Simple Light Thrown Melee Critical: 19-20/x2 Range: 10 ft Type: Piercing or Slashing Hardness: 10 Size: Medium Damage: 1d4

• Dagger
  • You get a +2 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks made to conceal a dagger on your body.
  • A dagger does either piercing or slashing damage (player’s choice at time of attack).
• Alchemical Silver
  • A complex process involving metallurgy and alchemy can bond silver to a weapon made of steel so that it bypasses the damage reduction of creatures such as lycanthropes.
  • On a successful attack with a silvered weapon, the wielder takes a –1 penalty on the damage roll (with the usual minimum of 1 point of damage). The alchemical silvering process can’t be applied to nonmetal items, and it doesn’t work on rare metals such as adamantine, cold iron, and mithral.
  • Alchemical silver has 10 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 8.

Ammunition - Hardness: 5 Size: Medium

• An arrow used as a melee weapon is treated as a light improvised weapon (–4 penalty on attack rolls) and deals damage as a dagger of its size (critical multiplier ×2). Arrows come in a leather quiver that holds 20 arrows. An arrow that hits its target is destroyed; one that misses has a 50% chance of being destroyed or lost.

Martial Two-Handed Melee Critical: 19-20/x2 Range: -- Type: Piercing or Slashing Hardness: 10 Size: Medium Damage: 2d6

• Greatsword
• Cold Iron
  • This iron, mined deep underground, known for its effectiveness against fey creatures, is forged at a lower temperature to preserve its delicate properties. Weapons made of cold iron cost twice as much to make as their normal counterparts. Also, any magical enhancements cost an additional 2,000 gp.
  • Cold iron has 30 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 10.

Martial Two-Handed Projectile Critical: x3 Range: 70 ft Type: Piercing Hardness: 5 Size: Medium Damage: 1d8

• Composite Longbow
  • You need at least two hands to use a bow, regardless of its size. You can use a composite shortbow while mounted. All composite bows are made with a particular strength rating (that is, each requires a minimum Strength modifier to use with proficiency). If your Strength bonus is lower than the strength rating of the composite bow, you can’t effectively use it, so you take a –2 penalty on attacks with it. The default composite shortbow requires a Strength modifier of +0 or higher to use with proficiency. A composite shortbow can be made with a high strength rating to take advantage of an above-average Strength score; this feature allows you to add your Strength bonus to damage, up to the maximum bonus indicated for the bow. Each point of Strength bonus granted by the bow adds 75 gp to its cost.
• +3 Strength Rating

Simple Light Thrown Melee Critical: 19-20/x2 Range: 10 ft Type: Piercing or Slashing Hardness: 10 Size: Medium Damage: 1d4

• A dagger does either piercing or slashing damage (player’s choice at time of attack).

Attached to Silk Rope

This animated grappling hook seeks out the best place to secure a rope.
Description: When dormant, a grasping hook appears to be a mithral grappling hook delicately sculpted to resemble the claw of a dragon, with three main claws jutting out and a fourth opposable claw curled in at the palm. When the command word is spoken, the hook springs to life. All four claws begin moving, and it can move by using the claws as tiny legs.
Activation: A single command word activates a grasping hook. Speaking the word once causes the hook to animate and immediately seek the nearest secure object that it can grasp. Speaking the word a second time causes the hook to release its grasp immediately and resume its dormant position.
Effect: When a grasping hook is tied to silk rope, you can throw it as a standard mithral grappling hook. However, you can also speak the command word (a free action) as you throw the hook to cause it to animate. The hook then tries to grab onto the nearest secure object, granting a +6 competence bonus on your Use Rope check to seat it properly. A grasping hook has a Strength of 25 and can hold 1,600 pounds when grasping a secure object or terrain feature. You can cause a hook to release its grasp by speaking the command word again.

If a hammer is used in combat, treat it as a one-handed improvised weapon that deals bludgeoning damage equal to that of a spiked gauntlet of its size.

  • Weapons and armor made of mundane crystal cost the same amount to make as their masterwork counterparts. Any item could potentially be made with mundane crystal. Because mundane crystal armor is considered to be made out of metal, druids cannot wear it.

You sustain no further hit point loss and stabilize if you are dying.

• Restful Armor Enchantment
  • Property: Armor Caster Level: 5th Aura: Moderate; (DC 17) Abjuration Activation: —
  • Sleeping in restful armor does not cause you to become fatigued, even if the armor is medium or heavy. Further, you can make Listen checks with a penalty of only –5 while sleeping in the armor.

