Synergistic Taunt or AC?

Harlax's Charm of the Phalanx
AC bonus based on # of HCotP worn in group:
1-5: +2 to AC
6-9: +3 to AC
10: +4 to AC

Shield of retribution, +4 con, 2 points of retribution damage.

Edit, and add 2 charisma

I think SageSTL was going for something that increased value based on number equipped, a la charm of synergy.

However, I personally fully support more retribution damage in the game!

Harlax’s Charm of Retribution - +1 retribution damage per charm in party. +2 if Taunting.

Well, I'd have 10! Now, to convince people to equip them.....

1-5: +2 to AC

Honestly, you might want to make that
1: 2AC
2-5: 3AC
6+: 4AC

Unlikely to often see the middle bonus points otherwise.

Also, if this was made, please print the spear of the phalanx i posted earlier

Greater cloak of the phalanx

+2 saves
+2 AC
Immunity to fear

Building off of the rare cloak of the phalanx.

I based it off of the Earcuff of the Phalanx stats, since that had already gone through the balancing/design process.

(As an alternative name--it could also be "Harlax's Charm," which I like at least as much...)

How about something like Harlax's Legacy Slotless (or legacy slot I guess), double the HP bonus granted by charms of synergy.

I love the name--it could be used for a charm, too, tbh.

That seems like a big bonus. I'd be all for it--but an extra 10 HP might be too much, especially for a slotless item.

I don't disagree that a synergistic token would be appropriate tribute. Just please not that one. The "of the Phalanx" AC boosters are not good tokens. And we just had the Earcuff go out of print.

More like a half-slot, since it requires the other token to be used.

However, the requirement of having the other token also makes it a bad design for pulling out of treasure or ten-packs.

As a random UR it would also be useless to those that don’t have said other UR, one not available except on the secondary market. Maybe just duplicate the effect but in iounstone slot if that is something folks want.

Unfortunately with Sunstone and elfstone shards, that doesn't feel right either.

This form of synergy (based on a lookup table) also adds extra work in the coaching room, and while I certainly didn't know him nearly as well as others, I feel like that might be less than ideal.

Of course the easiest kind of synergy is something not on the party card (e.g. HP), but IMO the second-easiest is probably a straight +1 of something per item.

I'm intrigued by

because there are a relatively small number of other things that grant RD in the first place, so for most of the rows on any given party card the coach will probably just write this number instead of writing zero.

My concern is how many people would choose to spend a charm slot on that effect (it'd be tough for me personally in my builds). Would it be totally crazy to consider this effect at slotless?
