On the one hand, it now stacks with other neck items. On the other hand, it's way beyond the power of other UR boots; it's Mithral Boots + higher Con Boots of Might combined.

I understand people didn't want multiple stat boosting neck slot items now that the Stupendous reprint is in the set. But this seems to have taken a pretty straightforward addition and made it controversial.

Agree that it’s too powerful. Most classes were staying that the class specific necks needed to be more powerful than stus or Valhalla. Now a token is made almost as powerful but in the boots slot. I know BotFW exist but if you weren’t around during that this seems like an easy BiS for most classes

That’s a sweet throwing dagger!

I know a ThievesGuild Master who is gonna want one of those!!

It's a great item

Is it as good as/better than/worse than the short sword?

Seems like it might be a slightly smaller damage wheel but granting ranged sneak automatically is pretty cool?

*So glad to see the Rogues get a Nightshade print this year!*

I don’t know about too powerful. We know rare completion token boots are “worth” 2 con. In the neck slot we go from a +2 Damage completion token or a 2str and 3hp rare to valhalla... seems to be par for the course.

I'm really happy with pretty much all of this. Love the switch to the Charm of Power and Magebook charm. My only real input is that the boots seem a bit overpowered. I'm not going to complain about that though, I'm just going to buy them if they make it to release.

I agree, these Boots should be scaled to the power level of other UR Boots, not UR Neck slot items.

Love the exploration in design space going on with +4 Rod of the Meek and Axe of the Dwarvish Kings!

Is "Charm of Power"

Cast as a scroll?

Overall its a very nice set of tokens...

but, as a Monk there is basically nothing for me. The only Monk items are reprints or functional reprints that I already own. Sure I'll get a Nugget and probably a Sunstone for the Transmute, but other than that I have nothing to buy.

There are 7 reprints or functional reprints. Could we drop the reprint of Stu's to add something new?

It is not! ^_^

+2/+2 - Boots of Fast Fitness?

+2/+3 - Boots of Faster Fitness?

+3/+2 - Boots of Fast Hardiness? Vigor?

Cranston's Helpful Hat:

Honestly, this seems too much. +3 range damage an nothing else already seems like quite a powerful UR head slot.

Compare with: +1/+1 to melee from Crown of Might and Helm of Retribution.

For goodness sake - it's got the damage bonus of UR Boots of the West Wind AND it lets you equip a 2nd eye, which for Ranged builds is your choice of: +3 to hit, +3 DEX and no 50% miss chance vs. Incorporeal, or even at uncommon another +1 to damage!

But - on the plus side, it gives me a chance to ask you:

Is Magic Missile or Sonic Dart a ranged attack? (I am genuinely confused about this.)
