The designers balanced the power of magical items in a rather interesting way. In the original Icewind Dale some objects were far more powerful than other items you might find in the same part of the game. Once you install the expansion pack, it will transfer those objects to other locations, unless you decide to continue the game with an already generated and upgraded coterie. This means that some items will no longer be where they had been only if you decide to play the game from the start. The new items are really fantastic: Vexed Armor contains a live demon which will demand sacrifices and in return give you a bonus in constitution and 100% resistance to cold; if a character with this armor decides to flee battle, he's not likely to survive; Pale Justice is a long sword inducing +7 damage to the evil characters, Pig's eye is a short sword which induces additional damage to Orcs, with a possibility to blind them, Storm Bow will cast lightning once a day...
