Helm of Disguise
The Helm of Disguise – Level 8
This fabled device, crafted by a greedy dwarven king, is a fine coif of silver chain with a shining silver mask that covers the upper face. With it one can take on the shape of any creature of about the wearer’s size.
Item Slot: Head 3.400 gold
Power (Daily; Minor): The wearer can Change Shape (see monster manual p280) to alter its physical form to take on the appearance of another creaure of its size or one size category larger or smaller, including a unique individual (giving a +20 bonus on its Bluff check to impersonate that individual).

“Three Strikes”

The owner can go below 0 hit points twice wielding this weapon, but on the third time her hit points reach 0, she finally dies, skipping stabilization attempts, etc.
This sword is also imbued with wounding.

Bottle of Message
Just a castaway, an island lost at sea…
This bottle, when cast into a body of water, delivers a hand-written message quickly, as if by a written version of message. The body must spring from a natural water source. The message travels via the Elemental Plane of Water to its destination, who must also be near a body of water which springs from a natural source. A bathtub counts, assuming the water travels from an aquifer via an aqueduct. The bottle can be reused until it is broken.
Faint enchantment; CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Item, message (heightened); Price 2,000 gp.

Pouch of Sating
This pouch provides fresh sustenance one person according to the hunger level of the owner. The pouch appears full and is as heavy as the amount of today’s food left in it, but will only provide food for the owner, and only as much as she needs at the moment.
The food is kept fresh by being stored in a vacuum in a pocket dimension.
Moderate conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item, secret chest, create food and water. Price: 1,000gp per month’s worth of food.

Ring of Appearing as Magic
Created by some bored, sick wizard in his tower, this ring appears as if it is magical, and that is its only magical enhancement. It will appear as magical in response to detect magic, but an identify or analyze dweomer will reveal nothing, only that it is imbued with some form of an enchantment. This confounds mages who feel the need to know everything about an item, and personalities of this type will likely devote countless hours to the task in vain.
Faint enchantment, CL 3, craft wondrous item, Price: 150gp.

Nightingale of Florence
This bird, when summoned, provides additional healing to the entire party as it sings a sweet song in a nearby tree.
A statuette version of this creature can be used to summon the nightingale. This silver figurine transforms into a nightingale on command, retaining its metallic consistency, which gives it hardness 10. The figurine, when activated, sings a pleasant tune throughout the night, providing 4d8+7 hit points of healing over the course of the night. These effects occur to one person per 15 minute increment, so if the rest is interrupted before everyone is healed, the nightingale completes its song and returns to its figurine state. The nightingale has no additional special powers or telepathic abilities. It can be used in this way for only 24 hours per week (3 nights of full rest), and for only 8 hours at a time.
Faint enchantment and transmutation; CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item, cure critical wounds, animate objects; Price 5,000 gp.
