Universal Item Descriptions

Universal items can be configured to do just about anything.

Standard universal items are described below.

Amulet of Catapsi

Aura moderate telepathy; ML 9th; Slot neck; Price 16,200 gp; Weight —

DESCRIPTION

This copper amulet aids the wearer against other psionic characters. Once per day, the wearer can mentally command the catapsi power, which blankets a 30-foot-radius area surrounding the wearer in telepathic noise for 9 rounds. Each time other psionic characters within this range attempt to manifest a power, they must succeed on a DC 17 Will save or pay 4 more points than they otherwise would for each power manifestation. The limit on the number of power points a subject can spend on a power remains in effect, so the subject may not be able to manifest his or her highest-level powers.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Powers catapsi; Cost 8,100 gp

Aura Monocle

Aura moderate clairsentience; ML 7th; Slot eyes; Price 4,000 gp; Weight .5 lbs

DESCRIPTION

Three times per day, the wearer of this gold-rimmed monocle can activate the monocle while looking at a creature and discern if the creature is of good or evil alignment. Alternative versions of this monocle instead detect if the creature is of lawful or chaotic alignment.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, aura sight; Cost 2,000 gp

Aura Monocle, Greater

Aura moderate clairsentience; ML 7th; Slot eyes; Price 8,000 gp; Weight .5 lbs

Belt of Ectoplasmic Safety

Aura moderate psychometabolism; ML 7th; Slot belt; Price 30,000 gp; Weight 2 lbs

DESCRIPTION

This belt is made of rings of interlocking crystal, apparently skillfully carved from a single large piece. Three times per day, when the wearer is targeted by an area effect that allows a Reflex save, on a successful save he can choose to instead be moved outside of the area, taking no damage (or other harmful effect). In his place, an ectoplasmic copy remains.
The wearer is moved the shortest distance possible that would escape the effect. If there is no safe square to move to, then the belt’s effect fails.
The ectoplasmic copy looks exactly like the original character. A DC 16 Will save is required to disbelieve that the copy is the original character, otherwise creatures will act as if the copy is the original character and will ignore the original as if he were invisible. If the copy takes any damage, it dissipates immediately; otherwise the copy dissipates at the start of the wearer’s next action.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, cloud mind, ectoplasmic creation, evade burst; Cost 15,000 gp

DESCRIPTION

These black leather boots seem to shimmer when looked at, as if they are constantly moving. When this item is worn by a character with the nomad’s step ability, the character’s nomad level is treated as four higher for the purposes of the nomad’s step ability. If the character is not a nomad, they gain the nomad’s step ability as if a 4th-level nomad.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, dimension slide or nomad’s step ability; Cost 5,000 gp

Bracers of Disruption

Aura moderate clairsentience; ML 12th; Slot wrists; Price 20,000 gp; Weight –

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, disrupt pattern class feature; Cost 10,000 gp

Bracers of Martial Surging

Aura moderate psychokinesis; ML 5th; Slot wrists; Price 5,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

These bracers are made from gold and inlaid with intricate patterns of copper and diamonds. Designed to help capture some of the emotional psychic energy released by a wilder when she utilizes her wild surge, these bracers allow the wearer to channel some of that energy into her weapons. When the wearer uses a wild surge, the bracers gain a charge equal to the level of the wild surge. The bracers can hold a maximum of 10 charges; any charges that would be gained beyond that are lost. These wild surge charges can then be spent as a free action to increase the enhancement bonus or add a weapon special ability to a weapon the wearer is wielding, at a cost of two charges per +1 for enhancement bonus or weapon special ability. The improvement to the weapon lasts for one round or until the next successful attack with that weapon, whichever occurs first. These bonuses are added to any properties the weapon already has, but duplicate abilities do not stack. If the weapon is not psionic, at least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing enhancement bonuses to a maximum of +5, or they can be used to add any of the weapon properties available to a soulknife’s mind blade.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Powers metaphysical weapon; Cost 10,000 gp

