BERUTO OF THE CARP DRAGON
This belt grants its wearer a swim speed and the ability to
breathe water.
Description: Decorated with seashells, this hemp belt
has a buckle fashioned from a yu lung dragon scale.
Activation: A beruto of the carp dragon functions continuously
while worn, occupying the same body slot as a belt.
When first donned, it telepathically instructs the wearer
(simultaneously in the Spirit Tongue and Draconic) on the
effects of the item and how to activate it.
Effect: The wearer gains the ability to breathe water
normally but loses the ability to breathe air. He also gains a
swim speed equal to his base land speed, along with the other
benefits of having a swim speed (see Movement Modes, MM
311). After removing the beruto of the carp dragon, the wearer
resumes breathing air.

gp, 88 XP, 3 days.

BRASSY BRACERS
These bracers sear enemies with boiling heat while diverting
their attacks.
Description: This pair of brass dragon scales, each about
the size and shape of a man’s fist, are edged in mithral and
set with moonstones in a spiral pattern. Affixed to the back
of each is a buckle and leather strap so they can be worn on
the forearms.
Activation: Once per day, the wearer can create a shield
of superheated air with a purely mental swift action. Anyone
donning the brassy bracers receives mental instructions in
Draconic on the effects of the item and how to activate it.
Effect: Activating the brassy bracers surrounds the wearer
in a swirling shield of superheated air for up to 10 rounds.
The shimmering heat waves provide concealment for him,
imposing a 20% miss chance on attacks made against him.
The wearer can deactivate the effect as a standard action.
In addition, the heat deals 2d6 points of fire damage to
any creatures striking the wearer with a natural attack or
nonreach melee weapon. The wearer is immune to the heat
damage of his own bracers.
Aura/Caster Level: Moderate abjuration and illusion;
CL 10th.
Construction: Craft Wondrous Item, blur, fi r es h i e l d , 2,550
gp, 204 XP, 6 days.

BRONZED CUFF
Anyone who wears this scale can summon a powerful whip
of pure energy.
Description: Shaped to fit easily on a creature’s wrist, this
bronze dragon scale is set with a pair of tiger’s eye topazes
and rimmed with bronze studs.
Activation: Twice per day, the wearer can summon the
whip with a swift action. It can be dismissed with a free action.
Anyone donning a bronzed cuff receives mental instructions
in Draconic on the effects of the item and how to activate it.
A bronzed cuff can be worn with magic bracers on the same
arm without affecting the ability of either magic item, but it
does not work when a magic ring is worn on the hand of the
same arm.
Effect: When a bronzed cuff is activated, a +1 brilliant energy
shock whip appears in the hand of the arm wearing the cuff.
(If that hand already holds an object, the cuff fails to activate.)
The whip remains for 5 rounds or until dismissed; otherwise,
it cannot leave the hand of the wielder for any reason.
Aura/Caster Level: Strong conjuration; CL 16th.
Construction: Craft Wondrous Item, call lightning or
lightning bolt, continual flame, gaseous form, 9,000 gp, 720 XP,
