Is there a magic item of constant effect True Seeing?

[Neijin]

I know I have seen it somewhere. Not the DMG one that is ~30 mins a day, I'm looking for a constant effect item. I'm looking for a 3.5 edition item. Thanks.

From memory, there was the Helm of Vision in Defenders of the Faith for 3E.

-Hyp.

Hyp is correct. The item also gives you a minor insight bonus to AC. It's rather expensive, at over 91,000 gp.

You may also have an intelligent magic item with the extraordinary ability (Greater Power in 3.5) to grant you true seeing at will. You have to command it to activate, so it's not quite constant.

This adds 81,000gp to the price. (Found in the Arms and Equipment Guide, also a 3.0 book).

There also the Hathran Mask of True Seeing, from FR's Unapproachable East. It costs 75,000 gp, but UE is a "3.25" product (one of the accessories produced shortly before the release of D&D 3.5), so I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Regards.

Hmmm. Thank you for pointing out the 3.0; I should have specified 3.5 in my title.

I considered taking that for my Hathran Cleric, but decided it was too game breaking to have such a potent item useable all of the time by a PC.

It's a pretty straightforward effect, and it's the right slot, so you could always reality check that price against the DMG guidelines.

I'd require it to be an Epic item.

Constant True Seeing would be one of the most useful effects in the game. It's one of those uber-spells, like Mind Blank, that allows you to ignore an entire category of effects.

I think that's overreacting. It's nearly 100k in gold, which means a PC crafting one could take more than a year, and you don't have to make them common. Further, the wearer would still be vulnerable to mind-affecting abilities that might cause him to give bogus information, someone could use limited wish to steal or negate it, a greater dispel magic would suppress it, and so forth. Plus, such an item provides no defenses against nonmagical means.

Forbidding it is futile, as it would be utterly simple to own enough true seeing items to have it going nearly all the time, at that price.
