EDIT: Ok so I guess since such a list doesn't exist I'll take a crack at building one. I'll also expand beyond magic items to include spells, feats, etc. I'm going to leave out ACFs as I think we have a few guides floating around for those.

Things that grant class features/abilities

Items

Monks Belt (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#beltMonks): Grants the AC and unarmed damage of a 5th-level monk. This AC bonus functions just like the monk’s AC bonus.
Ring of Evasion (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/rings.htm#evasion): Grants Evasion. Technically only the ability to avoid damage as if she had evasion but I think that works out to be the same when it comes to stacking for Improved Evasion. I may be wrong though, I've always played it as granting evasion for pre-reqs and stacking and as I just had pointed out to me with the Druids Vestments (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=12863244&postcount=3) I've been playing this game for years with mistaken understandings of some things.
Arcane Tools (MiC) Grants trapfinding


Spells

Heroics: Temporarily grants bonus Fighter feats, which are pretty much the Fighter's only "class feature".


Feats

Wild Cohort (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20031118a) Grants an Animal Companion, sorta
Obtain Familiar (Complete Arcane) Grants a Familiar to a spellcaster that otherwise wouldn't have one.


Things that improve class features/abilities

Items

Druids Vestments (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#vestmentDruids): When this item is worn by a character with the wild shape ability, the character can use that ability one additional time each day

Original post

Is there a list of items that grant class features? I know of the Monks Belt (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#beltMonks), Druids Vestments (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#vestmentDruids), and the Ring of Evasion (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/rings.htm#evasion). Are there any others? I don't have access to the MIC right now so I can't search through that myself but I was hoping I could get some assistance from the playground in finding other items like those above, or maybe some guidelines on creating items for others classes class features.

Thanks,

I don't know a list that contains that, but Arcane Tools (MiC, gives trapfinding) would have to be on it.

Druid's Vestments don't actually grant a class feature, just enhance an existing one.

Huh? Really? ... Well I'll be damned, I guess I never read it very close as I always assumed it granted one use of the basic Druid5 Wild Shape ability.

So does anyone else have any items that grant class features?

I dont think such a list exists.

Is there a particular class feature you're looking to attain via item? Many feats are granted as class features and there are plenty of items that grant feats.

Ring of Evasion doesn't grant a class feature either.

Soulmelds grant some (though they aren't really items.)

Correct it doesn't actually give you the class feature, but as long as you ware it gives you the same effect that the evasion class feature does. Don't split hairs, technically no magic items actually give you class features, but you do act as though you had them.

Splitting hares would be exceedingly messy. ;)

Well, a (Eternal) Wand of Heroics temporarily grants bonus Fighter feats, which are pretty much the Fighter's only "class feature".

Those are Incarnum right? I'm not too familiar with that system since I don't have Magic of Incarnum. Can you provide me with a list? If not I'll see about getting access to it and pulling them myself?

Which book is Heroics from? Spell Compendium?

Actually I'm trying for a sort of a helper list to that. That list is Covers more than just class features and is mainly Classes, PrCs and ACFs whereas I'm going for Feats, Items, and Spells that specifically give class features. Though it does have some things on there that I will add in here once I have time to go through it.
