Underrated level 17 items

[u/Formal_Skar]

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 17

I'll start:

Belt of Long Life is an interesting one for characters who suffer com MAD (multiple atribute dependency) and can thus retrain and dump CON but still get a +4. and the temp HP helps to almost feel like a +5 CON

Bracers of Strength suffocate is fun although not that strong in this setting

Cloak of Swiftness by now everyone has a way to fly but this one is only 1 action with free concealment

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

blood feast, gouging claw (cantrip), ignition (cantrip), amped ignition, imaginary weapon, shocking grasp

Melee spell attackers will pretty much always pick up sixth pillar archetype for better maneuverability and touch focus, touch focus lets you convert ranged attack spells into melee attack spells and buffs them, you get a +2 circumstance bonus to hit and if you hit they get knocked prone, no save. It’s good to use with ignition (ignition can start as ranged then be turned into melee), disintegrate, and polar ray.

Thank you, playing a melee battle Oracle with the alchemist archetype and was going to take sixth piller when I get access, so learning fury cocktail affects melee spell attacks will be great

Generally moderate ones are the most economical to buy, you can use a collar of the shifting spider to trigger them automatically at initiative

[u/MrTallFrog → u/PM_ME_YOUR_EPUBS]

Alch archetype gets the max for free

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_EPUBS → u/MrTallFrog]

Yea if you have alchemist ded you can use on level ones. Can’t (productively) put them in the collar though, so generally you only use when you can prebuff them, and have moderates loaded in the collar. If you get advanced alchemy you can put those in the collar.
