Twice a day as a full-round action you may make a Diplomacy check to alter an NPC’s attitude toward you without suffering the normal –10 penalty for doing so (normally, such checks take a minimum of one minute).

As a result of the tall heel, if you take a run action in these, you only go three time (x3) your movement rate (rather than the normal x4).

As a free action, you can mentally command your gauntlets to help you don your armor. The metal flies off the gauntlets (leaving their leather backing to protect your hands), and swirls around an unattended suit of armor of your choice. They proceed to grab the armor and strap it expertly to your body, leaving you free to do other things. As soon as the gauntlets begin their work you suffer the full armor check penalty, arcane spell failure, and maximum Dexterity of your armor (while the armor isn’t fully on at first, the metal swirling around you gets in the way).

The gauntlets can put on your armor in the amount of time it normally takes to don hastily with help. They do this even if you are moving around and taking other actions (even fighting). The gauntlets work to protect your most vital regions first, causing your armor to grant you some bonus before it is fully donned. To figure how much bonus you get each round, determine how many rounds it takes to don your armor with help. Subtract your armor’s armor bonus from the number of rounds it takes to don. This is the number of rounds it takes to gain one point of armor bonus. Each round afterward, you gain one additional point of armor bonus, until you reach your full bonus, at which time your armor is fully donned.

For example, a knight with a suit of banded mail owns a pair of armiger’s gauntlets. It takes him 10 rounds (1 minute) to fully don his armor. Since his armor gives him a +6 armor bonus, he gains one point of armor bonus on the fourth round (10 rounds –6 armor bonus). Each round, the knight gains one additional point of armor bonus from his armor until round 10, when the armor is fully donned and grants his full +6 armor bonus.

The gauntlets can also remove your armor in the time it normally takes to remove it with help.

An armored shielding mantle grants a +2 shield bonus to AC and counts as light armor. It does not have any armor check penalty or maximum Dexterity bonus, but does have a 5% arcane spell failure and counts as metal light armor for purposes of special abilities and classes affected by such considerations.

When sprinkled on a corpse or an inanimate skeleton, it causes the dead flesh and bones to disintegrate into a fine brown powder similar to that left by a disintegrate spell.

Assassin’s dust comes in a small vial suitable for treating eight Small corpses, four Medium corpses, or one Large corpse. A skeletal corpse counts as half a corpse of its size.

This dust has no effect on living or undead creatures.

Basic wands are among the simplest forms of spell engine available and grant access to any one school at CL 2nd; schools with bonus feat choices (such as Geomancy) only have one of these bonus feats.

Most of these spell engines are referred to by the sphere they contain, such as basic destruction wand.

While still a little too expensive for most first-time adventurers, these are often put up on display for people who come in with pockets flush from their first big haul of treasure.

Basic Destruction, Protection, Telekinesis, and Warp spell engines are particularly popular. Spell engines normally require knowledge of the base sphere to use, and anyone who knows a basic school probably does not need this item, so activating a basic wand typically requires a DC 20 Use Magic Device check.

By an act of will, the belt can be made longer or shorter, round and blunt or edged, and remain flexible or become hard as iron. The combination of these changes allows the belt to function as any of a number of tools or weapons. Changing the belt from one item to another takes a move action, as it may include wrapping the belt around a hand, or folding or stretching it into a specific shape.

A belt of many uses can change length, rigidity and sharpness to act as a basket, chain (10 ft.), crowbar, grappling hook (and up to 30 ft. or rope), manacles (masterwork), piton (just one), pole (10 ft.), portable ram, rope (50 ft., silk), blowgun, bolas, club, dagger, gauntlet, spiked chain, punching dagger, spiked gauntlet, javelin, light hammer, light flail, light mace, light pick, nunchaku, spear, short sword, whip, or buckler.

As a standard action you can create the sound of up to four booted sets of feet walking, running, or marching away from you. The sound travels from where you are to any point up to 30 feet away, and lasts up to two rounds. For the round you activate the boots and the next round, you gain a +2 bonus to all Stealth checks.

