10gp secret santa from D&D & PF

[Ryulin18]

Hey guys, share the christmas spirit and your knowledge of cheap items!

Say what you would buy someone for 10gp from any of the D&D & PF books.

I buy the person below me;

Folding chair
Folding table
retractable 10ft pole


Merry Christmas, Giants!

[Seharvepernfan]

Every club and quarterstaff in the multiverse, and 100 days worth of firewood.

[Fates]

Well, I think it's obvious.

I'd buy twenty 10-foot ladders. It'd instantly put the bloke on his way to a thriving profit in the 10-foot pole business.

I assume most of you get the reference, but here's the link anyway. (http://goblinscomic.com/09092006/)

[PF]

Loaded dice.

200lb of marbles.

A compass.

[Fates]

And another, less-overdone option:

You want a secret santa present? Here's your secret santa present.

70 untrained hirelings for a day, 70 torches, 70 clubs, one map to a nearby village (Inkpen (1sp) + Parchment (2sp) + Vial of Ink (1gp)), 1 flint and tinder.

[PF] Since all instruments are only 5 gp I'll get a Street Organ(5gp), a Monkey(3gp), and a hat with the remaining money in various denominations. The picture of the monkey shows it wearing a vest and fez so i assume it comes with those accouterments. You have all you need to be an organ grinder.

Merry Christmas, from Shax:

Eggshell Grenade, Dust
Price: 10 GP
Weight: --
(Oriental Adventures p. 78)
Thrown as a grenade-like weapon, so make a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 5'. A dust grenade that hits its target directly blinds the target for 1d4 rounds *NO SAVE*. Anyone else within the 5' radius splash must make a Fort save DC 10 or be blinded for 1 round. This is an amazingly effective weapon that works on a wide variety of opponents, but don't overuse this one or your DM will come down on you with a banhammer like a ton of bricks.
Craft (Alchemy) DC: 20

Expandable Pole
Price: 5 GP (Get two for 22'!)
Weight: 1#
(Song & Silence p. 53)
Every adventurer needs the obligatory 10' pole, but this one "goes to 11". It can be adjusted to 5', 7', 9', or 11' lengths, or collapsed down to 1'. Another version, called a Mobile Brace, can be found in Races of Faerun, which has more detailed rules on how much weight it can support and for using it to secure a rope for climbing, but it weights 3 lbs. Dungeonscape has a similar "Collapsable Pole" that goes out to 12', but it weighs 8 lbs. I chose this version to conserve weight.

Fast Torch
Price: 5 GP
Weight: 0.5#
(Complete Mage p. 134)
When you absolutely, positively must light something on fire with only a swift action.
Craft (Alchemy) DC: 20

Hearthfire
Price: 10 GP
Weight: 2#
(Races of Stone p. 160)
This is Jello... that glows like a torch. I'm sorry, but that's just too cool not to include. While the dowdy ol' torch may still be the most economical light source at only 1 CP apiece, they're very bulky (each torch weighs a pound). Two pounds of Hearthfire includes 12 cubes, and each cube lasts 24 hours. While an equivalent number of torches would only cost 2.88 GP, they would weigh 288 pounds. Hearthfire doesn't produce any heat and thus can't be used to light anything on fire or as an improvised weapon, but... Glowing Jello!
Craft (Alchemy) DC: 20

Sundark Goggles
Price: 10 GP
Weight: --
(Races of the Dragon p. 123)
Never take the Daylight Adaptation feat ever again. These handy little shades negate the dazed penalty for creatures with Light Sensitivity, and also provide a +2 circumstance bonus on saves against gaze attacks. Creatures without low-light or darkvision take a -2 penalty on spot and search checks.

Blessed Bandage
Price: 10 GP
Weight: --
(Magic Item Compendium p. 152)
Immediately stabilize a dying creature. While there are dozens of ways to stabilize or heal someone below 0 HPs, the main advantage of this item is it can be used untrained without a Heal check, so it can be applied by an unseen servant, wood wose, etc.
