TOPIC: Class Powers on tokens

Class Powers on tokens 10 months 6 days ago #1

With the class card redesign coming up, I got curious: which class Powers are referenced on tokens? This is not intended to limit how far class redesign can go (for example, Jeff has stated that Polymorph will be limited to just Druid going forwards, rendering Charm of the Doppelganger and Shoes of Skill useless to Elf/Wizards without legacy Polymorph potions), but to keep in mind that the existing token pool may be impacted if certain Powers are removed.

Here's a list of the Powers I found on tokens:
Barbarian: Rage
Bard: Bardsong; skill test; spells (0th level, 0th level damaging, 1st level, 1st level damaging, 1st level healing *, 2nd level; damaging, healing)
Cleric: Restore Power; Restore Spell; Turn Undead; skill test; spells (0th level, 0th level damaging *, 1st level (5/game) , 1st level healing, 1st level damaging, 2nd level; damaging, healing; Cure Light Wounds )
Druid: Spell Surge; skill test; spells (0th level, 0th level damaging, 1st level (5/game) , 1st level damaging, 1st level healing, 2nd level; damaging, healing; Cure Light Wounds , Freezing Orb )
Elf: skill test; spells (0th level, 0th level damaging, 1st level, 1st level damaging, 2nd level; damaging, slide; Magic Missile )
Dwarf: Taunt
Fighter: (none)
Monk: Dazing/Stunning Fist; Flurry of Blows
Paladin: Detect Evil†; Guard; Lay on Hands; Remove Disease
Ranger: Favored Enemy ; spells ( 1st level healing )
Rogue: Sneak Attack
Wizard: skill test; spells (0th level, 0th level damaging, 1st level, 1st level damaging, 2nd level; damaging, slide; Magic Missile )
* effect exists without Spell to use
† proposed in 2025 set

Are there any others I missed? Mentioned in posts below:
Elf: spells ( Instant Safeguard **)
Monk: Evasion/Improved Evasion‡
** 4th level characters only
‡ as reference only
Cleric main / Druid secondary

Instant Safeguard comes to mind as I wish nothing did refer to it.

Even if the spell made more sense and just increased AC by 5 rather than being exceedingly weird, still want the spell gone as it takes up a slot that could be something wizards care about.

I am not saying it’s right or wrong, but TD did impact class abilities and tokens in the past when they got rid of wands. I think Ring of the Siren may have even still been a PYP at the time, but not 100% certain.

Oooo, fascinating that there's a token that only works with a 4th level Elf, but not 5th level, where it gets replaced by Acid Ray.

While they do reference the Monk Power, they wouldn't exactly break if Monks no longer had the Power; they'd just need an explanation instead. I'd argue it's more shorthand than the Power on a token... though looking at my prompt again, this does technically fulfill the letter of my request, not my intention.

Yeah, the last wands were printed in 2021, same year as the Ring of the Siren; and Mystic Staves seem to have replaced them starting in 2022.
Another "fun" nerf related to wands are the 2017 UR Medallion of Mystic Mouth and 2018 UR Ioun Stone Fluorite Cube . Both were in-print PYP in 2018, the year of chargeless wands... then wands became consumables again with no warning in 2019, after players had time to PYP those two in response to the initial change.

Rage and fury for Barbarians.


Only class skill check another class can automatically pass is Druid with a UR bowl. Unique case of one class having power of another while the other class is present in the party. Should be errata to only allowed if other class is not in the party.
