Oracle: what to buy?


Advice


Long story short I have a 3rd lvl oracle of life sitting on 5,8k gps and not knowing what to do with them.
It's important to note that due to this being a PFS character with 9 fame she can't spend more than 1,5k gps on a single item. I expect this to change but currently its' an important limitation (or I would have bought a circlet of persuasion +2).
The character is mostly support (both for healing and for buffing other characters, can be nasty against undeads/demons while channelling) and I decided to spend some money to increase her AC (magic shield and a breastplate).
So, what could be decent items for this kind of character? As I don't expect her to be directly involved in fights I'm mostly looking for ways to increase her spellcasting (stuff like pearls of power, but for oracles).

Any tips coming this way would be appreciated. Thank you.


Cloak of resistance +1: saves are always good and an oracle is in a bind here with two slow saves, and the prime stat doesn't help either.

Runestone of power (the pearl for spontaneous casters): unfortunately it costs 2.000gp, slightly over budget; the pearls are 1.000 and won't work for you :(

Ring of Spell knowledge I: costs 1.500 gp and gives you one more spell known (must be on your class list)

Incense of transcendence: 1.000 gp, and an expensive toy, as it is one-use; allows you to exchange one of your revelations for 24 hours; depending on your mystery/revelations that may or may not be of use

Bandages of rapid recovery: one-use item for 200 gp, which speeds up the recovery of hp and ability damage; maybe of use to you, since you don't have lesser restoration yet and ability damage is not uncommon

I can't think of anything else at that price except maybe scrolls and potions.


Thanks: cloak is something I'm considering and ring of spellknowledge/runestone are very interesting.

As for items with larger price tags feel free to list them. I expect to be able to increase her fame her "spending limit" soon enough.


Sounds like it might be worth saving some if the cash until the spend limit increases. I'd suggest buying the Cloak of Resistance and saving the rest for now.


Don't knock scrolls. To a large extent they can replace pearls of power. Especially useful for covering all the many and varied condition removal spells as well.

Lesser talismans might be useful on a tight per-item budget but with a fair absolute amount to spend.

If you're going to use channeling a lot, a ring of protected life may be useful eventually (9K, not now.)


If not for the price limitation, I would've said to grab a Mnemonic Vestment.

As was said, having the right scrolls can really help with condition removal and such.
