Mobility in a Magic Item

[smetzger]

What would be a good Prereq for a magic Item that grants Mobility?

One you must remember that in general to have an item grant a feat or ability you must have said feat or ability.

Also the spell prereq would be Strategic Charge from Magic of Faerun.

As always, when you enhance a magic weapon with a feat, one of the prereq's are that you have the feat in question.

Not always, USUALLY. For example the Ring of Evasion doesn't require Evasion, it requires the Jump spell.

Well, evasion IS NOT A FEAT.

A skill or a feat in an item ALWAYS requires you to have the ability.

Class abilities and special abilities USUALLY requires you to have the ability.

True, I guess thats a bad example. Keen is a better example of breaking the always rule. Also, I can't find this rule about items that grant feats have that feat as a prereq in the DMG. Could you provide a reference?

Keen doesn't really break the rule.

But I found several myself that does

Staff of mighty Sweeping
Bracers of Blinding Strike
Bracers of Striking
Lance of Faerûn

All are in the MoF.

There are no rules for putting feats into items. So, generally it's thought of as a bad idea.

Ironically enough, however, no other house rule is considered as "bad" as this. I wonder why that is?

Because it is so hard to determine how much a feat is worth. Feats are not equal and they are not equal to every character. Personally, the only magica item I've created that has a feat are books of learning. They give a feat, like a tome of understanding gives a wisdom bonus. The books generally cost about 50,000gp as I think feats are pretty darn good.
