Very nice.

My suggestion:

Ohgma's Encyclopedia of Thay
Frustrated by the terrible disorganization of libraries throughout Thay which made it next to impossible to research simple facts and tidbits of knowledge, an acolyte of Ohgma compiled this handy reference tome.

+5 Lore
3x/day Allows User to attempt a Research check as though in a library to obtain Research Notes for quests given by NPC's, bypassing the need to rest between each of these three research attempts.
Weight of item: 10 lbs. (or maybe even 15 lbs.) Since a large tome shouldn't be light.

My vote for best suggestion. Useful without being overpowering, and not another combat related item.

I have to agree, this is a wonderful suggestion! I have a few more ideas, will see if they stick to the wall. Combat and non-combat related. We need to show some love to non-combat oriented folks, nay?

I agree on all accounts. :)


Edit: I also want to stress that items suggestions which have some type of description on them stand a much better chance of happening since that reduces the need for me to be creative. The only custom items that do not have descriptions in Thay are the standard +1 and +2 items, and I intend to keep it that way. there's a story behind everything....what's your item's story? ;)
