In response to your request for magic items, here are a few of my favorites: 1. Potion of detoxification: will neutralize poison, intoxicants, and drugs. 2. Dragon skin Scroll: Described in 'The Dragon' magazine. A single 1'x1' patch over the heart of the Dragon is used, enchanted, and inscribed with ONE spell. The scroll has a % chance (I use 1% cumulative/spell level) chance of disappearing upon reading. 3. Gloves of the Spider: Casts modified WEB spell, allows SPIDER CLIMB. 4. Random's Hat: This takes a couple years to make, but employs only the Mage or Illusionist spell MAGIC MOUTH. The spells may be cast in such a way as to determine general direction (up,down,left,right,front,back) and monster type. The theory of operation is that if I am wearing the hat, and pass above an Ankheg, a mouth will say "ANKHEG DETECTED", followed by a second mouth which says "IN FRONT", and a third mouth will say "BELOW". For common monsters this is a waste of time, but the applications are numerous. 5. Hat of Comfort: A perversion of Tensers Floating Disk, this hat projects a field above the wearer and protects against all liquids from above (and it extends to the shoulder level, so thrown liquids will only hit below this line.). 6. Crystal Communicators: Two 'tuned' crystal eggs. Acts as Walkie-Talkie. User must be within 5' range for audio transmission, touch for video. Duration dependant on Planar difference. Classically refered to as an Ansible. From the crucible of: Random (sort of a magic user . . . ) ihnp4!nwuxc!random
