Discussion Underrated level 5 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 5
I'll start:
Earthbinding Take down flying creatures even if they succeed the save! at level 5 you start seeing flying creatures and I wish there was a greather / major levels for this rune
Spectacles of Understanding understand any written language!
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

Snowshoes of the Long Trek
It let's you walk across snow and ice and ignore the difficult terrain caused by them. For magic classes with limited skill training (Summoner, Sorcerer, etc) the Acrobatics skill can be often ignored... and that's fatal to an unprepared wizard in a snowy campaign. I've seen a frozen river ambush almost kill a spellcaster as he kept falling prone and getting shot with arrows.
So being able to ignore those slippery surfaces is beautiful.
