+1

Exalted Transmute targeted at mid-level players:

Rare: -1 Rusty Knife, damage wheel: X, 3, 4, 5 - Barbarian, Bard, Fighters, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue
2 pts of acid damage to self on X

(Yes, that is a -1 to hit)

Transmutes into:

Exalted: +1 Dagger of Disruption, damage wheel: 4, 5, 6, *7* - Barbarian, Bard, Fighters, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue
Damage includes 2 pts of Acid.
On *7* monster gets -2 AC (max -6)
Compound / thrown.

Couple lower level transmutes...

Rare
Cap of regeneration
Regen 1 hp/room

Transmute
Cap of troll health
Use free action to heal 2hp (unlimited uses, only during combat)

Reprint uncommon
Bracers of ricochet

Transmute
Wondrous bracers of ricochet : -2 damage from ranged & when this prevents damage, attacker takes 2 damage.

I like the regen transmute, but maybe it should just be 2 per room? If it went in the ring slot, it could be worn with templar set and ice Craig, for a nice 6 per room.

Edit
Goggles of combined strike: +1 hit and damage for each other person in the party with the goggles. Affects melee, ranged, and spells.

Those goggles...

Right now I’m using Goggles of Instant Analysis. +2 melee to hit, 0 to damage. The party has 4 other players with Combined Strike. Now I’m +4 to hit and damage.

Or the whole party has them. (And that will happen). Now I’m +9 to hit and damage. I’m won’t be missing anything unless I slide off the board or onto a 1.

You’re correct that is over the top, it should maybe be like other synergies that would be too powerful at the relic level synergy. I think that doesn’t actually exist, but assuming goggles of instant analysis as a basis of +2 attack we can change the original suggestion.

Relic Goggles : +1 to hit and damage. +2 to hit and damage with 6 or more In party. Spells, melee, ranged, healing, polymorph

I am fumbling becaise I’d like a reason that 10 might be in a party healing, spells, etc. That said it is just printing a BIS for every class in a slot with only one slot because I want the year of 2020 to have a token that has a joke as part of it. It is a relic, but if everything is added it feels like a legendary. Legendary doesn’t seem like people would make it though. I honestly would want first in a round to attack adds +1 to those that follow, and so on the whole way. This is the most worstest bestest idea I think I’ve written and not erased. It doesn’t work from a GM perspective. It doesn’t work from a party card perspective. This joke about goggles and perspective was not planned. I really want a relic eye slot joke token to be made next year because it is just so perfect.

If you want relic lenses for 2020, try this :

2020 Lenses of perfect vision

+2 to ranged and melee attack. 100% hit chance vs invisible and incorporeal.

Include spells in the "ranged" category, and for sure they will be BiS for awhile

Really? As a primary cleric, I figured it wouldn't replace LoDS, and I figured ranged builds would prefer sniper spectacles. Still, if it would be popular, maybe it would be a really good, but not too good relic eye slot?

Admittedly I did forget about LoDS.

I would probably trade +1 hit at ranged for +2 melee and the other benefits.

I dont think anything like this will see print, bit lenses of perfect vision should be printed in 2020 in some fashion

Wizards and Rangers would like it. Clerics, as you say, not so much.

With the proliferation of UR weapons that can't find a home, why not design an upgraded whetstone?

It could work similarly to Enchanted Whetstone but would apply to rare+ weapons. If we had to cap it at only applying to other UR weapons, so be it.

Part of the recipe would require that you turn in any UR weapon. The idea struck me when reading James & Wade's discussion of shields that they'd mulched. There seems like there are a lot of UR weapons out there that people would be willing to mulch just because UR weapons don't age well. Also- there already seems to be a glut of 2019 Crossbows and F(l)ails.

"Any UR weapon receives +1/+1"
