6, 11, or 16.

Soul Linking and Item Advancement

A custom item has a +1 enhancement bonus and no special ability before it is soul-linked. Any character of Tier Two or higher can link a permanent item. When you advance to level 6, and each time you level up thereafter, the Universal System offers you the option of linking to items in your possession. If you choose to link (or to continue to link) a custom item, you can change the balance of enhancement bonuses and special abilities of your item each time you level. If you choose to link to a custom item, the System offers you these choices:

If you are an Adventurer (Tier Two), you can give your item

• A +2 enhancement bonus.
• A +1 enhancement bonus and one special ability.
• Two special abilities.

If you are a Hero (Tier Three), you can give your item

• A +3 enhancement bonus.
• A +2 enhancement bonus and one special ability.
• A +1 enhancement bonus and two special abilities.
• Three special abilities.

If you are a Legend (Tier Four), you can give your item

• A +4 enhancement bonus.
• A +3 enhancement bonus and one special ability.
• A +2 enhancement bonus and two special abilities.
• A +1 enhancement bonus and three special abilities.
• Four special abilities.

Note that some special abilities are only available at Hero or Legend Tier — at Hero Tier your item can have one Hero Tier special ability; at Legend Tier your item can have one Hero Tier special ability and one Legend Tier special ability. A custom item cannot have the same special ability twice.

Activation: Usually a character benefits from magic armor, shields, and weapons in exactly the way a character benefits from nonmagical versions: by wearing or wielding them. If a custom item has a special ability that the user needs to activate, then the user usually needs to utter the command word (a standard action).

Caster Level: The CL for a custom item that is not soul-linked is CL3. Once soul-linked, the CL of the item is the character level of the linked owner.

Value: The base value of a custom item varies by size for weapons and shields and by size and shape for armor (see armor for unusual creatures). To calculate the total value of a custom item, add the base cost to the masterwork cost (150 gp for armor and shields; 300 for most weapons, 600 for dual weapons). Then add any extra cost beyond standard for certain material used (silver, mithral, etc). Finally, add 2,000 gp × tier squared for the enchantment:

• Tier 1 value: base cost + masterwork cost + materials cost + 2,000 gp
• Tier 2 value: base cost + masterwork cost + materials cost + 8,000 gp
• Tier 3 value: base cost + masterwork cost + materials cost + 18,000 gp
• Tier 4 value: base cost + masterwork cost + materials cost + 32,000 gp

Crafting: Magical custom items can be made by any crafter with the Craft Permanent Items feat, and with the expenditure of 1,000 gp and 100 xp. See Magic Item Crafting for more information.

Armor

Suits of magic armor are custom magic items, like shields and weapons, that protect the wearer to a greater extent than nonmagical armor and/or offer some remarkable magical effect. In addition to armor bonuses to AC provided by all armor, magic armor also offers enhancement bonuses to AC, which never rise above +4, and which do not stack with enhancement bonuses fom spells or from other magic items; enhancement bonuses from shields do not stack with enhancement bonuses from armor, although armor bonuses and shield bonuses do stack, being bonuses of different types. All magic armor is also masterwork armor, reducing the armor check penalty for that armor, if any, by 1.

Armor is made of a wide range of materials. When rolling randomly to assign armor to foes or in loot hauls, use these guidelines:

• For metal armor, roll d%: 01–60 bronze, 61–85 iron, 86–95 mithral, and 96–100 adamantine
• For studded leather armor, roll d%: 01–45 studded with bronze, 46–90 studded with iron, and 91–00 studded with stone and bone
• Five percent of hide armor is made of dragonhide

Armor is always created so that if the type of armor comes with a pair of boots, a helm, or a set of gauntlets, these pieces can be switched for other magic boots, helms, or gauntlets. A suit of magical armor always takes up the torso slot. That means you cannot wear magical armor in addition to magical robes, vests, mantles and so on. However, non-magical armor does not take up the torso slot; if you are wearing non-magical armor, your magical vests and robes function just fine.

The options for special abilities for magical armor are listed below:

Bright

Bright armor glows. On command, you can choose the radius, up to 30 feet, and the illumination level: bright, normal, or dim. If you choose bright, then it also radiates normal light from the radius to twice the radius, and dim from twice the radius to thrice. If you choose normal illumination, then it also radiates dim light from the radius to twice the radius. Bright light is the same as direct sunlight, and may affect light-sensitive creatures. The light can be turned on or off with a command.

