M&T description of using a scroll (p102) is different than PH (p52). Specifically in level limits not noted in the M&T. It seems to me like some sort of harmonizing and detailing in the M&T would good. At least direct them to the right section in the PH.
Wow, Another Natural One! You guys are a sink hole for luck. Stay away from my dice.

M&T page 102, adding giant type to the listing adds flavor so the potion is “fire giant str”, etc. You might want to note if all benefits of increase strength noted in the CKG do or do not apply.

M&T page 117 Rods, clearly noted to be useable by all classes – aka magic item that is class independent. Scrolls are noted to be class dependant. Wands (p120) and Staffs (p119), imply class restriction to spells of the right class, but are not specific. Further the wand and staff do not note level restrictions. Does one assume level independent? Finally, descriptions do not always make it a clear choice as to what class can use what staff. Ex.: Staff of Healing, is that Cleric, Druid AND Illusionist? Should there be an illusionist staff or two described? Finally, Wands indicate it’s a single spell then the only example breaks that rule and describes it more like a staff. Great idea to do this, but I would note up front in the wand description “…that contains a single spell… or in some cases a theme of class specific spells with noted charges needed per spell similar to a staff.”
M&T: Finally a short introductory paragraph or two prior to or on p 102 about “Ways to make it work” for each class of item might be nice. Learning your magic sword is +2 classically is up to the CK and player (and possibly some spells like identify), but suggestions on how a mage or cleric learns that the magical staff in hand is a cleric staff of healing vs a mage staff of fire might be nice and helpful to newer players. Note classic ways to determine these things? Anything out there in CnC rules other than the use of a Wizard’s Identify or Bard’s Legend Lore? How can we get the Cleric, Druid and Illusionist into the act of determining their own specific magic items or helping out others?
