Sadly, some of the so-called "unique" items are decidedly less than unique: There's no problem at all with there being 2 sets of Shadow Armor or Boots of Stealth, but when you've got 6 pairs of Boots of Speed, all with the same description, that talks about how the "Paws of the Cheetah" made their owner the fastet man on the planet, well.....things are questionable.

What would work is to have 1 unique pair of Boots of Speed, and then have the others state that they are copies of the original pair, made by some curious Mage who was intrigued by the Boots, and wanted to see if she could duplicate the enchantments. A similar trick could be used to justify the other Ring of Regeneration, etc.....there could even be a guy in Waukeen's Promenade, who makes his living by enchanting Rings of Protection+1.

It's either that or give up the other 5 pairs of Boots of Speed, etc., or at least if we want to be realistic about this.