Celestial

This armor weighs half what it otherwise would, and its armor check penalty and arcane spell failure chance are halved as well. Wearing it, you gain a fly speed of 30 with average maneuverability. Requires Legend Tier.

Charging

Wearing this armor, you deal an additional 2d6 points of damage on any successful charge attack you make, including a mounted charge. Requires Hero Tier.

Energy Resistance

A suit of armor with this property protects against one type of energy (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic). The suit manifests with patterns depicting the element it protects against. The armor absorbs the first 15 points of energy damage per attack that the wearer would normally take (similar to the resist energy spell).

Etherealness

On command, this ability allows the wearer of the armor to become ethereal (as the ethereal jaunt spell) once per day. You can remain ethereal for as long as desired, but once you return to normal, you cannot become ethereal again that day. Requires Legend Tier.

Ghost Touch

This armor seems almost translucent. Both its enhancement bonus and its armor bonus count against the attacks of corporeal and incorporeal creatures. It can be picked up, moved, and worn by corporeal and incorporeal creatures alike. Incorporeal creatures gain the armor's enhancement bonus against both corporeal and incorporeal attacks, and they can still pass freely through solid objects.

Glamered

Upon command, a suit of glamered armor changes shape and appearance to assume the form of a normal set of clothing, alternative armor, or other garb of your own imagination. As with other glamers, the magic affects appearance, feel, taste, smell, and sound, but the armor retains all its properties (including weight) when it is so disguised. Only a true seeing spell or similar magic reveals the true nature of the armor when disguised.

Impressive

Impressive armor is shiny, new, highly decorated, and fancy. It quickly cleans and spiffies up both itself and you when soiled. It provides a +4 enhancement bonus on your Diplomacy checks.

Invulnerability

This suit of armor grants the wearer damage reduction 5/magic. This invulnerability does not stack with other sources of damage reduction. Requires Hero Tier.

Removable

With a command word and a standard action, your armor is magically removed and stored as a brooch that you are wearing. With another command word and standard action, you can magically don the armor. In brooch form or as armor, this item takes up the torso body slot.

Slick

Slick armor seems coated at all times with a slightly slippery oil. It provides a +4 enhancement bonus on your Escape Artist checks. The item's armor check penalty still applies normally.

Wild

You retain your armor bonus to AC, your armor enhancement bonus, and special abilities granted by this armor while polymorphed or in a wild shape. The armor cannot be seen when you are in a form not your own. (Wild glamered armor does let you seem to wear a well-tailored outfit regardless of your chosen form, if you are so inclined.)

Shields

A magic shield is a custom magic item, like armor and weapons. In addition to shield bonuses to AC provided by all shields, magic shields offer enhancement bonuses to AC and/or special abilities. Enhancement bonuses to AC never rise above +4 and do not stack with enhancement bonuses fom spells or from other magic items; enhancement bonuses from shields do not stack with enhancement bonuses from armor, although armor bonuses and shield bonuses do stack, being bonuses of different types. A magic shield is also a masterwork items, reducing the armor check penalty for that shield, if any, by 1.

Shields are made of metal or wood. Bucklers are always metal, tower shields are always wood, light and heavy shields are as likely to be one as the other. Dragonhide shields are usually found with dragonhide armor. When rolling randomly to assign shields to foes or in loot hauls, use these guidelines:

• For metal shields, roll d%: 01–60 bronze, 61–85 iron, 86–95 mithral, and 96–100 adamantine
• For wood shields, roll d%: 01–90 wood, 91–00 darkwood

A magical shield always takes up the arms slot. That means you cannot wear a magical shield in addition to magical bracelets, armbands, and so on. However, non-magical shields do not take up the arms slot; if you are wearing a non-magical shield, your magical bracers function just fine. Magical tower shields take up both the arms slot and the hands slot.

Shield Hardness and Hit Points: Each +1 of enhancement bonus or equivalent adds 2 to a shield’s hardness and +10 to its hit points.

The options for special abilities for magical armor are listed below:

Absorbing

This shield is flat black and seems to absorb light. Once per day, on command, it can disintegrate an object that it touches (or a 10 x 10 x 10 foot section of a big object), requiring a melee touch attack. This can affect an attended or unattended object. The daily use is not exhausted until such a melee touch succeeds. Requires Hero Tier.