Cacophonous Bell

Aura moderate psychokinesis; ML 10th; Slot none; Price 10,500 gp; Weight 3 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

This heavy iron bell is inscribed with distorted musical symbols. When its wielder rings the bell and expends psionic focus, any bardic performance used within 30 feet of the bell costs three rounds for each round of the performance due to the sonic energy being given off by the bell. Each round, the wielder can spend a move action to continue ringing the bell, although if a round is missed, the wielder must once again expend psionic focus to reactivate the bell

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Powers create sound; Cost 5,250 gp

Charm of Preservation

Aura faint telepathy; ML 3rd; Slot none; Price 250 gp; Weight –

DESCRIPTION

This small golden charm resembles the outline of a head, although other forms have been known to exist and in psionic societies, they tend to be a sign of affluence among the populace. When the wearer of this charm is slain, it dissolves into a soft yellow nimbus that surrounds the wearer. For one week, the wearer can be affected by the psionic revivify power as if he had just died that round, but psionic revivify must be channeled through specially-treated crystals similar to cognizance crystals that cost 5,000 gp. The psionic energy in the crystal is consumed in the manifestation and the crystal becomes inert and has no value. These crystals are not provided by the charm. After being used, the charm is destroyed

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, preserve psyche; Cost 125 gp

Charms of Friendly Interceptions

Aura faint psychoportation; ML 3rd; Slot varies (see text); Price 12,000 gp (pair); Weight –

DESCRIPTION

These charms come in pairs, consisting of a matching image etched in a disc of crystal on a small chain. They can be worn in any slot, but must be worn in the same slot by two different creatures to be effective. As a standard action, either character can activate the charm, instantly switching places with the wearer of the mated charm, as long as they are within 30 feet (a DC 12 Will save negates if the target is unwilling). There must be space for each creature in their new location, or this effect automatically fails.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, dimension swap; Cost 6,000 gp (pair)

Circlet of Sheltered Mind

Aura moderate telepathy; ML 8th; Slot head; Price 7,500 gp; Weight 2 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, wild surge ability; Cost 3,750 gp

Coin of Brotherhood

Aura faint telepathy; ML 5th; Slot none; Price 5,000 gp; Weight –

DESCRIPTION

This small disk of silver is held in the palm during a handshake. When the wielder expends his psionic focus during the handshake, he gains a +10 competence bonus to a Diplomacy check against the person whose hand he is shaking to improve their attitude.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, attraction; Cost 2,500 gp

Companion Stones

Aura varies; ML varies; Slot —; Price 1,700 gp (diplomacy), 27,200 gp (electrical protection), 7,500 gp (far sight), 17,000 (fire), 9,000 gp (fortify), 10,800 gp (truthful dealings); Weight —

DESCRIPTION

A companion stone is similar to a setting stone in that it functions only in conjunction with a psicrystal staff (see below). Like setting stones, companion stones add functionality to each staff. Unlike setting stones, however, companion stones take up orbit around the head of the staff, similar to the way ioun stones orbit the head of their owner.However, companion stones orbit only the head of a chosen psicrystal staff, not the wielder of the staff.

When a character first acquires a stone, she must hold it and then release it, whereupon it takes up a circling orbit 1 foot from the head of her staff. A character must grab the companion stone to remove it from orbit about the psicrystal staff. The owner may voluntarily seize and stow a stone to keep it safe, but she loses the benefits of the stone during that time.

Companion stones have an Armor Class of 22, 8 hit points, and a hardness of 10.

The wielder can enhance her psicrystal staff with a maximum of 10 companion stones before the density of orbiting stones becomes too great.

