It could be a pinky ring, concentration regin.... That's kind of Thief-Ish. Also on my wish list- how about a confidence booster? Especially as it affects recovery after death. If we ever have a Guild type quest, such as Paladins or Clerics have these would be great items for hitting a certain level.