Animated

Upon command, an animated shield floats within 2 feet of you, protecting you as if you were using it yourself but freeing up both hands. Only one shield can protect a character at a time. You still takes any penalties associated with shield use, such as armor check penalty, arcane spell failure chance, and nonproficiency.

Arrow Catching

A shield with this ability attracts ranged weapons to it. The shield's enhancement bonus to AC is increased by +2 against ranged attacks because ranged touch attacks, projectiles, and thrown weapons veer toward it. The +2 enhancement bonus to AC also applies to your touch AC against ranged touch attacks (though your shield bonus and other enhancement bonus does not). Additionally, any projectile or thrown weapon aimed at an ally within 5 feet of you diverts from its original target and targets you instead. (If you have total cover relative to the attacker, the projectile or thrown weapon is not diverted.) Additionally, those attacking you with ranged attacks ignore any miss chances that would normally apply. You can activate or deactivate this ability with a command word.

Bashing

A shield with this special ability is designed to perform a shield bash. A bashing shield deals damage as if it were a weapon of two size categories larger (a medium light shield thus deals 1d6 points of damage and a medium heavy shield deals 1d8 points of damage). The shield acts as a +1 weapon when used to bash, granting a +1 enhancement bonus to attacks and damage. (Only light and heavy shields can have this ability.)

Blinding

This shield flashes with a brilliant light once per tier per day upon command as a move action. Anyone within 20 feet except the wielder must make a DC 14 Reflex save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds; those who save are dazzled if they have eyes.

Deep

You are treated as unarmored for purposes of swim checks. You can breathe underwater and can converse with any water-breathing creature with a language.

Fortification

This shield produces a magical force that protects vital areas more effectively. When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored you, there is a 75 percent chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally. Requires Legend Tier.

Leonine

This shield is fashioned to appear to be a roaring lion’s head. Three times per day as a swift action, the lion’s head can be commanded to attack (independently of you), biting with your base attack bonus (including multiple iterative attacks, if your BAB is high enough to grant them) and dealing 2d6 points of damage. This attack is in addition to any other actions performed you.

Reflecting

This shield seems like a mirror. Its surface is completely reflective. Once per day, after you fail a saving throw against a spell or gaze attack, you can choose instead to reflect the attack back on the foe who launched it, affecting the foe as the target. Requires Hero Tier.

Scrollbound

This shield has straps and clips on the side facing you designed to hold a scroll securely and positioned for reading. It takes one minute to "load" a scroll into place. Thereafter, you can read the scroll as a standad action without needing to retrieve it from storage. Moreover, you can read the scroll with no chance of arcane spell failure.

Spell Resistance

This property grants you spell resistance 12.

Undead Mastery

A shield of undead mastery can be decorated with skeletal or grisly flourishes, if you so desire. The shield has one of two uses, chosen when you level up:

• This armor emits an aura so that undead creatures within 20 feet of you are rendered immobile (like a hold spell). Nonintelligent undead creatures get no saving throw; intelligent undead creatures can make a DC16 Will save to remain unaffected. The effect lasts for so long as the undead remain within 20 feet, and it is broken if the held undead are attacked or take damage. If an undead saves, it is immune to this armor. If it fails but leaves the aura, it can save again upon re-entry.
• This armor doubles the hit dice of undead you can control, from 4 to 8 HD/caster level.

Requires Legend Tier.

Weapons

A magic weapon is a custom magic item, like armor and shields. A piece of magic ammunition is a consumable item, and is not covered with these rules. Magic weapons offer enhancement bonuses to attack rolls and damage. These enhancement bonuses never rise above +4 and do not stack with enhancement bonuses fom spells or from other magic items. A magic weapon is also a masterwork item, offering a +1 enhancement bonus on critical confirmation rolls.

Weapons are made of a wide range of materials. When rolling randomly to assign weapons to foes or in loot hauls, use these guidelines:

• For metal weapons, roll d%: 01–40 bronze, 41–80 iron, 81–88 cold iron, 89–94 silver/stone, 95–97 mithral, and 98–100 adamantine
• For wooden weapons, roll d%: 01–90 wood, 90–100 darkwood
• As always, slings (but not bullets), saps, whips, and nets are made of leather or rope.

Weapons come in two basic categories: melee and ranged. Some of the weapons listed as melee weapons can also be used as ranged weapons. In this case, their enhancement bonus applies to either type of attack.

