Thanks to some of the folks over at the RBDM forums, I've gotten some of the following excellent ideas.  Please, feel free to post more, however!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />----------The Faithful Step: This blindfold made from black widow silk enables its wearer (or if you like, only a cleric) to move as if under the effects of an Air Walk spell as long as the wearer is effectively blind.The Cat's Meow: This lyre is made of polished oak, with strings of cat's whiskers. a bard using this instrument can use bardic music as if he was one level higher (with the respective additional rank in Perform). Furthermore, once per day, he can cast a spell using this lyre as Heightened without extending the casting time. However, all felines within 500 yards (feet? 5 miles? adapt as you want) must succeed at a will save (DC 13) or gather around the bard. Normal cats automatically fail this save.Drowbane beacon: This hooded lantern was constructed from finest dwarven mithril and used in defense against underdark dangers. The lantern's shutters can be opened or closed seperately, but the lantern cannot be lit. Instead, a 45ft. cone extends from each open shutter. Within the confines of this cone, no darkvision will function.Forest Flute: This small flute was made from willowwood. For a bard, it is a masterwork flute (+2 to perform (flute)). Anybody can use the flute to mimic the sounds of forest animals; a character (bard?) with at least 5 ranks in perform (flute) may mimic the cry of any  specific animal it knows (if you want, may HD = character level). Once per day, the owner may cast Speak with animals as a caster of his character level; once per week the owner may take the shape of an animal as if he were a druid of his level (no elemental or dire shapes). (Druids may or may not gain one additional use of shape change instead)</blockquote>
