The Blood Thorn is very nice: life stealing attack with room left for a shield.

Ring of Regeneration
Shield and Helm (cant remember names) that auto cast lightning in addition to commander's regular attacks.

Re: What are your favorite combat items to forge?
I'm fond of the Boots of Stone, for a low-encumberance way to give a battlemage half-decent prot and save the armor slot for perhaps a light armor (dragon scale, air/earth-based armors, robe of shadows, etc). I also like to give astral combat mages a clam to cut down on gem micromanagement if I can afford to (may not have the water income or mages). For others, I might use the messenger shoes for the reinvig.
Elemental armor is excellent if you have the earth/fire mages for it and can spare the encumberance.

Re: What are your favorite combat items to forge?
Question about Crystal Shield . I put one on my Fire 2/Blood 3 prophet and it is supposed to add one to each path but as I read the description closer it said for battle only. Doh! Anyways, how does one plan out tactical spell usage for someone with that thing on? It will not list the extra spells in the cue for battle so I can't plan ahead for the extra paths. Am I just at the mercy of the computer on that one? Thanks in advance for any answers.

The crystal shield adds 1 to the levels that your mage already has. This will make him a fire 3, blood 4, holy +1 mage in battle. You are able to script any spell that your mage has a chance to cast in battle. The ones that you can't cast without some kind of boost are grayed out, but can still be selected. |

Re: What are your favorite combat items to forge?
I make as many dragon helms as I can. Very handy for commanders that are going to just stand in the back. And skulls to summon undead.
The misc items that fight for themselves I like to add to my important mages. saves paying support for bodyguards.
All fo the above are also very handy for assassins

Etheral Crossbow. In a multi it's the ultimate pretender killer in the hands of a skilled marksman.
