TOPIC: Gloves of the Cabal < New Erratum

Quick Token Guide Erratum: The incorrect image for the Gloves of the Cabal was shown on the website and the various guides. The correct image is now shown, but some token collectors may have picked it as an UR choice with a large order -- and they may wish to change it. These people are being contacted so that they have the opportunity to exchange their original Gloves of the Cabal for another UR if they wish. I am very sorry for any inconvenience.

Below is the correct image and entry the Gloves of the Cabal from the QTR:

Gloves of the Cabal

Wearer may affect one additional target with a single-target scroll. Only single-target scrolls are affected by these gloves. Scrolls that inherently affect more than one target do not benefit from this item, even if there is only one eligible target. All eligible scrolls the wearer casts are affected. The rarity of the scroll that can be affected is based on the total number of GotC worn in the party, as shown on the table below. The affected rarity levels are cumulative.
GotC in Party

Scroll Rarity

1–2 Common
3–4 Uncommon/Common
5 Rare/Uncommon/Common

The gloves cannot be used to affect the same target twice with the same scroll. (If the caster has more than one copy of a scroll, subsequent castings may affect the target again, but only once per casting.) As long as the scroll is otherwise eligible, the scroll’s spell may be of any variety. (e.g., buff, damage, heal, etc.)

If the scroll requires a combat slide, you must make one attack for each target. The attack slides are resolved independently. I.e., if one attack misses, that target will be unaffected, but the other target could be affected if that attack hits. If the scroll allows a saving throw, both targets roll their own saving throws independently of one another.

Example 1: The Bard, Cleric, and Druid are wearing Gloves of the Cabal. The Bard casts Scroll Banshee Wail. The scroll works normally because Banshee Wail affects multiple targets. During that combat, both the Ranger and Rogue became infected with lycanthropy. The Cleric casts one Scroll Cure Disease which due to the gloves, cures both characters of their lycanthropy.

Example 2: The Bard, Cleric, Druid, Elf Wizard, and Wizard are wearing Gloves of the Cabal. On round 1 of combat, the Wizard casts Scroll Blink on herself and the Druid. Both the Wizard and Druid are now under the blink effect. The Druid casts Scroll Ball of Lightning but since they are only fighting one monster, it has no additional effect.

Example 3: The Elf Wizard is the only person in the party wearing Gloves of the Cabal. During a combat with both a dryad and a treant, he casts Scroll Chill Touch. He makes two combat slides. The attack against the dryad misses, but the treant is hit. The dryad takes no damage, but the treant takes 6 points of Cold damage.

This item is part of the Cabal Set.

When all three Cabal items are worn, wearers gain the ability to cast two spells from their character card in one round. Either or both spells cast in this manner are capable of being modified because neither is “cast as a scroll”.

Bracelets of the Cabal
Charm of the Cabal
Gloves of the Cabal

is the cabal set 'cast two spells in one round' ability limited to once per room?

And how does the Cabal set ability differ from the Ability of the Bracelets of the Zephyr?

According to the token database the second spell cast with Bracelets of the Zephyr is “cast as a scroll” and cannot be modified by the skill test or other enhancements. But the two spells cast with the Cabal Set bonus are not “cast as a scroll” so they could be modified.

Slightly better then, but I'm going to stick with my Bracelets of the Zephyr (at least for now).

Mmmm - a pretty kewl bonus along with the effects of the individual items. But I loves me my Bracelets.

The Cabal Set power is different than the Bracelets of the Zephyr in two important ways:

1) The power may be used as many times as desired during a room. The BotZ only allow it once per room.

Edited: This is wrong! It can be used only once per room as stated in the various token resources.

2) The "extra" spell can be modified by the same magics as the first spell. With the BotZ, the second spell is cast as a Scroll.

Hi Jeff,

Regarding 1), when did that change from once per room to any number of times per room?

In the token development, per this thread:

www.truedungeon.com/forum?func=view&catid=543&id=162504

It says:

Ultra Rare
Cabal Set Bonus = May cast 2 spells in 1 round, once per room*

*This is much better than the Bracelets of the Zephyr power that is limited to the second spell being cast as a Scroll (which cannot be modified at all).

Whoa - I was on the fence about the set power, but useable multiple times in a room. That is amazing.

I really like functionality of being able to use power 1) above multiple times in a room. It makes the Cabal Set very attractive. Without it, the Set power would seem a little weak, especially with the Bracelets of the Zephyr in existence (and I understand that the Bracelets power differs from the 2) power of the Set).

Good stuff, Jeff. Thanks for the clarification.

Cabal Set
When all three items are equipped, the character may cast two spells in one round, once per room. Unlike the effect from BRACELETS OF THE ZEPHYR, the bonus spell is not cast as a scroll and can be modified.
• BRACELETS OF THE CABAL
• CHARM OF THE CABAL
• GLOVES OF THE CABAL

So is this incorrect?

Well, Jeff is TPTB, so with this change, the cabal set just became pretty much a must-have for my wizard.

I still prefer the old Gloves power (the extra spells), but the ability to affect the casting of scrolls is pretty powerful. Am I correct in thinking this is the first item that alters the casting of scrolls?

I like this version a lot better then the original actually. It plays to the same purpose as the BoZ but if functionally different and in the hands of a group with the resources to really push it the multiple times per room will be explosive for casters.
