Its chock full of magic items....

And... I think it looks nice. I really like the weapon and implements there - nice and interesting stuff there!

Cheers, LT.

I guess they needed to give us more magical items, but I do wish there was some sort of theme beyond 'hay here's a bunch of magical properties'.

 

[Shroomy]

I think that the Ring of the Ghost Knight is one of the more mechanically interesting items, since its one of the few examples that actually creates a "creature" that can move and attack at your command, at the price of a minor action. Perhaps a preview of "pet" classes?

The orb of temporal dissonance is my favorite item overall.

Drat, looks like the "&authenticate=true" trick no longer works!

Can someone please point me to the account migration tool they had for folks whose usernames didn't correctly transfer to Gleemax? I'm one of those people.

Drat, looks like the "&authenticate=true" trick no longer works!

You can still access the file directly, until you worked out the Gleemax account.

Cheers, LT.

My minotaur fighter wants the flask of the dragon's breath! Unfortunately, it needs some clarification: what action is it to use the breath (I'd guess minor), and what defense does it attack (I'd guess Reflex).

 

[Leatherhead]

No new robes, and druids can use staves apparently.

Stuff that looks nice: The Neitherdark Shield, the Belt of Mountain Endurance, and the Staff of Expansion.

Although I wonder why the Staff of Expansion only gets a d4 instead of a d6 on a critical hit.

 

[Boarstorm]

Interesting stuff.

I, too, am sad about the authentication system update. It means I have to go to all the trouble of actually logging in.

Oh, and regarding migration? Didn't work for me. I had to create a new account. My glorious 8 year old account got nixed.

But 'lo! Do not pity me, for I shall soldier on.

You're probably right, hopefully, WoTC will update the item description when they release the compiled pdf.
