Grey's Items (Spoilers)

[jastey]

I am on designing the items for Grey along the game. This is my current list. The items are more or less done (more less, I fear, considering my lacking talent for creating consistent items). Still the list should give the abilities and effects and if someone wants to comment on the usefulness of the planned items, I'd be grateful.

Woof! That looks great! One suggestion. Since you lose all the dog toys in BG2 maybe include a new one. How about a blink-dog dog toy. Allows mirror image or blur 1 or 3 times per day.

[jastey]

Good point! I noticed that at some point, too, but forgot about it again.

I'll think about an item that gives mirror image. I'm not sure it's best suited for a chew toy? If Gey plays with it before dinner time you'd have to feed 5-9 dogs instead!