As with the benefits provided by setting stones, the character must have her psicrystal staff in hand to gain the benefits from any orbiting companion stones.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Special creator must have appropriate powers; Cost 850 gp (diplomacy), 13,600 gp (electrical protection), 3,750 gp (far sight), 8,500 (fire), 4,500 gp (fortify), 5,400 gp (truthful dealings)

Cowardly Cryptic’s Goggles

Aura moderate clairsentience; ML 7th; Slot eyes; Price 10,000 gp; Weight 1 lb

DESCRIPTION

This pair of leather goggles, when worn by a character with the insight class feature, grants the wearer the trap spotter cryptic insight. Any time the wearer passes within 10 ft. of a trap that he detects, including if he detects the trap via the automatic check from the trap spotter insight, the goggle lenses immediately darken, blacking out everything from the wearer’s vision except for the detected trap. The wearer may attempt Disable Device checks against the trap as normal, but for any other activity, the wearer is effectively blind unless he has some other means of vision, such as an extra set of eyes

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, trap spotter insight; Cost 5,000 gp

Creature of Habit’s Medallion

Aura faint telepathy; ML 1st; Slot neck; Price 2,000 gp; Weight –

DESCRIPTION

This silver medallion bears the inscription of an hourglass, each grain of sand a tiny chip of sapphire. It grants the wearer the ability to force another creature to repeat its actions time and again.When the wearer is successfully hit by an opponent, he may spend an immediate action to mesmerize that creature, compelling it to take the same action again on its next turn, unless it can make a DC 11 Will save. If the situation changes in such a way that the creature can no longer perform the same action, it will stand still and take no action for one turn. This has no other effect on the creature, and it will defend itself as normal.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, déjà vu; Cost 1,000 gp

Crown of Traded Will

Aura moderate telepathy; ML 11th; Slot head; Price 20,000 gp; Weight 2 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

This delicate silver crown bears reflective gems at the tips of its points. These gems reflect light in strange ways, creating a dancing swarm of luminescent motes in combat. As a standard action, the wearer can attempt to briefly swap minds with another creature. The target must make a DC 19 Will save, or have its mind switched with the wearer’s until the end of the wearer’s next turn. The crown can be used once per day.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, mind switch; Cost 10,000 gp

Crystal Anchor

Aura varies; ML varies; Slot —; Price 24,000 gp; Weight 3 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

A crystal anchor is a shaft of transparent crystal 4 to 5 feet in length, with a sharpened, spearlike head on one end. It ensnares the minds of those within range who manifest powers of a specified psionic discipline. The triggering discipline is specified at the time of creation. A crystal anchor is activated by plunging the sharp head into the ground, leaving the shaft freestanding.

It projects an invisible, 30-foot-radius field. If a power from the specified discipline is manifested within this range, the manifester must succeed on a Will save (DC 15 + power level) or become subject to an effect similar to brain lock, except that the effect is permanent until dispelled or dismissed by the individual who initially drove the crystal anchor into the earth. Any anchor can be pulled out of the ground and reused at a later time. When a crystal anchor successfully ensnares a target, a slender filament of insubstantial ectoplasm connects the victim to the shaft, even one outside the original area of the field.

A crystal anchor can attempt to ensnare a victim only five times per day. Previously caught targets can remain caught day after day and do not count against this daily limit on attempts.

An anchor’s owner can designate certain creatures to be unaffected by the anchor; such creatures need not make a saving throw and do not count against the daily limit on attempts. One crystal anchor can ensnare multiple targets simultaneously, and multiple crystal anchors can share overlapping fields.

Anchors that activate when a specific power is manifested in range are also possible, but are rarer. A crystal anchor has AC 7, 15 hit points, a hardness of 8, and a break DC of 20.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Powers brain lock, trigger power, additional powers; Cost 12,000 gp

DESCRIPTION

Each of the various types of crystal masks fits over the face of any Medium or Small humanoid, with slits for eyes and nostrils. The mask is transparent, although it distorts the wearer’s features. Leather straps attached to small holes on the sides of a mask enable the owner to affix the mask to his face.

Crystal masks confer special abilities or improved skills upon their wearers.

If the target is unwilling, then the manifester must make a successful opposed Will save to use the power, and manifesting the power becomes a full round action, unless it would normally be longer.