Additional Damage Dice: Some magic weapons deal additional dice of damage. Unlike other modifiers to damage, additional dice of damage are not multiplied when the attacker scores a critical hit.

Ammunition fired from a projectile weapon with an enhancement bonus of +1 or higher is treated as a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Similarly, ammunition fired from a projectile weapon with an alignment gains the alignment of that projectile weapon.

Hardness and Hit Points: Each +1 of enhancement bonus or equivalent adds 2 to a weapon’s or shield’s hardness and +10 to its hit points.

The options for special abilities for magical weapons are listed below:

Alert

This weapon glows when monsters are near, on a d100 roll of 01-85 (check once per hour). When monsters are within one mile, it glows as a candle, shedding dim light in a 5 foot radius. Within 500 feet, it glows with normal light within 5 feet and dim light within another 5. Within 50 feet, it glows with bright light in 5 feet, then with normal light in another 5 feet, and then with dim light within another 5 feet. You can command the detection ability (and its light) to turn off and on. When you soul-link or level up, you can set a size range for monsters to be detected, for example, sensing only medium and larger monsters. The weapon also grants a +1 enhancement bonus to attack all monsters, but not to inflict damage.

Aligned

An aligned weapon is imbued with sacred power, linked to Law, Chaos, Good, or Evil. This power makes the weapon aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. It deals an extra 1d6 points of damage against those with an opposed alignment. This weapon cannot be used by a creature with an opposed alignment. Projectile weapons so crafted bestow the sacred power upon their ammunition.

Bane

A bane weapon excels at attacking one type or subtype of creature, selected when you soul-link the weapon (and changeable when you level. The kind of foe is chosen from the Ranger's favored enemies list. Against its designated foe, the weapon gains a +2 enhancement bonus that stacks with its normal enhancement bonus, if any. It also deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against the foe. Projectile weapons with this property bestow the bane quality upon their ammunition.

Dancing

As a standard action, a dancing weapon can be loosed to attack on its own. It fights for four rounds (starting with the round it is released) using your base attack bonus and then drops. While dancing, it cannot make attacks of opportunity, and you are not considered armed with the weapon (unless you are wielding another one). In all other respects, it is considered wielded or attended by you for all maneuvers and effects that target items. While dancing, it takes up the same space as you and can attack adjacent foes (weapons with reach can attack opponents up to 10 feet away). The dancing weapon accompanies you everywhere, whether you move by physical or magical means. If you have an unoccupied hand, you can grasp it while it is attacking on its own as a free action; when so retrieved the weapon can’t dance (attack on its own) again for four rounds. Requires Legend Tier.

Energy Infusion

A weapon with this property is infused with one type of energy (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic). The weapon manifests with patterns depicting its element as well as a magical effect related to it (a wet sheen of acid, frost, sparks of electricity, flames, or a low hum); these manifestations can be turned off on command. The weapon inflicts +1d6 damage of its energy type on a successful hit. Projectile weapons with this ability bestow their energy upon their ammunition.

Ghost Touch

This weapon seems almost translucent. It suffers no miss chance used against incorporeal creatures. The weapon can be picked up and used by an incorporeal creature at any time, wielding it against corporeal foes. Essentially, a ghost touch weapon counts as either corporeal or incorporeal at any given time, whichever is more beneficial to the wielder. Incorporeal creatures carrying these weapons can still pass freely through solid objects. Ammunition shot with ghost touch projectile weapons affect incorporeal creatures just as melee and thrown weapons do, but these are less useful to incorporeal creatures themselves, who cannot manipulate ammunition under most circumstances.

Holy

You can use this special weapon ability only if you are good-aligned. This holy weapon ignores all alignment-based damage reduction. It deals an extra 1d6 points of bonus nonlethal damage against neutral foes, and an extra 2d6 bonus nonlethal damage against evil ones. When a neutral or evil creature is struck by this weapon, they must make a Will save against a DC or 9 plus the bonus nonlethal damage rolled. If they fail, their alignment converts instantly and permanently to good, and their attitude towards you changes to indifferent (see the Diplomacy skill. They cease fighting unless attacked after conversion. Against creatures immune to nonlethal damage, the bonus damage is lethal, but there is no conversion effect. If a creature makes the will save to convert, it is immune to that weapon for the rest of the day. Requires Hero Tier.

Merciful

The weapon deals an extra 1d8 points of damage, and all damage it deals is nonlethal damage. On command, you can suppress this ability until commanded to resume it. Projectile weapons so crafted bestow the merciful effect upon their ammunition.