  • Magic Missile Level 9 Wand (10 Charges)

• Hideaway Weapon Enchantment
  • Property: Weapon Caster Level: 5th Aura: Faint; (DC 17) transmutation Activation: Swift (command)
  • Several studs texture this weapon, as do numerous hinges and slots, though none seems to impede its effectiveness.
  • When activated, a hideaway weapon folds up into a bundle two size categories smaller than you, making it easy to conceal. You gain a +2 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks to conceal a hideaway weapon when it’s folded up (as if it were a dagger).
  • A second command word (also a swift action) causes the weapon to unfold to its normal shape.

• Illuminating Weapon Enchantment
  • Property: Weapon Caster Level: 5th Aura: Faint; (DC 17) evocation Activation: —
  • A sunburst set with topaz flecks gleams upon this weapon.
  • When drawn, an illuminating weapon glows with pure white light, brightly illuminating a 20-foot-radius area and providing shadowy illumination for another 20 feet beyond that.

• Lesser Enhancement Crystal of Return
  • Body Slot: — (weapon crystal) Caster Level: 5th Aura: Faint; (DC 17) transmutation Activation: —
  • This crystal is the color of a cloudless sky.
  • A crystal of return allows a weapon to leap into its owner’s hand.
  • This crystal allows you to draw the weapon to which it is attached as a free action. In addition you can call the weapon (if unattended) to your hand from up to 30 feet away as a move action.

A bouncing rubber ball can give you an idea of what lies down a corridor. Simply throw the ball at a space or grid intersection as you would throw a splash weapon, though with a range increment of 30 feet. No matter where the ball lands, it bounces directly away from you, traveling half the distance it was first thrown. Then it lands and bounces again, covering half the distance of the previous bounce. The ball continues in this manner until it makes a bounce that would be less than 5 feet in length, at which time it stops bouncing and begins rolling. If the ball strikes a solid object, it reverses direction and continues rolling.
Thus, you can throw a rubber ball down a corridor to see whether or not it hits a wall and returns to you. Either way, you learn something about the length of the hallway. When you throw the ball, you can also listen carefully for other cues, especially if the ball does not return. For example, if you hear a splash, you know that a liquid obstacle lies ahead.

Attached to Grasping Hook

This rope has 4 hit points and can be burst with a DC 24 check. It is so supple that it provides a +2 circumstance on Use Rope checks.

Hidden Dagger Enclosed

These otherwise normal high boots have hinged heels that swing open to reveal small storage spaces. Each can hold one or two Fine objects, such as a vial of poison. In addition, the inside lining of the boot can be removed to hide thin, flat objects like a map or slender dagger. It requires a successful Search check (DC 30) to locate items hidden in the boots.

Body Slot: Arms Caster Level: 3rd Aura: Faint; (DC 16) transmutation Activation: —

• These flexible, blue-green leather armbands are covered with gold studs.
• When wearing strongarm bracers, you can wield weapons as if you were one size category larger than normal. (You don’t take any penalty when using weapons as normal for your size.) For example, a human wearing these bracers could wield Large or Medium weapons without penalty.
• The effect of these bracers doesn’t stack with the powerful build trait (such as that possessed by the half-giant and goliath races).

A belt of battle helps you avoid being caught off guard in combat and allows occasional bursts of extra activity. While worn, it grants you a +2 competence bonus on initiative checks. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.

In addition, a belt of battle has 3 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Each time you activate the belt, one of the black pearls set into its buckle turns white. The pearls return to normal when the ring’s charges renew. Spending 1 or more charges grants you an extra action, which must be taken immediately (before you take any other action).

1 charge: 1 move action.
2 charges: 1 standard action.
3 charges: 1 full-round action.

While wearing dimension stride boots, you gain a +2 competence bonus on Jump checks. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.

In addition, the boots have 5 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending 1 or more charges allows you to teleport a short distance (with no chance of error). You must have line of sight and line of effect to your destination. You can’t use the boots to move into a space occupied by another creature, nor can you teleport into a solid object; if you attempt to do so, the boots’ activation is wasted. You can bring along objects weighing up to your maximum load, but you can’t bring other creatures.

1 charge: Teleport 20 feet.
3 charges: Teleport 40 feet.
5 charges: Teleport 60 feet.

By activating this simple silver ring, the wearer can benefit from invisibility, as the spell.

This ring is crafted with a feather pattern all around its edge. It acts exactly like a feather fall spell, activated immediately if the wearer falls more than 5 feet.

When you activate a winged vest, it unfolds its manticore wings and allows you to fly at a speed of 60 feet (good maneuverability) for 5 rounds.
A winged vest functions five times per day.

You can activate a retributive amulet immediately after another creature has dealt damage to you with a melee attack. That creature takes damage equal to half the damage it dealt to you. This damage is of the same type (or types).
This ability functions three times per day.

You can activate gloves of fortunate striking to reroll an attack roll that you’ve made before you know whether the attack succeeded. You must use the second result, even if it’s lower. You can’t use this ability if you have already rerolled the attack for any reason.
This ability functions once per day.