DESCRIPTION

This opaque crystal faintly pulses with an internal light. It contains the knowledge of a single psionic power (chosen by the creator when the item is crafted). If the bearer is a manifester and has that power on her class power list, she may use her power points to manifest that power as if it were one of her powers known. A mind stone is priced based on the power’s psion/wilder, tactician, or vitalist level, unless the power doesn’t appear on either of those power lists, in which case it is based on the highest power level as it appears on any other power list. For example, a power that is on the 4th-level cryptic list and the 2nd-level psychic warrior list is priced as a 4th-level power.
A character can only benefit from a number of mind stones equal to half his powers known from his manifesting ability. Extra powers known from feats like Expanded Knowledge or from effects like psychic chirurgery do not increase this limit.
A character must first attune to a mind stone before he can benefit from it. Attuning takes 24 hours of the mind stone being in the character’s possession. A mind stone can only be attuned to one creature at any time.

Psicrystal Staves

Aura faint telepathy; ML 3rd; Slot —; Price 2,000 gp; Weight 5 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

A psicrystal staff is a long shaft of wood or crystal designed to provide a “setting” for a psionic character’s psicrystal, if a character has one. The basic psicrystal staff grants minimal ability to the psionic character’s psicrystal; however, every psicrystal staff can be customized, modified, and upgraded by the addition of setting stones. Each stone grants different abilities to the psionic character who uses the staff to carry his psicrystal. Of course, many psionic characters already carry their psicrystals on staves—only practiced eyes can tell the difference between a decorative setting and a potent item.

Psicrystal staves have an Armor Class of 7, 10 hit points, a hardness of 8, and a break DC of 24.

Docked psicrystals are treated as if their owner’s manifester level is +2 higher than it really is, thus unlocking psicrystal potential early. The psicrystal must be mounted for at least 12 consecutive hours to initially gain this benefit, and it loses this benefit if it is unmounted for more than 12 hours total in a given day. For instance, a 1st-level psion with a psicrystal staff and a mounted psicrystal gains the benefits of a psicrystal with the ability to deliver touch powers, +1 natural armor, and +1 Intelligence, which is something normally only a psionic character of 3rd to 4th level could expect.

Psionatrix

Aura varies; ML varies; Slot neck; Price 8,000 gp; Weight —

Psionic Restraints

Aura strong psychokinesis; ML 16th; Slot wrists; Price see below; Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

Each of the various psionic restraints is an iron cuff that cunningly locks around the wrist (DC 27 Disable Device check). The cuff limits the total number of power points a psionic creature wearing it can use in 1 round (regardless of the creature’s total power point reserve), or completely damps the ability to use psionics. All types of psionic restraints prevent the free manifesting of powers.

Psychoactive Skins

Aura varies; ML varies; Slot —; Price 18,000 gp (chameleon), 16,000 gp (claw), 32,000 gp (defender), 60,000 gp (fiery response), 77,500 gp (hero), 129,600 gp (iron), 10,000 gp (nimbleness), 84,000 gp (proteus), 151,000 gp (psion), 79,080 gp (spider), 61,200 gp (troll); Weight 2 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

Psychoactive skins (also sometimes called ectoshells) are fist-sized globs of psionically charged ectoplasm. As a standard action, a psychoactive skin spreads over and covers a Medium or smaller creature that projects the proper command thought; the same command thought causes the skin to shrink back down to its former size. Each of the various psychoactive skins is charged with one of a wide array of powers that constantly affect the wearer.

A deployed skin completely covers the wearer and all his equipment like a second skin, allowing the wearer to see, hear, and breathe normally. It rolls away from various parts of the body as needed, such as when the wearer needs to eat or access a backpack. Held items or items specifically excluded are not covered by a psychoactive skin.

