TOPIC: "Power" or "Cool Factor"

Re: "Power" or "Cool Factor" 16 years 3 months ago #13

Since I always play the wizard for the Companions of Chaos, when I finally joined the Tokenholics Anonymous this fall I got stuff that I thought was kewl for a wizard.  The Cloak of the Mage and Ring of Focus weren't the most sought after tokens but that was what I wanted to make running a wiz a little more kewl.  For my first 2008 purchase I am going to get the Amulet of Wonder.  Not because of it's potential value but because of the kewl effects I think it will have and really, who doesn't want a 4th level wiz in the group in 2008?  I have a second Ring of Focus that I hope to use to get a Ring of Wizardry in trade but I haven't acquired UR's based on perceived value or power.  I equip the CoC and I hope to get kewl stuff for the other classes too but character building is what I focus on first.

<br /><br />The Ring of Focus was one of my Top PURPs I got last year, and I still think it was one of the top PURPs last year.  It adds one to every healing spell the Cleric & Druid do, plus one to every combat spell the Wizard has - and you can pass one ring among the three as required. Plus, you can wear a protective ring for most of the dungeon, and just put in the Ring of Focus when needed.  I ended up with three due to "00" bags, but I don't mind  =)

Since I play either the Bard or the Ranger, my choice of tokens is usually "what can I use for BOTH classes in case I have to switch at the last minute"?  Of course, that's a moot point with the scrolls, but I take those with in case the real spellcasters run out.

Power, but then again I am a megalomaniac.

One of you power maniacs should put your tokens where your mouth is and swap me a chippie elixer or platemail +1 for the woodie version.

<br /><br />Is someone leading the charge by example?

What I'd like to do is encase all the tokens I'll be using in those little plastic holders but the woodie's non-standardized sizes is ticking me off. That's the only reason I'd really prefer a chip version of it.
