I haven't really found any good collection of homebrew content (please, if someone knows of one, point me to it XD), so I thought I might as well post some of my own. If anyone else has some, please feel free to share :). And PEACH, please XD
Wondrous Items
Steam Gates
Functions exactly like Ring Gates, except for a few differences. Steam Gates allow steam to pass through, and the diameter can range from 1-12 inches. In addition, Steam Gates can only be used for a duration of 3 minutes per day. This duration can be split up however the user wants. Activated/De-activated via a Command Word.
Medium Conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item, teleport; Price 10,000 gp; Weight 1/2 lb. each.
Discussion: The extremely lowered cost comes from the fact that were using a teleport spell instead of a gate spell (hence the low duration / day). I guesstimated the price based on normal Ring Gates; caster level of 9 x spell level of 5 vs. caster level of 17 x spell level of 9 (not entirely sure how Ring Gates cost so little when, according to my calculations, they should cost somewhat near 250K, but whatever :/ Maybe its the material amount limit / day). This brings us to 12K, and I then multiplied that by 80-90% due to the limitation of only steam. These are meant to power steam devices in the field, by having one end attached to a boiler in a remote location, and the other attached to whatever device one would want to use.
Accumulator
This interesting little gizmo is enchanted to produce a small amount of steam over time. It is very handy in small gadgets which only require a miniscule amount of steam to function, but don’t have the room for a steam gate, or simply don’t require enough steam to warrant a steam gate. The Accumulator produces about a lb of steam pressure in 1 minute, and functions constantly. The Accumulator itself is composed of a couple cogs and various other mechanical devices, and can easily fit in someone’s palm.
Minor Conjuration; CL 1st; Craft Wondrous Item, create water; Price 1,000 gp; Weight 1/2 lb. each.
Discussion: This item uses the srd creation rules to create the price (0-level spell (1/2) * caster level * 2000 = ½ * 1 * 2000 = 1000). Not entirely sure about the rate though, open to suggestions there.
