I list them here because sometimes they are simply a very handy way to take care of a problem. These are, obviously guidelines that are subject to DM approval. I assume that your class provides you with ways to perform the task your class needs you to perform - this list is for the things your class may not provide, but still needs.Ī note on custom items: I sometimes refer to the custom item creation guidelines. I also assume that you are looking for a 'long-term' solution - I do not include scrolls and potions (although I do include wands).Īlso, I focus primarily on defensive and tactically enabling items. I assume that if you are looking through the lists that all of your class levels, feats, skills and resources other than magic items are already tied up - if you have a class feature (like a spell) that can give this to you, it is usually the most efficient way to take care of it. This post is a collection of lists of items that can help you get these 'essential' capabilities down by using magic items.

Which means you have to rely on magic items to make sure your character doesn't end up useless half the time. Frequently when building characters, you find that there are some things that are more or less 'essential' for your character to survive after the first few levels.Īnd worse, you sometimes find that your class doesn't grant them.
