As for the cloaks I personally will not be making them but they are interesting and don’t seem unbalanced.

Charm of the Accursed seems very strong for a charm.

Arcanum Ring - +2 to all attributes?
Are we saying the 6 prime stats, or are we saying +2 focus, +2 saves, +2 to 6 main stats, +2 hp, +2 AC, +2 range and melee to hit and damage.
I am not trying to be difficult, I am generally not sure.


There are 6 ability scores. Focus is not one of them as I understand it. So a +2 to all ability scores would affect just strength, dexterity, constitution, wisdom, intelligence, and Charisma

Also, I think instead of +2 attributes it should say +2 all abillity scores. This would keep it in line with the Bead of Asgard, which allows +4 to one ability. That way, the wording is the same.


Good catch - and I just checked the Coaches Guide, DM Guide, and Player Handbook and they all refer to STR, DEX, etc. as "Ability scores" so that's the right term.

Jeff, can you give us any info on the abilities of the Ring of the 1st Circle? That will help us recommend what the Arcanum Ring's powers should be. I think it needs to be more than just +2 to all Ability scores, that results in less than the UR Rings in several areas like AC, Saves and DR.

Thanks for the updates! Looking good!

Arcanum Greaves
Thanks for the bump to +2, which was feeling very lackluster. I would swap the text to say "3 Damage Resistance except to Eldritch and Push damage" so it applies to non-Eldritch traps and effects, and in that way is not inferior to lesser Greaves (or other items) that might provide protection.

Arcanum Ring
This is now an exciting item. I think you mean "+2 to all Ability Scores".

Mark of Enlightenment
Two suggestions - and this coming from someone without a dog in the hunt as I am not mid-journey to a $5000 (or $32000) investment to craft this token.
1. I would make the power granted by the token very cool. Don't dog it. People who invested in the time and money in this token are devotee.
2. You asked "How do you lend out a tattoo?" I don't think you do, but I think you should be able to transfer it in a magical ritual that has some costs.

To this end, I recommend creating a transmute recipe called "Transfer Mark" that allows you to transfer the Mark and Soulforge it to a new owner. Consider it an arcane ritual. The ingredients include the old Mark of Enlightenent and Transfer Mark ingredients (which I would not make overly onerous), and in return TD would issue a new Soulforged Mark with the new owners name.

This prevents frivolous lending of the Mark, preserves the integrity of the "soulforged" concept, but also protects the investment of the owner of the Mark. Also, I strongly endorse the idea of generational transfer of token collections. My young son is already asking me when he can play, and if I were to own such a Mark I would want to pass it down.

Incense - I will reiterate that I would alter the artwork between these tokens much more significantly (e.g. incense sticks, incense brazier, pile of incense, incense candles, go for it). I do like the Censer a lot.

I do rather like the new completion tokens, including the names, designs, and powers. Nice.

In terms of the crossbows: I am assuming the Very Lethal Crossbow is the progeny of the +2 Darkbane Crossbow, which does 2X base damage vs. Undead and Were Monstsers, and that either this or the Assassins Crossbow is an ingredient? If so...
1. I really like that the Darkbane Crossbow is usable by all classes.
2. I would rename the +3 relic a +3 Darkbane Crossbow and change the wording to "+3 damage vs. Undead & Were-monsters. 3X damage to all attacks on Crit."
3. For the +4 Legendary, I would preserve the above, and add 19-20 Crit.

I don't min/max crits so admittedly that might be overly tuned, but 3X crit multiplier on just the 1st slide when you need to roll or slide the crit seems weak for relic.

The difference in the wording of DR between the Greaves and every other existing DR token, still needs to be addressed, I think. It serves for potential confusion down the road.

I agree with the wording "3 DR except to Eldritch and Push damage" for the Greaves. The UR Greaves of Absorption which is an ingredient to this does prevent most non-Eldritch trap damage. It doesn't seem appropriate for the UR ingredient to have a wider range of effect than the Arcanum transmute.

I don't think it's really accurate for anyone to say they spent $32K to get the Marks. That was for four complete $8K orders which had a TON of stuff in them than just the Marks.

I have to agree the Incense tokens artwork could be shown some love. Kind of blah.

The final transmute shouldn’t just be a collection of all of the components - the set bonus must be factored in, as well as the fact 5 items are consolidated into a single slot
