Overclaw Gauntlet
Used by the Dz’ata Möschu, generally as an off-hand weapon, the overclaw gauntlet is a full hand metal glove. The final portion of the fingers taper into 3 inch spikes, which taper to sharpened blades along the inside.
In battle the Dz’ata Möschu will often use them to assist in disarming their foes: grabbing their blades as they are swung and wresting them from their opponents.
An overclaw gauntlet forged for a medium-sized hand deals 1d6 points of damage and threatens a critical on a roll of 20. It is considered a light weapon.
Creatures with a natural claw attack can treat the gauntlet as a natural weapon for all effects related to off-hand weapons, the multiattack feat, etc.

Dz’ata Möschu – the sleepless killers
The product of a mystical breeding program combining diabolic bloodlines with the kingdom’s finest soldiers, the Dz’ata Möschu were originally created by an ancient race to serve as soldiers and guards. When that race was destroyed the Dzta Möschu survived and became the dominant culture in the blasted region that remained. They occupy the mountainous wastelands in the northern central region of the middle kingdoms.
Their history lost in the mists of time, the Dz’ata Möschu are now considered little more than horrible monsters by the people of the middle kingdoms, and little is known of their culture. They have retained their warlike nature, and so most encounters with them come to violence. As a society, they are extremely lawful and somewhat evil. Individuals tend to match this. The only peaceful relations they have are by ancient tradition with the small nests of Kenku that also occupy the region.
Physically very similar to gargoyles, these people have extremely tough, stony skin, powerful wings, horns, claws and tails.
Dz’ata Möschu characters possess the following racial traits.
+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +4 Constitution, -2 Inteligence, -2 Charisma.
Medium size.
A Dz’ata Möschu’s base land speed is 30 feet. It also has a fly speed of 40 feet (average).
Darkvision out to 60 feet.
A Dz’ata Möschu has a +2 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, and Spot checks, and an additional +8 bonus on Hide checks when it is concealed against a background of stone.
+4 natural armor bonus.
Special Qualities (see above): Damage reduction 5/magic, freeze.
Automatic Languages: Möschu.
Bonus Languages: Auran, Dwarven, Elven, Gnome, Halfling, Giant, Terran or Common.
Favored Class: Fighter.
Level adjustment +2.

Fireflyer in a Jar
These rare and strange items amount to a fireflyer literally magically trapped in a jar. The most common fireflyer in a jar is one that produces light. In certain magical realms, such as the Phyloctaete, children catch fireflyers in jars and use them to read and play by. In most locations though, they have scarcely been heard of.
The fireflyer in a jar is created when someone catches a fireflyer off its guard, trapping it in a jar. This has the effect of essentially charming the fireflyer until it it set free. If the jar is opened or smashed, the fireflyer is set free from its bonds, and so escapes into the wild and will act accordingly, possibly even attacking whoever sets them free.
Cost: depends on the spell level of the fireflyer, increasing roughly exponentially starting at 500gp (lvl2 – 1000gp, 3 – 2000gp, 4 – 4000gp, etc.) Though, these costs are much less in regions of high magic.

Rapid Grow
Rapid Grow
Transmutation [Time/Plant]
Level: Druid 6, Time 5, Plant 6
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Effect: One plant grows at a rate of one year per round
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Rapid grow allows a plant to undergo one growing season per round for a single plant, during which roots extend into the ground and leaves, seeds, cones, and/or needles accumulate in the space provided. If there is not enough space for the plant to grow into, the growth is stunted. The spell effect takes into consideration the normal amound of light and water that the plant would normally receive for its surroundings. This makes it difficult to use in deep dungeons. For instance, a 20th level druid or priest of Time can turn a seedling into a 20-yr-old tree with all the normal characteristics of the tree in the conditions provided in 20 rounds. The caster must focus on the spell for each round of its duration. An unwilling plant may make a will save to avoid this effect.
The material component is a seed of a plant that you want to grow (or the already existing plant you wish to age). The somatic is the rising of one’s arms upward from the ground. The verbal component is the phrase “Ch-ch-ch-chia!”

Slings and Arrows of Outrageous Fortune
To be or not to be, that is the question—
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them. — some bard
The slings are hewn of fine wood and a ruddy leather and are of masterwork quality, are magically enhanced +2, and have the power of seeking. The arrows are also masterwork and +2 seeking, and bear the mark of two white feathers with two red stripes and one red feather with two white stripes. The use of the sling or the arrows leaves dark red marks on the two fingers or the hands of the wielder.
Cost: 18,300 for the sling, 500 apiece for the arrows