Up to three skins can be worn simultaneously, although only the outermost is active in any given round (the powers of hidden skins cannot be manifested). Skin layers can be changed with a command thought as a standard action, which causes a lower-layer skin to come to the surface.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, additional powers; Cost 9,000 gp (chameleon), 8,000 gp (claw), 16,000 gp (defender), 30,000 gp (fiery response), 37,750 gp (hero), 64,800 gp (iron), 5,000 gp (nimbleness), 42,000 gp (proteus), 75,500 gp (psion), 39,540 gp (spider), 30,600 gp (troll)

Quiver of Recall

Aura moderate psychoportation; ML 9th; Slot none; Price 2,000 gp; Weight 2 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

This worn leather quiver is a potent boon to any archer, but is of particular use to marksmen. The mouth of the quiver opens to an extra-dimensional space capable of holding up to 60 units of ammunition, and is able to retrieve bullets and bolts as easily as it does arrows. Furthermore, such ammunition never falls out of the quiver, even when upended, and is unaffected by environmental hazards (such as being submerged underwater or exposed to igniting heat) while in the quiver. Whenever the user fires an arrow (or other unit of ammunition) from the quiver that misses the quiver instantly teleports the ammunition back into the quiver, assuming it survives being fired (50% chance). When used by a marksman using the wind reader ability, however, the quiver is able to predict which shots will miss and teleports them away mid-flight, ensuring 100% retrieval.
Bullets retrieved with this quiver do not restore the explosive components to fire them, only the bullet itself

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Powers hidden pocket; Cost 1,000 gp.

Ring of Altered Perception

Aura faint telepathy; ML 7th; Slot ring; Price 12,000 gp; Weight —

DESCRIPTION

This embellished golden ring protects its wearer against information-gathering effects. Any time the wearer is the subject of a clairsentience power that would give the manifester information about the wearer, the ring alters the effects of the power to give back false information. The wearer is not affected by the ring on powers he manifests himself. The ring is effective only if the manifester level of the effect is lower than the manifester level of the ring. For example, if detect psionics was used on the wearer, he would detect as not being psionic, as long as the manifester level of detect psionics was lower than that of the ring.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Forge Ring, aura alteration; Cost 6,000 gp.

Ring of Missile Protection

Aura faint psychokinesis; ML 5th; Slot ring; Price 4,000 gp; Weight —

DESCRIPTION

This copper-colored ring is engraved with a variety of different types of ammunition all around the interior and exterior. The wearer of this ring gains damage reduction 10/magic against ranged attacks. Once 50 points of damage from ranged attacks has been absorbed, the ring goes inert for 24 hours.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Forge Ring, deflect missiles; Cost 2,000 gp.

Ring of Psionics

Aura moderate(psionics I) or strong(psionics II-IV) telepathy; ML 11th (I), 14th (II), 17th (III), 20th (IV)
; Slot ring; Price 20,000 gp (I), 40,000 gp (II), 70,000 gp (III), 100,000 gp (IV); Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

Wearers of this ring find that some powers are far easier to manifest. The wearer of this ring can treat any power point spent as if he spent two power points while manifesting a power of a particular level. Each day, the wearer may affect up to twice his manifester level in power points in this way. These additional power points still count toward the total number of power points the wearer can spend manifesting a power.
A ring of psionics I affects 1st-level powers, a ring of psionics II affects 2nd-level powers, a ring of psionics III affects 3rd-level powers, and a ring of psionics IV affects 4th-level powers.
For example, a 5th level psion wearing a ring of psionics I can affect up to 10 power points per day. When manifesting energy ray, he can spend 2 power points, but treat the power as if it was manifested with 4 power points. He would then have 8 power points left he could double that day.
The ring must be worn for 24 hours before it has any effect on the wearer.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

DESCRIPTION

This rug has a fine silver pattern woven into linen so fine it almost floats on the air. With a mental command, the rug slides itself under an object. The object seems to be much lighter to move, counting as only 1/10 its weight for purposes of dragging along the ground. The price of the rug varies based upon the maximum weight of the object the rug can slide under.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Powers skate; Cost 1,000 gp (500 lbs.), 2,500 gp (2,500 lbs.), 3,700 gp (5,000 lbs.), 5,000 gp (10,000 lbs.)

