TOPIC: 2023 Uncommon Beta Token Images PART TWO

Thanks for your help in tweaking these out! See any typos or weird non-standard wording?

This is going to be one of those rare times ...

Bead of the Cleaver - I'm actually okay with it affecting any rarity of axe. If Enchanter's Whetstone didn't exist, I'd feel differently. If this was usable by barbarian, I'd feel differently. But, talking about an inoffensive class where there are some old axes that can get some love (beyond the not old one that got plenty of love). Consider also that Dwarf likely to run Bead of Guided Strike so is relatively choked on bead slots.

I noticed that it has been a few years since Paladins got any scrolls. Is there any chance they could be added to Scroll Sacred Light?

Should Scroll Tinker's Shield read "Next hit" or is it meant to imply the ability to cast it after the first attack and retroactively remove that damage?

Nitpick alert: bead of the cleaver doesn't look much like a bead. My first thought was that it looks like earcuff of retort.

Pirate pants are transmuting into something?

Could Raven Axe become a Sea Wolf Axe, to help out the common tokens?

I'd swap scroll tinkerer shield to say, "deals 8 points of shock damage to next monster that hits caster in melee" (lasts 1 room)

Fwiw, similar scrolls have been for the entire room (and 6 points, and rare) so this seems reasonable.

If a Bard can wear tinkerer armor, should a Barbarian be able to? I sort of always thought of those 2 as the same where armor was concerned. What about Ranger or rogue?

Yeah don't see a big downside to any Axe to be honest. Image a red player, who runs DF, finds a bargain on an old +2 Great Axe or +2 Dwarven Dire Axe and decides to upgrade to the cool purple weapon, they should be able to use this bead...High level DFs likely will never consider it.

+1 to Pally love!

Still wondering about this mysterious Instant Safeguard spell referenced on Cloak of Wealguard.

Ioun Stone Peridot Prism feels like a completion token to me.

Wonder if Pendant of Healing could become Earcuff of Healing? Seems like this is cool effect, that will like see very little play due to neck slot. But at ear at Red pally might decide to choose to equip this.

Instant Safeguard - 4th level wizzing that even the Normal player doesn't like. I ignored it often when I played at that level of play.

We are so used to 5th level characters, that it gets weird to play 4th level. Really a spell that doesn't need to exist to where I keep wondering whether Elf Wizard +2 AC would make more sense, but I haven't cared enough.

Tweaked! And I changed to it "target" not "caster" to make it more fun for Wizards.

Ohh! I didn't even look at the 4th card, because I wrongly assumed the 4th and 5th had the same spells, just in different quantiles and then 5th had access to Lvl 3 spells... thanks I should have looked more thoroughly.

Could Raven Axe become a Sea Wolf Axe, to help out the common tokens? Done.