While wearing these you gain a 10 ft. enhancement bonus to your movement rate if you are wearing armor that encumbers as medium or heavy armor, or if you are in medium or heavy encumbrance. Thus, while wearing these boots, a human in leather armor carrying a heavy load, an elf in a mithral breastplate, or a dwarf in full plate armor all have a 30-ft. movement rate.

This clear glass bottle appears to be full of wine, but no matter how much is poured out it never empties. Most people thus consider it far superior to its cousin, the decanter of endless water.

Speaking a command word when uncorking the bottle determines whether the wine is red or white, but the quality is always average. Quality, however, is sometimes less important than quantity.

When worn, the wearer's hands become tacky, enabling the user to climb on vertical surfaces or even upside down along ceilings. Her climb speed is 20 feet. Severely slippery surfaces—icy, oiled, or greased surfaces—make these bracers useless. The bracers can be used for 10 minutes per day, split up as the wearer chooses (minimum 1 minute per use).

A brightmote ring can be activated as a standard action, creating a glowing mote of light as bright as a torch. The light moves as directed by the wearer (no concentration needed), though it must stay within 110 feet of the ring wearer. The light lasts until it exceeds this range, or is dispelled by the ring wearer (a free action).

When the command word is spoken, it expands into a fully functional kitchen, complete with cookware, cutlery, and fireplace. (The chef must supply any actual food.) Speaking the command word again collapses the kitchen into a small trunk easily carried in one hand. The collapsible kitchen cannot be collapsed while any small-sized or larger creatures are inside. (Smaller creatures, such as rats, are simply expelled. Many chefs find this to be one of the best features.)

A cast iron collapsible kitchen creates a medium workspace (ten feet square) with a decent array of cookware, sufficient for an average eatery.

This small wooden chest comes in a variety of sizes and shapes, most of which easily fit on the back of a horse. Physically, the chest is just a chest, but an enchantment keeps anything inside cold to preserve its freshness. Most chests come with a small rune on the inside that can be adjusted to control the exact temperature.

Physically, the chest is just a chest, but an enchantment keeps anything inside cold to preserve its freshness. Most chests come with a small rune on the inside that can be adjusted to control the exact temperature.

The circlet can be activated once per day by touching it as a standard action. For the next two minutes, if a speaker is within 30 ft., you can discern whether they are speaking truth or falsehood. If they speak falsehood, you do not learn the truth, and you cannot discern exactly which words were false, just that the statement as a whole was.

Twice per day, your cloak can grab any surface and begin climbing for you, hauling you along for the ride. You can climb 20 feet in any direction as a move action, but cannot climb further even as a full round action.

You don’t provoke attacks of opportunity by climbing this way (though you do for moving out of a threatened space while climbing, as you normally would). Your hands are free while you climb, you retain your Dexterity bonus to AC, and can act or attack normally.

The cloak is active for three minutes each time it is used, so it’s best to find a safe place to alight before the duration runs out.

While wearing this cloak, you gain the ability to once per day smite a single foe type of foe. The type (or subtype if humanoid) of creature is chosen upon creation of the claok.

The smite must be made as part of a melee weapon attack. You gain a bonus to your attack roll equal to your Charisma bonus and a bonus on weapon damage equal to your level.

Once per day you can cause the majority of this cloak to tear free, leaving just scraps of it around your shoulders. Doing this gives you a +10 bonus to a single Escape Artist check.

If this check is successful, you go free while whatever you escaped is left holding the cloth torn from your cloak. A round after you escape, the detached portion disintegrates. Over the course of the next 24 hours the remaining scraps grow back into a full cloak.

While wearing this cloak, you gain the ability to once per day smite a single foe type of foe. The type (or subtype if humanoid) of creature is chosen upon creation of the claok.

The smite must be made as part of a melee weapon attack. You gain a bonus to your attack roll equal to your Charisma bonus and a bonus on weapon damage equal to your level.

