Just curious really. Since one can use masterwork tools to bump up most, if not all of their skill rolls by +2, what actual items do your characters use for said skills?
For example. A joke book for perform comedy. Various tomes for knowledge checks. Fine rune carving tools for spellcrafting (making magic items in this case).
This is more about flavor than mechanics really, and is meant to be a fun, possible resource to give others ideas for their characters and their tools. So, what are some fun masterwork tools you've used or want to / intend to use some day for your skills?
A pair of angry eyebrows glued to my head as a one time use intimidation tool.
A pair of Masterwork Groucho Marx glasses for disguise.
Intimidate I go with a fearsome helmet that complements my armor and obscures my face (similar to hellknight helmets). And my Evangelist uses a Soapbox for Perform (Oratory).
Gloves with tiny razor blades attached for sleight of hand (cuts through their pockets and coin purses).
My favorite has been Masterwork Sock Puppets, for perform (oratory) without a common language.
My current character has:
Artisan Tools (Weapons), Masterwork [+2 craft]
Blue Book [+2 k(local), bluff, diplomacy]
Book of Letters [+2 diplomacy, linguistics]
Guide: Linguistics (Ghol-Gan, Pirates) +2 [GM Special]
Merchant's Scales [+2 appraise]
Thief's Tools, Masterwork [+2 disable device]
Pirate's outfit, fancy, MW: +2 Diplomacy (Pirates) [GM Special]
Thinking about upgrading my Lyre of Building to Masterwork to get an additional +2.

Both are equally ridiculous really.

I don't know about equally. They're both played for laughs and comically oversized, but covering them in skulls is a little less over-the-top than covering them in lightning and glowing floating crystals.
I've got the masterwork artisan tools for +2 on Craft (weapon); it's coming in handy now that I finally have Craft Magic Arms. I've also made a lot of use of the crowbar for +2 on Strength checks to do stuff.
