TOPIC: Re: Token guide errata

I think misprints are KEWL

Yah, but they are a royal pain in the butt when you are trying to manage something like the collector's matrix<br /><br />Dave

As far as TD need be concerned - just post the sets and what SHOULD have been created...let the collectors fuss over the misprints and anomalies ...

<br />

<br />How about my case, where I have tokens that were in 2005a but not in 2005b or 2006, but I have with a 2005b back?  Were there any tokens in the 2005b run accidentally printed with the 2005a front template?<br />

<br /><br />There should not have been, the tokens with the 2005b backing should not have even been there when the 2005a tokens were printed.  The only thing I can think is that I seem to recall an emergency printing of a batch of tokens for SoCal 2005 (sort of a last minute thing, it was all arranged over the phone from SoCal), I suppose the printer could have grabbed the wrong screen.<br /><br />What token is it?<br /><br />Dave<br />

<br /><br />Dave,<br /><br />The three tokens I have that were part of 2005a but have 2005b backs are the Scroll of Detect Magic,  Wand of Cure Light Wounds,  and Scroll of Endure Elements.  <br /><br />To answer your question on the other thread, the misprints I have that are 2006 tokens with 2005b backs are Elven Chain, +1 Plate Armor, +1 Longbow, and Scroll of Mage Hand.  <br /><br />I agree that the checklists should only include the official tokens from that print run, not misprints.  Although, it would be very neat to have a listing somewhere of all known misprints (because you know I want them all  =) ).<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Mike

I have set up an appendix in the token guide that lists all possible tokens where misprints could be identified.  I have started placing indicators where people have itentified they have a misprinted token.  Send me any you identify (or post them here), and I will keep the list updated as I find them out and release new versions of the guide.<br /><br />Note: there were some purps printed on tokens with a .com back (in 2005 I think).  If you have some of those, let me know what they are.<br /><br /><br />Dave

Dave,<br /><br />I'm not sure if this counts as a misprint since the entire print run was this way, but in 2005a the Quarter Staff and +1 Quarter Staff were printed as Quarter Sraff and +1 Quarter Sraff. 

Yah, I am not counting that one, it is more of a typo, but those tokens are fairly hard to find now...<br /><br />

i have an ultra rare cloak of displacement with a dragon head. i think thats what it is. pretty sure it is from 2005b.

<br />Yah, I am not counting that one, it is more of a typo, but those tokens are fairly hard to find now...<br /><br /><br />

<br /><br />Similarly, the Elixir of Life from 2005a was spelled "Exilir of Life".  =)

Token Guide on the Scroll: Scorching Ray description.<br /><br />It reads on Page 37, bottom of page: Dexterity bonuses, such as that from the Bracers of Archery, do not apply<br /><br />First, Bracers of Archery do not grant Dexterity bonuses, should the guide perhaps read  Potion of Cats Grace or Gloves of Dexterity.  <br />Or is it actually 'Damage Bonuses, such as that from Bracers of Archery, do not apply' (so Dex bonuses do make it easier to hit with Ray spells as one would expect).<br /><br />Lastly, there should be a period at the end of the sentence.

Question on the Bracelet of the Zephyr (this is carried over from the Sigh... thread  under Token Trades that may escape Dave's Notice)<br /><br />Sorry, but I am a bit confused, Zephyr only works on spells?<br /><br />(From the combo token recipe thread truedungeon.com/trueforum/index.php?topic=3954.0 <br /><br />3C - Bracelets of the Zephyer - When worn, allows a spell caster to cast two spells in one round (useable once per room), the spells may be memorized or from scrolls (scrolls must still be turned in)  NOTE: this will not stack with a belt of retrieval.<br /><br />So I go and look at the token guide and see, sure enough the token guide says spells only.<br />on page 60<br />'Wearing this pair of bracelets allows a spell caster, once per combat, to cast an additional spell within the combat  round as a free action. Note: only one free action is allowed per combat round.'<br /><br />which is slightly different from the wording on page 33<br /><br />'Wearing this pair of bracelets allows a spell caster, once per combat, to immediately cast an additional unused spell within the combat round as a free action. Note: only one free action is allowed per combat round.'<br /><br />During the 2008 run, we had it ruled as it was on the thread, but clarity is sought and the various write-ups should be consistent.<br />Many thanks,<br />Greyseer<br /><br />P.S. if you want to read impassioned pleas to allow scrolls see the 'Sigh...' thread<br />

I wanted it to apply to all spells scroll or memorized, Jeff did not.  I will go and argue with him some more and see who wins...<br /><br />Dave
