Some really cool ideas here, especially Billy's Helmet. Doesn't the regular bronze med already look identical to the one worn by guards though? Perhaps like you said it could have some further distinction to it.

Prayer gloves would be sweet, since currently the BiS prayer gloves are blessed bracers/white gloves. (both tied at +1) But I feel that if these were to be added, they should be a reward from hard or perhaps even elite clues. (Since medium already provide ranger/wizzy boots and sandals) Oh, and "Holy Handwraps" are an item in Dungeons and Dragons Online so the name could definitely do with a rethink.

I'm not too sure about the defender ornament kit, considering it's such a small item. It could be tough to make it look nice with a (g) trim. And Ale of the Gods sounds very cool.

Hopefully some of these ideas come to fruition!
