TOPIC: 2021 Rare Feedback Part Two

Thanks for bumping back up Amulet of Smashing to +4. I know I had called for it to be lowered, but thinking about Ring of Brilliance / Ring of Enervation +4 seems right to me now.

Crown of Focus: Somehow this escaped my attention last time. Great token for those classes.

To be consistent with other recent 'of Focus' items wording would be:

'+1 to healing, damage spells & polymorph damage'

Rather than 'healing/damage'.

It's fine if the wording is changing - just going for consistency if not intended to be a change.

Can Redstone go the way of +1 Thrall Faerie-Iron Skull (Thrown, once per combat)? Even if you have to drop the damage down and remove the AC 15 hit, I think it would be better and more widely used. As it stands, I can't see many people throwing 1/25 of an aragonite away on each slide.

For reference, +1 Thrall Faerie-Iron Skull is a rare, thrown weapon that converts to aragonite with damage wheel of 2, 3, 4, 5.

Lequinian wrote: Dwarves Drinking Glove - I think the intent is for any potion the wearer uses get +2 hp (like Bull Strength), but my initial read is [bold]any[/bold] potion used (eg by another party member) would give wearer +2 hp.

Same question.

Other similar items say things like:

"when you drink"

Prior wording on Ioun Stone Beryl Prism has been:

"Adds +1 to all saving throws"

and

"+1 to saves"

Is Medallion of Keenness intended to work in both Melee and Ranged?

The current wording would work with a ranged sling and a shield.

Necklace of the Sharpshooter is great for the random 10-pack player.

That plus the base character gets +5 to hit and +4 damage at ranged already - Nice!

Does Pendant of the Pure deal damage to ranged/spell attackers who hit Guarding Paladins? Or is this just retribution damage?

Same question with Plate of the Forge.

I think I know the answer, but for an abundance of clarity:

If someone wearing Robe of the Sage and using a Greater Arcane Scroll Tube casts Scroll Holy Fire, the result is:

1 damage to all monsters, a pool of 3 damage distributed how caster desires
1 healing to all players, a pool of 2 healing distributed how caster desires

Right?

(e.g. It doesn't become 4 damage to all monsters and 3 healing to all players.)

Common Dwarven Slingbow - Wizard Usable
Rare Dwarven Slingbow - NOT Wizard Usable?

Wizard has NO uncommon or Rare weapons. For a new Wizard who runs out of spells they have literally NO way to attack this year...

Sling Stone of Smiting:

No other "of smiting" tokens say "natural" when referring to 19-20 crit range.

Although it looks like "natural" has been included on slide/die results with tokens starting in 2018 so maybe this is correct with modern wording.

The'll have access to common:

Dwarven Dart (1/combat), Dwarven Side Sticker, Dwarven Slingbow, Gnomish Cannon (1/room), Goblin Kriss.

And: C, UC, and Rare wand, a C, UC, and Rare damage scroll, a UC Polymorph potion.
