WONDEROUS ITEM DESCRIPTIONS
Amulet of Health
This amulet is a golden disk on a chain. It usually bears the image of a lion or other powerful animal. The 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 amulet, usually crafted from bone or beast scales, toughens the wearer’s body and flesh, giving him a natural armor bonus to his 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 strange device usually appears to be a black circular amulet, although any character looking closely at it sees a dark, moving swirl of color. The 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 her to the plane (and the specific location on that plane) that she wants. If she fails, the amulet transports her and all those traveling with her 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 silver 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 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 she were four levels higher than her actual class level.
Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, 10th-level cleric; Market Price: 11,000 gp; Weight: -.
Apparatus of Kwalish
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:
Lever (1d10) Lever Function ------ --------------
1 Extend/retract legs and tail 2 Uncover/cover forward porthole 3 Uncover/cover side portholes 4 Extend/retract pincers and feelers 5 Snap pincers 6 Move forward/backward 7 Turn left/right 8 Open “eyes” with continual flame inside/close “eyes” 9 Rise/sink in water 10 Open/close hatch
The device has the following characteristics:
Speed: Forward 10 ft., backward 20 ft.
AC: 20 (-1 size, 11 natural)
Hit
Points: 200
Attacks: 2 pincers, +12 melee
Damage: 2d8 each
Special
Qualities: Hardness 15
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. 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, [ERRATA: continual flame], 8 ranks of Knowledge (architecture and engineering); Market Price: 130,000 gp; Weight: 500 lb.
Bag of Holding
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 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:
Bag Bag Weight Volume Market Type Weight Limit Limit Price ---- ------ ------ ------ ------
Bag 1 15 lb. 250 lb. 30 cu. ft. 2,500 gp Bag 2 25 lb. 500 lb. 70 cu. ft. 5,000 gp Bag 3 35 lb. 1,000 lb. 150 cu. ft. 7,400 gp Bag 4 60 lb. 1,500 lb. 250 cu. ft. 10,000 gp
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 moveequivalent 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, Leomund’s 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.
--- Gray -- --- - Rust -- -- --- - Tan - ------ d% Animal d% Animal d% Animal 01-30 Bat 01-30 Wolverine 01-30 Brown bear 31-60 Rat 31-60 Wolf 31-60 Lion 61-75 Cat 61-85 Boar 61-80 Warhorse 76-90 Weasel 86-100 Black bear 81-90 Tiger 91-100 Badger 91-100 Rhinoceros
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
This small black sphere appears to be a lusterless pearl. Upon sharp impact, however, the 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 the ability to use both hands as though he possessed the Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting feats. He 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 herself once per day for up to 10 consecutive rounds.
Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, haste, righteous might or Tenser’s 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 (such as Charisma checks for NPC attitude) and Charisma-keyed skill checks such as Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, Gather Information, Intimidate and Perform 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 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 wide belt is made of thick leather and studded with iron. The 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-perhaps on an item within the box.
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. The book is thus highly prized by wizards as a spellbook. 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 she had cast levitate on 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 her normal speed. In addition to this striding ability, these boots allow the wearer to make great leaps. She can jump with a +10 competence bonus to Jump checks, and the wearer’s jumping distance is not limited by her height.
Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, expeditious retreat, jump; Market Price: [ERRATA: 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. He 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, he is able to travel across snow at his normal speed, leaving no tracks. The boots also enable him 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 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
This item appears to be a normal glass bottle with a cork. When taken to any airless environment (such as underwater or in a vacuum), it 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 she can hold 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 usually fashioned from blue or green semiprecious stone (malachite, lapis lazuli, azurite, turquoise, or peridot, or sometimes jade). It 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 silver charm bracelet has seven charms upon it. The owner may designate one person known to him 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 wristbands look like normal protective wear. The bracers empower the wearer to use any bow (not including crossbows) as if she were proficient in its use. If she already has proficiency with any type of bow, 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 appear to be wrist or arm guards. They surround the wearer with an invisible but tangible field of force, granting him an armor bonus of +1 to +8, just as though he 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 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 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 specially blessed tapers 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 he burns the candle during or just prior to his spell preparation time. He can even cast spells normally unavailable to him, as if he 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, so users often place it in a lantern to protect it from drafts and the like. Doing this 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 white tallow 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 bright red and gold cape allows the wearer to use the magic of the dimension door spell once per day. When he disappears, he 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. 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.
