TOPIC: 2023 Ultra Rare Token Ideas

Matthew Hayward wrote: Megalodon Charm

Bonus to melee damage based on number of unique Teeth of Cavadar you have:
1-3: +2
4-5: +4
6-7: +5

Note: A Skull of Cavadar does not count as any number of unique Teeth of Cavadar for the purposes of this token.

A. That feels more powerful than any of the other Tooth-related URs have been.

B. Some may even consider it stronger than the Skull. Which would lead to complaints of "if I'd only known I wouldn't have bothered transmuting".

C. The Teeth will be completely OOP when this comes out. Meaning anyone pulling it as a 00 has to turn to secondary market for any use.

D. Doing this now "sets precedence" for people suggesting more Tooth-related tokens later on. When B and C will be even more the case.

My $0.02: Teeth are done. Time to move on. The time for any Tooth-related token designs lives in the past. We should not be devoting token design space to them. Shut the door on that.

But. I realize that may only be my opinion.

You're right, it would be better as:

+2 to melee damage
Additional +2 if you have 1-5 teeth, +3 if you have 6 or 7

Necklace of the Zephyr:

May cast a spell as a free action (1/room)

Usable by: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Wizard

Note: Spell is cast as a spell.

Ring of Haste:

Perform a standard action as a free action (1/game)
Perform a free action as an instant action (1/game)

I quite like this idea!!

Captain's Bell
Melee Off Hand
+1 to AC, +1 melee to hit, +1 melee damage, +1 initiative
NOTE: Must be equipped entire adventure.

I really like this, but I see it more as a completion token, perhaps having to be equipped in both melee and ranged off hand?

It's a better orb of might by a large degree, so its definitely UR territory. Even just +1 AC and +1 initiative would probably be UR territory since there are so few initiative boosting items and init is huge for winning combats with minimal damage in return.

Cast a Level 0-2 healing or damage spell without crossing it off your card (1/room)
Wizard: May also cast Level 3 damage spells in this way.

Usable By: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Ranger, Wizard

Why have separate levels for different classes? Purely to prevent casting 7 cure serious wounds? If so, I'd say just restrict it to damage spells.

Haste effect seems like a fun idea!

+2 Scepter of the Sear Turtle
1-handed melee weapon: 3, 4, 5, 6
+1 to AC
Druid and Wizard: +3 to AC while Polymorphed and may Polymorph to a Sea-Turtle as an instant action 1/game
Usable by: All

Really like the idea of being able to diversify your polymorph build with items like this. It means that focus items aren’t the default best thing for poly Druid.

Just trying not to stomp too hard on the Conserve mage power while opening it up to other classes.
