TOPIC: 2023 Rare Token Ideas

Please post your ideas for 2023 Rare tokens in this thread.

Robe of the Philosopher
Torso
-1 DEX, -1 STR, +2 INT, +2 WIS

+1 Goblin Maul
(as Goblin Maul +1)

Redstone reprint

Marksman's Bead
Bead
+2 to hit with Blunder weapons

Ravager Pants
Legs
+1 STR

Spectacles of the Scoundrel
Eyes
Fighters, Rogue
+3 Will save

Ring of brilliance reprint.

Iridescent Spindle reprint.

Gitgub's Coco Nuts
Cures 8 points of damage when consumed

Traveler’s Tankard: Bigger and better than the Traveler’s Cup. Water poured into it turns into excellent rum, whiskey, beer, etc. (user’s choice) 1/game. A must for every pirate.

Reprint suggestions:
- +2 Cloak of Resistance
- Staff and Baton of Focus; perhaps combine with the Mystic Staff concept from last year

Also, echo the request for Iridescent Spindle and Ring of Brilliance.

Potion of Polymorph: Vorpal Bunny ( with big sharp teeth!)

+1 to Iridescent Spindle

A swashbuckler "light armor" set that takes the same slots as the Defender set, but provides a different set bonus than Free Movement. For example:
- Dread Pirate's Mask (head slot): +1 saves and some other effect
- Light armor (torso): +4-5 AC
- Swash Buckler (offhand): +1 AC some fun minor effect

Set bonus: Something like "immune to surprise" or immune some conditions that target Will saves (Charm, Confusion, Fear) to mirror the slow, hold, other hindrances of Defender.

Buccaneer Cape - back slot - adds 1AC, reduces damage received from firing blunder weapons by 50%

Clearwater Goggles - wearer can clearly see underwater or through murky liquids.

Boots of Plankwalk - maintain sure footing on moving or slippery surfaces +1 AC.
(I added 1AC and elevated to rare due to similarity to the uncommon Shoes of Spiderfoot (2015) without some other benefit. Since they are boots, added 1 AC)

I'd like to see GP item values spread out a little more than just two items at the Rare tier, so, shamelessly stealing an idea by Fiddy (and perhaps others), I think a way to do this would be to keep a couple "pure" GP items with slightly lower values, and then a few "gear" GP items (essentially Rare equippable items that have a GP value in addition).

"Pure" GP Rare Item Ideas:
Huge Rose Pearl (350 gp)
Siren Bust (300 gp)

"Gear" GP Rare Item Ideas:
+1 Gilded Rapier (200 gp)
Ioun Stone Golden Pearl (200 gp, some Ioun Stone effect)
Bangles of the Tide (200 gp, wrist slot, +2 Dex and +1 Will)

These are just examples, of course.

I'd like to see some type of missle offhand item for classes that can't use a buckler.

What would the items count for with transmute? GP or gear (or both?)?
