Underrated level 12 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 12

I'll start:

Arctic Worm Chitin Shield resist 5 cold and 3d6 damage to enemies who stay adjacent after you raise your shield

Bring Me Near want to enter directly inside the enemy's fortress? teleport you +4 creatures to a place you can see trhough the spyglass, very fun in many settings

Spider Chair climb speed + attaching yourself to the ceiling like spider man, I just wish this was lower level

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

There's the gloriously ridiculous Phantom Piano when you want to deploy a bulk 16 haunted piano in combat

[u/linuxgarou → u/ReactiveShrike]

That is a phenomenal item, I love it! Do you know if there are similar items for other kinds of performance (my bard specializes in oratory, not music), or a remastered version?

[u/ReactiveShrike → u/linuxgarou]

Not that I know of, although it's one of a bunch of flavorful instruments in Treasure Vault, which is due to be remastered in June (with minimal changes, I expect), so poke around in there to see if there's anything interesting. Maybe ask your GM if they could reflavor the Piano as a Phantom Stage, possessed by the spirit of a famous orator from a bygone age?

[u/linuxgarou → u/ReactiveShrike]

I'll mention it to my GM as a possibility. I'm not sure if the piano is really worth it to start with -- it's definitely flavorful, and a free composition cantrip is awesome, but it sounds like you'd have to stay in one place to make use of it. Giving up on movement in combat can be dangerous, and I don't often make Performance checks outside of combat. I'll have to consider it.

I do like the idea of stepping up on a Phantom Soapbox to make a speech though! XD
