I would like to propose some items that would hopefully make leveling battle-bards a bit less painful (dex- or str-based bards ... dex or str scores greater than or equal to charisma): medium and/or heavy armour and a large shield that all do not cause spell failure and perhaps have spell slots (lots of lvl 3s for GMWs and Keens rather than 5s and 6s) and perhaps fit nicely with the Thid helm (no redundant ability bonuses).
There are currently a small shield and bard light armour from Uroboros that are decent however the physical immunities on the light armour and the AC on the small shield do not lend themselves well to a tank-bard that is up at the front, cursing early and staying there to taunt and bash mobs (as opposed to running in, cursing and running out).
Items like these might encourage some people to reincarnate their caster bards into battle-bards.
Happy to discuss in more detail (PM or separate thread) if more discussion is desired. I have leveled from 0 - 52 and can speak in detail about the challenges involved.

A bane weapon for Fume critters ? Constructs and tears have one....
Greater and/or Legendary Ion Stones... +6 or +12 to a stat or immunities 10-25% Elemental Immunity ? I think there is already coding in place for use of Ion Stones that are in the game.
Helm, Ring or ? that gives Domination Immunity.
Upgrade the Thids Paladin Ammy ? .... The Thids Sorc and Wizzy control class items are near BUR quality...
Pandects-(books)- For Waterbreathing & Levitation....I would consider these to be very rare uber boss loots personally....
.02 worth of ideas submitted, Knight Errant.

Boots of The Unscathed
Whoever made these boots had a solid understanding of battle tactics, clearly realising the two distinct ways to avoid suffering from an enemy's blows, dodging them, or being so tough that you don't even notice. Obviously such a warrior must have great insight, and so it is also said that the wearer of these boots will never be afraid in battle
The wearer of these boots will receive +2 to all Dexterity checks
Armour Class Bonus: + 15 ac Bludgeoning, Slashing, Piercing 20/- Wisdom + 12 Immunity: Fear Tumble + 15 Listen + 5

Some Battle Cleric items for those who wish to remain good would be nice to add i think...
Gitterdon's Buffer
While Hans Gitterdon was not the most pious cleric in the realm, his smithing and alchemy skills were as legendary as his propensity for getting into difficult situations. He created this shield just weeks prior to his last adventure.
Base Item: Large Shield Special Properties Armor Bonus +14 (Shield) 25% Fire Immunity 25% Cold Immunity Magic damage resist 15/- Cleric Spell Slots 4x2, 3x4, 3x5, 3x6 Parry +10
Gitterdon's Supporter
Gitterdon never entered into combat without his supporter.
Base Item: Belt Special Abilities Slashing Resist 15/- Piercing Resist 10/- Bludgeoning Resist 20/- Positive Damage Resist 15/- Cleric Spell Slots 4x3, 4x4, 4x5, 4x6 Strength +12 Constitution +12 Immunity: Sneak Attack Universal Saves +6 Concentration +10 Discipline +10
Gitterdon's Brain Bucket
This helm is constructed from the finest Mythril and padded with an extremely soft yet dense material.
Base Item: Helmet Special properties AC deflection +16 Cleric Spell Slots 4x2, 4x3, 4x4, 4x5, 4x6, 4x7 Divine Damage Resist 15/- Wisdom +12 Freedom Immunities: Death Magic Knockdown Mind-Affecting Spells Spell immunity: Word of Faith Universal Saves +6 True Seeing
Gitterdon's Shine
Even a clumsy and rather homely cleric like Hans Gitterdon was all the rave in this fabulously adorned, self-fitting armor.
Base Item: Splint Armor Armor Bonus +18 (AC Armor Modifier) Damage Immunity: Slashing 35% Damage Immunity: Piercing 35% Damage Immunity: Bludgeoning 35% Charisma +12 Dexterity +12 Damage Resist: Acid/Fire/Cold/Elec/Sonic 25/- Immunity: Poison Immunity: Paralysis Spell Immunity: Harm Spell Immunity: Mass Harm Haste Heal +15 Discipline +15 Concentration +15 Bonus Feat: Meta-Magic (Empower Spell) Improved Saving Throws Universal +6 Bonus Epic Spell: Epic Warding
Gitterdon's Collar
The wise yet forgetful "holy man," Hans Gitterdon devised this magical tablet on a chain to both ward against damage and to help him remember important spells, dinner engagements and anniversaries.
Base Item: Amulet +16 ac (natural armor) damage immunity: Positive 10% Spell Slots: Cleric 4x2, 4x4, 4x6, 3x7, 2x8, 1x9 damage resistance positive 15/- damage resistance divine 15/- Discipline +10 Heal +10 Concentration +10

Something that could ease bard´s (or else´s) task to bank, apart from carrying multiple bags of holding (I always find it very annoying to unload all of them):
Shoe of Pack Ox (bound-on-first-time consumable, like e.g. beaker)
- use: unique self power, unlimited uses - this item will be bound to the wearer upon the first use, making it non-transferable - using this item will allow you to carry more weight of loot, as if you had 10 more strength

(insert name here)'s MuseHelmet +17 Deflection AC +12 CHA +12 DEX Feat: Lasting Inspiration +15 perform +15 listen +10 regen For Warchanters with fewer than 20 levels of Bard who can't otherwise take the feat. With Lingering Song, a level 60 Warchanter (18 Bard/2 Bg/20 DD) gets Bard Song/Curse that only lasts for 1 minute and 30 seconds according to !effects. The level of song Warchanters get seems gimped enough without such a short duration. Thanks for reading

Clarinet (or whatever band instrument you want) of Song
Consumable item, which upon use functions as a level 60 bard song for the party. Would help with the idea of the bard as an "essential" part of all groups if your party has enough of them, but would still be quite valuable and not overused if consumable.
