TOPIC: Showing Teeth in Dungeon.

Was wondering if I could get an official ruling on this :

Last year, to designate teeth, some room coaches would put a circle with a number in it (1) or (2) on the party sheet next to the psychic powers tick. Could we encourage (make this normal) this trend? Or maybe just have an area next to psychic powers to list the level?

I'm currently sewing up bandoleers for a full party, and this is the difference between sewing 61 token slots vs 91 token slots. 101 slots next year ( etc.) every year more teeth come out, you might potentially need to show them.

Thanks.

We should make it a class card extension. Like a Psychic attachment that has a list of numbers (1-9) and stickers could be placed over the coordinating teeth the player posses. Then a simple black mark over the sticker means that the ability has been used, like DM's do with spells already.

Hell, Jeff could get creative with it and have it shaped like a brain that comes out of the top of the class card with numbers along the edge.

We don't need to 'get creative' [which sounds over complicated and very expensive what with printing new cards and stickers], we can just formalize what some people did last year, and have them mark the # of teeth on the party card. Simple, wouldn't even need to change the party card - which is also already printed. If there is a need to 'mark it as used' the DM can just line through psychic power on the party card itself.

I don't know about other DMs, but I don't mind a nice smile in the dungeon once in a while...

If you promise not to tell anyone I didn't immediately crush your dream (one must keep up one's reputation, after all), I'll see what Jeff and the other Coordinators think.

Would it be possible to also ask about the other 20 or so tokens that might be asked to be shown by a room DM?

Cue the #Dreamcrusher...

I can't tell if that's sarcasm...

Yeap. Curious why one would ask about indicating only a handful of the tokens that a room DM might ask for instead of evaluating a larger set of them and see which are easiest to add.

Probably because there is already a column on the party card for "psychic", but the coaches guide indicates to just put a check mark there if psychic, and it would be just as easy to write a number instead of the check mark.

It might be beneficial to more players if the psychic column is retitled to allow for the noting of one of several of the tokens that a room DM might ask to see. This might also save more time inside one of the rooms of an event.

Exactly this. Teeth don't 'change rules' like Shadowskin or Divine Lenses. They are just counters that could be recorded during coaching. Three years from now, a party full of psychics would be expected to carry an additional *60* tokens into the dungeon just to verify psychic level.

Some room coaches found an elegant solution to this last year .. just felt like it got lost in the chaos that is GenCon.
