Chaser,

Thanks for the feedback! Without that, it can be difficult to gauge what is good, OP, or bad. There is a bit of each in the game.

Regarding the treefolk club item, you're right it may be possible that item is OP - if you have a chance to forge it and test it in a game, I'd love to hear how it does. There are some significant costs with getting there though - the all-in price is 175k gold along with several crafting ingredients, including ones used in the Royal Elemental Staff item line and the Rimed Club +4 which isn't available until Watcher's Keep level 3 is cleared. It's also only usable by rangers and druids who suffer from APR and lack of GM compared to fighters unless other sacrifices are made. Still, you might be right - it might be OP.

Please keep giving this type of feedback.
