I'd go with the invisibility. Always on, always invisible. Be a great boon to the resumption of my mercenary career. As the saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind", right? Or, at least, "invisible, insane". Etherealness and teleportation come pretty close, but the limited duration and uses respectively limit the ability to do things with them.

The belt of flying is a cute idea, but the FAA would have a fit if they saw you doing that. Besides, the eagle may soar, but the weasel never gets sucked into a jet engine.

The decanter of endless water is a nice concept, but my water bill isn't really that high. Now if it were a decanter of endless OIL, I'd be sold on that right off.

The boots of speed aren't that helpful. While being able to run extremely fast is nice, if you want to fast, you could just ride a bike.

The umbrella is a sure no-go. It's not even a really special item that gives you powers you wouldn't already have. You can get one of those right now. They're called "parachutes".

Do tell. I live in the Bay Area and I am somthing of a patron of the pizza arts. What place is it? Is it Zachary's? That's where I take everyone from out of town.

When I lived in San Fran, we had a weekly outing called the "Best of San Francisco" and the first thing we did was pizza, for 7 weeks. I can't remember any of the places we went, though,t hey were all little places all over the city, and it probably has something to do with the fact that *every* best of week was also a Best Beer week.

id pay everything i had for the belt of flying. Id get the HELL out of OKC immediately. And as for planes? Fly about 50 feet up.....few planes up there. Think of this. Your on a skyscraper. You tell someone your gonna jump. Police are all there. You step off....and keep on walking. Look like your jumping up and down. Wonder aloud why you dont fall. Invite police to join you. Have more fun.

She liked Scotland? Where in Scotland did you go?

Not to hijack the thread, but basically EVERYWHERE.

We spent three weeks in Scotland 2 years ago this month. Quick recap:

Landed in London, train to Edinburgh. 3 days there, then a day-trip to Stirling and ending up in Perth (Boot Hill & Scone palace). Then onto Inverness (Culloden) via Aberdeen and up to Orkney for 5 days (Kirkwall).

Back through Inverness and across to Skye (over the sea to Skye ). Then back to the mainland and down to Oban. A day trip out to Mull, Iona & Staffa (Fingal's Cave) and onwards by ferry to Islay.

After Islay, we stayed for 3 days in Glasgow and then the sleeper back to London and fly home from Heathrow.

Greatest trip of our lives. We tramped it with backpacks, stayed in hostels & B&Bs. We never drove, we just took ferries, buses & trains. It was awesome!

Helm of Teleport without question. No more 1 hour plus communets to and from work every day. I could always just teleport to work to the store and then home if I needed. And of course it would be great for quick trips to Cuba to get me some cigars.

What are you going to do with a Decanter of Endless Water? Suffer heap-big buyer's remorse, when you think that you could have been flying or invisible.

What are you going to do with a Ring of Invisibility? Have some fun, then become a voyeur, a spy, or a thief. I don't want to be a spy or a thief.

What are you going to do with a Helm of Teleportation? have some fun, start out with a little smuggling, then become an international courier, make some decent scratch transporting hearts, diamonds, people, whatever. Save the occasional kid down the well.

 

[Angcuru]

I'd take the Belt of Flying, no question. Useful for picking up chicks, in more ways than one.

 

[Hikaru]

More choices?

And what about a ring of immortality?

This said, if I have to choose among your wares, I would take... take... The Helm of Teleportation, I guess. After I left university, I never saw most of my best friends again: they all live in different parts of the world, now.

Yes, the Helm. Can I place a mail order?

Let's not forget the obvious military applications of invisibility. In fact, the US Army is developing suits that attempt to make the wearer more invisible right now. I know that being invisible would have been a great perk in my younger days.

Besides, out of sight, out of mind, right? Or, at least, "invisible, insane".

Whoa! Just... Whoa! I hadn't thought about using the decanter of endless water as an energy source. Hmmm. This almost completely changes economics in a modern world with magic (d20 modern) campaign. Cool! I'd definitely take this. Inifinte energy source.