Threatening

This ability changes the base threat range of a weapon to 19-20/×3.

Speed

When making a full attack action, you may make one extra attack with this weapon. The attack uses your full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This benefit is not cumulative with similar effects, such as a haste spell.) Requires Hero Tier.

Summonable

With a free action, you can teleport this weapon without mishap to your hand, whether it is dropped, disarmed, thrown, or even left at home.

Vorpal

This potent and feared ability allows the weapon to instantly slay its target, usually by severing the target's head or piercing its heart. Upon a roll of natural 20 (followed by a successful roll to confirm the critical hit), the weapon kills the enemy. Requires Legend Tier.

Fixed Items

A fixed magic item is permanent and does not offer customization. It has certain lesser magical capabilities when used unlinked. It offers enhanced, advanced powers gained at Tiers Two, Three, and Four, if the item is soul-linked.

Some fixed items require you equip the item, that is, wear it. These wearable items use a body slot. Note that you can only soul-link one fixed item per slot; that means, for example, you cannot soul-link two cloaks and swap them out as you prefer. Once you soul-link a fixed item that uses a body slot, no other magic item will function for you in that slot.

Fixed items that do not use a body slot are called "slotless." There is no limit on the number of such items you can soul-link. However, many slotless items require you to hold or wield then when in use; this may restrict the number you can use at one time.

Rings

Rings are wearable fixed magic items that bestow magical powers upon their wearers. In general, anyone can use a ring.

A character can only effectively wear two magic rings. A third magic ring doesn't work if the wearer is already wearing two magic rings.

Physical Description: Rings have no appreciable weight. Although exceptions exist that are crafted from glass or bone, the vast majority of rings are forged from metal — usually precious metals alloys such as gold, silver, and platinum. A metal ring has AC13, 2 hit points, hardness 10, and a break DC of 25.

Activation: A ring's ability is usually activated by a spoken command word (a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity) or its effects work continually. Some rings have unusual activations, as mentioned in the ring's specific description.

Rings of Partnership

Aura moderate abjuration; CL 10th

Slot fingers; Value 5,000 gp (for a pair); Weight —

Description: These curious rings always come in pairs, requiring two partners to wear them if they are to function. A partnership ring without its mate is useless. When both are worn and one partner takes hit point damage, the damage is divided equally between partners (round down), so long as the partners are within 100 feet.

The advanced effects of the rings only function if both partners are soul-linked to them. If one partner is of higher tier, only the lower tier power applies.

Adventurer Tier: Partners can sense each other's emotions via empathy. One partner can transfer their hit points to the other partner as a free action. The rings' range extends to one mile. Value: 20,000 gp

Hero Tier: Partners can read each other's thoughts via telepathy. If one or both partners are required to make a will save against an attack, both roll. If one succeeds, the spell fails (if the effect has a partial result on a save, it has a 50-50 chance to affect one or the other partner, not both). If both saves fail, both partners are fully affected. The rings' range extends to anywhere on the same plane. Value: 45,000 gp

Legend Tier: Partners know their distance and direction from each other. The saving throw power above now extends to effects requiring fortitude saves. There is no limit on range in the multiverse. Value: 80,000 gp

Construction Requirements Craft Permanent Items, shield other; Cost 250 xp, 2,500 gp

Note: Generally, these rings are shared between two people, with the value split between them. Each wearer must use a fingers slot.

Slot fingers; Value 2,000 gp; Weight —

Bag of Holding

Aura conjuration; CL 9th

Slot —; Price 1,500; Weight see below

Description

This appears to be a common cloth sack about 2 feet by 4 feet in size. 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 10 lbs. and holds 250 lbs., in a space up to 30 cubic ft. Any item or number of items totaling under those limits can fit, even if the dimensions look larger than the bag's mouth. Stowing an item into the bag is a move action; retrieving an item is a full-round action — both actions provoke attacks of opportunity.

If a bag of holding is overloaded, or if sharp objects pierce it (from inside or outside), the bag immediately ruptures and is ruined, and all contents are lost forever. A bag of holding cannot be turned inside out. If living creatures are placed within the bag, they can survive for up to 10 minutes, after which time they suffocate. Magic items placed inside the bag do not offer any benefit to the character carrying the bag.

