I completely understand that these are system independent item cards. However, it is silly to pretend that we don't want them to closely resemble items from the games we play. For that reason I will use d20 specific items in my discussion with the full understanding that the names may need to be changed (Waraxe instead of Dwarven waraxe, etc.).
I would like to see:
A ring with a feather motif (ring of feather falling)
A magic vest (vests of resistance are very popular in my game for freeing up that cloak slot, especially for Sorcerers)
A belt with a closed fist or bull motif (belt of giant strength)
A simple rope belt (Monk’s belt)
Gloves with a cat motif (gloves of Dexterity)
A headband with a book, fox, or eye motif (headband of Intellect)
Sturdy looking gauntlets (gauntlets of Ogre Power)
Dragonhide armor of various types - hide, banded, half-plate, and especially breastplate and full plate (this better be in Dragon's Hoard!)
A brooch (brooch of shielding)
More robes of various types
Potions with motifs that resemble common potions: bear, bull, cat, eagle, fox and owl for buffs, snowflake (cold), flame (fire), and lightning bolt (electicity) for energy protection, armor for mage armor, etc.
I would also like to see items for Druids such as a scimitar with a leaf motif, wooden armor, and a wooden shield with no metal accoutrements. A periapt with a woodland look would be welcome as well.
I like the idea of common spell focus and material components like a mirror or diamond dust. A holy symbol and sprig of holly would also be appropriate.
I also think that they need to recognize that there are armors that are simply superior in d20 and therefore more popular, specifically the chain shirt, breastplate, and full plate.
I'd obviously like to see at least one example of each weapon in the PHB (especially the non-exotic ones like morningstars and picks). I assume that the mundane items will be covered well by Adventure Gear.
