[QUOTE="keterys, post: 5298921, member: 43019"] I guess my point is that reduced to D&D terms, they're not terribly impressive. An attempt to D&D-ify them and make them rare would likely result in bedecking them in potentially too many things. But, sure, you could end up with a Frodo's +2 Mithril Mail Shirt Property: This shirt functions as chainmail with no speed or check penalty. Power (Encounter): Immediate Interrupt. Use when hit by an attack. Reduce the damage dealt by the attack by 10. Power (Daily): No Action. Use when an attack kills your character or reduces you below 0 hp. You do not die, take no damage from the attack that would bring you below 0 hp, and are stabilized. You could also just have a +6 Masterwork Uncommon Mail Shirt on a level 4 guy :) That'd be pretty darn impressive. You could make the horn more impressive than the fairly lackluster wondrous item, Horn of Summons, but... eh: Standard Action. When you sound the horn, all creatures within 1 mile hear its call. Allies within that range are awakened if they are sleeping, and instantly know your current location, hit point total, and any effects currently affecting you. [/QUOTE]
