Info on your class, race, and build would be required to give useful advice.

Kierato is right - some details are good, that said a +1 bow with some money left invest in some magical bolts.

Damn hobo adventurers......


Arent magical bolts like 50 for 2,000 gold?

Is your AC okay? If not, go for a magic/mithral chain shirt. Are you set on the crossbow? A magic bow would be easier to use. Are you having trouble carrying around all your stuff? A handy haversack or bag of holding would be helpful.

Not a lot of info given, but those are all good choices.

Hence "some"... maybe a handful of +1, maybe some ghost touch, silvered and adamandite etc


Hat of Disguise.

Ring of Feather Falling is awesome imho. it has saved several of my characters from certain death.

Wait, you are a bard and an adventurer...you need...FAME...I suggest you blow at least a couple hundred in the tavern and buy rounds of drinks! Don't forget to get yourself something nice to keep you warm at night (probably another couple of hundred) Maybe a nice piece of paper naming you a lord of somewosname or other (probably the rest of your cash)...maybe they'll throw in a house! (probably haunted) or a vast track of land or something...

Or you could just get a +1 weapon or something...you know...to increase your usefullness...

I agree. Also if you are a skill-based bard, the appropriate item for a +5 to the skill you use most (boots of elvenkind, cloak of elvenkind, eyes of the eagle, googles of minute seeing) are very nice.

1st level scrolls of spells you don't know and will rarely need (like unseen servant, comprehend languages, and identify). A wand of cure light is great as well and you can get it for 2 PA instead of the 750 gp.

.... oh, and cold iron and silver crossbow bolts.

Buy nothing. Keep saving up. You'll thank me once you have your very own hat of disguise or cloak of arachnida. ;)

First things first...hookers and beer. Gotta start with the important stuff.

As a bard, you could spend a little of this money to gain contacts in town. Anyone could do this, but it seems in character for a bard.


My AC is 17 at the moment...wearing a +1 chain shirt. My dex isnt high enough to warrant a mithral one though.

Cloak of resistance would be another good choice.

The crossbow is actually a pretty special one the DM cooked up. It duplicates ammo to a certain extent and gives the rapid reload feat, so it funcitons pretty much like a bow.

Whats so good about the hat of disguise?

I'd avoid spending it on a +1 weapon enhancement unless you're really dying to have that extra 1hp of damage (that being the only difference versus MW, save a few cases of needing magic to beat DR -- and a 25gp scroll of Magic Weapon does the job there).

Borrow 100gp from a party member and buy both a Cloak of Resistance +1 and a Hat of Disguise for 2800gp -- that'll pack the most fun + utility into a single shopping-trip. What's so good about the hat? Use your imagination: you have full-time Disguise Self.

Oh, jeez, M.S. is right! When I said to keep saving up, I must have figured they finally bumped up the price of the hat of disguise. I would... based not on its item creation cost (which is reasonable for constant emulation of a 1st-level spell) but on the sheer utility of the item. Every famous person, every spy, and every hideous-but-human-sized monster in your campaign world should be coveting that hat. ;)


Build an orphanage and support it.

Y'know, I actually had one of my NG characters do that. I think it made the rest of the party (who were buying, you know, private manors and so forth) feel kind of guilty. But then, I was the cleric - making others feel guilt counts as "role playing" for a cleric. ;)

You're my hero. +1


So what kind of situations would a hat of disguise be useful for?

So far we have mostly done standard adventuring stuff, so i dont really know how the hat could help...

My first purchase is usually a Handy Haversack lol. I hate having to micro manage what I can and cant carry. I like being the guy that has it all....

You need a 50 foot rope... got it
you need a 10 foot pool... got a retractable one right here
What... we are in a maze... well this chalk should come in handy!

Plus I tend to be a loot whore... I take whatever isn't bolted down... and depending on how much its worth that might not stop me either :P

The players in my game are the same. In fact atm in my game they are trying to figure out how to take 4 500 pound book shelves out of a evil temple on the plane of shadow. The shelves make anything placed on them resistant to Fire so they are expensive... but come on. Thats 2000 pounds in the middle of the swamp on the plane of shadow in the middle of a temple of Shar.

Cant say I wouldn't be trying the same thing though hehe.


So uh, any ideas what the hat of disguise could be used for?

You're thinking too small my man.

Think about all the times it would be useful to masquerade as one of the bad guys, gather information, do some infiltration work, all sorts of things.

Like this (but without the stupid reflection reaction)

If your adventure only consists of walking into a new dungeon room, killing everything inside and taking the valuable stuff, then you may not get much use out of a hat of disguise.

However, if you ever need to talk to anyone ever, the ability to look like someone else can be invaluable.
