Human fighter has no identity outside of being "the easy class to play". Slotless is all upside, unless it isn't, thus the HP loss (war injuries).

It becomes an auto include for everyone - I’ll take a 4HP loss to fit another charm.

How about adding “may not equip other slotless items “

Auto-include for everyone playing a Fighter, which I believe was the point.

As written it would be
All classes +1 charm
All classes except Fighter: -4 hp.

This would be beyond UR good.

As written, it's Human Fighter only.

You're misreading the intent

Class is Fighter (not Fighters)
or, Human Fighter (only) may equip this token

I like the idea, though this could potentially be part of a class redesign rather than a token.

That said, the idea that different classes can equip different numbers of tokens feels fun, if not VERY difficult for coaches to remember

Make it like greater mistletoe?

War Medal
Slotless
Fighter
+1 hit w/ melee and Ranged

It’s less powerful than a free charm slot, but still quite good and something every Fighter would equip.

Given the use of the word “Fighters” in class restrictions, if it’s desired to have Fighter have specific tokens, the Fighter (and probably wizard) should be renamed Human Fighter / Human Wizard

I like the concept of "fighters get the best gear."

I would do this as: "+1 charm if only C/UC/R charms are equipped"

Allowing this to equip extra UR+ higher charms makes this a UR+ token.

Another alternative would be to make this an item that is equipped in both offhands to get the extra charm slot.

Necklace of Stabbing
+1 to damage with melee weapons

Already a rare necklace that grants +2 STR and +5 HP. This feels too weak.

Necklace of true aim
+1 to ranged hit

This feels like an uncommon lense effect. Should be stronger in neck.

Necklace of safety
+1 to all saves

2020 had a +1 to AC & +1 to saves UC neck. Make this +3 to AC or +2 to saves or something.

Potion of Fiery Brew
Gain 1 Retribution as fire for 1 room

Potion Icy Blood is 3 cold Retribution at uncommon - should be 3.

Reprint the +2 Str and +2 Dex potions

Those +2 versions are commons. The uncommon are +4.

What about a melee / ranged improvised weapon like a fishing pole? A “club” seems like common though I suppose maybe a reusable ranged weapon might be interesting. Maybe the “ammo” was fishing lures?

Over the next three years the following earcuffs once per year.

+1 FORT & +1 RFLX
+1 RFLX & +1 WILL
+1 WILL & +1 FORT

That’s double the saves over other uncommon ears. Probably better to do darkhold Earcuff style - 1 save + conditional save.

Scroll Boarding Party

Usable by: Bard, Cleric, Druid

Party gets +1 to hit and may each drink 1 potion as a free action

Polly's Cracker (Alchemical Weapon)

Usable by: All

Deals 3 sonic damage to all monsters. (one use)

(Standard action)

Polly's Crackers (consumable)

Cures 5 pts, but you are nauseated for 1 round. (one use)

(Nauseated: unable to attack, cast spells (including bardsong), or anything else requiring attention; victim may move; AC is unaffected)

NOTE: See the anti-nausea earcuff in the common list - idea is to give players a way to discover/recognize token synergies.

Rod of the Elements

1H Ranged Weapon, Druid/Wizards
2 (4?) damage
wheel is Fire-Cold-Sonic-Shock, possibly with a Dud and/or Misfire spot