Once per day, you can pry a single silver piece from the buckle of this belt. You must wear the belt for 8 hours before you can get a silver piece from it, and you can never remove more than one silver piece in a single 24 hour period.

Only living, thinking creatures under their own will can use this item. It does not function for constructs, undead, spell effects, summoned creatures, creatures with an Intelligence of less than 8, or those under enchantment spells.

When you wear the comfort sash, you suffer no harm from being in a hot or cold environment. You can exist comfortably in conditions between -50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-45 and 60 degrees Celsius) without having to make Fortitude saves. Your equipment is likewise protected.

Endure elements doesn’t provide any protection from fire or cold damage, nor does it protect against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth.

When the command word is spoken, it expands into a fully functional kitchen, complete with cookware, cutlery, and fireplace. (The chef must supply any actual food.) Speaking the command word again collapses the kitchen into a small trunk easily carried in one hand. The collapsible kitchen cannot be collapsed while any small-sized or larger creatures are inside. (Smaller creatures, such as rats, are simply expelled. Many chefs find this to be one of the best features.)

A copper collapsible kitchen unfolds into a large (thirty feet square) kitchen containing a large oven, several hearths, an array of counters and tables, and essentially any cooking implement a chef could ask for (and several that defy known function).

A copper kitchen also includes up to four invisible servants to serve as assistants. This kitchen suffices for feeding nobility, but preparing meals for kings, emperors, and other royalty requires multiple such kitchens working in concert to make an adequate meal.

Once per day, as a standard action, you can whip off the cummerbund and have it turn into a viper or a giant centipede. The creature obeys your commands to the best of its ability, and remains in its animate form for ten rounds or until killed. If slain, it returns to its cloth state and can be used again the next day.

If it is thrown into acid, a volume of as much as 10 gallons is instantly transformed into nothingness, and the dust becomes a marble sized pellet floating or resting where it was thrown.

If this pellet is hurled, it breaks and releases the same volume of acid, dealing 1d6 points of acid damage per gallon absorbed into the pellet (maximum 4d6), affecting all creatures within a 30-foot radius of its point of impact. This is a splash weapon.

If the dust is used against an ooze that deals acid damage with its attacks, the creature must make a DC 18 Fortitude save or be destroyed. The dust deals 5d6 points of damage to the ooze even if its saving throw succeeds.

A single handful of this substance flung into the air coats objects within a 10-foot radius, making them visible even if they are invisible. It likewise negates the effects of blur and displacement. In this, it works just like the faerie fire spell. The dust also reveals figments, mirror images, and projected images for what they are.

A creature coated with the dust takes a –30 penalty on its Stealth checks.

The dust’s effect lasts for 5 minutes.

An object or creature coated with this purple dust completely ceases to give off any smell or scent. Attempting to locate such a creature using scent is impossible. A tracker attempting to locate a scentless creature is instead positive that his quarry has headed in another direction entirely.

The tracker may follow the false scent for 1d4 miles before the false scent is lost.

This shimmering black dust causes one creature to be coated in a layer of darkness for 1 minute.

In normal light, the creature gains concealment (20% miss chance). In dim light, the creature gains total concealment (50% miss chance). It has no effect in areas of bright light or darkness (though in bright light, a viewer can make a DC 20 Perception check to notice the target is slightly shadowed).

Creatures with darkvision see through the dust’s darkness as if it were normal darkness.

The dust dispels and counters the outlining effects of glitterdust, but doesn’t affect the spell’s blinding effects. Glitterdust dispels and counters the effects of the dust of darkness.

This special dust has many uses.

If it is thrown into water, a volume of as much as 100 gallons is instantly transformed into nothingness, and the dust becomes a marble-sized pellet, floating or resting where it was thrown.

If this pellet is hurled, 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 an outsider with the elemental and water subtypes, the creature must make a DC 18 Fortitude save or be destroyed. The dust deals 5d6 points of damage to the creature even if its saving throw succeeds.

