Body hopping (possession) and items


Advice

Silver Crusade

Hey all,

I'm planning on creating a character focused on the possession of enemy bodies. I've gotten so far as to be able to cast possession at level 6, and fight reasonably well in the new body at level 7. But... Items.

I'm looking for an item that lets you store stuff in your soul, preferably. If that can't be found, I'm looking for an item that can be easily (and if possible, stealthily) apported to your new body. Perhaps even an invisible soulbound storing item, that I can always call to me.

Do you fine folks have any idea?


The Apport Item spell is an obvious one, or Secluded Grimoire for a wizard. I think most of the answers will be spell effects rather than magic items - magic items don't work the way you want.

Ooohh I like secluded grimoire! What a great spell!

Don't need it, though, since my concept is psychic. But it is good!

Spells, though, might help too. Apport object, I found, but it's very short range.

I find very little spells to return my crap to me...


How are you casting possession at level 6? ^_^


Lesser Planar Binding should work - having some teleporting imp bring your stuff to you seems like a low-cost service to ask. 5th level spell though so it'll be a few levels yet. Secret Chest is the same level for a more specialised spell to do the job. Instant Summons is even higher level, 7th.

Shrink Item is a 3rd level spell which might make it easier to hide or teleport an item.

Be a samsaran psychic and choose the racial trait mystic past life: medium. Gives a nice selection of early spells.

If you don't like samsarans, you could do it at level 7 with 5 levels psychic, witch, or wizard, and 2 levels pathfinder savant.

Anyway, 6 levels mutation mind, and 1 level ID rager anger / steelblood (and extra rage) gives all relevant weapon and armor proficiencies and gives +10 str (and -2 dex and int) at the speed of a swift action, inside the new body. The ID rager level also gives free skill focus: survival, which is a nice step up to eldritch heritage: orc.

Lesser planar binding is a nice idea. I could make that spell into a level 4 spell, so that's reasonable. It's a little risky, though, and a lot of work. But thanks, it's an option for dire needs.

Secret chest (and 3rd level: secret coffer) require me to hold the replica, which I don't, anymore...

Instant summons doesn't work, because you need to crush a sapphire that I don't have, and which also makes a lot of noise :)

So, I'm forced to give my precious items to outsiders who hate me for forcing them to do my tasks :D

Oh well... ;)
