TOPIC: 2019 Transmuted Token Images!

Harlax wrote: I have +2 right now from a volunteer IS.

But since you ask

IS Amethyst Ovid
IS Tanzanite Cube
IS Charming Cabachon (with 5 charms equipped)
IS Onyx Cube
IS quicksilver Cube
IS Garnet Cube
IS Silver Nugget


One of those will have to go to make room for this years Nugget. Probably the Tanzanite Cube. Eventually Amerhyst Ovid be replaced by the final Nugget once we have put paid to the Mind Slayer.

It’s cool looking but not sure it’s going to be worth transmuting all the ingredients.

Just my 2 cents

Agree. For other data points, there are URs that give +2 saves plus a significant bonus, a UR that gives +3 to saves, and a Relic that does +4 to saves. +3 to saves and free action is probably about right at the Relic level.

+1

For a five star relic requiring 4 years of bits, I’d like to see it a notch better than the +2 save tokens at lower rarities. +3 seemed right to me.

+1

+1 more seems logical

I'll say I was super excited about it at +3.

At +2 I'm like... eeh - I'll still make it and use it. But something about that extra +1...

It is a relic - albeit in a new slot.

If it's too good for the bead slot maybe make it an Ioun?

Saves and free movement are both Ioun effects, and a +3 to saves & free movement seems just about right for an Ioun given UR Ioun Stone Topaz Trilliant is a UR.

No. Just No. I'd rather leave as is than move it to IS.

Agreed, the iounstone slot is already very crowded and only getting more so with the nugget series. The only way I could see the story line relic moving there would be if it also say granted psychic so as to replace a commonly equipped stone.

Actually now that I say it I'm surprised that the relic for the storyline were chased a mindslayer stealing psychic teeth doesn't grant psychic or at least have more of a tenticle theme to the image. The icecrags cold resist & dracolich claw were both way more on theme.

Maybe we could add enables psychic since that power isn't actually that big without the teeth to power it anyway.

You both seem to be betting that your 5th (or 7th) best ioun will be better than your best bead over the long term in thinking of where to slot this.

That’s not a bet I would take.

This token seems to me more likely to stay relevant and/or not hinder future design in the ioun slot.

7th in my case. I'm fine with that bet. I have to make room for two more nuggets. You are telling me that +2 saves is going to bump out +2 Treasure? You first on that one.

What 7 ions are you equipping that are better than +3 to saves and free action????

The current Bead is only +2

Agreed - the proposal was to move it to ioun and back to +3 and free movement.

As it’s a relic, and there are already UR Iouns with +2 to saves and another bonus, and both saves and free movement are well established ioun abilities.


That bein said, what 7 Iouns are you equipping that are better than +2 to saves and free action????

Seven Stones? How about:

Three nuggets (come 2021)
Four UR Vol IS (one of which is +2 saves)
Lots of utility options (Charming, Rare Vol Stones...)

A +2-save IS is arguably already irrelevant for many builds, or is promised to be within two years.

There is no current IS that grants free movement. How is that "well established ioun abilities"?

It needs to stay a bead.

Ioun Stone.

Matthew Hayward wrote: Here are all the slots I can think of that currently grant free movement:

Boots
Torso/shield/head set bonus
Ioun
Pants

That’s it, right?

Ioun Stone.

Let’s explore all the options.

Cancel it altogether and have every relic require Fleece to soak up the bits.

Or leave it a +3 save Bead.

I'm even fine with waiting another year if we have to, as it is though most of my group is saying they'd rather keep their component kilts.

But if you want a poll, try one on bead vs IS. That one is easy to predict.

It needs to stay a bead.