Bronze Bands of Binding

Aura evocation; CL 10th

Slot —; Price 2,500 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Description

This useful item appears to be a 3-inch-diameter bronze sphere with bandings on the globe. When the proper command word is spoken and the spherical bronze device is touched to a defeated and helpless foe (of medium size or smaller), the bands expand to surround the target. Some bands then contract to bind the foe; other bands remain enlarged so that the bands and foe can be easily rolled along (you can roll a foe with weight up to ten times your maximum load allowed by your strength). The inner bands rotate so that the target does not get dizzy. The prisoner, now pinned, is released only at your command, or if the prisoner makes a DC35 Escape Artist or Break skill check.

Adventurer Tier: With a new command, you can divide the bronze bands of binding into four identical globes, each of which functions as above for targets up to size large. The Escape Artist or Break DC needed to escape is now 45. The balls will now roll at your command, so you do not need to push, at a speed of 30, taking a move action each round to direct them.

Bugle of Blasting

Description

This horn appears to be a normal, though finely made, wind instrument. It can be sounded as a normal bugle (and as a masterwork musical instrument, this item also grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Perform checks involving both its magical and non-magical use). However, when a command melody is played, with a Perform (wind instruments) DC14, the bugle of blasting deals 4d6 points of sonic damage to creatures within a 10-foot cone and causes them to be deafened for 1d4 rounds. A Fortitude save reduces the damage by half and negates the deafening; the DC for this save is the Perform check result to activate. Crystalline, glass, and stone creatures take 6d6 points of sonic damage and save with a -1 penalty. Unattended objects made of the same substances take 6d6 damage, ignoring hardness and with no save. The bugle can be used successfully once per day.

Adventurer Tier: The bugle's activation Perform skill DC rises to 16. The instrument deals 8d6 sonic damage in a 20 ft cone (12d6 to crystalline creatures and objects, creatures save at -2) and deafens for 2d4 rounds. Value: 12,000 gp

Description

This rug is able to fly through the air at a fly speed of 40 feet. Beautifully and intricately made, 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. A carpet of flying can carry up to double its capacity, but doing so reduces its speed to 30 feet. With people crowded on, two small people or one medium person can fit on a 5x5 square. A large character takes up four squares (a 10x10 space.

As a masterwork musical instrument, these castanets also grant a +1 circumstance bonus on Perform (dance) and Perform (percussion instrument) checks involving both the item's magical and non-magical use. When you dance while playing castanets of confusion, you entrance viewers who do not know what to expect. When you activate and dance with this item (a full-round action), you fascinate any people within 60 feet who are watching you, unless they make a Will save. To determine the DC of this Will save, roll both dance and a percussion instrument performance skill checks, and average the results — this is the save DC. The effect lasts for so long as you dance and play, using a full-round action each round, up to 1d4 minutes, or until you are silenced or stopped from performing. You cannot affect the same creature, save or no, after a first exposure, until you have gained a new level.

Crystal Ball

Aura divination;CL 10th

Slot —; Price 4,000; Weight 7 lbs.

Description

This is the most common form of scrying device, a crystal sphere about 6 inches in diameter. So well-known are these items that many so-called oracles or fortune-tellers use similar appearing (but completely non-magical) replicas of these items to ply their trades. To use a crystal ball, concentrate on a specific individual creature (monster or person) for one minute. The creature must be known to you by at least two of the following: a bit of hair, blood, or body; the creature's true name; or you have met the creature in person — or the creature must be marked with your arcane marking or carrying an object so marked. If the creature is within a range of one mile and is unwilling, they make a DC16 will save to resist (spell resistance does not apply). If they save, they are aware of the failed attempt to scry. If they fail the save, they are unaware of the attempt and you can watch them (and the area within 10 feet of them) for d100 minutes. A willing creature can choose to fail the save if they have touched the crystal ball beforehand. A crystal ball can be used multiple times per day, but the DC to resist its power decreases by two for each additional use. The item creates an invisible marble-size sensor through which you can use your own low-light vision and darkvision.

