Are Shuriken 1 use only?  It seems like they should be, but they don't say so.  <br />

  I disagree.  Shurikens are fairly sturdy weapons.<br /><br />=====================================================<br /><br />

The handle on the obsidian dagger looks odd. Maybe try to photoshop a better hilt onto it? As it stands, it doesn't look like a weapon exactly.<br />

  I think that it actually looks very much like most of the obsidian blades that I've seen, either in person or on the internet.

I think that the shuriken token needs a different image, maybe something more pointy-looking, and thus more effective looking.  While the shuriken image on the token is very nice looking, the points won't stick in anything.  Maybe one of these designs would work better:<br /><br />

Some additional comments:<br /><br /><br /><br />Goodberry: Picture looks like an eyeball to me<br /><br />Leather Brigandine Armor: Requires a single hand (even though it's armor, not a weapon)<br /><br />Obsidian Dagger: Does not specify which classes can use<br /><br />- I do like the look of the new scrolls. I thought the older scrolls were beginning to get a bit repetitive (you can only change the color of the same picture so many times).<br /><br />Scroll Endure Elements: Is now an Arcane scroll rather than an All scroll. A bit annoyed since now Clerics, Druids, Paladins, and Rangers can no longer use it (and it would be thematic for Clerics and especially Druids to have access). Just like the change with Comprehend Languages (which used to be an All Scroll), I am disappointed that the pool of All scrolls is steadily decreasing....<br /><br />Silver Sickle: Does not specify which classes can use<br /><br />Spiked Buckler: Does not specify which classes can use<br />

<br /><br />I didn't mean the Shuriken would break, just that once you threw it, it was gone (like a Masterwork arrow/bolt/sling shot).

<br /><br />Only if you don't have time to recover it from the monster corpse?

They look great. I like the leafy 'edition' indicator on the sides of the tokens. <br /><br />The darkwood shortbow, obsidian dagger, silver sickle, and spiked buckler could all use indicators of what classes can use them. It is going to be hard to fit that text onto the token with the other text, however. It is worth making it fit, as that clarification is very useful for players. I wonder if there is any way to clearly convey that information without having to write it out fully? I haven't been able to think of a usable suggestion, but it might be worth pondering.

More good feedback thanks.<br /><br />And the shurikens are a new class of weapons...usable once per combat.

<br />Also Spiked Buckler<br /><br />change text to "Ranger: may use as weapon."<br />

<br /><br />I agree, weapon is much better than specifying short sword.  But it should specify "Ranger: may use as weapon in off-hand"<br /><br />Also, where is the love for the Rangers with the All scrolls?  Last year we got "Read Magic" and that is it.  Endure Elements seems like a great one to make "All".

<br /><br /><br />FYI, the Scroll of Endure Elements used to *be* an All scroll.

<br />The improvements look really good! I wonder if any newbies will combat slide their 10' poles (thinking they are staves).  =D<br />
Legally... its questionable. Morally... its disgusting. Personally... I *like* it.
