Gloves of Thor - Usable by All - Hand slot

One Handed Hammers gain the "thrown" and "returning" properties

Goggle Slot Odin’s Eye Patch (ALL) – Removes 50% miss penalty of incorporeal monsters.

I like this idea, I think we could bump it slighty though.
If we look at Greater Gloves of Archery and Ring of the Drake, we can see that we're a little under powered in my opinion. While hammers have a better damage wheel than Shurikens, Gloves are typically a much more powerful slot than rings.

Instead how about:
Gloves of Thor
+2 Shock Damage to Hammers
Hammers gain the "returning" effect

Horn of Valhalla - spirit warriors appear urging the party to greater glory. Once per dungeon allows reslide/reroll of any attack rolls for the party for 1 round. Free action to use.

Seems pretty strong when each player has one.

Fair point - perhaps add “multiple copies cannot be used in the same room.”

An Ioun stone that gives +2 to AC and some other small benefit (-1 damage from ranged attacks?)

Everstone : UR Runestone: +1 melee or Ranged damage. Not turned in on use.

FOP Mantis : Casts prayer as the cleric spell 1/game

In my humble (sort of 😁) opinion, Bead of Bounty, Bead of the Lucky Traveler, and Boaz bead are mandatory. This leaves no room for either Stalker bead or Bead of the Champion, let alone any future hinted at treasure enhancement beads.

I agree that a Bead Expander is needed, but would ask that it absolutely conflict with Luna's. I love slot expanders, but we need to get to the point were we pick which type and stop just using more tokens.

Trinket of Frost Giant Form

Once per game, as an Instant Action, the owner may polymorph into a frost giant. The frost giant form would be similar to the Ice Elemental from from Iktomi's (modified to a UR power level).

Looking at the discussion on +2 Assassin Crossbow, I wonder if we could explore some build diversity in the UR space.

What about an UR (Charm?) which gives +5 Sneak Attack Damage on a successful Sneak Attack

This would be appealing to Newer Rogues who want their Sneak Attack to pack more punch, and very appealing to Rogues who go the Nightshade route, as it could double on a Crit. Slightly less appealing to the Assassin Crowsbow crowd, as that SA damage doesn't double or triple on a crit.

Possible downside: It might be a pain for DMs, as there's no place to record extra Sneak Attack damage.


Another possibility:

A Charm(?) which allows Sneak Attacks to Crit on 19-20. (Unlike the necklace, no second Sneak Attack option, no "avoids 1 round delay to set up sneak attack")

Not much interest there for the Relic- or Legendary-Necklace users, but GREAT for newer Rogues.

DMs already have to double-check with Rogues about their Sneak Attack crit range (due to the necklaces) so this wouldn't add any overhead.

Personally, as a Relic-Necklace user, I'd *love* to see something which opened the Sneak Attack Crit range to 18-20, but I feel that power level might be out of the UR range, and I don't see any interest in a transmute progression while the Rogue Necklaces exist.
Possibly a Bead option, which gave a 18-20 Crit range, but ONLY FOR MELEE SNEAK ATTACKS, that way it doesn't step on the toes of the Necklaces, and doesn't synergize with the Assassin's Crossbow.

You may equip up to two neck slot items.
You may not equip more than 3 charms.
You may not equip more than 5 Ioun Stones.

I love this idea...totems are slotless, correct?
For top end builds, you have to choose between your extra ioun stones and charms VS re-equipping the slots that would give those extras AND a second neck slot.
And for those of us who don't use all the slot expanders, it is a free neck slot to lure us into the slot expanders game.
