<br />Lorica Hamata and Lorica Squamatea appear to be redundant- they both are the same AC mod and class restriction... couldn't we come up with one more cool uncommon to take the place of one of these? One might say the same of the Halberd and Trident (even though they have diff damage wheels).<br /><br />Love the picture for the Darkwood Longbow.<br /><br />Most of the pics look good to me... does mistletoe actually have blue berries? I thought they were supposed to be white?<br /><br />
Legally... its questionable. Morally... its disgusting. Personally... I *like* it.

<br /><br />We have a certain quota we want to hit with regard to the number of armors and weapons.  The Halberd is two handed and the Trident is one.  Different enough?<br /><br />Mistletoe is white -- but this is super-cool Masterwork Mistletoe so it is a little bluish.

<br /><br />I didn't notice that the Trident was one handed. Fair enough. :-)<br />

On the Faerie-Iron Large Shield, might want to get rid of the '\' or the 'or' having both there looks a little strange. Also to match other shields and armor, it should have an 'Adds' and a 'to'.<br /><br />Examples:<br />Adds +2 to AC \ +3 to AC vs. Fey<br />Adds +2 to AC or +3 to AC vs. Fey

Very Nice!<br /><br />Shouldn't Cap of the Owl say "Usable by all"?  <br /><br />I'm still not crazy about the Monk getting some great weapons to use - that is counter to the "bare-handed" essence of the character.  <br /><br />Three Armors that give +5 AC seems redundant.  And, the Oakspirit Armor has the same AC as Elven Chainmail and can be used by 8 classes where the Elven Chainmail was usable by only 6.  It seems very overpowered to have an uncommon armor be superior to the Rare Elven Chainmail.  <br /><br />The Lyre of Rage is undoubtedly better than the Masterwork Bard's instrument - which is already very powerful.  The Lyre of Rage would be better as a +1 to Hit / +1 Damage, or just +2 to Hit like the Masterwork Bard's Instrument.  <br /><br />Many of the scrolls don't say they are good for only one room or combat.  Should they?  <br /><br />Sling Bullet of Shock should say "Shock" instead of "Fire".  <br /><br />Thanks!<br />Mike<br /><br /><br /><br />

i like them, a lot of great pics, just a few comments...<br /><br />sling bullet of shock: should be electricity damage, not fire<br /><br />oakspirit armor: is this supposed to make the elven chain obsolete?  the elven chain had the same AC bonus for fewer classes, and was rare.  maybe this was supposed to be +4 AC?  maybe with a small bonus (like +1 to fort save?)<br /><br />iron spear: seems REALLY good for any class that doesnt normally get a one-handed D8 damage weapon.  if rogues can use this one handed, does that mean rangers can use it in off-hand?<br />not that i really see this weapon being a problem on its own, just keep in mind that making an enhanced version of this weapon wont really be an option without completely trumping every other short-sword-like weapon (ie. usablility same a short sword).<br /><br />still not sure about the two +5AC armors...i understand wanting a certain amount of armor available, and i know it is disappointing if there is one armor flat out weaker and pulling it, but i still feel like there should be a functional difference.  i dont have a specific suggestions as i dont know anything about those types of armors, anyone else have ideas?

The Trident seems to powerful for a 1 handed weapon, and the Iron Spear does seem usable by too many classes.  I think the classes need to be reigned back on a number of these weapons and armors.

Scroll Bless and Scroll Hypnotic Pattern - don't have type qualifiers. (Arcane, Divine, All)<br /><br />Potion Polymorph (otter) - Why is this restricted to Druid and Wizard if it is a potion?<br /><br />Fireseed Hickorynut - should probably read 'Affects' instead of 'Effects'<br /><br />+1 Arrow - most of the ammunition does not put the '1 use only' in parenthesis.<br /><br />Halberd and Trident - should use an ampersand (&) instead of an 'or' to match other tokens<br /><br />Runestones - All of them should read '+1 to x'. 'Fort' should have a period after it.<br />

I noticed the Iron spear as well... should be two handed, and quite possibly, not a rouge weapon (seems a bit much)<br /><br />Several scrolls that do not state arcane or Divine  ( bless, and hypnotic Pattern)<br /><br />as for the Armor.... yah the Lorca Squamatea, and the Lorca Eamata are identical except in name.. perhaps a small shift in one of them?

I keep finding more things while I gander...<br /><br />Scroll Bless - needs to say 'for party' somewhere. Also 2007 token had an ampersand (&) between the two abilities. Perhaps not necessary but I thought I'd throw it out there.<br /><br />Scroll Detect Poison - the 'in 1 room' seems a bit redundant to me. How about just making it 'in room'?
