TOPIC: Amulet of Wonder 2011???

Yeah. That disappoints me. I do have a full might set plus a few and the AoW. Now I will probably not be using the AoW and will definitely use the HoP or MoG.

Although, rolling the die is exciting.

Once you roll for the AoW it should be part of your equipment, but the two judges who didn't let you change any other items, wow, you can always use whatever tokens you want. They can't tell you what tokens you can and can't use.

How about if you are already 5th level and you roll that power on the die, then you get to choose any other power from the die.

This would let the people who don't have the necessary tokens for 5th lvel (but have an AoW) a shot at 5th level, and it will also not penalize those that have both 5th level items and AoW.

That sounds great. We currently can only run two with will be 5th level out of our ten on one team, and only four out of ten on the other team we run with. Our "lesser" players we had planned to give the two AoW to now gives them a chance at 5th level as well.

that was for 2011...2012 has not been said yet

Is there ever a time you would run with an AoW over a HoP other than the chance of getting double HoP? They don't need to make the AoW better than the HoP but they do need better options on the die. For example instead of +3 to reflex save they could have +3 to save of your choice. I don't have either so I really don't have a horse in this race but it would be nice for those that do to have an alternate option when rolling.

How about getting rid of the +1 parts instead. To wear a AoW and get +1 to ones AC just doesn't seem right.

We play as a team and used the two AoW and the one HoP as our first choices. We have rolled the double HoP a couple of times, but I think the HoP would overrule the AoW unless we had enough monster bits for the year and were looking for a win.

That is why we are here. Now that the tokens have shipped,it might be a good time to start the 2012 AoW thread.

There are probably a number of people that have the AoW but don't have the HoP, so for them it doesn't need to be better than the HoP. That number will go up if/when the AoW is reprinted.

I have most of my group running with HoP. There are a few that have to run with AoW. I might run with both this year. See what happens.

I picked up the AoW because I was hooked on the 'cool new effects every year' bit of it. It hasn't exactly lived up to my expectations so far, so I've either worn the HoP (normal) or Dragontooth for Grind.
