It would be nice if this stuff also extended to barbarians and sorcerers, mostly because barbs don't get natural stealth. A lot of the gear for rangers/druids only is stargazer oriented, yet the favored class of stargazers is barbarian! Just seems odd!

Anyway just putting it out there.

There is an unusually high amount of sorc stealth gear that I've seen, banks UMDed a couple of great examples. Rare, but it's there. Also, barbs some good bonuses on Efu and access to lots of sweet class equipment and "wilds" consumables here. They're a very strong class, so allowing them to reach effective stealth too is giving them everything. Although, something like  barb/Halfling only gear with + H/MS, 20% physical vulnerability might be cool. You trade off the damage reduction for an ability to avoid a fight.

Adding sorc to some gear though would be interesting, it's such a generally underpowered class that it wouldn't be unbalancing.

While not every sorc will take it, the class does have easy access to invisibility. Now, if you do want to make a sneaky sorc, invest skill points and pick up some of the easily available non class specific loot. Rock out from there and you may find yourself rewarded with even better.

Adding this to the pointless suggestions pile.  You realise guys that big H doesn't like people assuming that they know the be-all and all-all of the equipment you can find on our module.
