As the title says, I'm looking for some ideas as to new (or old, so long as it's not in the DMG) wondrous items in the 28k-200k range, as I'd like to try playing without the more powerful tomes and manuals, and that means those slots have to be taken by other things (or double up, but I'd rather not). I'm looking for a substantial number of them, nothing that'll boost spell DCs (as keeping those under control was a major motivation in wanting to try leaving out the tomes/manuals), preferably some stuff to help out warrior-sorts. I'm aiming for an average price in the 120,000 range, but of course anything in 28-200 is welcome. Anyone have any ideas, or know of any good ones?

(Here's one that I came up with, but can't figure out what the price should be: Robe of the Fighter, gives proficiency with all weapons, +2 attack and +3 damage with weapons he already has proficiency in, 5 deflection bonus to AC, and DR 3/-)

Well, you should ALWAYS try this thread when looking for homebrew (it is linked from the "formerly stickied" sticky thread at the top of the homebrew forum):

Demon's Belt: Continuous item of Dimensional Anchor for when you are off-plane and don't want to get Banished/Dismissed, or want to be prepared for prismatic effects.

Master's and Grandmaster's Wizards Chess Sets (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7443116&postcount=15): Random_Person made a chessboard whose pieces enlarge and animate to fight, I created these more powerful version with tweaked rules. If you want to see his version, view the whole thread, then look at the first post.

Wizards Xiangqi Set (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133966): After doing the above, I thought I might expand it to at least one non-Western version of Chess.

Arc Vest and Arcing Shield/Armor Enchantment (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116902): A bit cheaper than what you were asking for, but since you need a PAIR of them and they are an extra for armor (meaning they don't take up a separate slot if you don't want them to), I think it counts. Major electricity damage for fighters and rogues, but requires careful teamwork.

Thanks. Although now that I've thought of it I realized that reworking inherent bonuses makes more sense than eliminating them, so the question is largely moot. Might be worthwhile anyway, though.
