TOPIC: Last Chance to Give General Token Guidance

I don't want specific token ideas here, but rather I want you to tell me some general things I should be sure to do with the 2009 token set.  For example, tell me something like, "Hey, put some head gear in for non-fighter for Gygax sake!"<br /><br />Or...you should have a set of three items all from this year that form a set and give a bonus -- like with the Dragonscale stuff.<br /><br />Or...give the Ranger his own specific UR token<br /><br /><br />(you get the idea)<br /><br />However, we will talk about Combo tokens later.

You should include some weapon items for the monk.<br /><br />Make at least one token that's for a slot that hasn't been used yet.  Perhaps something like an anklet.<br /><br />Kim

Create a token that allows wands to be recharged.  Perhaps this is something that could be specifically available for purchase.<br /><br />Kim

Add a PURP weapon specifically for the Druid, and another specifically for the Fighter.<br /><br />Start another 3 year cycle of items like the Dragonscale items, one per year, that give an added bonus when used together.  <br /><br />

How about some items that are in a given slot - but allow for another item to be worn from another slot.<br /><br />Same principle as the Hand of Glory, only make the hand do something as well.  <br /><br />(weapon like a Staff or Dagger that holds a ring) (+1 Amulet that holds a ring) <br /><br />I'm focused on rings because we have like 20 in the game and can only use 2...not that this is totally a bad thing...but having an item that bumps rings to 3 would be kinda cool.

I know that there are some items out there in the D&D world that are a play on Gary Gygax's name.  Use one of them in the token collection this year as a tribute to him.<br /><br />Kim

<br />I agree a class (like the ranger) that doesn't have a purp specifically for them should have a kewl UR token.<br /><br />Non-helmet headgear (like a Fancy Hat!)<br /><br />Spell components (consumables a spellcaster could use to boost the strength of a spell), not applicable to scrolls<br /><br />common clothing tokens<br /><br />familiar tokens

But a Ranger's strength is his/her utility...they can use lots of +2 weapons in primary hand and Nightshade in off hand...and armor, and girdle and...don't forget bows!<br /><br />When thinking a certain class needs a PURP - think about ALL the ones they can use.  I think we are still shy in the non-tanks over Rangers...<br /><br />Anyone have time to do a list of how many PURPS each class can use - that might help Jeff decide what to roll out this year?<br /><br />

Sounds like a great idea if someone has the time!

Working on it now, will PM/e-mail it to you when done.

I know we wizards have been blessed with kewl URs lately.<br />

The monk could probably use a cool ultra rare.<br /><br />Kim
