Thank you, but that's outside the remit of the original thread as it only lists magic items which provide bonuses other than enhancement (I presume there are so many it would have cluttered the thread up).

Feats from Savage Species
Pain Mastery: For every 50 damage you take, you gain +2 untyped bonus to STR until end of encounter. You become exhausted after. Presumably it stacks.
Involuntary Rage: If you pass a Fort save for massive damage from an attack, you gain +4 untyped bonus to STR and CON and a -2 untyped penalty to AC until end of combat. You become fatigued after.

I request you also post this in the MinMax Handbook Forum. The info is useful! Talk with the moderators there about making a new post that includes this new info and the old info.

Thankee!

I finally got round to doing this, it's awaiting approval. I'll post a link here to the combined version when it's up.