Size Capacity Speed Weight Market Price ---- -------- ----- ------ ------------
3 ft. by 5 ft. 300 lb. 210 ft. 5 lb. 18,000 gp 4 ft. by 6 ft. 600 lb. 180 ft. 8 lb. 29,000 gp 5 ft. by 7 ft. 900 lb. 150 ft. 10 lb. 41,000 gp 6 ft. by 9 ft. 1200 lb. 120 ft. 15 lb. 53,000 gp
Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fly, permanency.
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 even 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, so if a chest is chained, padlocked, locked, and arcane locked, it takes four uses of the chime of opening to get it open. 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, embroidered with a weblike pattern in silk, gives the wearer the ability to climb as if a spider climb spell had been placed upon her. In addition, the cloak grants her immunity to entrapment by web spells or webs of any sort-she can actually move in webs at half her normal speed.
Once per day, the wearer of this cloak can cast web. She 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
Fashioned of dark brown or black cloth, 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 he desires, the wearer can actually polymorph himself 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 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
This lightweight and fashionable cloak has a highly decorative silver trim. When in a character’s possession, it adds a +2, +4, or +6 enhancement bonus to her 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
This silvery-gray cloak seems to absorb light rather than be illuminated by it. 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 appears nearly identical to a manta ray. (A Spot check against DC 20 is needed to determine otherwise.) He 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 him, dealing 1d6 points of damage. This attack can be used in addition to any other attack the character has, using his highest melee attack bonus. The wearer can release his 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
This device can be made of ivory, bone, or any hard mineral. About the size of a large die (perhaps 3/4 inch across), it enables its possessor to put up a special wall of force 10 feet per side around 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 deal (40 points of damage drains 1 charge, 50 points drains 2 charges, and so forth). 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 (such as ice storm, cone of cold, and white dragon breath). 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
This item is fashioned from carnelian. 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: -.
Daern’s 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 Daern’s 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 his 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, Mordenkainen’s magnificent mansion; Market Price: 55,000 gp; Weight: -.
Darkskull
This skull, carved from ebony, is wholly evil. Wherever the 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
These shackles have golden runes traced across their cold iron surface. Any creature bound within them is affected as if a dimensional anchor spell were cast upon 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.
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 fine, 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
This dust looks just like dust of appearance and is typically stored in the same manner. A creature or object touched by it 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
This normal-seeming dust is actually a magic powder that can conceal the passage of its possessor and his companions. 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 men 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: -.
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 she 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 him to cast doom upon those around him (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, he 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 she covers her other eye. Of course, she 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 her 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: -.
Figurines of Wondrous Power
Each of the several kinds of figurines of wondrous power appears to be a tiny statuette of an 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 Elephant
This 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 him 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 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 her 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 are made of tough leather with iron studs running across the back of the hands and fingers. They grant the wearer great strength, adding a +2 enhancement bonus to his 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
This single metal gauntlet looks rusted and pitted but is actually quite powerful. Once per day, it can affect an object as with the rusting grasp spell. It also completely protects the wearer and 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: This crystal appears to be a long, rough prism. Upon utterance of a command word, the crystal emits bright light of one of three sorts.
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 had the Deflect Arrows feat, except that he 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 tight-fitting, thin leather gloves are very flexible and allow for delicate manipulation. They 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
This device is a simple leather glove. 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. [ERRATA: 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. [ERRATA: Storing or retrieving the 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. Many owners of gloves of storing find them to be useful and dramatic ways to store weapons, wands, and-because the item is stored in stasis-even lit torches. If the effect is suppressed or dispelled, the stored item appears instantly. Although it is handy to have two of these gloves, the creation process yields only one.
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.
Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, cat’s grace; Market Price: 6,000 gp; Weight: -.
Goggles of Minute Seeing
The lenses of this item are made of special crystal. When placed over the eyes of the wearer, they enable her to see much better than normal at distances of 1 foot or less, granting 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 him to see normally and also grant him 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 herself, and it does not count against her 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.
Harp of Charming
This instrument is a golden, intricately carved harp. When played, it 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 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 a comb, ribbon, headband, cap, coif, hood, helmet, and so on.
Caster Level: 2nd; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, change self; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: -.
Headband of Intellect
This device is a light cord with a small gem set so that it rests upon the forehead of the wearer. The headband adds to the wearer’s Intelligence score in the form of an enhancement bonus of +2, +4, or +6.
Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, commune or legend lore; Market Price: 4,000 gp (+2), 16,000 gp (+4), or 36,000 gp (+6); Weight: -.
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. When struck by bright light, the helm scintillates and sends forth reflective rays in all directions from its crownlike, gem-tipped spikes. The jewels’ functions are as follows:
Jewel Effect ----- ------
Diamond Prismatic spray (DC 17) Ruby Wall of fire Fire opal Fireball (10d6) Opal Light
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.
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
Appearing as a normal helmet, a helmet of comprehending languages and reading magic grants its wearer a 90% chance to understand any strange tongue or writing she encounters and an 80% chance to understand any magic writings. Note that understanding does not necessarily imply spell use.
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 can send a telepathic message to anyone whose surface thoughts he 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 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 he 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 her to see five times farther than water and light conditions would allow for normal human vision. (Weeds, obstructions, and the like block vision in the usual manner.) 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 her to breathe freely.
Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, freedom of movement, water breathing; Market Price: 24,000 gp; Weight: 3 lb.
Heward’s Handy Haversack
A backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary. It is constructed of finely tanned leather, and the straps have brass hardware and buckles. 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 [ERRATA: free] action. Heward’s handy haversack and whatever it contains gain a +2 resistance bonus to all saving throws.
Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Leomund’s secret chest; Market Price: 2,000 gp; Weight: 5 lb.
Horn of Blasting
This horn appears to be a normal trumpet. It 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 he is good, then blowing the horn has the effect of a magic circle against evil. If he 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 she herself summoned.
Type of Barbarians d% Horn Summoned Prerequisites -- ---- ------------------ -------------
01-40 Silver 2d4+2, 2nd level None 41-75 Brass 2d4+1, 3rd level Spellcaster level 1st+ 76-90 Bronze 2d4, 4th level Proficiency with all martial weapons or bardic music ability 91-100 Iron 1d4+1, 5th level Proficiency with all martial weapons or bardic music ability
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 (page 26). 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
This small rectangular block of sweet-smelling incense is visually indistinguishable from nonmagical incense until lit. 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.
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, 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 (while sleeping, for example) to keep it safe, but she 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 works like a ring of regeneration. (It 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: -.
Ioun Stones

*After absorbing 20 spell levels, the stone burns out and turns to dull gray, forever useless.
**After absorbing 50 spell levels, the stone burns out and turns dull gray, forever useless.
Iron Bands of Bilarro
When initially discovered, this very potent item appears to be a rusty iron sphere. Close examination reveals that there are bandings on the 3-inch-diameter globe.
When the proper command word is spoken and the 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, Bigby’s grasping hand; Market Price: 26,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.
Iron Flask: These special containers are typically inlaid with runes of silver and stoppered by a brass plug bearing a seal engraved with sigils, glyphs, and special symbols. 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.

Keoghtom’s Ointment
A jar of this unguent is small-3 inches in diameter and 1 inch deep-but 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.
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.

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 saving throw, he 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, she suffers a -4 attack penalty.
Caster Level: 15th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Bigby’s clenched fist; Market Price: 25,000 gp; Weight: 160 lb.
Medallion of Thoughts
This appears to be a normal pendant disk hung from a neck chain. Usually fashioned from bronze, copper, or nickel-silver, the 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, he can call the reflection of any creature trapped within to its surface and engage his 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 her 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.
Murlynd’s Spoon
This unremarkable eating utensil is typically fashioned from horn. If the spoon is placed in an empty container-a bowl, a cup, or a dish, for example-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: -.
Necklace of Adaptation
This necklace is a heavy chain with a platinum medallion. The magic of the necklace wraps the wearer in a shell of fresh air, making him immune to all gases and allowing him 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 appears to be nothing but a cheap medallion or piece of valueless
jewelry. If a character places it about her neck, however, all can see the
necklace as it really 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:
Market
Necklace 10d6 9d6 8d6 7d6 6d6 5d6 4d6 3d6 2d6 Price -------- ---- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- -----
Type I - - - - - 1 - 2 - 1,650 gp Type II - - - - 1 - 2 - 2 2,700 gp Type III - - - 1 - 2 - 4 - 4,350 gp Type IV - - 1 - 2 - 2 - 4 5,400 gp Type V - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 6,150 gp Type VI 1 - 2 - 2 - 4 - - 8,100 gp Type VII 1 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 9,150 gp
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 her 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, often with regrettable consequences for the wearer.
Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fireball; Weight: 2 lb.
Necklace of Prayer Beads
A necklace of this sort appears to be a normal piece of nonvaluable jewelry until it is placed about a character’s neck and the wearer casts a divine spell. The necklace of prayer beads consists of 1d6+24 semiprecious stones (total value 1,000 gp) along with one special bead:
Bead of blessing: Wearer can cast bless.
Bead of healing: Wearer can cast remove blindness, remove disease, or cure serious wounds.
Bead of karma: Wearer can cast his spells at +4 caster level (with respect to range, duration, etc.). Effect lasts 10 minutes.
Bead of smiting: Wearer can cast holy smite, chaos hammer, order’s wrath, or unholy blight if appropriate to his alignment. (A neutral wearer can’t use this bead.)
Bead of summons: Calls the wearer’s deity (90% probability) to come to him in material form. (It had better be for a good reason.) Usable only once.
Bead of wind walking: Wearer can cast wind walk.
Each special bead can be used once per day, except for the bead of summons. If the wearer uses that bead to summon his deity frivolously, the deity takes the character’s items and places a geas upon him 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: -.
Nolzur’s 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 Nolzur’s marvelous pigments is sufficient to create a 1,000-cubic-foot object by depicting it two-dimensionally over a 100-square-foot surface. Thus, a 10-foot-by-10-foot rendition of a pit would result in an actual 10-foot-by-10-foot-by-10-foot pit; a 10-foot-by-10-foot depiction of a room would result in a 10-foot-by-10-foot-by-10-foot room; and so on.
Only normal, inanimate objects can be created-doors, pits, flowers, trees, cells, and so on. Creatures can’t be created. The pigments must be applied to a surface (a floor, wall, ceiling, door, etc.). It takes 10 minutes to depict an object with the pigments. Nolzur’s marvelous pigments cannot create magic items. Objects of value depicted by the pigments-precious metals, gems, jewelry, ivory, and so on-appear to be valuable but are really made of tin, lead, paste, brass, bone, and other such 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: -.
Orb of Storms
This glass sphere is 8 inches in diameter. The possessor can call forth all manner of weather, even supernaturally destructive storms. Once per day she can call upon the orb to access a control weather spell, Once per month, she 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
This seemingly normal pearl of average size and luster is a potent aid to all spellcasters who prepare spells (clerics, druids, rangers, paladins, and wizards). Once per day on command, a pearl of power enables the possessor to recall any one spell that she had prepared and then cast. 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: -.
Pearl of the Sirines
This normal-seeming pearl is beautiful and worth at least 1,000 gp on that basis alone. If it is clasped firmly in hand or held to the breast while the possessor attempts actions related to the pearl’s powers, she understands and is able to employ the item.
The pearl enables its possessor to breathe in water as if she were in clean, fresh air. Her underwater swim speed is 60 feet, and she can cast spells and act underwater without hindrance.
Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, water breathing, freedom of movement; Market Price: 15,300 gp; Weight: -.
Periapt of Health
The wearer of this blue gem on a silver chain is immune to disease, including supernatural diseases.
Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, remove disease; Market Price: 7,500 gp; Weight: -.
Periapt of Proof against Poison
This item is a brilliant-cut black gem on a delicate silver chain. The wearer gains a +4 luck saving throw bonus against any type of poison.
Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, neutralize poison; Market Price: 4,000 gp; Weight: -.
Periapt of Wisdom
Although it appears to be a normal pearl on a light chain, a periapt of wisdom actually increases the possessor’s Wisdom score in the form of an enhancement bonus of +2, +4, or +6 (depending on the individual item).
Caster Level: 8th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, commune or legend lore; Market Price: 4,000 gp (+2), 16,000 gp (+4), or 36,000 gp (+6); Weight: -.
Periapt of Wound Closure
This stone is bright red and dangles on a gold chain. The wearer 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 (such as that caused by a stirge).
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 alignment and standing with his deity, including magical effects. He acquires this information prior to performing the action or becoming associated with such an item if he 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
These appear to be like any other standard set of pipes with nothing to reveal their true nature. 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 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, 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 her a -2 penalty to attack rolls, skill checks, and saving throws (except when she is in a totally silent area). This hypersensitivity is a curse and therefore hard to remove (see the bestow curse spell).
