[Cerek the Barbaric]

One of my favorite sources for new items is Arundor's Abode. You have to pick and choose what you want and the descriptions are sorely lacking on some of the items (meaning you have to either download them to learn what they do or just skip them completely). There are also a good share of terribly overpowered items (some grant complete immunities0 but there are also several nice items that are well balanced for many different classes.

There was also a discussion and creation of several items by a member of Ironworks a little over a year ago. He was hoping to package all the items into a Merchant Mod and make it available for the game - giving the players an extra merchant in the game.

I've done a Search of Shadows of Amn and both Archives but can't find it. The thread was entitled "Jaleirho's Super Happy Magic Shoppe" or something similar, but several Searches with different key words turned up nothing. There were some very good items discussed in that thread that were later created by "Jaleirho" (the name of the member's Merchant - not the name of the member himself).

Hope that helps at least a little.
