Items to adventure in style & comfort

[phlidwsn]

I'm looking for more items in Pathfinder similar to the Expedition Pavilion (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/e-g/expedition-pavilion/) and the Campfire Bead (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/a-b/bead-campfire/). Items that an adventurer could obtain to live their life on the road while missing none of the comforts of being filthy rich by most folk's standards.

Preferably items that are in budget for a 8th-10 level character(Instant Fortress is a little too pricey, for instance), and for a character this is not a spellcaster.

You could probably gen up a custom magic item of mage's magnificent mansion to be affordable-ish. MMM is a 7th level spell with 2hr/CL duration, so if we have the item cast the spell at its minimum CL (13)...

According to the magic item gold piece values table (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/Magic-items/#TOC-Magic-Item-Gold-Piece-Values), a use-activated item of MMM would cost SL * CL * 2000gp, or 7 * 13 * 2000gp i.e. 182,000gp. That's unpalatably pricey, which is completely fine because we can get it discounted a whole bunch. If we limit it to c charges per day, we can divide the cost by (5/c); let's assume that you're only going to need it once a day, so we can divide the whole cost by 5 and bring it down to 36,400gp.

That's about half a 10th level character's WBL, which is probably still too expensive -- and so, enter the cursed items cost-discount-o-rama (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/cursed-items/). If we apply one of the six "make a save or take one point of ability score damage" drawbacks (which will heal when you rest in the MMM!) or a situational intermittent function keyed to something like sunset, we can reduce the price by a further 30% down to 25,480gp. That's better, especially if everyone in your party is willing to chip in for it!

Obviously, for any of this to work, you'd need your GM to okay player use of both the custom magic item creation rules and the cursed item creation rules, and... good luck with that.

In addition to the two you have listed, I try to bring along the following:

Field Scrivener' Desk (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/e-g/field-scrivener-s-desk/), which is very interesting if it stacks with the Expedition Pavilion
Wand of Endure Elements, for sudden temperature changes
Apprentice's Cheating Gloves (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/e-g/gloves-apprentice-s-cheating/), for that always clean-shaven and freshly washed look
The Home Away (http://archivesofnethys.com/MagicWondrousDisplay.aspx?FinalName=Home%20Away) from the Villain's Codex fills much the same role.


Beyond those, I have not found much in Pathfinder.

Platter of Exquisite Feasting.
Traveler's Canopy.
And a Wand of Unseen Servant, of course.

Probably you specifically want printed Pathfinder items, but printed items don't generally go that far, since spells don't either (unless they do in Pathfinder?). From 3.5.

The key to housing items is that they're not something that only benefits a single character: they benefit the whole party, so the cost should be shared by the whole party (if you found one, no one would be paying for it: you'd just share it, same thing). Secure Shelter 1/day command word at cl 12 (so it lasts 24 hours), or Extended at 9th, is 4,320 to 4,050 per person if you have a 4 person party, plenty affordable at less than 10% of WBL for 10th. It's as strong as a "normal stone building" while having windows, and includes Alarms, Arcane Locks, and an Unseen Servant that would cost even more money if you sourced them from other items. And there's a printed item in one of the Forgotten Realms books that's pretty much that.

Magnificent Mansion is the spell listed for the Instant Fortress, and the pricing is similar: it's only around half again the formula price for a 1/day item, which is a bargain considering you can actually activate and deactivate it at will- you could also consider it a 60% price break off the at-will for not being extra-dimensional and full of stuff. Either way, split the fortress's price 4 ways and it's a much more manageable 11,250 per person.

Neither of those deal with food. The only spell which creates lavish food that I'm aware of is Heroes' Feast, a 6th level spell. The Horn of Plenty from MiC gives you that 1/day for 12,000. Split among the party that's an absolute steal at 3,000 each for daily disease removal and half a day of both poison and fear immunity.

That doesn't include lavish clothing. There's an Eberron spell which can conjure clothing or summon it if you have the right feat. Or there's just the Rod of Splendor, which triples as a +4 Cha item, ludicrously expensive clothing summoner, and 1/week giant tent and food conjurer. I don't know how much Pathfinder charges for stat boosters, but they dropped the price of this rod by half to 12,500gp. That's one that you won't split with the party, but you may be getting an underpriced combat bonus out of the deal anyway. Edit: ah, they cut ability booster prices in half. Well you're still getting all the extra stuff including fake clothes with a visible value of 7-10,000 for only 4,500.

The sashimono of comfort (http://archivesofnethys.com/MagicWondrousDisplay.aspx?FinalName=Sashimono%20of %20Comfort) is pretty nice for constant endure elements, that can be extended over a wagon or campsite.

Also, decanter of endless water/sake, and a ring of sustenence so food and water are not an issue. You still might want the infinite booze jug though.

I've just added the gloves for maintaining that 'elven fresh' look. The Desk, the Home Away, and the Pavilion all seem to fill the same slot, but now I want to do a snake oil salesman for the Home Away at some point.


Platter of Exquisite Feasting.
Traveler's Canopy.
And a Wand of Unseen Servant, of course.

I'm not finding the Canopy anywhere on google.

And in addition, I've of course added the standard mundane luxuries like the mithril waffle iron. Along a similar note there's the folding boat and the flying carpet, is there anything on the low end more workable than a wand of Mount for the task of not needing an actual flesh-and-blood horse?

[Coventry]

The Desk, the Home Away, and the Pavilion all seem to fill the same slot ...

Ah, but there is a trick to the Desk and the Pavilion. Set the desk outside in 130 degree heat. It adjusts the temperature only down by 30 degrees - to 100 degrees. But inside the pavilion, you get *another* adjustment, from 100 down to a nice, comfortable 70.

It is even better from the cold side, where the numbers are -70 (ambient) to 0 (desk) to 70 (Pavilion).

I have used that exactly ... zero times. Okay, so it's not that much of a trick.

I'm not finding the Canopy anywhere on google.

It's a magic umbrella (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/c-d/canopy-travel/) that floats above you.

One more for the list: Phantom Entourage (http://www.archivesofnethys.com/MagicWondrousDisplay.aspx?FinalName=Phantom%20Ento urage)

Magnificent Mansion says: "The place is furnished and contains sufficient foodstuffs to serve a nine-course banquet to a dozen people per caster level." So I think you're good for food for most parties.

Another find: Talisman of the Summoned Steed (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/r-z/talisman-of-the-summoned-steed/). More stylish than a wand of Mount that you may need to use up to four charges for a full day's travel, but depending on how fast you level past needing horses as opposed to teleport/overland flight it might end up being cheaper with the wand.

[Crow_Nightfeath]

Heavy wagon with room(s) built on it, ant haul and endure elements. A heavy wagon is a 10ftx20ft. You need ant haul so the wagon doesn't collapse under the possible weight. And like an elephant or other huge creature to pull it.

I actually use this idea with my travelling artificer who brings his workshop with him.

Unless you find new low level adventurers to which you can sell the talisman.(somehow adventurers almost always pay full price)