DESCRIPTION

These universal items are tiny fragments of cast-off crystal imprinted with minuscule bits of psionic power. Using a shard requires grasping it and projecting a command thought as a standard action (most shards telepathically whisper their command word into the minds of living creatures who handle them). A shard grants a temporary competence bonus on one specific skill, ranging from +1 to +10. The granted bonus lasts until the skill is used or 10 rounds pass, whichever comes first. Once its effect is activated, a shard disintegrates immediately, whether or not the bonus granted by the shard is eventually used.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Special creator must have ranks in the specified skill at least equal to the imprinted bonus; Cost 5 gp (+1), 20 gp (+2), 45 gp (+3), 80 gp (+4), 125 gp (+5), 180 gp (+6), 245 gp (+7), 320 gp (+8), 405 gp (+9), or 500 gp (+10)

Shimmering Vest

Aura faint psychokinesis; ML 10th
; Slot body; Price 10,000 gp; Weight .5 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

This vest is made of an unusual material that seems to change color and pattern constantly, causing it to be difficult to focus on the wearer of the vest. A cryptic who wears the vest is treated as if having the light-bending pattern insight. If the wearer already has the light-bending pattern insight, the duration of the benefit is increased to 1 minute per level instead of 1 round per level.

Silver Prison

Aura faint telepathy; ML 7th
; Slot -; Price 5,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

This translucent ball has a thick iron grip attached to it. When touched by almost any other creature, it seems to be made from solid glass, supernaturally strong. However, when touched to a psicrystal as a melee touch attack, the glass melts around the psicrystal and imprisons it inside. Once inside, the person holding the sliver prison can manipulate the bond of the psicrystal to more easily attack the mind of psicrystal’s master, adding +2 to the DC of any effect that allows a Will save that the wielder uses against the psicrystal’s master. Removing the psicrystal from the prison requires destroying the prison. The sliver prison has hardness of 10 and 5 hit points.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, id insinuation; Cost 2,500 gp

Snatching Gloves

Aura moderate psychoportation; ML 11th

The item teleports automatically to your hand if unattended; if it is in the possession of a creature then that creature can make a DC 19 Will save to retain it. The item can weigh no more than 25 lbs., or the effect automatically fails.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, retrieve; Cost 10,000 gp

Student’s Robes

Aura moderate psychometabolism; ML 10th
; Slot body; Price 13,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

This light garment is worn over normal clothing or armor and improves the wearer’s mental abilities. Most such robes are beige in color, with adornments of eyes or hands on a head. When this item is worn by a psion, the character’s psion level is treated as five higher for the purposes of determining his discipline abilities and the effects allowed by his discipline abilities. If the wearer has more than one discipline, he must select which discipline is improved by the robes.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, discipline class feature; Cost 6,500 gp

Suffocating Collar

Aura moderate telepathy; ML 11th
; Slot neck; Price 30,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

This crystal collar has no obvious means of opening. When placed near a creature’s throat, it seems almost to liquefy, flowing until it surrounds the neck entirely. The fit is tight, causing the creature some discomfort, though not enough to cause any harm or penalties.
Once per day with a command, the wearer can cause all creatures within 20 feet to make a DC 17 Will save or expel all of the air in their lungs. They also lose automatic use of their lungs. Affected creatures may spend a standard action gasping for breath; otherwise they start to suffocate, as per crisis of breath. This effect lasts for one minute.
The collar also starts choking the wearer for the duration of the effect on any affected creatures. He must hold his breath if he wishes to perform any action other than gasping for breath, as above. If the wearer falls unconscious or there are no affected creatures, all effects of the collar end immediately. A creature that cannot breathe can still activate the collar. Before it can be used, it needs to be attuned to the wearer for 24 hours.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, crisis of breath; Cost 15,000 gp

Surge Crystal

Aura moderate telepathy; ML 7th
; Slot headband; Price 15,000 gp (+1), 30,000 gp (+2), 60,000 gp (+3); Weight .5 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