A creature coated with this glittering golden dust can interact with any one item or object as if she had successfully used the Use Magic Device skill to emulate a class feature or race (if the exact result of the check matters, treat the character’s result as a 25).

If the user of the dust does not mentally select the intended item or object while coating herself with the dust, the magic of the dust applies to the first eligible object she encounters.

She can apply the result of this automatic check when dealing with the item or object for 1 hour after exposure to the dust.

An inanimate object coated with this shimmering yellow dust gains some semblance of life and the ability to fly. The object is entirely under the control of the creature who sprinkled it with dust, and will follow the creature’s verbal commands in any language.

A single use of dust is enough to cover a single object which can fit entirely into a 5ft. by 5ft. by 5ft. cube – such as a chair, a broomstick, a small table, or a rolled up rug. The animated object can carry up to 500 pounds. Multiple uses of the dust may be applied to cover larger objects.

The effects of the dust dissipate without warning in 2d12 hours, often catching its user by surprise.

If sprinkled on a plant, the plant experiences one day’s healthy growth for every ten seconds that pass. When the dust expires after 1 hour, the plant will have experienced 1 year’s worth of growth.

Dust of rapid growth may be used to impart Fast Healing 1 to a creature with the plant type for 1 hour.

Tossing a handful of this dust into the air causes a chamber of up to 100 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 handful of dust sprinkled along a trail causes evidence of the passage of as many as a dozen men and horses to be obliterated for 250 feet back into the distance. The results of the dust are instantaneous, and no magical aura lingers afterward from this use of the dust. Survival checks made to track a quarry across an area affected by this dust have a DC 20 higher than normal.

A newly-crafted flask of the dust contains enough powder for 10 applications if poured out carefully, or the whole container can be thrown as a splash weapon with a range increment of 10 feet.

One application of the dust sprinkled over an object increases the target’s weight by 100 pounds. Multiple applications stack, and the effect remains until the object is scrubbed clean of the metallic particles (taking a full-round action per application) or it takes 5 points of electricity damage per application.

A creature struck directly with a thrown flask must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1 per application remaining in the flask) or gain heavy encumbrance and be unable to fly for 2d4 rounds.

Targets in the splash area must save or gain medium encumbrance for 2d4 rounds. Scrubbing or electricity damage neutralizes the thrown powder as noted above.

Once per day, as a standard action, a creature can activate these bracelets to create an aegis on 3 allies who are within 35 feet for 4 minutes.

This aegis grants energy resistance 14 to one of the following elements, chosen when the item is activated and applying to all creatures that benefit from the aegis: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic damage. This only absorbs damage and may not protect from other side-effects.

The energy resistance granted by this item overlaps (and does not stack with) any existing energy resistance.

Once per day the wearer of this armor can mentally trigger a speed-boosting enchantment which lasts for 4 minutes.

The wearer gains the ability to make an extra attack at its highest BAB whenever it makes a full attack action. This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a speed weapon.

In addition the wearer received a 30 feet enhancement bonus (to a maximum of twice the subject’s normal speed) to all forms of movement, and a +1 bonus to attack rolls, as well as a +1 Dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.

Once per day, as a standard action, a wearer can activate an energy converter to create an immobile spherical field with a radius of 10 feet and select one energy type from the following list: acid, cold, electricity, or fire.

For one round, all damage from magical or supernatural sources that’s of the damage types on that list and that passes through or affects anything within the field becomes the type of damage selected.

This large, cast-iron pot caters to those without much time, especially busy adventurers-on-the-go. One need only throw in several ingredients, close the lid, and let the pot simmer for ten minutes to prepare a fully cooked meal. An expeditious pot can only make simple dishes like stew and porridge; trying anything more complicated only results in very complicated stew.

While wearing this item, you may activate a slow-fall ability on yourself as a reaction. The wearer falls slowly. The effect instantly changes the rate at which the wearer falls to a mere 60 feet per round (equivalent to the end of a fall from a few feet), and the wearer take no damage upon landing while the spell is in effect.

