TOPIC: 2023 Ultra Rare Token Ideas

Given we are unlikely to ever reprint CoGF, I’ll toss toss idea from last year out again:

charm of ultimate synergy:
+1 Con
-Or-
Gain and provide the multi member bonus of another charm in party.

Would let someone gain and provide the CoGF bonus, or the synergy bonus, or a Phalanx bonus, or a Harlax bonus, or the cabal bonus... as long as someone else had a token to match.

Maybe the GP UR can also be functional in some way so it has an in game value as well. Slotless Mirror of Beauty: 5,000 GP and +1 Charisma. Or something like that. A 10K UR volunteer Token of some sort might also get more people out to help.

If you're making a UR be 5k GP, you'd practically have to give it some extra benefit and/or have it as a Relic ingredient. 5k GP is only worth around $60, well below even the recently low PYPs at auction.

Player's Choice, either:
+1 Bead Slot / -1 Earcuff slot
-OR-
-1 Bead Slot / +1 Earcuff slot

(image on the token looks like a tiny beer mug, (suspiciously like the old mugs) with a hole through the bottom it - either you wear the handle through your ear, or thread through it like a bead!)

No offense but there is no way there is an Ultra Rare. Rare at best, likely a completion token.

It would be the first Earcuff slot expander. Which could lead to other slot expanders. Potentially reads as -1 bead, +2 Charm/IS.

I really like the idea of experimenting with subtypes and if not at the Ultra Level then at the Transmuted level.

It's a great pun either way.

People talking about reprinting the Might set or Assassin's crossbow got me thinking about maybe the Deadshot set could be expand similar to the Might set.

Perhaps:

+2 Deadshot Short Bow
10 9 8 7 7 5
Barbarian, Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue

and

Deadshot Paludamentum
Back Slot
+ 2 Dex
Free Action: Take an extra ranged attack (1/game)


Set Bonuses:
3 piece - +1 Level
4 piece - +1 Level and +2 to Ranged Damage
5 piece - +1 Level and +4 to Ranged Damage

Maybe even these could be released one in 2023 and one in 2024.

Lenses of the Anti-Cabal
Ignore monster DR based on number of LotAC equipped in party:
1-2: ignore 2 DR
3-4: ignore 4 DR
5: ignore 6 DR

Gloves of the Anti-Cabal
Change the elemental damage your attacks deal based on number of GotAC equipped in party:
1-2: add 2 damage and you can set all your damage dealt to Fire or Cold damage
3-4: add 2 damage and you can set all your damage dealt to Fire, Cold, Sonic, or Shock damage
5: add 2 damage and you can set all your damage dealt to Fire, Cold, Sonic, Shock, Acid, or Holy damage

Charm of the Anti-Cabal
1/Round regen HP on successful hit against monster based on number of CotAC equipped in party:
1-2: regen 2
3-4: regen 3
5: regen 4

Set bonus: 10 retribution

I love this. I think this creates a really powerful set of options. With the anti-cabal classes getting the regen, it supports the strength of force the MEC requires. I think this reduction of burden also makes the team synergies work better so there are more options for styles of play. Personally, the Gloves of the Anti-Cabal seems would be a better Bead slot so that it doesn't interfere with the gloves so much but that is being picky.

I also find this allows for the healing classes to play "hitter" more. This makes it really cool in my mind...so to the passive healer, they can focus on the wizards...to the active healer, they are sliding with everyone else...

Bead of Buried Treasure: +2 Treasure Chips

Robe of Vampiric Thorns (all)
-5 AC
20 retribution
1/round heal 5 when successfully attack a monster in melee

While more Retribution is something I can get behind, I'd note that if you make Retribution too good, expect monsters with ranged attacks to be more common which screws Guard.
