Since Clerics aren’t getting their legendary next year, and I’m not saying they should, it would be nice if we could get an exclusive UR. Not sure what... a Hymnal? Something for our Beads? A Censer? A reliquary?

I’m torn about reprinting Greater Holy Symbol, and don’t want to obsolete that one... so I’d personally want something else but I don’t know what.

Maybe a slotless reliquary that adds a few points to turning (after GHS doubling, of course)

I know people are sick of slotless, but it would be very limited so maybe it’s okay

Brad, as much as I love Clerics, our Fighter brethren haven't had a Fighter-only UR since 2010, the Plate Armor of Attack .

Hush you

Okay, they can have one, too.

Way to stick-together, gang! Honestly, though. I wouldn't mind waiting. I'm still in the process of Giln's, Byr's, Pern's, and Pharcus'!

Would it be too weak at +2 charms, like the bracelets? I don't really know.

If we do slot expanders (which we should do VERY cautiously), I hope we expand Ioun Stones again.

I do not expect this to happen FWIW

The number "3" is coming from the synergy with the 2017 charming set which maxes out at 6 charm slots. Is there another slot as "powerful" as the neck slot where a +3 charm slot expander could sit?

Anyone that is currently using the 2017 Charming Set is in a tough decision when it comes to the class relic and legendary necks that are coming. Many of the good charms require significant investment and switching to the charm bracelets is not an appealing option for some.

Would it be reasonable to have a 1 to 1 slot transformer so the magical 6 slots can be obtained?

Hmmm...

What about ~20 Charisma granting another charm slot? You know... because you would be so... charming?

Acknowledging the predicament of charming set users by providing an alternative way to get their 6 charm slots would be worthwhile if we can do it in a balanced manner. It feels like the number of charm slots should be 2 to 3 in the belt slot and I like the idea of charms sitting on/in a belt... getting "Deltora" flashbacks now...

Whatever happened to the Charming set anyway? I thought it was supposed to replace the Might set in some manner, but it has yet to have any of its pieces reprinted. Are we done with it? If so, that was fast.

Also, some of my Ultra Rare suggestions for next year:

Ring of the [insert cool name here]
+5 Fire damage with 2-handed melee weapons

And since we're all getting tome slots (right?):

How to Hurt Things for Dummies (tome)
+3 damage with 2-handed Melee Weapons

Pointy end goes that way! (tome)
+2 damage with Melee Weapons

Aim, then Fire (tome)
+2 damage with Ranged Weapons

This is funny.

It'd be funnier if it was a two-handed weapon.

Monks are supposedly getting a Class specific Legendary, so what about:

Torc of Ki Channeling
+1 to hit, +1 to melee damage, and +1 to AC
Usable by: Monk

Torc of Ki Master
+1 to hit, +1 to melee damage, and +1 to AC, may hit ranged target with Flurry of Blows
Usable by: Monk

(either Torc of Ki Channeling or Gloves of Fly Fist can be used to make the relic)

Wrentaile's Torc of the Ki Avatar
+2 to hit, +2 to melee damage, and +2 to AC, may hit ranged target with Flurry of Blows, Stunning Fist activates on 19-20
Usable by: Monk

I'd love to see another way to do ranged sneak attacks, or even just a reprint of lenses of vital insight.

If we want to focus on more tomes there are the Manuals (Bodily Health, Gainful Exercise, and Quickness of Action) for physical stats and Tomes (Clear Though, Leadership and Influence, and Understanding) for the mental. Maybe +1 to the stat at the rare level and +2 at the UR?

Manual of Fast Strike
+1 To Party Initiative, +2 to hit and damage in the first round of combat (melee/range)
Usable by: Barbarian, FIghter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, & Rogue

Tome of Energy Control
+1 To damage/healing with spells, -2 damage from spells
Usable by: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Wizard

Tome of Exploits
Monster gets -1 to hit and AC after a successful Sneak Attack
Usable by: Rogue

Tome of Cleaving
A successful hit with a two-handed weapon does 5 damage to one other monster.
Usable by: Barbarian, Fighter

Librium of Radiant Channeling
+1 Sacred to damage with melee/spells
Usable by: Cleric, Monk, Paladin

Tome of Vibrato
While singing, if at least one melee attack hits a monster, it takes Sonic damage equal to your CHA bonus (or Caster Bonus, if Jeff implements it).
Usable by: Bard

Communion Whine (reusable) - Clerics only - Doubles protectiveness of spells (Prayer)

(not a real idea, just done in fun)

Love it if charm necklace was reprinted.

With most classes getting a neck slot specific legendary in the next 1 to 2 years, I would prefer a different slot for a charm expander.

Probably too soon for a charm bracelets reprint. Like 3 years too soon.

I bought that item and never use it.