While wearing this armored belt, you can ignore the first 4 points of Strength drain or damage you suffer each day. After you have ignored a total of 4 points of combined Strength drain or damage in a given day, you suffer all further Strength drains and damage normally.

This item is stiff and thick enough to cause you to take a –1 armor check penalty when unarmored (though it does not count as armor for purposes of abilities that can only be used when unarmored, nor does it have any arcane spell failure). However, if you are wearing any other armor with at least a –1 armor check penalty, the penalty from the fighter’s gird does not stack (it covers many of the same areas, thus creating no further hindrance when combined with other armor).

A folding cart looks like a small wooden box about 6 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 2 inches deep when it is inactive. In this mode, it can be used to store items just like any other box.

Yet when the proper command word is given, the box unfolds itself rapidly in the space of a single round to form a Large chariot weighing 200 lbs.

A second command word causes it to unfold even further into a Huge carriage weighing 600 lbs.

The folding cart cannot unfold if there isn’t enough open space for it to occupy once unfolded. Any objects formerly stored in the box now rest inside the chariot or carriage.

A third word of command causes the chariot or carriage to fold itself into a box once again, but only when it is unoccupied.

As a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity, the wearer of these gauntlets can make a ranged trip maneuver, with a range increment of 10 feet (to a maximum range of 50 feet).

The wearer cannot be knocked prone as a result of failing trip maneuvers he makes with these gloves. This counts as a force effect, striking incorporeal targets normally. You may make this ranged trip attack against any creature, no matter what its size.

These gauntlets grant you a +1 enhancement bonus to attack rolls with spells, and +1 to hp damage rolls with spells that require attack rolls.

These bonuses cannot be used with spells delivered through weapon attacks or combined with weapon attacks in any way, nor do the damage bonuses apply to any spell that does not require an attack roll.

If a spell can affect multiple targets, only a single point of additional damage is done (select one target to take one additional point of damage).

When thrown, it creates a variety of effects intended to aid in a speedy escape.

First, all those within a 20-ft. radius are subject to an invisibility spell (DC 12, harmless) which ends at the end of their next turns.

Second, all creatures within a 20-ft. radius may teleport up to 30 feet to any point they can see at their choosing.

Third, a fog cloud appears, as per the fog cloud spell, to a 20-ft. radius with a duration of 2 rounds.

While wearing the girdle of greenland whispers, you can hear soft voices coming from plantlife around you. The voices do not respond to questions you may ask, but do endlessly murmur about what can be seen and heard near them. Only you can hear these whispers, and they do not distract you from hearing other noises.

If there is enough plantlife in the area, these whispers can aid you in concealing yourself, and finding other things nearby. This grants you a +5 bonus to Perception and Stealth checks in forest, jungle, and swamp terrains.

When wearing the set, you may hold a staff in the right-hand glove and have it disappear. When this happens, a tiny, glowing glowing icon of the staff appears on the left glove in the form of embroidery. A maximum of four staves at a time may be may be stored in this manner.

When wearing both gloves, as a swift action you may summon any of the staves stored in the left-hand glove to the righthand glove of staves. You may only do this when the right hand is holding nothing or is holding a staff. If the hand is holding a staff, that staff is transformed into an icon on the left glove.

Note that the glowing staff icons can also be removed by grabbing the edge of the icon and pulling, which is the same as pulling a staff out of a pack (a move action that provokes an attack of opportunity). Others may also remove the staves in this manner, an action which is treated as identical to the act of removing an item from someone else’s pack. They can even be the target of a sunder attempt. In essence the stored staves are reduced to tiny replicas rather than shunted off to some extradimensional space.

When wearing the set, you may hold a sword in the right-hand glove and have it disappear. When this happens, a tiny, glowing glowing icon of the sword appears on one of the plates on the left glove in the form of an inscription. A maximum of four swords at a time may be may be stored in this manner.

