is there a magic item that allows long distance communication?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


is there a magic item that allows long distance communication? a scrying mirror would be to big for what i would like do with it.

i know of the Communique Rings but they are to limited for what i would want them for.

it would be so much easier if there where cellphones. making a field againt and want to be able to keep in contact with his client/lord/guild leader.


There are reasons why news takes so long to get from one place to another. This is one of them.


Scrolls of Whispering Wind? Have preplanned times for them to be in an area to hear your message. If that doesn't cover the distance needed, you will have to look at clairvoyance/clairaudience spells or crystal ball (with telepathy if you aren't a caster).

They're very pricey (40k gp), but ring gates might do the trick. You could pass notes through them, or stick your head through and talk. Of course, their function goes way beyond just communication, hence the $$.

That is probably better than a crystal ball actually (assuming the 100 mile limit isn't an issue). Definitely cheaper than having to have 2 crystal balls for two way communication.

you could use sending, but make sure to have plenty of charges


I had a group once that crafted their own feather tokens for transporting messages as needed. it can get costly if you are a chatty Cathy though.


I just made up a crystal ball type object completely off the cuff. Don't ask me what spells were used or how much it cost (though they are quite expensive), as I did it just for my homebrew campaign for the former mentor of my players to communicate back and forth with him.

Permanent telepathy would take care of it quite efficiently.

If you want an item maybe make a group of rings that can all telepathically call each other.

DSP has 'Linked' armor which allows for telepathic communication but there was no mention of if this is PFS/core only, so I didn't want to bring it up. It is pretty much a staple in our groups once we get mid/high levels and have money to toss at conveniences.
