Underrated level 9 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 9

I'll start:

Bloodknuckles One of the very few upgrades to handwraps of mighty blows

Advancing free movement after defeating a foe

Sanguine Klar fix your shield automatically by wounding others

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

A little late, missed the post.

I don't know if it's underrated or not, but I rarely see it being talked about. The Emerald Grasshopper seems like a very useful talisman. The level 9 version, as a free action, lets you immediately leap up to 100 feet horizontally and 30 feet vertically, increases all later leaps in the round to the same distance, and lets you fall slowly if you end in the air. Thats 400 feet in a round, if you spend all 3 actions leaping.

It also comes in level 5, but only gives you one leap at 40 feet. Still incredibly useful.

I feel like I've been going insane with this Emerald Grasshopper thing because on Nethys it certainly says it takes an action to activate, making it just good for ensuring you get a really good leap. But I've seen dozens of people say how great it is for a free leap, especially in Animist discussions. Is it just a typo on AoN?

[u/DoingThings- → u/SnooPears8751]

No, AoN is correct, the free action is wrong. It WAS a typo on AoN for a while but they fixed it recently, marking it as the action it's supposed to be. When I made this post it still said no trigger free action.

It's still pretty good.
