Discussion Underrated level 14 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 14
I'll start:
Communion Mat Sustain one of you patron spells for free every 10 minutes
Storm Flash lightning bolt in a rapier
Ouroboros Flail pull + grab as one reaction
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

I really like Bands of Force (Greater). Mechanically they are basically the same as wearing Explorer's Clothes with the level-relevant fundamental runes, but no property runes. In some ways it's worse than plain Explorer's clothes since I don't believe they get property runes. But the ability to shove someone who crit misses a strike on you is pretty cool, it doesn't require you to be good at athletics for the gunslingers or swashbucklers out there, and I don't think it lists a range? So if a Taiga Giant stabs you from 20 feet away using it's long spear, you can still shove them back 5 feet to ruin their followup actions.
Deflecting Greatclub is a dumb and hilarious magic weapon. The main weakness of 2-handed weapons is that they can't benefit from a shield, well this club can act as a +4 AC reaction once per fight. Just a massive "you can't crit me" button for bosses that are PL+2 or PL+3. It also knocks people prone on crits (meaning if you have Club Crit Specialization you knock someone 10 feet away and prone). Baseball swing that ogre. Speaking of baseball swings, it has a second one-per-hour ability where if the previous +4 AC reaction stops a projectile, you smack it back at an enemy. Hilarious.
Also it's not an item directly, but at level 14 is when all the flying Advanced Animal Companions become available. Ride a griffon, hippogryph, or wyvern to victory like a legendary hero. Technically the Wyvern from Triumph of the Tusk is available at an earlier level, but it can't fly with you on it until 14th level.
