That being said, I suck at determining things like price, item level, etc., and would appreciate any input or constructive criticism. SK Emissary’s Portmanteau Price (Item Level): ???? (???) Body Slot: -- Caster Level: 14th Aura: Strong Conjuration Activation: Activating the Portmanteau takes 1 minute Weight: 5lb These filigreed mithral caskets are made in linked pairs. A document placed within the box and lit aflame is destroyed, only to be reconstituted from ash within its’ paired box. These work regardless of distance between the boxes as long as they are present on the same plane. Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Teleport Cost to Create: ??? Amulet of Aresh (posted previously) Price (Item Level): ??? Body Slot: Throat Caster Level: 10th Aura: Strong Illusion Activation: Entering Dreamtouched state takes a full round of meditation; using Dream of Insight takes 8 hours of rest Weight: -- This amulet is a complex knotwork of leather straps, onto which polished pieces of carved turquoise and malachite are threaded in an intricate pattern.

Subtle Knife 06-25-07, 08:34 PM	A simple variant on the Cape of the Viper (MIC p84) - inspired by the rarely-seen Tibbits and their remarkable espionage capabilities! Tibbit Cloak Price (Item Level): 2000gp (6th) Body Slot: Shoulders Caster Level: 7th Aura: Moderate (DC18) transmutation Activation: Swift (command) Weight: 1lb These cloaks come in a variety of different colors and patterns, usually combinations of blacks, browns, reds, and whites. A tibbit cloak allows you to transform into a tiny housecat. The cape has 3 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending a charge transforms you for 10 rounds. While in feline form, you replace all your normal statistics and special abilities with those of a typical housecat, except that your alignment, hit points, hit dice, and your ability to understand (but not speak) the languages you normally understand. Any gear worn or carried melds into your new form and become nonfunctional. Treat this as a polymorph effect, as defined on page 95 of Players Handbook II. Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, ability to Wildshape Cost to Create: 1000gp, 80XP, 2 days

GimliGloinson 06-27-07, 06:10 PM	I like the Tibbit Cloak. Since you're going with the 3 charges, how bout a scaling Polymorph, like the Cape of the Viper. First off stick with 7 round duration, since your caster level is 7. 1 charge = house cat 3 charges = leopard The CR for leopard is equal to the large viper, but you're dealing straight damage, not poison, so maybe it's still balanced. There's no cat-like-substance to fit into the 2 charges slot. As far as the Portmanteau and Amulet, I dunno. I'm not real familiar with the Sarlona stuff yet, so I'll not comment there. Portmanteau probably needs Teleport Any Object and maybe Make Whole? I like your chronocharms. Very tasty. :)
Warforged Goblin 06-28-07, 09:08 AM	For the 2 charges Tibbit Cloak option, how about a lynx/bobcat from Sandstorm? IIRC they would fall between the housecat and leopard. Nice job on the chronocharms too :D
