TOPIC: 2008 Tokens -- PLEASE PROOF!

I think we are starting outside a cave leading into a monastery.<br />

I agree with a post by dk2007 - the Minotaur armor seems a bit weak for a UR. Perhaps both the +6AC and -1 to dmg taken for a more unique flavor. It might even sway a fighter or cleric to wear it though better AC armor is available.

<br />

<br />I killled the Rumors this year to make things better during Coaching.  I am working on an idea for these Rumors to be available in the Tavern for a few GP.  Should be fun.<br />

<br /><br />Just remember if you do that, players would have to be able to get into the tavern prior to their run....<br />

<br /><br />Good point Dave.  Something we should do anyway I think.<br />[/quote]<br /><br />I fully support allowing player to enter the tavern before their run. They can buy or trade for tokens from the traders.

Regarding the Potion of Heroism...what if we made it a Medallion of Heroism that would act just like the Potion, except like the Wish Ring it would have a +2 to AC after 2008.  It would have a space for it to be checked off like the Wish Ring, and then returned to the collector after it was turned in for the 4th level character sheet.<br /><br />BTW, we can talk about my seperate non-token Rumor idea in a later post.  Stay tuned.

Besides some typographical fixes, here are some things we are doing based on your feedback.<br /><br />Changes so far from your excellent feedback -- images to follow on Friday.  Please let me know what you think on these items before we do the re-edits on Friday morning.  Thank you!<br /><br /><br />1) Add classes to warhammer:  Barbarian, Cleric, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger  and it needs one black and one white hand<br /><br />2) add this to the end of the Salve of Stonevein:  “for 1 room”<br /><br /> 3) On Hourglass of Imprisonment add: “& then destroyed”<br /><br />4)  Change name of Orcish Broadsword and +1 Orchish Broadsword to “Orcish Sickle (+1)” and use old cool images.  I love them too much, too!<br /><br />6) Monks Mead and Orcish Double Stout will have Potion on them like 2007's dwarven drinks.  May have to change it to Orcish Stout to fit.<br /><br />8) Change damage on Great Club, GC +1, GC +2   to:  1-2-2-3-3-8-8-9-9-10 but add one or two to the magical versions.<br /><br />9) Cloak of Curses:  Change it from “blinded” to "-2 to hit"<br /><br />10) Change Boots of Springing to "Boots of the Cat" and take out the words “and magical” so it applies to mechanical traps only.<br /><br />11) Salve of the Shadowvein:  Change text to:  Immunity to undead special attack powers for 1 room<br /><br />12) Make the Gold Blessing Rod more golden<br /><br />13) Wand of Life Stealing change to:   "DC-12 Fort save or target takes 6 pts of damage and Wizard healed 6 pts"<br /><br />14)  Change all “Bloodstone” jewelry to “Blood Opal”  Orcs call it that.  Go figure.<br /><br />Disregard missing numbers.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

<br /><br />The Wish Ring gives +2 to AC after 2008? 

I still say no to the Druid wearing a helm, no matter they type...is the triple play of all three pieces of Dragon Scale going to have a special perk - my guess is yes and it will be written up in the guide??<br /><br />I like the exclusiveness thrown on the Tower Shields, and the mace - thanks for taking the mace under advisement Jeff!  Same for the Life Stealer!<br /><br />Pictures on items are great!<br /><br />Pot of Hero - there had better be some awesome perks - like +3 to all saves, +8 HP, and something like a 4th Level PURP token marker to prove you leveled up!  (hehehe)<br /><br />I don't see the Hourglass ever being used IF it is a burner...which I totally assume it is.<br /><br />Sorry that is all I have time for...off to Disneyland for 2.5 fun days pretending to be a tourist!

<br /><br />Did you mean to say that the Wish Ring would have a +2 AC?  Cool.  Figure you might have meant the Lord and Lady Medallion...perhaps both.<br /><br />Yes; that seems like a nice tweak to the Heroism - making it a Medallion that would have a +2 AC after it's initial use.<br />

Yeah the Potion of Heroism is tricky... might as well replace it with:<br /><br />Nightshade's Mask (helm slot)<br />If the player misses their sneak attack, it allows a 2nd attempt the next round.<br />Rogues only<br /><br />Alternate form: Nighshade's Hood<br /><br /> :cool: :cool:

holy symbol of Pelor:  could simplify wording from "+2 to damage while turning" to "+2 to turning damage."<br /><br />Scroll Bane:  I like the name.  For me, however, I would think it would envelope one PC.  Since the intent is to have the monster be at a -2 to hit against everyone for the duration of the combat, how about something less catchy but more percise:  Hinderance (sp).  I like Bane better; just trying to make the imagry fit when you hear the name of the scroll - to match the name to the effect.<br /><br /><br /><br />Broadswords<br />

---

<br />I was initially thinking of Human broadswords and what I picture them to be.<br />I am forgetting that these are Orcish swords.<br />Do with them what makes you feel good.  <br />The new pics look more like human broadswords, so I'd be tempted to say go back to the previous pictures if you want the swords to remain Orcish.<br />If you want it to be a "sword" as oppposed to a sickle, then use sword.  <br />Those initial pictures remind me of an oversized human sickle, but perhaps that's what an Orcish broadsword looks like.<br />P.S.  I like the new "human" broadsword pictures.<br />If you're going to keep the "sickle" picture for the UR "broadsword," and the word "broadsword," I'd suggest trying to squeeze in "orcish" or something.<br /><br /><br />UR +2 Longsword.  Is that a slight color discrepancy I see at the far end (tip) of the longsword?  It looks as if the highlighting is not the same.<br /><br /><br />Clubs:  I think the downgrading of the damage on the clubs is probably good (not as much creep), although owning one the way it was originally would have been sweet.<br /><br /><br />Hourglass - Unless we're talking using this against the self-proclaimed god Iuz, I don't see it being used or appreciated as much.<br /><br /><br />UR +2 Composite Longbow:  Is that the original damage or did it get tweaked down?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I like Indy's suggestion for a hood.

<br /><br />The Wish Ring gives +2 to AC after 2008?  <br />

<br /><br />No...sorry.  The Wish Ring turns into a 1000 GP ring after being used -- so it gets another purpose and the player gets to keep it.<br /><br />So, the Heroism item would have another purpose after being used -- a +2 Amulet of Defense.  There would be one little circle on it to check off to make it so.  Feedback?

I like the fallback to a +2 Amulet of Defense (Medallion of Heroism).<br />That's a nice bump and gives players a choice in UR amulets.<br />
