Every now and again our characters or favorite NPCs end up in a situation they shouldn't and you've got to use every resource at your disposal to bail them out in order to make a hasty retreat... Er.. completely planned, tactical withdrawal. I'm here to ask what the people of the playground use to get themselves out of a hairy situation. Favorite items or spells you guys can always rely on :smallsmile:
My personal favorites are the Shadow Cloak from Drow of the Underdark and the Boots of Temporal Acceleration from the Magic Item Compendium.
The cloak is always fun on characters vulnerable to melee. "This black cloak writhes as if it were alive. A shadow cloak grants a +1 deflection bonus to AC. If you are attacked, you can use the cloak three times per day to produce one or the other of the following effects. You can gain concealment for 1 round, or you can teleport to a space you can see clearly up to 10 feet in any direction." For a mere 5,500 GP this lovely piece of fabric can be yours :smallbiggrin:
The boots are always fun because you get the equivalent of the spell Timestop for 2 rounds once per day! That's two rounds of you putting distance between yourself and whatever horror the DM hurled with vehemence at the party after they derailed his grand scheme! And all it takes is a swift action to activate! It's got a price of 43k GP which definitely limits it to use in higher level games, but it is quite a wonderful item in my opinion.
