TOPIC: Ultra Rare Token Ideas

Current precedence in the neck is +3 stat +4 stat (3 str 4 con, etc) but Focus counts for nearly double of another boost like STR or DEX so it makes sense to do 3 Focus and +2 of a secondary stat instead of +4

That is a good suggestion, as +4 didn’t really feel right, but neither did +3.

Yep. +4 Focus would be extreme for an UR necklace.

Doing +3/+2 is essentially valuing 3 focus as 5 main stat which feels like a good spot for the ability and keeps it mostly in line with the +3/+4 at a total stat value of 7

+2 Captain's Hook- as a +2 Brawler's Horn except +3 to hit in off hand melee.

Cape of the Sidekick - +1 to saves, another willing party member gets +2 to saves

Mask of the sidekick - +1 Ranged to hit, another willing party member gets +2 ranged to hit

Gloves of the sidekick - +2 STR, another willing party member gets +2 STR

Utility Belt of the Sidekick - You may grant beneficial effects of potions you consume to another willing party member, you may drink a potion as a free action

Tights of the sidekick: +1 CON, Another willing party member gets +2 CON

Boots of the sidekick: +1 DEX, another willing party member gets +2 DEX

3 piece Sidekick set bonus: you may forego your standard action to give another willing player an additional standard action 1/game

5 piece sidekick set bonus: choose another willing player at the start off the adventure, they can not die while you are alive, whenever they take damage you take 1/2 as much yourself.

Interesting concept, but doesn't fit thematically this year. The 5 piece bonus doesn't really seem like a bonus.

Yeah there is no way these would all get printed one year - just a design idea I wanted to throw into the mix.

I think the “can’t die” element might be better than expected - there are plenty of things that kill your outright in room 7 without doing damage - with this set bonus that person would be immune as long as their sidekick was around.

Which also means that if your team coordinates effectively you all survive at the cost of only 50 URs as long as you chain correctly.

DM: Person 1 dies!
Us: no they don't they can't die until person 2 dies
DM: Person 2 dies!
Us: nope. can't die until person 3
DM: Person 3...
Us: keep dreaming. gotta kill person 4 first
...
DM: Person 10?
Us: guess what? They're protected by person 1

Yeah, unfortunately you'd have to use different wording than "can't die"

+2 Sling of Focus

Agreed - the "can't die" seems insanely powerful honestly. I would love for this to be printed. Do you play PoE at all? "Allies can't die" is about the most annoying mod ever, and what I thought of when reading your idea.

This type of token seems VERY fun to me. And what DM doesn't want to announce "YOU MISSED, TAKE 13!!"?!?!?!

Hmm, might be better as Death Knight Demonblade?
