One of my items manifests bolt 3/day, but I'm carrying arrows anyway and I don't gain any further benefit from their enhancement bonus. It's mainly to prevent me from running out of ammo.
It's 1,080gp by the item crafting rules. Can this be reduced?
Also, does a lesser weapon crystal which costs 1,000gp count as a "very minor thing"?
For the item of bolt.... yeah, we'll just say it counts as a "lesser" item (800 gp or less), and won't track it.
For the weapon crystal. Hmm... For the least one, yes. I think I'm going to have to stick with the price on the Lesser one, though. The least one is quite good, anyway, and it wouldn't even count as one of your "trackable" items. You can upgrade it when you level up later (for no cost), when it drops below the "cut-off" for trackable items.
Wait, I can basically have as many items that I want at 800 gp or less?
I might have to rework my items too...
Edit: I'm also going to have to figure out how to properly protect myself against the cold.
You'll get the benefits of whatever your host has for protection, in general, since you'll be sharing their body warmth and somewhat protected by their gear. The dog itself has fur, which is one level. We can say it has some further protection in the form of weather-appropriate padded or leather barding, if you want.
And yeah... basically as many as you want for 800 gp or less. I do ask that you keep it within reason, though. About 6 or 7 items total, in general. We're trying to have a "low magic" feel... but still basically use this system. I should have probably tweaked it a bit, but I didn't really have the time or inspiration to come up with a new one, and you guys had already started using this one, so...

Least Armor Crystal of Adaptation gives you Endure Elements for 500 gp.
So much for the cold.
