Here are 37 ideas, with abbreviated magic item entries, for lesser-minor and greater-minor wondrous items. In most cases, the power level is equivalent to a trait (or a feat at most). The items are all slotted, including items for a proposed leg slot consisting of breeches, greaves, hose, kilts, leggings, pantaloons, pants, trousers and other items that can be worn on the legs. For even more minor magic items, read the excellent d50 Minor Magic Items on Goblin Punch.
