Dragonsaddle
This enchanted leather seat will, upon utterance of the command word, adhere to the back or neck of any willing dragon, or to an unwilling dragon that fails a Fort DC18 save.

The save should be Will based, Dragons are magical, wouldn't it just will the saddle away?
Or maybe Reflex based, to wiggle free before the saddle can get a hold.

It's DC18, does it matter? Other than wormlings, not many dragons are going to have one attached to them involuntarily, and I pity the fool that slaps one on anyway.

I chose Fortitude because tearing it away requires a high pain threshold. Maybe Will would have been a better choice, but my intuition says Fortitude.

Shadow Picks

These are a rogues best friend. When placed against the skin and the command word spoken, the lock picks become a tatoo of the wearsers design. The picks radiate magic if detected for but are in no other way detectable.

I read this somewhere a very long time ago somewhere. I wish i could remember where.......

Out of curiosity, why is this so expensive? If I had the choice to spend 36k on either this item or a Amulet of Health +6, I would by the Amulet of Health because it increases my Con, giving me 3hp/level, which at level 7 is greater than the 90k item item, +3 to Con skill checks and Fort saves. Yes, I suppose they would stack, but I'm still not sure these Amulets would be worth it.

the amulet of hidden life use the maximized version of a 2nd level spell, so it's fitfh level
so for unseen life the pricing is 2*10(caster level)*1,800
and for hidden life it's 5*10*1,800

I also wonder. By 3.5 rules, the average 13th level character has about 43k. This is the lowest "average" level a character could get this. Amulet of health gives you an extra 3 hitpoints per level, thus meaning an extra 39 hitpoints. Much more than the amulet of unseen health.

Just wondering

Edit: ahhh.... I see. Wow! that formula worked odd eh?
