1/game doesn't seem good enough to slot in.

How many times are you planing to die lol.

idk... I would like it more than 1/game too but as my primary class is Paladin, I pride myself in not dying... except when I saved one of our players who was there 1st run and too the sword knowing it was wrong and was disintegrated

Maybe in the future Volunteer tokens might be reprints of existing UR (or even Relic) tokens. That might cause some demand for them. Can you imagine if one of the Volunteer tokens were Gloves of the Flying Fist? They would have a line of people wanting them. They could still be reprinting in the main set in a later year.

that is actually a good idea.. +2 Assassin Cross Bow, Greater Holy Symbol of Pelor ( even with the new one I think this would still be desired )

I am kinda sad that the Death Knight Shirt was nixed but 100% agree that the change will deff bring more desire than the shirt.

Yep, the more I think about it the more I like it. Change the two Volunteer tokens this year to Gloves of the Flying Fist and +2 Assassin's Crossbow and you'll have either people volunteering to get them or volunteers having lots of people to buy them.

What if the Volunteer UR was their choice of any UR from TD History?

Assassins crossbow might not be the best choice given statements on the other threads. In principle I like the idea though.

Consider upping the damage on the yellow sunstone for 2 handed melee to +3.

I’m both happy and sad to see the class limits on the awesome defender greaves lol. Probably for the best, but now I only need 4 instead of 10

I’m ecstatic on the greaves design especially with limiting classes. It helps that fighter is one, but even so adding to the defender set and turning a damage reducing slot in to an additive slot is great. Plus this can be used by the rare player.

+2 melee damage.
if slain, can make melee attacks...

At, umm, worst(?) you don’t die and it duplicates the enhanced charm of the fire newt. Best case (i think?) You die in a room prior to 7, keep attacking, and then get raised in the next room.

I like either of these two options.
