Magic Items of NoteEdit
Equipment Every Binder Wants (in the rough order that you'd get it)
Chain Shirt, Morningstar, Longspear, Dagger, Standard Adventurer's Gear, some potions
Healing Belt (MIC), Vest of Resistance +X (CA), Chain Shirt +X
Morningstar +X, Mithril Buckler +X, Longspear +X, Rapier +X (if Paimon and Andras focused exclusively), Sudden Stunning enchantment for weapon (DMG 2)
- The Longspear is probably the best weapon you can use as a Binder... Reach and the AoOs makes it very worthwhile. It doesn't mesh well if you are trying to make a natural attack-based combination (Ronove, Ipos, Chupoclops), but otherwise is one of the better weapons (I prefer Morningstar for Greater Mighty Wollop abuse, myself, though).
- The Sudden Stunning enchantment is only 2k gp to your weapon, and has a Ref save or the opponent gets stunned d4+1 rounds, usable Cha mod per day, DC 10+1/2 level + Cha mod; this is crazy good on a Binder, even if it is a swift action to activate.
Implements of Binding +X (only for Expel Vestige use)
Cloak of Charisma +X, + strength items
Necklace of Health +X (for melee), Circlet of Persuasion (for social), Teeth of Dahlver-Nar
ToB "learn a maneuver" items (ToB)
Valorous weapons (for Chupoclops abuse)
Veil of Allure (Sandstorm), Soul Lens (ToM) (invaluable for boosting DCs on all Binders)
Vestige Philactery (invaluable before you get 3 vestiges at a time; ToM); remember that you can leave it unbound, then use it as a combination expel vestige / rapid pact making item later. I recommend retraining Expel Vestige when you can afford these.
Assasin's Dagger (exclusively for Marchosias usage); the item is so cheap that I think its worth the investment at high level
Tome of Leadership and Understanding +5 (not before you can afford +5)