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 can attract 1d6?10 dire rats (01-80 result on d%) or 3d6?10 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 he 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 cloth spun from the webs of a phase spider interwoven with strands of ether and beams of starlight. 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 (with gold, for example). 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: -.
Quaal’s 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.
Anchor: A token useful to moor a craft in water so as to render it immobile for up to one day.
Bird: A token that can be used to deliver a small written message unerringly to a designated target as would a carrier pigeon. The token lasts as long as it takes to carry the message.
Fan: A token that forms a huge flapping fan, causing a breeze of sufficient strength to propel one ship (about 25 mph). This wind is not cumulative with existing wind speed - if a severe wind is already blowing, this wind cannot be added to it to create a windstorm. The token can, however, be used to lessen existing winds, creating an area of relative calm or lighter winds (but wave size in a storm is not affected). The fan can be used up to 8 hours. It does not function on land.
Swan Boat: A token that forms a huge swanlike boat capable of moving on water at a speed of 60 feet. It can carry eight horses and gear or thirty-two Medium-size characters or any equivalent combination. The boat lasts for one day.
Tree: A token that causes a great oak to spring into being (6-foot-diameter trunk, 60-foot height, 40-foot top diameter). This is an instantaneous effect.
Whip: A token that forms into a huge leather whip and wields itself against any opponent desired just like a dancing weapon. The weapon has a +10 base attack bonus, does 1d6+1 points of base damage, has a +1 enhancement bonus to attacks and damage, and a makes a free grapple attack (at a +15 attack bonus) if it hits. The whip lasts no longer than 1 hour.
Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, major creation; Market Price: 50 gp (anchor), 300 gp (bird), 200 gp (fan), 450 gp (swan boat), 100 gp (tree), or 500 gp (whip); Weight: -.
Quiver of Ehlonna
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 (spears, staffs, etc.). Once the owner has filled it, she can command the quiver each round to produce any stored items she wishes.
Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Leomund’s secret chest; Market Price: 1,800 gp; Weight: -.
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 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 a “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, she 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 his surroundings. This allows her to add a +15 circumstance bonus to 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 normally.
Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, change self; Market Price: 10,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.
Robe of Eyes
This valuable garment appears to be a normal robe until it is put on. Its wearer is able to see in all directions at the same moment due to scores of visible, magical eyelike patterns that adorn the robe. She 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. She retains her Dexterity bonus to AC even when flat-footed and can’t be flanked. The wearer can’t avert her eyes from or close 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, color after color cascading from the upper part of the robe to the hem in sparkling rainbows 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
This garment is typically black or dark blue and embroidered with small white or silver 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:
d% Result -- ------
01-08 Bag of 100 gold pieces 09-15 Coffer, silver (6 in. by 6 in. by 1 ft.), 500 gp value 16-22 Door, iron (up to 10 ft. wide and 10 ft. high and barred on one side-must be placed upright, attaches and hinges itself) 23-30 Gems, 10 (100 gp value each) 31-44 Ladder, wooden (24 ft. long) 45-51 Mule (with saddle bags) 52-59 Pit, open (10 cubic ft.) 60-68 Potion of cure serious wounds 69-75 Rowboat (12 ft. long) 76-83 Minor scroll of one randomly determined spell 84-90 War dogs, pair (treat as riding dogs) 91-96 Window (2 ft. by 4 ft., up to 2 ft. deep) 97-100 Roll twice more
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 no thicker than a slender wand, but it 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
A rope of entanglement looks just like any other hemp rope about 30 feet long. 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 is fashioned from cured leather and fine silver. It 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 (such as finger of death). (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 he 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. Her 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
This pale amber substance is thick and viscous. Because of its particular powers, it 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
A stone of this nature is typically an oddly shaped bit of roughly polished rock. 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)
This stone is typically a bit of rough polished agate or some similar mineral. Its possessor 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: -.
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, he need check for continual control only every other round thereafter. If control is not established, the sphere moves toward him. 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.

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. Most such vestments are green, embroidered with plant or animal motifs. 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: A pair of these wings might appear to be nothing more than a plain cloak of old, black cloth, or they could be as elegant as a long cape of blue feathers. When the wearer speaks the command word, the cloak turns into a pair of gigantic wings (bat or bird, 20-foot span) and empower her to fly as with a fly spell [ERRATA anywhere wide enough to accomodate her wingspan].
Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fly; Market Price: [ERRATA: 22,500 gp]; Weight: 2 lb.
