TOPIC: 2026 Ultra Rare Token Ideas

I'm going to weigh in on the polymorph token. I think we should have two polymorph items this year, one rare and the other ultra rare. For the ultra rare, Pelt of the Wolf. Back or waist slot, useable by all, no limit on uses, -4 to Will saves(or some other penalty), no spell casting or powers for room(supersceding effects that would allow it). It would need to have a fairly beefy damage wheel with those penalties. I figured this would both fit the theme and give players the vibe of "Oh, no! We've been turned into rampaging werewolves!" Also a good token for theme or challenge runs.
Posting the rare in its respective thread.

Trinket of Black Cat: Detect Undead when used. No 50% miss chance Vs. Undead. Immune to Undead touch effects.

Extend the ranged oriented, levels 5 Deadshot set:

Deadshot Bracers: +2 to hit and damage with ranged attacks

Reprint of Belt of the Deadshot

Add to deadshot set bonus:

4 items: +1 ranged damage

Reprint the Deadshot Gloves and Goggles in 2027.

Perhaps a straight up UR that is just a 10k bar of gold or something like that to help out with the crazy high gold price on the coin.

Maybe and a bead necklace or some other expander that isn’t the wrist slot.

I picked up the legendary charm bracelet a few years ago and am not abandoning
it but like to see an expander is a different slot. Otherwise the beads are going to keep getting harder and harder to justify buying.

+2 “Biting” Hand Crossbow, add DEX to damage, 3X crit multiplier on Vampires.

+2 Morningstar of the Dawn, same damage wheel as +2 Death Flail. +3 additional damage to Undead. Cleric may turn undead 2/room.

Charm of Haste: May make two attacks in a round once per combat.

Ioun stone of distraction: Monsters may only attack you even with area of effects.

Bead of Distortion: You may minus 10 to your AC for a room. If you do, you may add 10 to one saving throw of your choice for that room

Goggles of strategy: +1 hit and damage and You may choose to skip your first attack. If you do, if your next attack hits, it is automatically a critical hit.

It would be great to have a $5,000 GP UR of some sort. I saw someone already posted about a 10K Bar but I think that is too much for a UR. A 5,000 GP UR should hold its value fairly well compared to lots of UR's now that wind up well under $50.

The 2007 UR 1,000 GP Sapphire Necklace is still one of my all time favorite Tokens.

Not sure if that would dump too much gold into the market but having a really cool 5,000 GP UR Token once every 5 or 10 years would be awesome!

I realize I'm late to the party here, but just wanted to put in a plug for tokens that grant interesting abilities or create additional theme opportunities/alternative builds for players or require players to make trade-offs in their build plan. An example would be a wizard staff with a strong damage wheel (Muscle Wizard anyone?), or a melee damage booster that requires a minimum amount of Wisdom, or something that grants a larger benefit but also grants -1 to all saves.

When there is only one way to build a class, it forces the community into a constant min-max comparison, ie "That token doesn't give as many stats as this token so I won't buy it"

Alternative build design space is highly unexplored in this game. Because of this, it's only natural that we see unending feedback that typically falls into one of these categories:

"my numbers go up, this is great!" OR "this token doesn't give as many stats as this existing token so I won't buy it" OR "this is dangerous power creep, please reduce X"

I thoroughly enjoy that I've been able to build my Ranger in a way that gives me a sub-theme of free action healing potions for myself and others, however this has mostly occurred through slotless tokens so there's almost no tradeoff consideration that I have to think about at NM+ level. However, if, for example, there were a token that granted +2 damage for the dungeon every time I consumed a healing potion in combat, then I would get to weigh the opportunity cost against the token it would replace as well as the commitment to using consumables (Just an example, yes I realize this is difficult to implement with in-person TD, no need to come after me in the comments here). Just food for thought and an effort to create more sustainability in the token design process.

Maybe instead of being a UR, special GP tokens could be transmutable for GP for one year only. Like, for 10,000 GP (maybe with added trade item tokens, or maybe just the 10,000 GP) you can get a 10,000 GP Diamond Necklace token with the 2025 date on the back. Maybe every year could have one or two special GP denomination transmuted Jewelry tokens. I'd be very tempted to transmute my extra GP into a special Jewelry token.

Players wouldn't be out much since (in this example) the Diamond Necklace token is still a 10,000 GP token, but it would also take some GP out of circulation since some collectors would likely hold onto theirs instead of cashing them in later.

That's a great idea Mike. We all LOVE treasure so anything like that would be super cool. I'd say the recipe should be equal in GP's and additional TG's and maybe Fleece. Would be another way for people to spend their TG's/Fleece. I'd make a fair amount of them.
