Bloody Sigil is horribly underpowered for anyone that isn't a rogue or a human who has already converted a few glyphs. Troll Heart is just abysmal; even in an ideal circumstance it will only grant 10 extra hit points (which requires reaching effective level 11 through Humility) which is pathetic when compared against pendant of health which gives you +10 health when it matters most: right away. These items are bought strictly for conversion points and need overhauls.
Using the fine sword against the pendent of health as a comparison, we would say that 1 point of base damage is worth 2.5 hit points. If we use Trisword as our baseline, a troll heart should provide 7-8 hit points per level. Since trisword is a bit overpowered, I'd say the troll heart should move to providing 5 hit points per level.
Bloody Sigil should have its conversion points drastically lowered and it needs a change to its penalty so it's not a rogue-exclusive item anymore. For most characters it's only useful at level 1, and even for rogues who have a lot to gain from extra HP it can hit the conversion bin as early as level 3.