Adventurer Tier: The range increases to 100 miles, the DC to resist rises to 19, and you can communicate through the crystal ball with telepathy if you and the target share a common language. Value: 16,000 gp

Hero Tier: The item can find a target on the same plane of existence. The DC to resist rises to 22, and in addition to telepathy, you can cast any detect spell through the sensor. Value: 36,000 gp

Legend Tier: The item can find a target anywhere in the mutiverse. The DC to resist rises to 25, and in addition to telepathy and detect spells, you can cast see invisibility through the sensor. Value: 64,000 gp

When activated (a standard action requiring only pressing the side, with no command word needed, a standard action), the item creates a cube-shaped area 5 feet on a side centered on the possessor (or on the cube itself, if the item is later placed on a surface). The field absorbs five of damage from each energy attack, reducing energy damage taken by those within. The type of energy depends on the side pressed: cold, fire, electrical, acid, and sonic. Pressing the sixth side turns off the protection with a standard action. The cube functions for 10 rounds per day.

Description

This dimensional magical item is a small cube fashioned from carnelian. Each of the six sides of the cube is keyed to a different plane of existence or dimension, one of which is always the Prime Material Plane. The character creating the item chooses the planes to which the other five sides are keyed; found cubes are set by the game master.

If a side of the cube of gates is pressed as a standard action, it creates a gate to a random point on the plane keyed to that side; you cannot create a gate to a plane on which you currently stand. The gate manifests as an archway four feet wide and eight feet high, standing unsupported and existing on only one side. From the gate side, you can look through to see what is on the other side; from the nonexistent side, you can step through as if the gate did not exist. Note that the gate is closed; no creature, object, or magic can pass through the gate, and no energy except nonmagical light can enter or leave.

It is impossible to open more than one gate at a time. When the cube is activated, a created gate lasts one minute. The cube can only be used activated per day.

It is a tent (10 ft. by 5 ft. by 5 ft.) big ehough for two medium creatures, offering improved concealment, a 30 percent miss chance, and a +2 bonus on stealth checks. The hunting blind has 5 hit points and no hardness; if an attack directed against the blind destroys it, it reverts to its metal cube form. The blind otherwise lasts for ten minutes, and the cube can be activated once per day. The shelter springs up in just one round, with the door facing you. The door opens and closes instantly at your command, a free action. It cannot be activated if there is no room or if creatures or objects are blocking space it will occupy.

Adventurer Tier: The instant fortress now appears as a wooden shed (10 ft. by 10 ft. by 8 ft.) with room for four medium creatures. It has the same qualities as the hunting blind, but with hardness 4 and 20 hit points. It lasts for one hour. Value: 12,000 gp

Hero Tier: The instant fortress now appears as a small house (20 ft. by 20 ft. by 15 ft.) with room for eight medium creatures. It has the same strength and furnishings as that created by a secure shelter, though it lacks the alarm and unseen servant options. It has hardness 8 and 75 hp per side (and roof); it is destroyed when it has taken 200 hp. It otherwise lasts ten hours. Value: 27,000 gp

Legend Tier: The fortress is now a tower (20 ft. by 20 ft. by 30 ft high) with two floors, 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 ground floor door and a trap door in the roof; both open only at your command — even knock spells can't open these doors. The adamantine walls of this instant fortress have 100 hit points and hardness 20; the fortress is destroyed if it takes 300 hp total. It lasts indefinitely until forced by damage to revert to cube shape, or until you command it to revert. Value: 48,000 gp

Note: You can activate the instant fortress as if you were of lower tier, if you prefer. The duration used is that of the current tier, however.

Ioun Stones

Aura varied; CL 10th

Slot —; Price varies; Weight —

Description

These crystalline 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, she must hold it and then release it, whereupon it takes up a circling orbit 1d3 feet from her 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 while she is sleeping, for example), but she loses the benefits of the stone during that time. Ioun stones have AC24, 10 hit points, and hardness 5. All are cut into the shape of an icosohedron. The powers of each stone vary depending on its color and tier.

Description

This magical instrument is usually made of gold and inlaid with numerous gems. As a masterwork musical instrument, this item grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Perform (string instruments) checks involving its non-magical and magical use. If the proper chords are played and you make a Perform (string instruments) check against DC14, the lyre negates any attacks made against inanimate construction (walls, roof, floor, and so on) within 300 feet. This includes the effects of a bugle 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, for a performance that lasts one minute. You must use a full-round action each round during the performance.

Adventurer Tier: You can negate attacks against construction for 10 minutes, with a standard action each round. 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, etc. The effect produced in one hour of playing is equal to the work of one contstruction worker laboring for one week. Each hour after the first, you must make a DC18 Perform (string instruments) check. If it fails, you must stop and cannot play the lyre again for this purpose until a week has passed. Value: 16,000 gp
