Cloaks

I'm with DZ, the legendary cloak blows Pharacus' out of the water. At a minimum, should only be +4 saves. Even then, I would expect it to be chosen over Pharacus' if someone had to make that choice, where there are people, weirdly, who don't own every legendary.

Then, also agree the art was way cooler on the vampiric cloaks.

So, this probably isn't the place for a long post on death in TD. But, if people aren't being threatened by death in dungeons, then they don't need "anything" that relates to not dying. So, there has to be an assumption that people can and will die in dungeons. And, yet, dealing with death has become rather trivial. Death Die got reprinted, flooding the market as URs are much more common than they once were. Rare rez potions are ... not unusual and cost essentially nothing for a lot of players. Legendary cleric just bops you back to life.

The UR cloak only slightly bothers me, stepping on Butterfly and adding to Ash's Death Pouch and Druegar's Death Die. The relic cloak only somewhat. But, full heal is extremely swingy as Endgame and Impy point out. Sucking down one attack is also likely getting out of control, but that didn't have (quite) the swinginess. Sure, it's a coin flip and planning around a coin flip could be awkward, but it's now possible to do three coin flips. At two coin flips, "know" you are coming back 75% of the time.

Divine Reach Gloves

Do we really need a functional reprint of Blessed Tempest Gloves? Not like those are hard to find. There are various slots with no 4* tokens - IS, head, ears, etc.

Arcanum Ring

I may prefer the other name, but the reality is that I'll just tune out what this is named after it's available, anyway.

So, writing out all of the abilities of the individual rings is a huge pain. But, every component was defensive. It's just boring to keep getting ability bonuses for STR/DEX/CON. It also steps on the toes of Ring of the Champion which is currently interesting.

Given its rarity level, I really don't mind if the token said "Gives all Sacred Circle Rings abilities" and sends you to tokendb.com. Not like Skull of Cavadar tells you what it does for you.

Sorry, but could you explain this more fully? What's the difference you want to see?

Arcanum Ring of the Sacred Circle

Good idea! It barely fits, and it is kinda small, but it is a great idea.

You coutd save a little space using

Arcanum Ring o' Sacred Circle

Phil Norton wrote: I appreciate bringing the Arcanum relics in line with the size of their transmutes. I have the same question on the ring, as for Premium transmutes previously (Only been 2, Rod and Skull), they turned into a non-relic, on par with Legendary, and denoted as "Grand X". As this is taking 5 premium tokens, I thought Ring of the Sacred Circle would be the first Grand Arcanum item, and also allow entrance into Ring Con. So I just want to understand is the intent for the Arcanum set that ALL items within it will be Relics, regardless of coming from UR or Premium transmutes? If so, then yes Arcanum Ring at relic level makes sense.

Phil

Thank you for your detailed question. It is much appreciated. I will make the Ring a Grand Arcanum token (remove the star icon) and boost up the power level. It will also be your ticket to some fun at Ring Con.

Could rearrange the words.

Arcanum Sacred Circle Ring

That cuts out “of the” from the name, and still hits the important parts

Done! Thanks.

How would you indicate that on the token? Rod of Seven Parts and Skull of Cavadar both have serial numbers an no relic star - so just get rid of the relic star?

Sorry, we will number them like with the Skulls.

I guess, unless they want to come up with a different symbol. I guess the reason it is a Relic is that it is problematic to individually number them - perhaps there are just too many of them.

Corey Pressler wrote: The ring of the sacred circle should keep that name, it sounds a lot better.

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.

Thanks!

Wayne Rhodes wrote: Once again, I like the legendary crossbow but would like to see it go to a plus 5, that said at least it can be used my more classes, so it has a lot more flexibility than assassins crossbow in that regard.

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.

Good point....the 6 ability scores. I changed the token.

Thanks, Jeff! It's very cool that they'll be numbered Grand Arcanum tokens now. Thanks for being so open to suggestions!
