TOPIC: 2025 Uncommon Tokens

Uncommon

Looks good, Heimdall's Pendant could use an "or" or a "total" to show that the total bonus is +2 AC, not +4 AC. The uncommon Sea Raider Bear Armor should probably only give 4 AC, since it's currently the exact same token as the rare Nether Stout Armor, and with an extra set bonus on top.

Volva's Hearty Ration:
Didn't comment on it last round, but thank for changing it! No longer feels inferior to the Potion in this set. Curious, though: does this stack with Totem Paints?

I looked over these for common errors (e.g. wrong transmute category, missing hand icons, etc.), and didn't spot any.

Scroll Ymir's Cough is restricted to Bard & Wizards, whereas the common and rare scrolls in this set that damage all monsters are usable by Cleric and Druid as well. I'd make the classes that can use them consistent.

Scroll Ymir's Cough:
This is limited to just Bard and Wizards, but the proposed Rare Scroll Sif's Shout is also available to Cleric and Druid. Is this discrepancy intended?

Please add either an uncommon polymorph potion or a Trinket that can be used in every room (or at least doesn't restrict other trinkets from being used in other rooms).

Large Axe of Throwing:
Rename to Large Throwing Axe to match the proposed Rare +1 Large Throwing Axe

Sea Raider Battle Axe:
Not only is average damage 4.5 is the same as the Common SR Axe (4.5) and lower than the Common SR Cleaver (4.625), this is also more restrictive, disallowing Bard. An Uncommon should be better than a Common, either in average damage or class access, not worse!

Sea Raider Battle Club:
Average damage 4.375 is lower than the Common SR War Club (4.5). While this allows Ranger, it disallows Bard. Given Rangers are meant to be better than Bards at Melee, it seems weird this token is both lower damage and higher rarity.

Thanks! Fixed both.

Yes, it would stack.

Thanks for checking. I do think I like the Scrolls as they are now -- which I grant is different than the norm.

I fixed all three. Thanks! Good catches.

For "Oil Odin's Blessing", should it be "Oil of Odin's Blessing", to match other oils over the years? If you're setting a new standard (or there's no space for it), I withdraw the suggestion.
