The farming of consumables and especially being able to get them charged by Heralds, as which Iyorvin referred to, is pretty scary in some hands. The healing scroll that many are referring to seems much needed in some cases. It had buffed invokers, ninjas and battlemages the most. With the exception of the battlemage I feel it was warranted. I've always felt that it was intended for goods to have some counterplay against the better equipment that neutrals/evils can wear.
Now that I think about it, I wonder why neutrals are allowed to use it also? My guess is that these same three classes are stronger as either good or evil in alignment.
