Fill That Slot! [3.5]

[Koury]

Are you like me? Do you feel that something is missing in your life, but you can't quite figure out what it is?

Well you've come to the right place! This thread is all about filling that need, that desire that we all have. There's no shame in it, folks! We all, from time to time, have an empty slot that we can't seem to fill.

Here the entire community can help you Fill. That. Slot!

~*~*~

I'm looking to create a list of everybodys favorite gear, from Amulets of Health to Wings of Flying. I'll be sorting it by body slot. Please help me out by posting your favorite gear, including price, what book its in, and what type of character it is best for (TWF'er, Tripper, Wizard/Caster, etc). I'll be keeping these tables up to date.

NOTE: Tables can be sorted by clicking on the header.

[Lycanthromancer]

Don't forget the psychoactive skin slot!

As for that one, a psychoactive skin of proteus; useful for absolutely everyone that isn't VoP, though less so for a druid (all things considered).

Hands slot: a chakra-bound metamagic rod (+1 insight bonus to CL!). Casters only, obviously.

Head slot: a tie between headband of Int and a crown-bound shedu crown (100' telepathy!). [Mind-affecting], but useful to all classes for not-immune races.

Shoulders slot: A chakra-bound phase cloak (ethereality whenever you move more than 5'). Great Spectacular for scouts and mobile characters, as well as...well...just about anyone, I guess.

[Koury]

I'm unfamiliar with chakra-binding items. I guess I nee to go through my MoI a little better

However, yes, I do need to add an 'Other' table. Thanks for reminding me

[bartman]

I personally love the Artificer's Monocle. Combined with a warlock (Detect Magic at-will) and you can identify anything that comes your way for free. MIC for 1500 gp. good for any caster really

Are we including homebrewed items? If so, I made boots of continuous expeditious retreat. +30' enhancement to your base land speed all the time, gotta love it. 4000gp, good for anyone who wants to move faster

(My group is nowhere near the optimization level of some people on this forum. the most complex so far have been homebrewed vampires with a smaller LA)

[Koury]

Added a few items, including those suggested (minus the chakra-bound ones).

Keep em coming.

That, and it's a monocle, so you can't go wrong there.

Belt of Battle (MiC)
Wing Grafts (Fiendish, Fiend Folio, back of the book)
Ring Of Spell-holding
Glyph Seals (MiC)

When you have filled this out more, may I link to it from the test of spite? Item optimization is one of the main barriers to entry, in our experience.

Of course.

Also, by Ring of Spell-holding, do you mean Ring of Spell Storing? Or is that a different item?

[Doc Roc]

Storing, yeah.
The wings are probably the game's single best movement item other than a FoM item, for which there's Ring of FoM or Vest of free movement (MiC pg 198).

[Seffbasilisk]

Rings of Wizardry (Far too rare)
Ring of Deflection
Heartseeking Amulet
Steadfast Boots
Hat of Disguise
Rod of Surprises
Gloves of Dexterity
Monk's Belt

[Starbuck_II]

OOh, tooth slot. Tome of Magic has a new magic item slot: teeth.
You have to pull a tooth out, but it is a extra magic item slot.
1) They grant the Dwarfs ability to move in Meduim/heavy armor without reduction (2k).
2) Caster 20 GMW 1/day (21K)
3) Freedom of movement 1/day (10K)
4) Displacement 1/day (5k)
5) G. Invis 1/day (10K)
6) Fly 1/day (5K)
7) Command undead 3/day (10K)
8) Lesser Restoration 3/day (10K)
9) Expenditous Retreat at will (9K)

[EvilJoe15]

This is something that no caster should be without: +X Mythril Breastplate with Twilight property, and Thistledown padding. Now I know what your going to say, nonproficiency penalties. If you're worried that much about your to-hit, just cast true strike.

[Koury]

Rings updated, tooth slot added (though all I did was link to that post, really).

I'm working on the others, keep the suggestions coming in!

[jiriku]

Am I the only one who thinks both the title and the OP sound naughty?

At low to mid levels:

healing belt
anklet of translocation
hellcat gauntlets

And obviously:

ring of protection
cloak of resistance
items of +2/4/6 stat
amulet of natural armor

[Koury]

What'chu talkin' 'bout Jiriku?

anklet of translocation
hellcat gauntlets

And obviously:

cloak of resistance
items of +2/4/6 stat
amulet of natural armor

So, are the +stat items actually that good? I've always considered the Belt of Magnificence to be better then them, even with the marginal price increase.

And by price increase, I actually mean decrease for the +6 version.

[Lycanthromancer]

Ring of the Darkhidden: Permanently invisible to darkvision. Combine with a casting of darklight for cantrip-greater invisibility and 2000 gp.

Another graft from the Fiend Folio is the Strong Leg. +2 inherent bonus to Con, for 8,000 gp and being evil.

How about a Wand of Rary's mnemonic enhancer? 150 spell-levels, whenever you want 'em.

It's not a magic item, but a Bullseye Lantern. Combine with pyrotechnics and blind your foes in a 120' cone without blinding your team.

Oh, and a Tinfoil Hat. And possibly shoes.

What book?

[Lycanthromancer]

What book?

Magic Item Compendium.

[Koury]

Thanks

And do grafts take slots, or are they filed under 'Other'?

Also, what is the price of the wing graft, if you know.

[Sinfire Titan]

A fiendish feathered wing graft is 10,000 gp.

It comes from Quetzovercoatl, the feathered boa.

I do not know off the top of my head. Filed under other.

[Koury]

I still have nothing for the Arms slot (bracers and such) or the Torso slot (vests and robes, not armor).

A lot of the others only have 1.

So, if you were a level 10 wizard, what would you fill your arm slot with? A level 15 fighter looking for a face slot? Rogue with nothing in his head slot?

All suggestions appreciated!

[the humanity]

sandals of striding and springing, DMG?

also, Cloak of the Mountebank (DMG) is just cool.

Helm of Glorious Recovery helps me out too with melee guys. MIC.

[Lycanthromancer]

For arms? Astral Vambraces.

And the best part is that they don't cost a single copper piece.

[gdiddy]

I misread this thread title and now there is coffee everywhere.

EVERYWHERE.


Oh, and Ring of Forcewall is pretty key to my late game fun if I'm not a caster.

[DragoonWraith]

Rings of Arcane Might and Spellbattle are both excellent (Complete Mage, 20,000 gp and 23,250 gp, respectively; the first is arcane-only, the second for any caster [actually, a non-spellcaster who can make a DC 15 Spellcraft check could also do well with one...])

[ryzouken]

Arms: Bracers of Armor, Greater Bracers of Archery.
Ring: Evasion for those who couldn't/didn't fit in their levels
Shoulders: Phoenix Cloak. all day perfect flight at my land speed? Deal.

[Koury]

Rings of Arcane Might and Spellbattle

Any per day/charge limits?
