Doppelscroll
This single scroll, made from the skin of a doppelganger, can actually contain an almost limitless number of spells. The scroll may have a spell scribed on just as with a normal spellbook, except that the spell takes up only one page and that no costly inks are required to scribe the scroll–the skin’s own shapeshifting properties form the glyphs of the spell. By giving a command word, the scroll can be made to go blank, allowing another spell to be scribed, and so on. By giving another command word, any spell that has been scribed on the scroll can be recalled. In this way, a wizard may substitute a Doppelscroll for a normal spellbook when preparing spells. Up to 100 spells may be scribed on a Doppelscroll. Though it appears to be a scroll, spells scribed on it cannot be cast from it--only prepared.

Faint Transmutation, CL 5th. Craft Wondrous Item, secret page. Cost 6,000 gp + 480 xp. Price 12,000 gp.

Acorn of Summoning
Each acorn of summoning is a small nut, with a darkwood shell. By crushing the nut between thumb and forefinger, the acorn’s user may summon 1d3 dire squirrels (treat as dire rats, but without the disease ability) or a squirrel swarm (treat as a rat swarm, but without the disease ability). The summoned squirrels last for 5 rounds, after which they return from whence they came.

Faint Conjuration, CL 5th. Craft Wondrous Item, summon nature’s ally II. Cost 150 gp + 12 xp. Price 300 gp.

Diamond of Hardening
Any construct that ingests one of these diamonds gains damage reduction 1/adamantine. If it already has DR/adamantine, the amount of it increases by 1.

Moderate Transmutation, CL 9th. Craft Wondrous Item, hardening*. Cost 10,000 gp + 800 xp. Price 20,000 gp.

Chest of Sanctity
A Chest of Sanctity is a chest made from polished darkwood and adamantine. Each Chest of Sanctity is attuned to a specific deity. Only by presenting the holy symbol of the deity the Chest of Sanctity is attuned to can it be opened. Otherwise, the Chest of Sanctity has an Open Lock DC of 40. A Chest of Sanctity can be opened by the knock spell, but the caster must make a caster level check, opposed by that of the Chest of Sanctity, to succeed.

Moderate Abjuration, CL 11th. Craft Wondrous Item, forbiddance. Cost 1,000 gp + 80 xp. Price 2,000 gp.

Ring of Allies
Each Ring of Allies is attuned to a twin ring, both created at the same time. The wearer of a Ring of Allies gets a +4, rather than +2, when the wearer of his ring’s twin uses the aid another action. In addition, when the two ringbearers flank a creature, they get a +4, rather than +2, bonus on attack rolls.

Strong Divination, CL 12th. Forge Ring, telepathic bond. Cost 6,000 gp + 480 xp (per pair). Price 12,000 gp (per pair).

Bracers of the Ram
The unarmed attack of the wearer of these ram-horn bracers deals lethal damage, and its damage die is increased by one step.

Faint Transmutation, CL 5th. Craft Wondrous Item, bull’s strength. Cost 4,000 gp + 320 xp. Price 8,000 gp.

Teabag of Steaming Breath
The drinker of a cup of tea made from a Teabag of Steaming Breath may breath out a 30 ft. cone of steam. The tea must be drunk while it is still hot to grant the breath weapon. The area of the breath weapon is covered in steam, which functions as the obscuring mist spell, and creatures within the steam take 1 point of heat damage each round. The breath weapon may only be used once. If it is not used within 24 hours of drinking the tea, it is lost. Each teabag is sufficient to produce a single cup of tea.

CL 5th, Faint Conjuration and Evocation. Craft Wondrous Item, burning hands, obscuring mist. Cost 150 gp + 12 xp. Price 300 gp.

Teakettle of Steaming Breath
Once per day, this teakettle, when given the command word, fills itself with four cups worth of tea. Anyone drinking the tea is treated as if they had drunk tea brewed by a Teabag of Steaming Breath.

CL 5th, Moderate Conjuration and Evocation. Craft Wondrous Item, burning hands, obscuring mist. Cost 4,500 gp + 360 xp. Price 9,000 gp.

I think a few parties need to start having regular tea time every day. ;D

Heh heh... D&D in Victorian era England.

Tea-drinker 1: *sips tea* *spits steam* I say, what swill was that?"
Rest of the party: *faces scald*

Have the Acorn of Summoning also be able to call a single Skiruid Ninja (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fc/20060721a).

The Doppelscroll should be priced at 12,500gp to match the Boccob's Blessed Book - possibly more for two reasons:

First, the Boccob's Blessed Book doesn't change all spells to take only one page, though I suspect a full wizard's library across all levels would be around a hundred spells.

Second, if this isn't an exact duplicate of the Blessed Book, it allows any class with UMD access to a large range of spells, given that it's a scroll, rather then a spellbook. What would be the mechanic if the Doppelscroll is used to cast spells direclty from the scroll? Do the spells cast that way disappear? Is there a per day usage for using it in that fashion?

A Doppelscroll can easily hold one hundred ninth level spells. A Blessed Book can hold all that, and more.

Nope, spells can't be cast from the scroll. It's a scroll in appearance, a spellbook in function.

Yah, but who's going to stick 110 9th level spells in their spell book without picking up a nice array of 1st through 8th level spells? :)

Hm... otherewise, I'd suggest putting a line stating that the Doppelscroll acts as a spellbook and not a regular scroll to prevent an enterprising player from coming up with the same idea as I did about how it could possibly be used.

The rest of the items are pretty good, the tea items gave me a chuckle. :)
