item names
- Least (1)
- Lesser (2)
- Minor (3)
- Common (1-3)
- Moderate (4)
- Steady (5)
- Balanced (6)
- Great (4-6)
- Major (7)
- Vital (8)
- Absolute (9)
- Prime (7-9)
- Perfect (1-9)
- Potions and scrolls are simply casting a spell as a one-use item (pricing model? remove caps?)
- Create non-spell effect potions and scrolls (call them alchemical instead?)
Ideas for Boots
- Boots of Haste
- Boots of Striding and Springing
- Boots of Sure Footing
- Boots of Rooting
- Boots of Stealthy Steps
Ideas for Gloves
- Gloves of Sparks
- Gloves of Grasping
- Gloves of Lightfingers
- Gloves of Soothing
- Gloves of the Maestro
Ideas for Amulets
- natural armor + other things
- energy drain resistance
- ability drain resistance
- daily/encounter instant self heal
Ideas for Spellcaster Items
- one additional target for spells with a fixed number of targets
- adjust starting square of a cone attack to be any square within 5 feet of you
- include one additional square (or more) adjacent to your area of effect in the area of effect
- magic items will be created to enable a spell to last beyond its listed duration, perhaps to a second encounter, or even all day.
- extend duration of spell
- increase level cap on damage of spell (doesn't change scaling)
- some items specific to styles of casting:
- ray casters -- bonus ray; 5-foot step before and/or after casting ray; better damage;
- aoe casters -- change AOE shape, larger AOE, add AOE to touch or single-target spell (?), 1 free 'selective' target
- summoners -- more hp's, increased move speed; increased to-hit, damage, DR, ER, etc. -- one bonus effect per item
- synergists -- increase damage from synergies; leaves condition in place (epic?)
Ideas for Anyone
use scrolls for mana burning-- canning this idea; it's a bad idea.- lay a charge on a target creature (to activate a synergy)
Haversacks
- 'normal' haversack - good weight capacity, low actual weight (5 lbs, regardless of what's in it), only a 3' diameter opening -- nothing bigger than 3' in any dimension can be shoved into it.
- 'wide-mouthed' haversack - slightly less weight capacity, higher actual weight (10 lbs, regardless of what's in it), no limit to size of things you can shove into it, as long as it doesn't exceed weight capacity of bag.
- 'quick-draw' haversack - x times per day, draw an item from the sack as a free action (instead of swift). lower weight capacity, but otherwise same as 'normal' haversack.
- 'kidnapper's' haversack - can keep willing (or helpless) living things in the sack, in a state of stasis. 30 lbs actual weight.
- 'smuggler's haversack - looks like a shirt, takes up chest slot (isn't slotless). 1 lbs actual weight, but less the capacity than a normal one (half?).
- bags of holding could still be auxiliary storage, and we could add a consumable trait to them, allowing them to be permanently merged with a haversack to increase it's storage capacity somewhat.
- this increase would (maybe) get blown away if/when the haversack gets upgraded, so it's a short-term means of bridging the gap to the next haversack model.
- would need to make it more expensive to tack on enough bags of holding to bring the haversack up to the next equivalent weight class.
