The
Treasure Trove
Magic
Items
Listed here
are some of the enchanted items appearing in previous Saltwave Campaign
adventures. These items do not appear in the DMG, Magic of Faerun, Tome
and Blood, or other officially published sources. Most, if not all, are
unique items not found in the catalogs of wizardly colleges and libraries.
Formula for each of these items is available to members of the Landers
Royal Academy of Magic and Science or the University of Voyreem for a
price (as a scroll of the caster level x (sum of spell levels included
in the item's powers) x 25 gp).
Potions
Potion
of Shielding
Gives you a +2 deflection bonus to armor class, as the spell shield
of faith, for 3 minutes. Caster level: 3rd, Prerequisites: Brew Potion,
shield of faith, Market price: 150 gp.
Rings
Ring
of Dispatch
Gives the user the power to magically seal and cast teleport object
upon a small item (no more than 8 oz.) three times per day. Only the designated
recipient will be able to open a sealed item without destroying it, unless
knock, dispel magic, or another scouring spell is applied. Best used for
sending messages and other such things. Caster level: 5th, Prerequisites:
Forge Ring, teleport or teleport object, Market price: 18,000
gp.
Ring
of Spell Conversion
(aka Ring of Focusing, Ring of Spell Swapping)
May only be used by those able to prepare and cast arcane spells. This
ring allows the user to substitute one of the ring's spell formulae for
a prepared spell in time of need. When the wizard begins casting any prepared
spell, he may use the ring to convert it into one of the spells of the
same or lower level impressed within the ring. He may do this as often
as desired. The ring usually comes with these spells impressed: magic
missle, mirror image, fireball, dimension door.
Other rings may contain any four 1st through 4th level spells. Caster
level: 9th, Prerequisites: Forge Ring, Rary's mnemonic enhancer, Market
Price: 36,000 gp.
Ring
of the Mind Fortress
A Mind Fortress ring gives the wearer immunity from telepathic attack,
contact, and influence by psionics or magic. This includes, but is not
limited to, domination, psionic attack modes, and all telepathic sciences
and disciplines. It does not include such magics as charm, hold, suggestion,
or beguiling, as these are mostly verbal, and not telepathic in nature.
It will also prevent telepathic communication, such as a sending
or dream speech, from reaching the wearer while worn. Caster level:
16th, Prerequisites: Forge Ring, mind blank, Market price: 128,000 gp.
Ring
of Minor Wizardry
This useful ring allows its wearer to cast prestidigitation and
light as a standard action. It is self-identifying and may be used
by anyone who uses the mental command trigger. Caster level: 3rd, Prerequisites:
Forge Ring, light, prestidigitation, Market price: 3,000 gp.
Ring
of Shielding
The Ring of Shielding negates magic missle attacks against the wearer
and provides damage resistance 10/+1 against missles, as the protection
from arrows spell. Caster level: 3rd, Prerequisites: Forge Ring, shield,
protection from arrows, Market price: 16,500 gp.
Staves and Wands
Staff

owner. It is a +3 quarterstaff in its usual form, and has the following
powers.

magic, light, prestidigitation, read magic.

affecting one extraplanar creature within 60 ft. A Will save (DC 18,
modified by the HD of the creature and the caster level of the staff)
negates the effect (PHB, p. 196).

gp.
Wondrous Items
Amulet
of Harmlessness
This amulet causes the person wearing it to appear harmless and inoffensive
to foes. Potential opponents will not attack the wearer until they have
dealt with all other targets, as they regard the amulet wearer as no threat.
Creatures affected do not lose track of the wearer, but consider his or
her activities to be harmless, unless proven otherwise. The power of the
amulet is negated for the duration of the encounter when the wearer takes
an offensive action. The amulet cannot influence creatures immune to mind-affecting
magic. It functions continuously unless disrupted by offensive action.
Its power returns again 2d4 minutes later. Caster level: 5th, Prerequisites:
Craft Wondrous Item, charm person, suggestion, Market Price: 10,000 gp.
Armor
Vest
While appearing to be a simple, but stylish, article of clothing, this
magical vest provides excellent armor protection to its wearer. It confers
an armor bonus to AC as bracers of armor, and at nearly the same cost.
The vest conforms to the size and appearance that its user desires. Caster
level, prerequisites, and market price as bracers of armor of equivalent
bonus +1,000 gp.
Boots
of Upright Stature
When wearing these boots, a person will never fall down or sink into mud,
soft ground, or sand. This is no protection against quicksand or liquid,
but if it is at all possible for the wearer to retain his balance and
avoid the peril, he will do so. Caster level: 3rd, Prerequisites: Craft
Wondrous Item, feather fall, Market Price: 2,000 gp.
Bracelet
of Scrying
This bracelet has a large cloudy crystal set into the back of the wrist.
This crystal allows a wizard to scry as if using a crystal ball. When
in use, the crystal is clear and shows the scene being scried. The item
takes up the bracers slot on the user's body. Caster level: 10th, Prerequisites:
Craft Wondrous Item, scrying, Market price: 42,000 gp.
Foxdarter
(rare item - formula only available from Alexander Fuchs)
The standard foxdarter is a special magical ranged weapon. It takes the
form of a small pistol-like wand that is easily held and aimed with a
single hand. It is a tiny-sized weapon activated by mental command words.
The foxdarter is usually made from exotic hardwood or metal and set with
a large 5,000 gp ruby in the firing end. The foxdarter emits teardrop
shaped pulses of force—orange at the blunt forward end and tapering
to a white trailing point, much like a stylized fox's tail. The user must
succeed with a ranged touch attack to hit the target. Success causes damage
according to the power of the weapon.

