While most of the smoke quickly dissipates, a thin layer of it clings to any corporeal invisible creatures caught in the cone. The creatures are revealed as blurred shapes, rather than being invisible, but attacks against them still suffer a 20% miss chance. This effect lasts for 6 rounds. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 1,296 GP Craft Wondrous Item, invisibility purge, obscuring mist PLANAR PARCHMENT PRICE 18,000 GP SLOT none CL 11th WEIGHT 1 lb. AURA moderate conjuration and evocation Resembling ordinary paper, planar parchment is used when negotiating with outsiders via spells like planar ally or planar binding. Using the parchment as part of negotiations grants the user a +2 bonus on her Charisma check to coerce the called outsider if such a check is required. Planar parchment offers some autonomy to outsiders called for longer missions via planar ally. The use of planar parchment increases the time for a planar ally from 1 day per caster level to 1 week per caster level for long-term tasks (without increasing the cost of the payment the outsider requires). An outsider that has its term of service increased in this way isn’t bound to the plane to which it was called. After negotiations are complete, it can return to its home plane, but is still required to perform the services it agreed to complete. Regardless of whether the outsider was called via planar ally or planar binding magic, the outsider maintains a connection with the planar parchment for the duration of its service. Any writings added to the parchment are instantly transmitted to the bound outsider, as a sending spell (with no chance of failure if the outsider is on another plane). These words disappear from the parchment 1 hour after being inscribed. Finally, once an outsider is bound to service with a planar parchment, the parchment is inscribed with script visible only to the creature completing the negotiation, or via true seeing. Reading this script is a full-round action, akin to reading a scroll. Reading this aloud immediately summons the bound outsider to the location of the scroll. A planar parchment can be used for only one negotiation, and then turns into a nonmagical piece of parchment. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 9,000 GP Craft Wondrous Item, planar binding, sending POLISH OF INCONSPICUOUS ARMOR PRICE 750 GP SLOT none CL 5th WEIGHT 1/2 lb. AURA faint conjuration This pungent, tar-black armor polish comes in a small, circular tin. The 1 dose contained in the tin is enough to apply to a single Medium suit of armor or two Small suits of armor. Applying the polish takes 10 minutes, during which time the user must visualize an alternative appearance for the armor to take on, such as a normal set of clothes or another set of armor. After the polish is applied, its noxious scent dissipates and the armor appears the way the user visualized, as the glamered magic armor special ability. The armor maintains all properties other than its physical appearance, including weight, armor check penalty, and maximum Dexterity bonus. This effect remains for 24 hours before wearing off. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 375 GP Craft Wondrous Item, disguise self PRIVATE PALANQUIN PRICE 63,000 GP SLOT none CL 11th WEIGHT 500 lbs. AURA moderate abjuration and transmutation This versatile wooden conveyance provides a safe refuge for its passengers, free from the prying eyes of others. A private palanquin can be commanded to change its appearance, including not only its decorations and appointments but also its physical form, taking the shape of an enclosed litter, two-wheeled cart, fourwheeled light or heavy wagon, carriage, or even a small cabin, though in all shapes it retains the dimensions of a Large object occupying a 10-foot cube. When activated, a private palanquin moves on its own, following its passengers’ directions, and has the following statistics: hp 150; hardness 8; Speed 40 ft.; AC 18 (–1 size, +9 natural); Attack none; CMD 24; Fort +2, Ref +2, Will +2. Once per day, a private palanquin can be commanded to create a set of illusory draft animals or litter bearers that last for 12 hours or until dismissed. These creatures look, sound, feel, and smell just like real creatures of their type, and they appear to move the private palanquin. Up to four Medium creatures (or a single Large creature) can fit inside a private palanquin, and creatures inside it are protected from observation, both mundane and magical, as if in a mage’s private sanctum. The door to a private palanquin is locked, as per arcane lock, but opens with a command word. If the door is opened without speaking the command word, it triggers an audible alarm. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 31,500 GP Craft Construct, Craft Wondrous Item, alarm, animate objects, arcane lock, mage’s private sanctum, veil QUICK-CHANGE MASK PRICE 650 GP SLOT head CL 5th WEIGHT — AURA faint illusion A wearer can remove this mask as a move action to change his appearance as if using disguise self. The effect persists for 10 minutes. A vigilante can instead remove a quick-change mask to switch his identity as a move action. If the mask is used in this way, the effect functions just like changing identities normally (except faster), and doesn’t have a limited duration. Regardless of which way he is using a quick-change 250
