Called Nimbleness Adamantine Rorek (Dwarven) Plate +5 of Invulnerability
"While having left their old universe behind Rorek’s brother, Kargin an Artificer had discovered and learned the secrets of combining alloys with manacite fashioning more powerful armor with heavy enchantments that protect his Dwarven brother Rorek to this day. "
[From Page 90, Arms and Armor v3.5; Bastion Press]
Dwarven Plate: The pinnacle of dwarven armor¬smithing, this is the preferred armor of many dwarf paladins and knights. Without training in the use of such heavy armor, it is difficult to do anything other than walk while wearing dwarven plate.

Magic Armor Abilities - Called
Price: +2,000 gp
Property: Armor or shield
Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) conjuration
Activation: Standard (command)
At first glance, this armor or shield looks like any other item of its kind. Closer inspection reveals a small image of a beckoning hand inscribed on its surface.
Provided that you and your called armor or shield are on the same plane, you can call it to you by speaking the proper command word, regardless of the intervening distance. If you aren’t wearing armor at the time, a suit of called armor appears on your body, as though you had donned it in the normal fashion. If you are wearing other armor when you speak the command word, the called armor appears in your space or in an adjacent space you designate that is capable of holding it. A called shield appears on the proper arm if you are not already using another shield when you call it, or in your space or a designated adjacent space if you are.
If any other creature has worn your called armor or shield since you last wore it, you can no longer call it until you wear it again.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, teleport.
Cost to Create: 1,000 gp, 80 XP, 2 days.

Sadly like Rorek;'s Axe, Kargin had squirreled away yet another secret Wand Chamber* within Rorek’s armor, of course without his knowledge.
Armor Abilities - Wand Chamber*
A wand chamber is a thin, cylindrical slot on the handle of a weapon or the edge of a shield that can hold a single wand. When a wand is loaded in the chamber, it is considered ready and can be activated without having to drop the weapon or shield. Changing the wand in the chamber is a full-round action.
Wand in Chamber: Wand of Quickened Death Ward

Universal Energy Resistance, Greater
This ring functions as a ring of greater energy resistance for all types of energy—fire, cold, electricity, acid, and sonic. When the wearer would normally take such damage, subtract 30 points of damage per round from the amount before applying.

Quick Self Loading, Gravity - Crossbow, Dwarven Mauler
[DRAFT v.8]
This Large +5 heavy crossbow is covered with dwarven runes, and the intricate stock has been carved to resemble the head of a hammer. Because of the crossbows increased size, and the bolts increased weight and density the dwarven mauler deals 4d6 points of piercing damage on a successful hit. This increase in size does not affect the time it takes to load the crossbow. Furthermore, against all giants and goblinoids, the dwarven mauler’s critical multiplier is increased to x4.
Along the stock of this crossbow, there are two thin hollow wand chambers allowing the wielder to trigger use of one or both of the wands in the chambers instead of firing a missile (based upon the Death-Wand Crossbow).
A self-loading crossbow accesses an extradimensional space that can hold up to 100 bolts, allowing the wielder to automatically reload the crossbow as a free action (if the wielder has the rapid reload feat, if not a move-action is required for reload.) Different types of bolts can be held in the extradimensional space, and the wielder may select freely from these when reloading the crossbow.
Caster Level: 16th; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Gravity Bow, Animate Objects, Leomund’s Secret Chest, Shrink Item; creator must be a dwarf; Market Price: 124,000 gp; Cost to Create: 62,000 + 2,480 XP.

Quick-Loading [+2 special ability] - [Arms and Equipment Guide Page 97]
Only crossbows can have this ability. A quick-loading crossbow accesses an extradimensional space that can hold up to 100 bolts, allowing the wielder to reload the crossbow more rapidly than normal. Reloading a hand or light crossbow is a free action (allowing a character with multiple attacks to make a full attack), and reloading a heavy crossbow is a move-equivalent action. Adding a bolt to or removing one from the extradimensional space by hand requires a move-equivalent action. The extradimensional space can hold different types of bolts, and the wielder may select freely from these when reloading the crossbow.
Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Leomund’s secret chest, shrink item; Market Price: +2 bonus.Self-Loading Crossbow [+2 special ability]– [Arms and Equipment Guide Page 117]
This +1 heavy crossbow is much easier to load than mundane crossbows. After firing, the crossbow’s string is magically
reset to the cocked position, requiring the wielder to simply place a bolt in the weapon to load it. Loading a self-loading crossbow requires only a move equivalent action.
If the wielder has the Rapid Reload feat described in Sword and Fist, loading a self-loading crossbow is a free action, and the weapon does not restrict the wielder’s ability to make multiple attacks in a round.

Armbands of Resilience
[Reference: Mongoose, Ultimate Magic Items, Page 99]These items always come in pairs; both must be worn to gain any benefit from their magic. Crafted from adamantine, armbands of resilience are generally unadorned, save for a circular inscription of magical runes along both rims. When worn, they render the wearer immune to constitution damage of any sort, stunning affects, daze affects, and death by massive damage. The wearer suffers normal damage from coup de grace attempts, but cannot be slain outright by them as the armbands of resilience automatically allow him to succeed at the required Fortitude save for survival.
If the wearer is taken to -1 or fewer hit points but not slain outright, he automatically stabilises and regenerates 1 hit point per round until he returns to 1 hit point. The armbands do not heal further than this, but there is no limit to the number of times per day they can bring back a wearer from negative hit points. If the wearer is ever brought to -10 hit points, the magic of the armbands cannot save him.Faint Abjuration; CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Items, bear’s endurance, cure minor wounds or vampiric touch, 5+ ranks in Heal; Price 33,500gp.

This adamantine rod allows the wielder to store a complete set of battle regalia and recall it with a moment’s notice. When fully armed and armored, the bearer of this rod can instantly remove her armor and weapons, storing them magically within the rod. Anytime thereafter, the bearer can use the power of the rod to put on her armor and wield her weapons instantaneously. If the bearer is wearing armor or weapons when she calls armor back from the rod, then that armor or weapons are swapped with those within the rod. Using the rod to store or retrieve armor and weapons is a standard action.

Crossbow, Deathwand
The two thin hollows in this +2 light crossbow’s stock have a magical affinity with wands. The wielder of the deathwand crossbow is considered to be holding either of the wands when she wields the crossbow, and she can use either wand normally without letting go of the crossbow. Removing or stowing a wand in the crossbow takes a move-equivalent action. If the crossbow is destroyed, any wands it holds are also destroyed.

Gate Key: When properly operated, the gate key can be used to attune any bounded space, such as a doorway or a cave opening, to another bounded space on another plane of existence previously visited by the wielder. When two bounded spaces are attuned, an interdimensional portal springs up at each location, and the two portals are connected. When the wielder creates a pair of portals, he or she also establishes the necessary key that travelers must have to access the portal. Possible keys include nothing, a pearl, a particular hair color, or even the gate key itself. Up to sixty different pairs of portals can be attuned in this manner. Once all sixty pairs of portals are created, the key cannot create additional gates, though it may still be the necessary key to access some or all of the portals. To any creature without the proper key, the interdimensional portals are not visible (though true seeing or similar magic reveals their presence).
