What parts did you work on?[on-topic edit] I agree that he comparison between the greater crystal and a +4 Con item is illuminating: the crystal doesn't provide a bonus to fort saves, doesn't work against non-weapon attacks, and doesn't help much against one big attack.  I'd add that the hit points given by a Con boost can be reset by curative magic, which can happen between each battle; the crystal, however only resets once per day.  On the other hand, as has been noted, the crystal stacks with a Con booster.  The total hit points provided by the gem is more than the Con item would give; 50 vs 20 (for a 10th level character), but given the other factors I can't see that this is unwarranted.I think it gives good value, but isn't overpowered.</blockquote>
