- I'd say it's easily the most expensive of the lot, and probably doesn't even need the +1 luck bonus to saves to be comparable to everyone else's items. Its uniqueness made it the hardest to guestimate price for, though. I like the versatility of it, so I'm kind of proud of it. I think it's a neat item. -gm
- This thing is sick. I love it. So versatile. Basically a ~Cloak of Displacement merged with Boots of Speed merged with Cape of Mounte Bank merged with a charged Ring of Freedom of Movement + a weak Luck stone. -Mattie
- Do all of that and you get 3 rounds of buffed-action only. -gm
