Magic Items for an Enchanter

Pheonix

First Post
I am currently designing a high-level (non-epic) enchantress for use as a villain, and I am having a lot of trouble coming up with ideas for good items. I am using Encyclopedia Arcane: Enchantment (from Mongoose Publishing), and have her classed as an Enchanter-10/Dark Temptress-10 (for those who lack the sourcebook, you essentially turn into a succubus). Although she is primarily an enchantress, she also uses necromancy a fair amount. I want to give her about 300,000 gps in stuff, but aside from the obvious Headband of Intelligence +6 and Manual of Clear Thought +5, what should I give her?

Thanks in advance,

Pheonix.

Staff of Enchantment wouldn't be bad. Along with staff of power for a back up in case things get dicey. Don't bother with Archmage's robes, but might want to get Cloak of Entrancement (Causes all that see to save or be stunned by her beauty. Forget which book but I believe the DC is 18). Also get Eyes of Charming as well.
 

Most of those suggestions can be duplicated with spells. I'd focus more on covering her weak spots: AC and hit points.

Amulet of Con +6 (36,000gp)
Bracers of Armor +8 (64,000gp)
Ring of Protection +5 (25,000gp)
Amulet of Natural Armor +4 (32,000gp) (and use polymorph / alter self to get natural armor / shapechange)

That's 167,000gp, which puts you over your limit. But dropping a point from

Be sure to turn into a form that is immune to crits if there are any crit masters around.
 


An item or casting of Greater Arcane Sight or Analyze Dweomer would also be useful in determining who has Mind Blank up so that you don't hit them with spells that won't work.

Items to cover up her evil plans and thoughts
 

Thanks for the replies. Her AC is actually okay already for a 20th-level character, thanks to the +9 natural armor bonus Dark Temptresses get as part of the Succubus package, but I added a Ring of Protection +5 just to make certain, as well as a Cloak of Resistance +5 and a Circlet of Persuasion. I could not find the Cloak of Entrancement in any of the books I own. :(
Thanks for the help,

Pheonix
 

also, remember that a lot of high level spells screw with enchantment (mind blank). Often times its better to allow an enchanter to enchant other people to attack the party then to actual have her attempt to enchant the party herself.
