The art on the Ring of Life Stealing is *chef's kiss*

Wow, now that's a deadly looking shuriken

Lenses of the Sixth Sense
Missing a space between 'to' and 'AC'
I think you can take out 'to' entirely. Amulet of the Wild, Bead of the Buccaneer, and Bracelets of Far Reach all omit the second instance of 'to'
+2 to AC (Monk: Total +3 AC)

Sash of Sinew
Same deal, I'd take out the second instance of 'to'
+2 to STR (Fighters & Paladin: total +3 STR)

Ring of Sacred Touch - Didn't realize this was sort of an augmented rare as well. Spacing makes it tough to change, though.

I think Oil should include one use i.e. "(One use, 1 rd to apply)"

Bracelets of Foesight: could be misremembering but I thought you indicated you were going to remove "w/ Sneak Attack" so it could be on the party card

While I get why the Nova Sun Pellet says "Used with 'Sunshot' weapons" and the other two say '"w/Sunshot weapons", the fact that they don't line up does bother me a non-zero amount. Since I believe this is the first time the ammo type is printed on the ammo token itself, I would probably make all three say "Used with 'Sunshot' weapons".

I asked for that, but don't remember Jeff saying it would happen. It would be nice though.

I'm loving the class specialization on this set of Rares! Nice way to provide usability for any new players which gets the rare in their player pack, while still letting specific classes have an edge. Definitely gonna encourage some trading in Coaching!

Shout-outs to the art work on:
Ella's Earcuff (I could totally see our Gnomish tinkerer rocking that bling)
Fancy Hat (with its feather right through the token name)
Irridescent Spindle (I'll probably replace my 2007 version with this one)
Sacred Shuriken (Seriously.... this looks wicked. : )

The Pants of the Pub look a bit odd... but then, so do some people I've seen at the Pub, so I won't point fingers.
Bead of Wisdom is the same artwork as the UC Bead of teh Cleaver, but Red. Not a big deal tho.

I love the Bracelets of FoeSight, and am a bit sad the UR version of FoeSight didn't make the cut, but happy to see this one will be available for aspiring Rogues and other martial types. I'm in agreement with changing the "+1 with Sneak Attack" to a generic +1 to hit, so it doesn't get missed in combat.... especially for a new player who won't remember to call it out.

Nice set. Good coverage for classes. Sadly no Sapphires but I'm content to roll around in the ones I've plundered from previous years.

Is it my imagination, or are there a lot fewer people participating on these threads this year?

A lot less. I think we may have burned people out after the epic arguments last year

Really? I truly hadn't noticed. Fiddy said he wasn't going to participate so I thought there would be abuot half the total responses, but he has participated...

Seemed about similar in the beta stages but year, definitely a lot less in these later steps.

TPTB may want to consider sending out an event email to get people's attention on it?

It also seems that most of us commenting in the Beta stage are also people who had access to the earlier drafts in the higher level folders. While I’m sure the number of high level players has grown quite a bit with over a year of VTD, I wonder how to better engage more newer players.
