Flik wrote: Wow I love all of the changes.

Can we attack each round with the throwing dagger or do you have to throw it and pick it up?

Cleric UR changing to charm is much better for people not upgrading! Wow.

Thrown weapons (I think!) can only be used once per combat.

Crud. Sorry!

It is just like the +2 Nightshade's Short Sword -- only it can be thrown (using DEX to hit and STR for damage) or used in melee fashion (STR for both). The thrown mode eliminates the need to spend one round maneuver to Sneak Attack, but then you will lose the use of the Dagger for the rest of the combat.

Does that mean the dagger also grants the ability to Sneak Attack while using it as a ranged weapon?

It reads clearly to me as Polymorph Potions only. So none of the effects would go on the party card.

That’s the way I’m reading it as well, I was just wondering if it was an oversite since I don’t think many people use poly potions anymore.

I think it's important that URs provide options for new players. This would be a great option for a rookie polymorph player that missed the class relic.

But if it was just straight up poly damage he would get it if he used a poly potion as well.

Cranston's does damage instead of to hit.

A new Nightshade's this year too..

That "or" is now changed to a "&"

It should also work for people with the Legendary that choose to use a potion.

We went from Charm of the Brewmaster to Charm of Fasting.

Charm of the Brewmaster was among my favorite. I feel your pain.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Medallion of Sweetwoods going from Neck to Feet and losing a point of Con.

On the one hand, it now stacks with other neck items. On the other hand, it's way beyond the power of other UR boots; it's Mithral Boots + higher Con Boots of Might combined.

I understand people didn't want multiple stat boosting neck slot items now that the Stupendous reprint is in the set. But this seems to have taken a pretty straightforward addition and made it controversial.

Were Bards left off the Charm of Power intentionally? Feels a little odd given that they're the only missing primary caster class.

If it does, I want it even more.

Most people didn't like it in its previous iteration, but requiring a whole action and setting your life to 10 means you likely won't be using this in the first combat anymore. Since it takes up a standard action, it'd be nice if a player could trigger this once in each combat.

Agreed. This went from 10 damage to 60 damage for me. If 10 was too low, then 15-20 would work and still be healable. Otherwise I would just rather attack, or if this was a free action then maybe attack and use as a boost for the boss battle.

I liked its flavor but not its effect. Can it be toned done to a rare?
