I'd like to mention the Organripper from Sinister Spire. For about 3k gold, you get a +1 dagger with +1d6 sneak attack (thought it is not officially stated as sneak attack).

The list needs updating:

Healing belt (MIC 110; 750 GP): Yeah, mentioned earlier, but worth repeating. Cure moderate wounds X3 per day or Cure Serious wounds once per day ? And it refills itself every day ? Yes, please.

(ECS 265; 6,250 GP): 2 of these equal a Boccob Blessed Book. If your wizard prefers crystals that record his spells inside then appear like holograms inside the shard when he prepares them, buy it !

Bracers of Archery, Lesser (DMG 250; 5000 GP): Gain proficiency in any bow ? How about a Greatbow ? Or a foot bow ? Or some other exotic bows ?

Or the Yuan-Ti Serpent Bow!

Yeah, wanted to mention that too, but feared the misspelling monster.

Finals time here at school.  I'll be updating once I have a bit of free time and my sanity returns.

Shatterbolts from the dragon compendium seriously need added to the non-magical bargains list. Crossbow ammunition that has an 18-20x3 threat. And it's not a typo. Heck if I know what they were thinking, but I'm not complaining.
Shh. My common sense is tingling. . .

They were probably thinking about the fact that for each ONE, you're paying for one and a half Greatswords. 75 GP is a lot of money for a single bolt. Further, they have a 50% chance of breaking any time the holder takes 10 or more points of damage, they always break upon a miss, and you can't use GMW or Keen Edge on them.

75gp a shot isn't much at higher level, though I agree it's not nothing either.

And, while they can't be targeted with a keen edge spell, there's no reason they can't be fired out of a keen'd crossbow. Though there's something nagging at the back of my brain about keen not being on the ranged weapon property list in the first place. Still, you can definitely just GMW the crossbow you're firing them out of.

As for their fragility, just keep them in a quiver of elahonna. Any mid to high level archer will be packing one anyways, and keeping the ammo in an extradimensional space should protect it from jostling.

You've got a point. And apparently Keen isn't on the list of ranged weapon properties according to the SRD...

Yeah, not there in the DMG wither. But every DM I've played with has allowed keen on bows/crossbows/shuriken/etc.

Still, they felt like they had to specify you can't put keen edge on them, which wouldn't be an issue if it isn't a valid ranged weapon property. Shrug. YMMV

Well, I'm amused. Dragon Compendium page 119. Spy Button: Smoke. 30 gp.
"This button produces a cloud of impenetrable black smoke that fills a 10-foot cube. It dissipates in 2 rounds, or a single round if affected by moderate or stronger winds." Emphasis mine.

They're ammunition right? Then the price should be for 50 of them, not just 1.

It's Dragon material though, and not in the form of a campaign setting or adventure module. Odds are that it's unbalanced on one end of the spectrum or the other. They honestly have no idea how to balance things.

See what I mean?

I think that impenatrable, in that sense, means you cannot see through it. I would have players roll fort save to avoid being nauseated when they walked in, unless you use the strictest RAW.
Witty sayings? Nah, not right now. Currently playing Dwarf Fortress and League of Legends. I really recommend League of Legends.

It's not an accident that it's 75 for 1. It lists 3 types of arrows with a price for 10 of them, and then a list of arrows that are priced per arrow. This is one of the latter.

It's clear that, RAW, they mean it's opaque. You cannot see through it. But impenetrable literally means that it cannot be penetrated, so, by RAW, the smoke cannot be pierced by any means.

Ehrm...yeah.  There's a reason I haven't put much Dragon Compendium material on the list.  :/

May I suggest the Rod of Ropes be added? Everyone knows that rope is one of the single most useful non-magical items in an adventurer's backpack, and at 4k with the extra features, it's looking awesome for anyone not looking into flying.
Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.
