...I kind of like the Forceful Weapon, but I'm not certain how it's balanced versus ghost touch. I imagine only the 1d8 force would fully affect incorporeal, the remainder being halved (because the weapon's still magical)?
Sorry, possibly overthinking.

Interestingly, changing initiative can be dangerous to action economy.
Using that item you choose to re-roll your initiative, you were on 10, it's now 5 - oh dear, have you now missed your go?
Or, worse, you were on 10, now you are on 12, do you get a second go in the same round? And if you re-roll on 12, and get 15, a third, and re-roll on 15 and get 20, a fourth?
Hey, it could happen!
Beware action economy changers, they can have unforeseen complexities.

Lo, in bygone days did the mighty archmage Vertiginzeterax the Soulbinder find himself sorely vexed by trials that begat sleepless nights and wore at his unmatched mind. To find an end to these woes, he bent his considerable will to the manufacture of an item to combat his nightly demons. He spent long hours in consultation with the Imperious Sister Vinegarous Strinkladolmanatz, the High Priestess of the Ochre God, Callumnippurpentagrog, his adventuring companion in bygon days. She counseled him and likewise poured the power of her mighty deity into the vessel Vertiginzeterax devised. For days the two labored with little rest, until finally the task was done. The weary but grateful Vertinginzeterax thanked the High Priestess and returned to his lonely tower on the high cliffs above the Sea of Ennui, confident in the power of his new ring, and nevermore were his nights disturbed by troubling events.
This platinum band is liberally coated in gold filigree and set with a massive blue diamond. Inscribed in Draconic on the inside of the band are the words "By the power of wizardly might and divine grace shall your passage be ever sure and fraught not with peril."

Within a 30 foot radius of the egg at the time of its detonation, four deinonychus appear and attack any creatures hostile to the user. These dinosaurs disappear after a minute.

Alternately, on its initiative, an ally can forgo the 12 round bonus for one of the following effects:
- bypass the creature's SR with the next spell cast.
- bypass the creature's DR with the next attack.
- gain the benefits of a true strike on the next attack roll against the creature.
