In the short story At Moonset Blackcat comes from Dragon #100 Gord wagers his chrysoberyl Cat's Eye Ring against Rexfelis Amulet.
What are the powers of the Ring and more importantly the Amulet?
What other items does the Catlord have in the Gord books?

The powers of the ring were mentioned at the end of Artifact of Evil.
I think it gave some serious Dex bonuses to the wearer (perhaps also bonuses to what in 3E would be Listen, Spot and perhaps Tumble). It was also a Ring of Nine Lives, as in, it granted the wearer nine resurrections.
It was a seriously groovy piece of magical kit.
Don't know what the Amulet's powers are or if it was covered in the Epic Level Handbook.

For those lacking the novels, Gord's ring is detailed @ http://home.comcast.net/~chris.s/gordmisc.html#magic
As for the Catlord's amulet, do we even know that it's magical??

In the Dragon 100 short story the Catlord offers Gord info about his rings powers and assures him that the amulet is it's superior.
Also in Night Arrant Gord steals an amber with a spider in it from Nerof Gasgal, which later lands in the catlords hands. Any ideas what this items powers might be?

I'd forgotten that, thanks Thanael :D

I just re-read that last week (found a copy of Night Arrant for $2, decided I could afford that even as an extra). I don't know of any powers attributed to that item, but I did create a Spider Amulet drowic magic item inspired by it's description. I think I even have that here (vs. in KS); I'll see if I can find it tonight....

The powers of the bespidered amber are mentioned as Gord takes his leave of Kharistylla the undine, who says, "With it, I can move upon the spheres of earth, metal, or wood. Better still, I can walk unhindered on the material plane for as long as I choose--even to dwell in a city among men such as you ... " Come Endless Darkness 35 (1987).
Note that this suggests that Gord momentarily had entered an extra-planar space or had been transfered to the Inner Plane of Water. Therefore, the powers seem to be of inter-dimensional transportation as well as adaptation to those planes.
Note too that the undine's inclusion of the spheres of metal and wood are suggestive regarding the Oerth's cosmology vis-a-vis the Easter-Western philosophical debates a la the Five Dragon Bowl short story.
