TOPIC: Combo Token ideas

Complex indeed.<br /><br />I think a 5 HP increase is too powerful.

When you aren't wearing armor that 5 hitpoints is going to run out pretty fast.

How about an item that lets you keep collecting tokens when you are a ghost.  That's what we really fear about dying - we lose our token opportunities!

That's an excellent idea. The 4c, despite my prior suggestion, should definitely be (in addition to powerful and permanent) something unique and useful to all classes.<br /><br />I was also thinking of:<br /><br />- miniature of experience: You act as though you are 1 level higher than you actually are.<br /><br />- horseshoe of luck: +1 to hit, AC, and all saving throws; any insta-death power or attack that would reduce player below 1 hitpoint is averted using one of 4 charges, but even after these charges are expended, the horseshoe does not become inert and retains its bonuses <br /><br />- Adventurine: This appears to be a common example of this type of stone. When carried throughout an adventure, and shown (though not handed over) at the end of the adventure, the owner received 1 bonus rare item or rare monetary token

The horseshoe of luck is a good idea without the charges (a savior stone with charges?) - as Turnip said, powerful and useful to all classes.<br />

A good question is: How powerful do we expect a 4C to be?<br /><br />- less powerful than the average UR?<br />- equally as powerful as the average UR?<br />- more powerful than the average UR?<br /><br />Incidentally, what is the actual meaning of "4c" when this item could use 6 or even 9 ingredient tokens in its creation?<br /><br />Personally, if it uses this many ingredients, spanning 2-3 years, I feel the single item forged from such a combination should be hands down the most powerful thing TD has ever produced.

I would rather have fun and useful, than powerful.  We have enough power creep already.  For me, a good question would be "will it change the outcome of the run".  If no, but still fun and useful, that would be great by me.

<br />How about "The girdle of Garagos" as a 4c.<br /><br />This is an item bearing the name of the psychotic deity of battle, destruction, and plunder of the same name.<br />

<br /><br />I've have to find the e-mails I sent out, but I did a LOT of research about Iuz and Greyhawk whilst I was trying to figure out Jeff's 2007 clues.<br />We could name the 4C combo after Iuz's mother (witch) or father (demon).  I think he has a sister, too, but I'd have to go find all the links with the info.  That seems cool and in-theme.<br /><br />JKW

<br /><br />Said like a tokenholic.<br /><br />The masses, however, probably prefer the experience itself to the tokens.

Ahh, but the masses aren't obsessively collecting ingredient tokens...

<br /><br />They talked about it a bit in the last Dragon, or Dungeon. Something to do with Iggwilv, her real name possibly being Tasha, and Baba Yaga.

<br />d20 post again... in d20 a shirt or vest takes up a slot.  So this slot is actually used in TD.  There is only one slot that hasn't been used by TD - the eye slot.  That takes eye lenses or goggles.<br /><br />

<br /><br />It doesn't match the ingredients, but glasses or goggles would be cool! <br /><br />Safety Goggles: protection from OSHA fines (... and pointy sticks in the eye)
