TOPIC: 2019 Ultra-Rare Token Suggestions

Maybe greater focus (+2). Or for something different, lenses that allow spells “cast as a scroll” to receive spell bonuses. Or psychic lenses would be nice too (free up a head, neck, or IS slot currently used for psychic powers).

You're right that arcane spellcasters best eye slot option is probably Lenses of Focus (maybe Lenses of Sage Speed in a niche build).

Earlier I proposed a wand boosting eye slot cabal set item for that purpose, or a simple +2 Lenses of Focus would be interesting.

Certainly an item that allowed modifiers to apply to "as a scroll" things would be interesting too.

I've seen more than one Wizard put together a pretty rocking build built around Lenses of Sage Speed, both in Grind and in the Dungeon. They may not have had as much top-end damage, but tons of consistent damage round over round against multiple targets. And probably the fastest spellcaster activity I've seen.

I think one of the keys though is that you need multiple targets for the build to be worthwhile. So, last year's dungeon that had multiple targets in every combat was great for this.

A second key thought is you have to be willing to burn multiple consumables per round. I’ve done it - but realistically the number of people willing to burn 2 rare scrolls a round for several rounds in grind had to be less than 10.

How about boots for the paladin? Boots of Protection- allows 2nd guard (frees up neck slot) or Boots of Radiant Smite: +4 damage to evil and undead and maybe free movement. Could possibly add to Redoubt or Templar sets.

Make it a Holy Weapon that clerics can also wield! So maybe not a sword...

What about something like was suggested above, where there is a holy weapon that can banish an evil outsider with a max damage star on a 20?

Holy mace, holy hammer?

The holy sword is iconic. They can do other Holy weapons but at our hart, all of us paladins really want it to be a sword.

You might find a paladin somewhere that disagrees but there likely a anti paladin in disguise.

Another holy weapon was the Holy Water Sprinkler. Perhaps they could reprint Holy Water as a common and Clerics and Paladins could use them like ammo to do additional damage with the Holy Water Sprinkler.

Aspergillum?

I think that is the ceremonial version of it...

New cabal items would be cool. There isnt a cabal item for wands yet.

Cabal quartet? Make it a cabal wand?
+2 Wand of the Cabal

I mean since apparently wands are permanents now... (Missed that somehow...)

When polymorphed you may use magic items like wands, scrolls, etc.

(I'm hoping to get this + shirt of the Fae really, truly mean polymorph with no restrictions).

YES PLEASE! Give us back the abilities we lost when they changed the definition of 'no polymorph restrictions'.

Second this!

Very interesting - I like it! Usable by all?

Once per combat?

Haven’t gotten through more than the first page of this but thought I’d ask.

Shuriken of Awesome
Damage, pluses and stuffs, flurry of blows usable

Does a weapon for monks at UR ranged like that exist? I was not aware in 2014 of how awesome things were and totes missed some gloves. I was hoping Asher had a younger brother that liked Shuriken enough to have some cool ones made that were better than your average bears monks Shuriken of Shock, maybe Reshi knows a blacksmith? I saw more Viper Strike talked on page one, Viper Strike Shuriken seem like they would need to be +1 returning Shuriken, and some poor fool might want a relic version.

Earcuff of Focus
+2 Ranged/Spells

We have a lot of earrings that do a lot of things with bardsong, perhaps an earing that adds bardsong damage bonus to wands, and another that adds it to scrolls, allow for more build diversity? Also possibly a scroll version of the +2 wand damage ioun stone.
