Needful Things

[Roughtrade]

A Random Collection of Things I Have Found Useful 

Mostly for Pathfinder

 

Guided Weapon

Uses Wisdom for +Hit and +Damage instead of Strength.  Costs as "+1" for determining price.  A hold over from 3.5 but in the early days appeared in the appendices of official Pazio publications.  Can currently be found on the D20PFSRD and the Archives of Nethys.  

 

Ioun Torch

A small crystal, dull grey and oddly shaped with multiple facets. When held at the height of your eye, palm open, it begins to glow with a soft (insert your favorite color here) tinted light that illuminates the area.  Hands Free Light for 75 Gold. Easily within reach of many First Level Characters. Don't leave home without it.  Do Not Buy Everburning Torch, which you still need to hold and costs 35 Gold more!

 

Sleeves of Many Garments

The wearer of these sleeves can, when she slips them on, choose to transform her current garments into any other non-magical set of clothing. These new clothes fit her perfectly and are always clean and mended unless she specifically designates otherwise. When she removes the sleeves, her clothes revert to their original form.  Always Clean, Always in Fashion, Assists with Disguises. For someone with the Extremely Fashionable Trait, this is rather a 'must have' magic item. And only 50gp more than required for the Trait.

 

Pro-Rating Wand Charges

If you can convince your GM, maybe you can buy a wand that isn't at full fifty charges...

For Clerics, Druids, Wizards
Zero Level Wand = 7.5gp per Charge Remaining.
First Level Wand = 15gp per Charge Remaining.
Second Level Wand = 90gp per Charge Remaining.
Third Level Wand = 225gp per Charge Remaining.
Fourth Level Wand = 420gp per Charge Remaining.
