So my characters are headed to Brinewall, and I wanted to craft several items for the treasure at the end, erring on the side of awesome, because these are supposed to be campaign defining items. Haven't priced these, but they all follow similar mechanics (4-5k base item, with slightly empowered third level spell attached, useable 1/day, drains item of power for 1 hr)
My players:
Dwarf Samurai
Half Elf Bard
Half Elf Sorcerer
Human Cleric of Erastil
Human Ninja (to my shame, it's my GMNPC as I wanted to roll the bones too)
For the Dwarf Samurai:
Belt of the Juggernaut
This worn steel belt is of dwarven manufacture and depicts as a buckle, a dwarven face bellowing defiance. You feel a sense of invincibility while wearing it.
Belt of strength +2, 1/day can cast deadly juggernaut. Size/weapon increases to large during this transformation. When spell runs out, belt loses magic for 1 hr.
For the Half Elf Bard:
The Raven Cloak of the Gallow lord
This cloak is covered all over with raven feathers, black as night. While you wear it, a wisecracking pair of ghostly ravens appear, one perched on each of your shoulders.
As circlet of persuasion, but adds to knowledge and intelligence based checks instead of charisma based checks (including bardic knowledge). 1/day can cast Mad Monkeys as the spell, except ravens answer your call (the swarm can fly, blinded instead of deafened if save is failed against distraction attack). When spell runs out, cloak loses magic for 1 hr.
For the Half Elf Sorceress:
Masque of the Fairie Queen
This delicate, beautiful, masquerade prop seems to be made of gossamer and moonlight. On the inside is inscribed in elven: All Shall Love Me and Despair.
As headband of alluring charisma (takes up face slot). 1/day can cast the spell Unadulterated loathing, but subject that fails save is panicked with awe, and not nauseated when within 60ft of the wearer. Spell lasts for minutes/level. When spell runs out, Masque loses magic for 1 hr.
For the Human Ninja:
Iga Family Crest
This medallion is worn and non-descript. On one side is the carving of a maple leaf. On the other, the following inscription in Tien: Endure, in enduring, grow strong.
As Amulet of Mighty Fist (Agile), 1/day can cast Major Image without the concentration duration (image reacts to thoughts). When spell runs out (rounds/level), medallion loses magic for 1 hr.
What do people think? I also need your help for the cleric's item. I'm drawing a blank. Some kind of bow, I'm suspecting, but what should the spell be?

No opinion? Thats strange. I guess they might not be interesting enough.

For the bow have it cast I Gravity Bow or one of the cool ranger archer spells
Maybe you should have it as a lessor Bracers of Archery instead of the bow

Hmm, I'll go with the lesser bracers or archery. And I'll let them cast Clairaudience/Clairvoyance 1/day as the spell. If you have line of sight to the area of effect, you can attack creatures that you can see with your longbow as if they were within the first range increment of your weapon. (Sniping 1/day basically)
Ol' Deadeye's cuffs.
These stag horn trimmed bracers have the pithy wisdom of Erastil carved in to them. While wearing them, your eyes unconciously scan the horizon, as if searching for dangers a long way off.
