So we just finished the first book of Jade Regent and are level 4, and the DM has asked us what kind of magic items we would like to see throughout the next book as he's doing prep work...and to be honest I have no idea beyond the boring stuff.
Normally when I'm a player rather than the DM I just ask them if I can use the Automatic Bonus Progression while just not getting items since I personally am not a fan of them, and my character really doesn't have much use out of them other than raw stats. Combine this with a lack of knowledge about what magic items are out there (as I said, I usually just avoid them), I am kind of at a loss with what ideas to give him.
Other than the big 6 what kind of things would be useful or interesting for a character with these restrictions/details?
- Unarmored, does not wear it, will not wear it.
- two-handed weapon user (Katana), but preferably the current weapon should never be replaced as he uses the Legacy weapon feat and for Roleplay purposes.
- Ex-yakuza bodyguard attempting to create his own new clan with the old notions of honor rather than just about money and crime (romanticized notions like in the Yakuza games). Kind of charismatic, but mostly wisdom based
- Takes hits and just tanks them through temp HP, huge base HP, and DR via Scar Tissue and the Berserker sphere + darkness defender benefits. He usually just uses Bloody Counter to make a hit auto go through and give him a free attack, comboing with Reapers Momentum.
- Party defender. He is always front and center in melee, forcing enemies to deal with him or taking heavy penalties if they don't, and he uses the Defend Other talent to just forcibly prevent things from hitting his allies.
Fun useful items I like to pick up:
Campfire Bead(Smokeless campfire)
Traveler's Anytool
Immovable Rod is a classic(Your imagination is the limit)
Whispering Coins can be a handy mini divination effect.
Robe of INFINITE TWINE
Ring of sustenance to avoid dying in his sleep.
Circlet of persuasion to help with social stuff.
A tengu drinking jug because I bet he's into that kind of thing.

The tengu Drinking Jug is actually pretty sweet and I completely forgot about it.
Though I'm curious what you mean by the ring would keep a character from dying in their sleep?
The ring cuts down your need for sleep.
This ring continually provides its wearer with life-sustaining nourishment. The ring also refreshes the body and mind; its wearer only needs to sleep 2 hours per day to gain the benefit of 8 hours of sleep. This allows a spellcaster that requires rest to prepare spells to do so after only 2 hours, but does not allow a spellcaster to prepare spells more than once per day. The ring must be worn for a full week before it begins to work. If it is removed, the owner must wear it for another week to reattune it to himself.

I saw that part, I was just confused with the correlation I suppose. Focusing too much on the "why would I just die in my sleep?" angle.
Ex-yakuza trying to create his own clan, presumably from a bunch of people with shady histories, focusing on honor and excluding crime. You don't think he needs to watch his back?

Ok yeah I was just thinking too literal for a moment there lol. I get what you meant now my bad.
