Scaling magic Brass Knuckles (for Rogue)


Advice


Like the title says I'm trying to create a scaling magic item (brass knuckles) in this case for a UC Rogue and I have very little idea what magic to include to it.

The idea is from the hearthstone card "Brass Knuckles"
https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/hearthstone.gamepedia.com/thumb/f/fe/Brass _Knuckles(49680)_Gold.png/200px-Brass_Knuckles(49680)_Gold.png?version=d01b 0132776957ce0bfd19062878c7f0

A bling item so to speak for a criminal rogue. Expensive gems on the knuckles, gold knuckles in this case. Punching people with your wealth on a new level so to speak.

It will be a "wonder item" 30% of wealth kn this case based on WBL for a level 6 UC rogue.
Naturally it will have standard +1/+2 bonuses etc but I'm looking for more. Does it grant bonuses to intimidate or spell like abilities?
Maybe at level 6: a +1 cruel brass knuckles?

All help, suggestions and cookies (cinnaonbread or not) or are more than welcome.


So far I'm thinking of the following:

Level 6: +1 heartseeker
Level 8: +2 heartseeker?
Level 10: Some spell that might cause a blinding flash etc. Something to "debuff" the enemy through sight etc.

Anyone experienced with scaling magic items?


I've had a couple scaling items. You've got a pretty cool concept, and as a wonder item, room to make something that goes beyond just a +10 weapon (if you play to that level). I think dazzling blade from Rival Guide would be an awesome fit for a SLA, if that is a sourcebook allowable in your campaign.

There's also the +1 enhancements dazzling radiance from Dirty Tactics Toolbox and ominous from Ultimate Equipment. Ominous might do well with a bit of reflavoring for this item, but seems like a good fit.


make it a composite, bypassing most material DR. Sure, you could punch somebody with gold, or you could punch somebody with mithril and admantine.

We have all the d20 paizo materials available.

Dazzling radiance seems just what I am looking for and also that Dazzling blade seems like a great fit.

I think those are much better than heartseeker though might combine either one with heartseeker or just drop hs completely.

If I understood correctly you mean that the material upgrades with time? Sounds like a really nice idea, so one could get it adamantine with 3k gold only nearly instantly.
