[QUOTE="thecasualoblivion, post: 4923512, member: 59096"] I've been putting together a list for my own use of what I call Generic Items of Win. Basically these are generic items that are useful to most anybody who picks them up. A Generic Item of Win has a few features: 1. It is an item that almost anyone who wields or wears it can get full use out of its effects. 2. Its effects are simple to use and understand. 3. Its effects are usable in a wide variety of situations, as opposed to very specific and rare situations. 4. Redundant with 1-3, but it bears emphasizing that these items are not geared to specific classes and builds. This is a BETA list, and I'm going to avoid giving my reasons for a lot of these. Its a long list, and I'm doing this because someone asked. As a BETA lists, the items on it are from four books, PHB, PHBII, AV, and AVII. I will add Dungeon and Dragon items to this list at some point, as well as the higher levels. I might even post it. Armor Lv1--Magic Lv2--Dwarven(Chain/Scale/Plate) Resistance(All) Robe of Eyes(Cloth) Veteran's(All)--even after the errata Coruscating(Scale/Plate) Screaming(Hide/Scale/Plate) Lv3--Delver's(ALL) Serpentskin(Leather/Hide) Stoneborn(Plate) Stoneskin Robes(Cloth) Versatile(Chain/Plate) Skald(Leather/Chain) Bestial(Leather/Hide) Lv4--Black Iron(Scale/Plate) Bloodcut(Leather/Hide) Armor of Durability(Hide/Chain/Scale/Plate) Mithril(Chain/Scale/Plate) Robe of Contingency(Cloth) Shimmering(Cloth) Verve(Scale/Plate)--A personal favorite Dazzling(Plate) Lv5--Agile(Chain/Scale/Plate) Lv6--As level one plus Imposter's(Chain/Scale/Plate) Summoned(All) Lv7--As level two plus Shadow Hound(Hide) Radiant Temple Uniform(Cloth) Lv8--As level three plus Briartwine(Chain/Scale/Plate) Lv9--As level four plus Reflexive(Chain/Scale/Plate) Lv10--Lifeblood(Hide) Weapons(useful to anyone who can use the type of weapon the item can be) Lv1--Magic(all) Lv2--Vicious(all) Bloodclaw(melee) Farbond Spellblade(Heavy or Light Blade) Rebounding(Ranged) Hungry Spear(Spear) Lv3--Luckblade(Heavy or Light Blade) Point Blank(Ranged) Reckless(Melee) Vanguard(Melee)--even if the Daily is useless, +1d8 damage to all charges is gravy Frost(All) Lv4--Acidic(Heavy Blade, Light Blade, Spear) Lullaby(Hammer) Avalanche(Hammer) Lv5--Lightning(All) Flaming(All) Lv6--as Lv1 plus Dynamic(Melee) Lv7--as Lv2 plus Boltshard(Crossbow) Lv8--as Lv3 plus Adamantine(Melee) Raven Claw Warblade(Heavy Blade) Lv9--as Lv4 plus Battlecrazed(Axe, Heavy Blade) Lv10--as Lv5 plus Berserker(Axe, Heavy Blade) Implements(these are hard as most Implements are class specific) Lv1--Magic(all implements) Lv2--Symbol of Divinity Symbol of Resistance Defensive Staff Autumn Harvest Totem Lv3--Symbol of Divine Reach Orb of Inevitable Continuance Orb of Far Seeing Orb of Ultimate Imposition Vicious Rod--Its 1d10 crit, and useful to any Warlock.