While inert, this crystal looks like a tiny crystal, only red instead of its tell-tale green color. While its long, sharp legs occasionally twitch, the crystal is not alive and does not move beyond this occasional twitch, a reaction to latent psionic fields. However, when placed against the forehead, the crystal becomes active, its “legs” digging into the forehead of the user. Insertion imposes 2 points of Constitution drain while the crystal is inserted. This Constitution drain cannot be healed until the crystal is removed. Both insertion and removal are standard actions that do not provoke attacks of opportunity.
While the crystal is active, the wearer gains the ability to manifest powers with a wild surge, as a wilder with the free surge type. Different surge crystals carry different wild surge levels, and using the wild surge effect still carries the risk of psychic enervation. In addition, the wearer can activate a surge blast as a wilder of the same level, but doing so causes the wearer to suffer bleed damage equal to the level of the wild surge level of the crystal. The wearer cannot manifest a power with wild surge if their power point pool is empty.
A wilder who wields a surge crystal instead increases their wild surge by the wild surge level of the surge crystal, but does not increase the penalty from psychic enervation.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, wild surge class feature; Cost 7,500 gp (+1), 15,000 gp (+2), 30,000 gp (+3)

Survivor’s Sleeping Bag

Aura faint psychometabolism; ML 3rd
; Slot -; Price 1,400 gp; Weight 3 lbs.

While in this heavy sleeping bag, the owner suffers no harm from being in a hot or cold environment. It can exist comfortably in conditions between –50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit without having to make Fortitude saves. Any of the creature’s equipment in the sleeping bag is likewise protected.

The bag doesn’t provide any protection from fire or cold damage, nor does it protect against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, adapt body; Cost 700 gp

Sycophant’s Ring

Aura faint telepathy; ML 5th
; Slot ring; Price 1,000 gp; Weight –

DESCRIPTION

The wearer of this simple silver band feels a strong sense of attachment and friendship to those he encounters. While wearing this ring and after having worn it for 24 hours to attune to it, the wearer does not count against the limit for any collective he is in. However, the wearer also rolls twice against any save against charm effects and the save to resist being forcibly added to a collective and takes the worse result.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, collective class feature; Cost 500 gp

Synaptic Masks

Aura moderate psychometabolism; ML 7th; Slot head; Price 9,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

A synaptic mask consists of several thin leather straps that affix to the wearer’s face. Most of the wearer’s face is visible through the leather webbing. The strands that make up the mask all come together at the wearer’s left temple, where a setting is affixed. The setting contains a clamp in which owners can set various types of special stones. These masks use shards or meld stones to determine the effect granted to a character, thus ensuring that they are flexible in function.

Synaptic masks have an armor class of 5, 10 hit points, a hardness of 3, and break DC of 15.

Activation: Synaptic masks are always active while worn (they do not require activation). A synaptic mask confers an effect only when a shard or a meld stone rests in its setting.

Without a specified stone such as a shard in its setting, the synaptic mask confers no extra abilities. Normally, using a shard is a standard action (shards telepathically reveal their command word into the minds of psionic creatures who handle them). A shard grants a temporary competence bonus on one specific skill, ranging from +1 to +10. Normally, the bonus lasts until the skill is used or 10 rounds pass, whichever comes first. Unless set in a synaptic mask, a shard disintegrates after use, even if its user doesn’t utilize the bonus.

If a shard is placed (or replaced) in a synaptic mask setting (as a standard action), the wearer can use the shard’s skill bonus indefinitely without using up the shard. The mask preserves the shard while at the same time allowing the wearer to continuously gain the shard’s benefit. The wearer can remove the shard later to put another shard into the mask, though this results in the initial shard’s disintegration as described above.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Special creator must have ranks in the specified skill at least equal to the imprinted bonus, modify matter; Cost 4,500 gp

Synaptic Shards

Aura varies; ML varies
; Slot -; Price 2,000 gp (medic), 16,000 gp (precision), 9,000 gp (shifting steps), 16,000 gp (guarded flank); Weight –

DESCRIPTION

Synaptic shards are like normal shards, but grant benefits other than bonuses to a specific skill. However, in order to work, they must be attached to a synaptic mask, but are not destroyed when removed from the mask as standard shards are.

