I'm thinking I will likely go for 1 x common and 1 x uncommon.
Headband of intellect - this was given to Lucius by the temple to help with his religious and arcane studies. Not the most naturally academic of pupils, the temple soon realised that Lucius would never excel in his studies on his own. It didn't fit the optics of the temple to have their showcase aasimar, blessed of Xoros, being a subpar student so they quietly loaned him this headband to help him. When he ran away, he took it with him.
Shiftweave - Soon after running away, Lucius realised that the vestments of an acolyte were extremely noticeable. He was lucky to find shelter with a poor family who hid him in return for some work on their farm. While he stayed there, they told stories of a grandfather who had found wealth in trade then lost it all, leaving them to a life of farming. Lucius stayed with the family for several days labouring on their farm just trying to earn enough in rations to continue his journey. While he was there, their child suffered an accident where a heavy piece of farm machinery fell on them, and would have died quickly without aid. Luckily, Lucius was nearby and his meagre healing abilities were enough to save the child from certain death. In thanks, the family gifted Lucius with their last piece of inheritance from their once wealthy grandfather - a suit of clothing that could shift into different forms and appearances. Lucius tried to refuse but they wouldn't let him and so he gratefully accepted before moving on in his journey.
