The thing is, magic items are as rare as and of the quality that the DM wants them to be. Either they're there or they're not. So going by their rarity or quality isn't meaningful.

The Evergreen Bow This bow was crafted in the Feywild. It can use any arrow but plain wood arrows will grow leaves and gain special powers. As a base power wooden arrows gain the power of the Shillelagh spell, doing 1d8 damage and counting as magic weapons. In addition damage to undead and...

Not even close. Okay, I've skipped 23 pages but you need to read up on the Mongols and the wars in China.

This is the perfect example of a non-combat use for the Fighter's Action Surge. "I failed to catch the ledge / falling PC? I'll Action Surge and try again."

Yes: to give full damage a weapon must have certain qualities specific to the critter, for example a flaming weapon. For a more extreme example, perhaps the weapon must have been bathed in The Pool of Virtue. Or personally blessed by Merikka. You could combine those: perhaps it has to be a...

Well done! I noticed a couple of spelling and grammar errors. In Lolth's entry you call her Miska at least once. I do have one suggestion with regards to the Conditions: when Empowered, let all damage dice be rolled with Advantage (rather than maxxed) and when Weakened let all damage dice be...

One thing that screams at me is Bronze Age. You could have a lot of fun RPing gawking at all the stuff made of iron and having fancy and special bronze armour and weaponry.

Seems like a taster set but at quite a high price. I'd pay good money for a comprehensive Greyhawk setting & lorebook. One that includes absolutely everything from the past 50 years. All the stuff from Dragon, Dungeon, the modules, everything.

Does anyone else remember the Househunters from Dungeon magazine? House-sized mimics.

How about offering a non-combat feat - or one not related to their class - at levels 2 and 6 and see how you get on?

So, is the adventure a pile of rubbish or not?

Dig out your old copies of Dungeon magazine. 'Racing the Snake' comes immediately to mind, as well as an adventure where the objective is to rescue a woman from the cult of Tharizdun. However, you could reverse the problem: simply advance the campaign date by a year and up the PCs' levels to...

Is not the Warlock your friend here?

Nehael? In the Greyhawk setting I was working on, the empire to the west of the Sea of Dust was going to be primarily populated by dragonborn.

Wasn't there an article in Dragon along these lines? Sometimes you want one; sometimes the other.
