Heh, and the others are reasonable? I like the creativity, and I understand it's fun to build new things so I wouldn't have said anything except for the quoted comment...
Gauntlets: These are almost the same as weapon mastery, just reverse Thac0 and damage. No problem here.
There is wyvern armour in the game, Ashen Scales +2 Splint mail. 25% MR, Regen, Neg Plane Protection, and +2 Con all from your armour? Neg reaction from wyverns is meaningless, they're semi-intelligent and will be wanting to eat you regardless.
Dagger: Imagine what this would do when a F/M is dual wielding it with Crom Faeyr. Ouch that's gotta hurt! Actually, dual wielding it with anything, since 5 1/2 of the attacks would come from the other weapon. Even a straight mage would become a vicious fighter with this and a good Str belt.
Maybe this all goes to show how tricky it can be to balance items. Plus, I don't think cheesemage is really serious about the +12 Hackmaster
As for mine, I sort like the idea of a more predictable and powerful version of Harbringer...
Blaze of Glory
+4 Two-Handed Sword
+4 Thac0, 1d10+4 damage
Each successful hit unleashes a 10d6 fireball centered on the target.
For balance the fireballs could be 4d6 or 6d6, maybe not every his, but 5% isn't frequent enough to really be useful. Lots of fun with Dragonscale and Ring of Fire Control! Be careful about where your teamates are though!!
