TOPIC: Re: Combo Token ideas

<br />Oh come on, George & Gary... you know all you guys wanted to wear the pretty black dresses too.  =]<br /><br />

<br /><br />Sorry Jammies but one look at my legs in a dress and even a drow would have nightmares. 

I think that the 4C tokens are going to be hard enough to make that they should be something usable by everyone. I also hope that one of them will be an item that I would actually use, if it's going to be a lot of trouble to make. <br /><br />Ideas that would allow some purple token player power-creep, but not change player balance too much:<br />A simple luckstone (+1 to hit, +1 to saves or even a weaker +1 to saves only) would be something that everyone would use.<br />Ioun stone: +2 strength would be something that almost everyone would benefit from<br />Ioun stone: +2 constitution (so +1 fort saves, +3 hp) would be something everyone, I think, would love to have<br />Might change player balance:<br />Boots of Speed (player gets to make a extra attack once per dungeon) would be something nearly everyone could benefit from<br /><br />Non-combat items:<br />Chime of Opening (limited use--maybe 3 charges, acts as a knock spell but does not set off traps)<br />Gem of insight(could be either limited use or once per dungeon--player gets a room specific hint from the GM)<br />Wand of Wonder(limited use--maybe 3 charges. GM rolls a d20 and applies a specific random mostly benign or helpful effect--would require another GM card, but would be easy to do)<br /><br />While a drow rod of tentacles (usable only by clerics, acts as a flail in combat, living monsters must save or loose a turn) would be a very cool drow specific item, it wouldn't have a lot of use by most people.

4C tokens will not be class specific.

How about : The City of Greyhawk Key - one per party, usable once and then it is destoryed - it allows the party to (defeat) one room by bypassing it all together. Must be used when they first enter a room. They take no damage from anything. But they don't get to do the Rogue's chest or anything besides getting the token( if there is one) for solving the room.

It's a kewl idea, but doesn't seem like much fun - I want to solve the puzzle/fight the monster.  Are you thinking it would be an emergency use item (all low on HP, cleric dead, no hope, etc.)?<br />
