Most are bad attempt to use the D&D like erroneous equipment of game or bad supplement and don't serve much purpose. Vampire is not supposed to revolve over magical equipment, they should be rare and costly, and frankly you have chosen the more akward ones.

This melee weapon can be useful and the built-in concealead may resolve some of the melee weapon problem, but, seriously, 2 pool to strike at strength damage ???

Do you prefer to pay cost for a bundhi? Fine... you can even add +1 strength. For me, the concealed weapon hability is better than have a plus one or two damage, even because we are talking about assamits and their baal's bloody talons. See that I did not put a rarity for them, not even a unique clause.

The others are all taken from Vampire suplements or based games, nothing from D&d or any other RPG. I like very much equipments, the art of them and everything else, and, remember, we are talking about a game with a cloack to stop toreador/!toreador (with use only for Helena, if I can say), Sword of Nuln, Judgement and Weirding Stone. I'm only trying to bring equipments the major of the RPG players know, because they figurated on the best-seller suplements.

Are you aware in this case of the weighted walking stick ? 2 pool for that is simply way too much. Bundi is a very bad card only sometimes saved by the fact that it allow aggravated hand damage at 2 base damage for Hektor and some assamites.

They came from videogame or RPG suplement for Vampire, yes. They are erroneous in that they don't fit in the spirit. Because a mistake is made in some random supplement don't mean that VtES need to reproduce the same error - the Aabt kindred have the same problem, but at least the card look cool.

And the videogames are often completely bogus in what they present.

In short : they does not feel cool, they does not have a logical role, and they come from about the worse example of that kind of thing for vampire.

You do not play the RPG, I must say. We can low the cost, of course... but remember, despite WWS, the kukri should stay, and does not have any counter to burn.

Don't know about you, but my imbued would like to have an Eye of the Gangrel to add +1 intercept, or a Jarthis Tongue. You could not like them, but that don't mean that they are bad, or do not fit good for some decks.

that must explain why I see Ivory Bow, Heart of Nizchetus, or Bowl of Convergence in every single game