2d4+2, market price: 8,100 gp, cost to create: 6,350 gp + 108 xp.

At the option
of the user, the foxbolter can deal subdual (stun) damage, instead of
lethal force damage. Stun pulses are nearly transparent, instead of orange.
Changing between lethal and subdual damage is a free action. The foxbolter
self-identifies to its user, informing him of its powers and command words.
As an item requiring a hit roll, the foxdarter may be used to sneak attack
targets, and its wielder benefits from feats like Point-blank Shot (and
related missle feats), Weapon Focus (rays), and Weapon Specialization
(if applicable). The foxdarter threatens a critical hit on a natural 20
and allows multiple attacks with a full attack action, if the user has
a sufficiently high base attack bonus.
Caster level:
as above, Prerequisites: Enhance Spell (for e-version only), Craft Wondrous
Item, Subdual Substitution, foxdarts I (for I-IV) or foxdarts II (for
V-X), market price: as above, cost to create: as above. The 5,000 gp ruby
boosts the effective caster level by +2, allowing the crafter to pay more
in materials costs in exchange for a reduced XP cost. Foxdarters with
50 charges, instead of unlimited uses, cost half as much on the market,
half as many XP, and (((cost to create - 5,000 gp) x 50%) + 5,000 gp)
to create.
Glyph-Handling
Gloves
(aka Gloves of Portal Safety)
These gloves are light and finely tailored. When wearing these magical
gloves, the user will be able to bypass any magical locks, traps, glyphs,
symbols, and other wards on things he wishes to open. The magic protections
on the item or portal remain in effect, and are not dispelled, but will
be as if they did not exist for the person who wears the gloves. The gloves
may be used as often as desired. They do not reveal the presence of the
protections they bypass, so the user may never know that a particular
trap is present. They give no power at all over non-magical locks or traps.
Caster level: 12th, Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, antimagic field,
Market price: 144,000 gp.
Handkerchief
of Health
Remains always clean and fresh, with a pleasant scent of a fresh spring
breeze. It provides the effect of a cure disease spell (as a preventive
measure) when carried and used regularly. Caster level: 5th, Prerequisites:
Craft Wondrous Item, remove disease, Market price: 7,500 gp.
Medal
of Valor
This is a decoration such as a valiant knight, military officer, or high
official might wear on a dress uniform. When worn openly, it protects
the wearer against the effects of magical fear and charm. Caster level:
3rd, Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, remove fear, Market price: 5,000
gp.
Pouch
of Voluminous Capacity
The inside of this pouch is the equivalent of a 5' x 3' x 2' steamer trunk
in volume (30 cubic feet). Items called forth by a person who knows the
command word appear instantly in his or her hands. Caster level: 10th,
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Leomund's chest, Market price: 12,000
gp.
Shoes
of Walking through Walls
These shoes allow the wearer to walk through solid matter for 10 rounds
per day at its normal movement rate. The user gains no special powers
of vision, so may be unable to see where he is going while within the
walls. Caster level: 5th, Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, meld with
stone, Market price: 15,000 gp.
Underclothes
of Defense
These underclothes are styled for comfort and are intended for wear under
ordinary (or magical) outer clothing. When worn together, these garments
provide an armor bonus to AC as bracers of armor, and at the same cost.
They are not cumulative with other items that give an armor bonus (except
for a shield), but remain light, clean, and comfortable in almost any
weather. Caster level, prerequisites, and market price as bracers of armor
of equivalent bonus +1,000 gp.