CHAPTER 6 GEAR AND MAGIC ITEMS mask, the user can attempt a Bluff check to create a diversion so he can use Stealth as part of the same move action he uses to activate the mask. The mask dissolves when used. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 325 GP Craft Wondrous Item, disguise self, eagle’s splendor, prestidigitation RAUCOUS CANARD PRICE 100 GP SLOT none CL 1st WEIGHT — AURA faint transmutation Scheming nobles like to use raucous canards to spread gossip about their enemies. An inactive raucous canard appears to be a small, nondescript piece of rolled-up parchment. Unrolling the parchment allows you to record a messages up to 25 words long. Once you record a message, you can throw the parchment into the air, causing it to animate, sprout small feathery wings, and circle overhead for 10 minutes while loudly repeating the message over and over in a booming voice. Alternatively, you can close the scroll, causing the animation to be triggered the next time someone opens the scroll. After 10 minutes, the raucous canard disappears in a small shower of sparks and is destroyed. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 50 GP Craft Wondrous Item, animate objects, magic mouth SHADOW HAND SMOKE PELLET PRICE 800 GP SLOT none CL 7th WEIGHT — AURA moderate conjuration This delicate metallic shell contains two sets of volatile alchemical substances, similar to those used in smoke pelletsUE. When the sphere is broken, the substances mingle and fill a 10-foot cube with a cloud of dark gray smoke that lasts for 1 minute. The user can throw the pellet as a ranged touch attack with an increment of 10 feet. Partially tangible hands of smoke accost creatures in the cloud. These hands attempt to grapple anyone moving through the smoke (CMB +7). Upon successfully grappling an opponent, the hands attempt to maintain the grapple every round until the smoke dissipates. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 400 GP Craft Wondrous Item, black tentacles, obscuring mist TIME BOMB PRICE 1,000 GP SLOT none CL 5th WEIGHT 1 lb. AURA faint evocation A time bomb consists of an 6-inch-tall hourglass in an obsidian frame etched with tiny runes. To activate it, the user must uncap one end and place an amount of ground sulfur sand inside. The hourglass can hold as little as 1 minute’s worth of sand to as much as 1 hour’s worth. Once the sand is inside and the time bomb is recapped, the magic is activated. If left undisturbed, after the sand has run down, the time bomb explodes as a fireball spell dealing 5d6 points of fire damage (Reflex DC 14 half). If an activated time bomb is broken, tipped over, or otherwise disturbed before its sand drains completely and it detonates, the magic is ruined. If it is disarmed in this manner without being damaged, the item can thereafter function as a normal hourglass. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 500 GP Craft Wondrous Item, alarm, fireball TIME BOMB, GREATER PRICE 6,000 GP SLOT none CL 13th WEIGHT 1 lb. AURA strong evocation A greater time bomb functions as a time bomb, but deals 13d6 points of fire damage (Reflex DC 20 half). CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 3,000 GP Craft Wondrous Item, alarm, delayed blast fireball VESTMENTS OF FALSE FAITH PRICE 27,000 GP SLOT body CL 8th WEIGHT 5 lbs. AURA moderate illusion This priestly garment can be commanded to alter its appearance as a standard action, able to reshape itself into ceremonial garb or the everyday habit of a religious functionary of any faith. Vestments of false faith are always emblazoned with the holy symbol and colors of the faith chosen by the wearer, and she can disguise an object held in a hand as a holy symbol, censer, candle, or similar item of religious paraphernalia. This change is a visual illusion (glamer) effect akin to disguise self. The wearer of vestments of false faith gains a +10 bonus on Disguise checks to impersonate a member of the faith she has chosen (this doesn’t stack with disguise self and similar effects). She also gains a +5 competence bonus on Use Magic Device checks to activate items that duplicate divine spells or emulate a specific religion or alignment, provided they fit the religion she’s imitating. If she uses a magic item to produce the effect of a divine spell, she can make it appear to observers as though she were casting the spell, though a Spellcraft check to identify the spell being cast can identify it as coming from a magic item if the result exceeds the DC by 5 or more. The wearer’s alignment is disguised while wearing vestments of false faith, so that it appears identical to that of the deity whose holy symbol she bears, and her aura is as strong as if she had a number of cleric levels equal to her Hit Dice. This primarily affects alignment detection; however, once per day as an immediate action, she can function as if she actually had that alignment when she would normally be affected by an alignment-based effect, such as blasphemy, chaos hammer, forbiddance, or an unholy magic weapon. This effect persists until the end of the wearer’s next turn, after which any non-instantaneous effects (such as smite evil) suddenly revert to having the effects they would normally have on a creature of her true alignment.