Shard of the Medic: This shard allows the wearer to take 10 on Heal checks even when in combat.
Aura Faint psychometabolism; ML 5th; Craft Wondrous Item, natural healing

Tactician’s Chessboard

Aura moderate telepathy; ML 5th
; Slot -; Price 8,000 gp; Weight 10 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

This finely-crafted crystal chessboard only functions when held by a creature with the collective class feature. When held, it shows the precise relative location of all collective members within 100’ and all enemies of which they are aware. The wielder can select a member of the collective and concentrate as a move action to see through that target’s eyes, gaining any of the target’s enhanced visual sensory abilities such as darkvision or low-light vision and using the target’s Perception checks. Anyone holding the wielder’s hands while using this ability similarly can see through the eyes of the target. If the members of the collective can communicate via telepathy, the wielder can attempt to use Aid Another to assist the target. These effects are active as long as the wielder maintains concentration as a move action.
A vitalist that is able to use Steal Health as a range attack may make such attacks from the selected member’s square instead of from his own; this provokes attacks of opportunity from enemies adjacent to the vitalist himself, not the selected square.
A tactician that holds the chessboard treats his Charisma score as being two points higher when determining how long his strategies last.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item, sense link; Cost 4,000 gp

DESCRIPTION

These objects appear as small crystals, always with at least one wide, flat facet, and contain a variety of powers. When the owner uses the proper command thought, the crystal adheres to the center of his forehead (the same command thought causes the third eye to disengage). Only one third eye can be worn at a time.

A third eye is treated as eyewear or goggles for the purpose of determining which items can be worn on the body.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Special creator must have ranks in appropriate skills or additional powers; Cost 5,000 gp (aware), 60,000 gp (conceal), 5,000 gp (conceal), 60,000 gp (dominate), 3,600 gp (energy ray), 56,000 gp (expose), 5,000 gp (gather), 4,000 gp (penetrate), 5,040 gp (powerthieve), 21,600 gp (repudiate), 12,000 gp (sense), 4,500 gp (talented), 5,090 gp (view)

The headband grants the wearer a +10 circumstance bonus on Intimidate and Sense Motive checks made against the wearer of the torc. In addition, if the torc wearer lies, he must make a DC 14 Will save on each new lie or suffer 2d6 points of nonlethal damage as his body is wracked with pain. Each saving throw made (successful or not) inflicts a cumulative -1 penalty on further saves, as the target’s will breaks down.

Warblade Staff

Aura moderate telepathy; ML 9th; Slot -; Price 16,000 gp; Weight 5 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

This modified psicrystal staff grants all the normal benefits of the psicrystal staff, but in addition, when the psicrystal is docked, the staff can be transformed into a crystal blade or back to a staff as a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. When in crystal blade form, the warblade staff deals damage as a bastard sword and can be wielded either one-handed or two-handed, at the wielder’s discretion. The wielder is always considered to be proficient with the crystal blade. The warblade staff is made of deep crystal, and so can be charged with power points as any deep crystal weapon. In addition, the wielder may deliver touch attacks with melee attacks when in crystal blade form. The warblade staff can be enchanted as if a masterwork weapon, allowing both the staff and bastard sword forms to be enchanted separately, but only one end of the staff.
Unlike a normal psicrystal staff, the warblade staff cannot have companion stones.
The warblade staff has the same hardness and hit points of a standard psicrystal staff. If the staff is sundered while a psicrystal is docked, the psicrystal undocks unharmed.

DESCRIPTION

This improved version of the warblade staff has the additional ability to allow the wielder to generate a blast of light and energy by spending power points and expending psionic focus when the warblade staff is in crystal blade form. The blast deals 1d8 points of damage for every 2 power points spent; affected creatures with light sensitivity are dealt double damage. The blast is a burst effect centered on the wielder, with a radius of 20 feet and allows a Reflex save for half damage (DC 13 + 1/2 the number of power points spent). The wielder is immune to this effect.