When wearing both gloves, as a swift action you may summon any of the swords stored in the left-hand glove to the righthand glove of swords. You may only do this when the right hand is holding nothing or is holding a sword. If the hand is holding a sword, that sword is transformed into an icon on the left glove.

Note that the glowing sword icons can also be removed by grabbing the plate of the icon and pulling, which is the same as pulling a sword out of a pack (a move action that provokes an attack of opportunity). Others may also remove the sword in this manner, an action which is treated as identical to the act of removing an item from someone else’s pack. They can even be the target of a sunder attempt. In essence the stored swords are reduced to tiny replicas rather than shunted off to some extradimensional space.

This goggles look like simple goggles used by fliers, but closer inspection reveals that the glasses can be rotated. Moving both glasses to the right position provides the effects of the standard divine effect of the Divination sphere. The effect persists until the user ceases concentration, after which both glasses snap back to their original position.

These goggles can be used 3 times per day.

While wearing these, undead are unlikely to see you as a threat, instead treating you as one of their own. The undead see and hear you, but don’t think of you as something to be feared, hated, or attacked unless you prove otherwise.

Any unintelligent undead automatically ignore you unless you act against them.

Intelligent undead receive a DC 11 Will save to act normally when they first see you, but if that save fails, they also ignore you until you take some offensive action, or a day passes (granting the intelligent undead a new save).

Once per day, you can pour out the water in a growing can to create a field of ivy, vines, and general plant cover on the ground. This field has a radius of 10 feet.

This is an instantaneous effect and the plants remain on the ground, but may die quickly if the terrain is unsuitable for supporting them. The can refills itself each morning and the water never spills out unless intentionally poured.

Once per day you may activate the guard stole as a standard action. It is active for three hours. If you are attacked during that time, the first attack that would deal damage to you is partially intercepted by the guard stole (which moves to interpose itself), and deals 8 fewer hit points than normal (minimum 0). Once the stole has used this ability, it becomes inanimate again.

When the wearer takes the total defense full-round action, the hands of a thousand blocks cause the wearer to block, duck, parry, and evade attacks with great skill.

This grants a +2 dodge bonus for 1 round (like all dodge bonuses, this stacks with the +4 dodge bonus granted by using total defense). If the wearer has both hands free (holding nothing) the bonus is instead a +4 dodge bonus to AC.

The gloves show dirt, blood, and other materials easily, though they also clean themselves one minute after being soiled with such stains.

When wearing these gloves, as a standard action you can touch a creature, object, or area to determine if it has been diseased or is infectious. You can determine the exact type of disease with a DC 20 Wisdom check.

A character with ranks in the Heal skill may try a DC 20 Heal check (as an additional standard action) if the Wisdom check fails.

This +1 Life magical implement looks like a giant tube with a plunger on one side and a sharp needle on the other.

In addition to its functions as an implement, the healer’s staff also functions as a flask of the dawn, except that it can directly inject the healing serum into targets if the wielder makes a successful melee attack with the healer’s staff (this does no damage to the target).

When you take a full attack action to attack a single foe in melee combat, you may add a single kick attack with these boots. This attack is made at your highest attack bonus, and deals 1d6 points of damage plus your Strength modifier on a successful attack. This attack counts as an armed attack with which you are proficient. This attack may not be used to perform a combat maneuver.

Once per day, you can pry a single copper piece from the buckle of this belt. You must wear the belt for 8 hours before you can get a copper piece from it, and you can never remove more than one copper piece in a single 24 hour period.

Only living, thinking creatures under their own will can use this item. It does not function for constructs, undead, spell effects, summoned creatures, creatures with an Intelligence of less than 8, or those under enchantment spells.

Inspiring crests are enchanted works of art often affixed to the insides of shields, the bottoms of gauntlets, or other areas where they can be quickly glanced at during battle.

Once per day, as an immediate action, you can look at the inspiring crest to gain a +2 competence bonus to a skill check or an attack roll you have already made. This can change the result, but must be done after rolling and before the result is revealed.
