This category is the most fun to create new items for. After all, when you think about that magical longsword you want, combat bonuses are what comes to mind. But what if that same sword was created for a nobleman on the run from creditors? Without knowledge of the command word it is just a really well-built longsword; but if you hold it and utter the proper arcane phrase, it casts a cure light wounds on the next thing it strikes, living or not, instead of doing any physical damage. Imagine how useful this could be if one was attempting to fake his own death.....

Item Description Item History
Dog Soldier's Chainmail
Armor
This chainmail was created long ago by wizards of the Hajiirian Emperor Ahz-ymandius. It is always perfectly clean and in good repair. It will never rust, tarnish, or become stained in any way. All damage this armor sustains repairs itself instantly.  
Dog Soldier's Scimitar
Weapon
This sword is always clean & sharp, even after being used in combat. All stains vanish instantly, and the blade will never rust. The enchantment placed upon the item gives it a razor-sharp edge at all times.  
Cloak Dagger
Weapon
This dagger could well be a thief's best friend. It is invisible to the unaided eye as long as it remains concealed within the folds of a cloak. When removed, it will not become visible until one round after striking a target, giving the thief ample time to slip away without being detected.  
Helmet of Alertness
Armor
This plain bronze helmet keeps its wearer awake and alert as long as it is worn (up to 24 hours); it is ideal for keeping watch over a campsite. If worn by someone using infravision or ultravision, the range of such abilities is doubled while the helm is worn. The only drawback is that the user must immediately rest for at least 8 hours after removing the helmet, whether it was in use for 1 minute or for the full 24 hours.
