TOPIC: 2026 Rare Token Ideas

Big thanks!

More artwork idea than token effect idea: I'd love to see Mr. Pointy as a weapon image.
buffy.fandom.com/wiki/Mister_Pointy

+1 Hand and a Half Sword
Barbarian, Fighters, Paladin
3-4-4-5-6-7-8-10-10
equip 1H or 2H. Choose at start.

The motivation is to have a rare weapon that I can recommend for PUG players that will work in a Fighter, Paladin, or Barbarian build

Consecrated Holy Symbol: Turn undead vs. vampire prevents [effect] for 1 round

Substitute [effect] with something that a vampire will do in the game (hypnosis, turning into mist, etc.)

Sunstone sphere: Deals sacred damage (high damage wheel, 1 use)

Scroll of Sunburst: Deal sacred damage to all monsters

Trinket of Batform: Polymorph into bat; +2 AC and avoid hazards on ground

Charm of the Sneak
Rogue: +2 to hit with melee attacks

There are better effects available at higher rarity levels, but I think low rarity Rogues could use an accessible melee hit bonus to help counteract having a melee-only ability and no starting STR bonus. +2 to hit is on the stronger side for a R charm, but being class-specific puts it in about the right place.

Vampiric Bracers: +2 retribution damage

Was just going to suggest something similar. And/or Trinket of Wolfform.

500 gp Porcelain doll (cracked face - very creepy looking)
500 gp silver raven

Reprint the Ring of Dark Health - it fits the Cravenloft setting very well.

Scroll: Animate Dead - hands of the dead rise up from the ground slashing at all enemies! 6pt damage to all monsters.

Scroll: Sacrificial healing - burn the corpses of the fallen to heal yourselves! 3 hp healing to entire party - can only be used after winning a combat.

Potion: Mist Form - become incorporeal. Opponents who cannot naturally hit incorporeal have a 50% miss chance against you. You may not make physical attacks for 1 round but may use magic.

I had a similar thought, but give it a vampiric healing effect instead. Any hit heals the wearer +1 HP.

Also thought the werewolf type form would be fun with a rend armor style effect (similar to the Scepter of might effect).

And final poly suggestion, I would love to see a healing based polymorph come around at some point that has a poor damage wheel but allows healing spells while polymorphed at a bonus. My original idea was a treant/faerie but that wouldn't match next years theme.
