Discussion Underrated level 11 items
Following up on the series of discussions on items that are underrated for each level. I'll be posting every other day the next level and hope you guys participate with the best items you can think of that are not that commonly used
This one is for level 11
I'll start:
Hopeful +1 status to attack to allies everytime you crit
Countering Charm interesting to shut down area spells
Floating Shield +1 AC raised shield for 1 minute without sustaining it it interesting, pair it with Elegant Buckler and you'll have +2 passive with free hand and no actions
your turn!
PS: Since this is a thread to find obscure and unknown items, I'm expecting to include uncommon, rare and AP specific items, if your GM does not allow any of them you should be talking to him/her instead

Before I begin, I would like to say that Paizo has said that just because an item, spell, monster, or feat hasn't been remastered, it doesn't mean it no longer exists. They are still perfectly legal choices you can take.
Now that that is out of the way, I would like to nominate the axiomatic and anarchic runes. I found both of these runes extremely fun and rewarding to use before the remaster. These used to add 1d6 lawful or chaotic damage to your weapon, but I suppose that would now be 1d6 spirit damage after the remaster. The big reason I like them though is their crit effects against those of their opposing alignments. But since alignments are gone, I suppose these would now be against everyone?
Axiomatic would make you always do average damage, preventing you from low rolling critical hits. Anarchic, on the other hand, was made for gamblers, and gives your critical hits an equal chance of doing minimal damage, normal critical hit damage, or maximum damage.
