TOPIC: Latest on Token Details

Re: Latest on Token Details 15 years 7 months ago #37

<br />But I agree with H - there should be some impact when a 20 is rolled...<br /><br />How about the player takes normal damage - but they are stunned and miss one round of action?<br />

<br />For what it is worth, 4th Edition made criticals do max weapon damage, instead of 2X or 3X.  (i.e. longsword does 8 hp, rather than 2X d8) Seems like that could work here, without causing instant kills.

Ummm. There is no randomness to monster damage.

<br />Jeff,<br /><br />Since you said that there were changes (meaning multiple?) to the tokens.  How about updating the first page of each type (so that we can look at them in context)?<br /><br />Thanks<br />

<br /><br />I would, but stuff will even change as we are laying out the tokens because of text limits, not being able to find a good graphic and my ever-changing whims.  I think the best thing is just to wait and see the artwork.<br /><br />I do remember one other change.  The Boots of Speed have been replaced by the Boots of the Underdark (Rogues only).   =D<br />

<br /><br />Ouch!  There goes a PURP for me!

<br />Has anyone said anything about golden tickets for this upcoming year? or silver tickets? I know that the token planning process is supposedly moving much faster then in years previous so I didn't know if this was discussed at all. <br />

<br /><br />Nothing is final till the tokens go on sale but, Jeff has said he intends to sell golden tickets again this year.  So someone can buy tokens for the dinner at True Realm and have a chance at a golden ticket at the same time.

<br /><br />Well not really - Monster damage is a static number for a certain attack type...the DM does not roll a damage die.

That is quite interesting.  I have never been fortunate to see a monster roll a 20 on an attack.  I do think that there should be some sort of critical to show the mayhem involved in battle.

Here I thought we would have moved past all that, otherwise I would have suggested a Drow Hand Crossbow.

<br /> (For example, the Mithral Shield is now a helm).<br />

<br /><br />This makes me a very happy buyer, and will make the ranger on our team very happy as well.  So a heartfelt thank you.

<br /><br />Did Jeff say the Ranger could use the Mithral Helm?  They haven't been able to use Helms so far.

<br /><br />No - I meant I was the winner for designing the token - Free PURP!  Now it's gone - no free PURP.  I think I know how Charlie Brown felt with that football...  =)<br /><br />Same here. One less PyP order.<br />
