@chain, how would you feel about a custom item based off Collar of umbral metamorphosis, by changing the template?
Collar of the Mineral Warrior?
Or any other LA+1 template for that matter. But I'm mostly interested in the mineral warrior
EDIT:
also requesting Girdle of Hate, i can't for the life of me find where it's actually from, but it's definitely an item. I think it's from DrM136, but couldn't find it. Found references to it here
EDIT2: someone informed me it's in dragon compendium on page 136. (so i assume it's already approved)
