Two amulets - that's become a must-have token now.  Love the new Dragonheart Charm!  Minor wording change - +2 Heavy Trident of Skewering - Instead of "Any '20' means +5 damage...."  how about "Any '20' deals +5 damage...".

Veery interesting changes.

Tulz's crown is quite powerful. The neck slot items are, so far, the most powerful non-artifact items in the game. Are you sure you want people to be able to run around with two of them at the same time? Will make for some interesting choices thats for sure. This is a game changer, and will probably be a must have for every die hard player.

I'm glad of the sub out of the ioun stone, since it didn't seem that helpful.

Thanks for making the change in wording for the tome of trickery.

I like the visual changes to the mithral boots and lenses of true sight. I preferred the old image for the ring, though.

I don't like the change to the girdle of might, but then I was in the minority with liking the +2 strength and immune to stun.

  • I liked the image on the first Ring of Protection +2 better. This one is rather plain.

  • Nice changes to the Vestments, both in appearance & title.

  • I miss the Blue Pearl Ioun Stone.

  • Tulz's Amulet Crown... wow that's powerful! I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe too powerful considering the neck slot is arguably the most powerful slot in TD.

  • Love the new Dragonheart charm image!

  • I like the Lenses of True Sight as spectacles, but those look kind of modern to me, especially the mirrored lenses.

  • I think the previous Short Sword of the Sun had a more interesting hilt & blade but this one's cross-guard is cooler.

The Crown lets you wear an extra Ring along with a single Neck item if you combine it with a hand of Glory.   =)

It seems overpowered to me also, replacing a pretty weak slot with the most powerful slot in the game.

So can you wear 3 neck items if you use a wish ring?     Can multiple Hands of Glory be Worn to allow 4-5 rings?

Wow... Some great stuff here!

First off, the crown  :O As much as I want one, isn't it too good? I'll have to ruminate on this for a bit, maybe there's enough of a sacrifice.

Heavy Trident of Skewering: How about, '+5 damage on any "20" ', matches the Dagger of Venom from 2009

Scepter of Might: The wording on this seems a little clunky now. How about "Any hit gives target -1 to hit (-4 max)"

Ring of Protection: I'm not sure why the picture was changed, the other one was awesome. Also needs a space between "Protection" and "+2"

Boots: Something makes me think the two boot pictures got swapped somehow.

Lenses of True Sight: Love the new picture.

Sorry, but I hate the new Might Girdle.  Before it interesting and fairly well balanced.  Now it just seems to penalize the warrior type classes; the characters who most need an Str bonus and have the lowest Will save to begin with.  The last version was on par with the Celestial Girdle, now it just feels... inferior.


Also, why only 20 URs?  If you did 30, you would have a few more to play around with, and the set would be an even 150 tokens...

I just noticed that, and I would have to agree.

I agree with the people saying the old picture on the Ring of Protection +2 was way cooler.

Alright, the whole argument for making the Ring of Protection +2 only +2 even though the rare Torc is +2 was that neck slots were more valuable because there was only one.  With this crown it blows that whole argument up.  There are only a few good head slot items and a great many great neck slot items.  I just don't think this item should be let out of the bag.

I have decided to reverse sides on the whole power creep and say, I liked the belt of might way better before, it was balanced, it added something other then great stats to the game, now it just increases states and lessens will.  It is just to much.

I disagree with making the boots of might +3 con.  It is too powerful.  We had gone through the whole power creep discussion and we balanced the ur's out and now I just feel that we went the other way.  If we are going to up these URs, then lets put the protection back to +3.

I had thought that the whole reason Jeff kept making these super-powerful neck Slot items was so that people would choose them over the Horn of Plenty.  Now, with this Crown, that is completely undone, because people can wear the Horn of Plenty AND another Neck Slot item.  And for classes that don't need Helms, like Rogues, Bards, Wizards, Druids without Dragonscale Armor - it's not even much of a Sacrifice.

Well, it is a sacrifice for the wizard - I might have to pass on the crown b/c of my circlet of elemental mastery.  I'm not knocking the crown, though - it's pretty kewl.
