TOPIC: 2025 Uncommon Tokens

Uncommon

The art work is absolutely amazing !

Heimdall's Pendant: I think it was either last year or the year before that tokens were errata'd to changed AC vs Ranged to instead be Ranged AC, in order to simplify things. This should be reworded to something like "+2 to Melee AC (or +2 to AC if Monk)"

Looks good overall.

These look pretty good. The Rogue boots seem a bit better balanced now, thanks; -2 to Fort saves is still quite a hit but probably about right for an uncommon.

Make the shield part of the Sea Raider set

An Uncommon bard instrument that is part of the Sea Raider set

An offhand horn usable by all classes (possibly the bard instrument as well?)

A Holy Symbol

Is the intent that the Beer Drinker's Bead heal +1 per healing potion and 1 per non-healing potion or only heal 1 when drinking a non-healing potion?

Given the recently announced change limiting trinkets to 1 per adventure, please add a polymorph potion to the 2025 set so that non-UR players will continue to have the option of polymorphing more than once.

Perhaps a Wolf or a Raven?

Sea raider bear armor AC is too high. Nether Stout Armor is AC 5 at rare, so Sea Raider Bear armor should probably be AC 4.

5 AC, +1 CON

There are 12 common armors with AC 4.

Uncommon armors with restricted classes Cleric/Fighter/Paladin:

7 AC, 7 AC +3 ret, 6/9 AC, 6 AC, 7 AC w/ partial DR, 7 AC, 7 AC with partial DR, 7 AC & silence immune, 7/8 AC, 7 AC, 7 AC, 6 AC, 7 AC, 5 AC + STR, 7 AC w/ partial DR, 6 AC, 6 AC +hp, 6 AC, 7 AC (set bonus)

Average Uncommon armor: 6.6 AC with just over 50% chance of a benefit like +1hp, higher circumstantial AC or DR, retribution damage, etc. So fair UC token would be 7 AC or 6 AC with a benefit. CON is a pretty big benefit but maybe not as much as STR.

Rare armors with restricted classes CFP:

7 AC w/ damage immunity, 5 AC + STR, 7/9 AC, 8 AC (set bonus), 7 AC +2 fort, 7 AC +2 ref, 8 AC, 9 ac -1 ref, 7 AC +2 hp, 8 AC, 7 AC +4 Ret, 8 AC -1 ref, 7 AC +1 dmg, 7 AC w/ damage immunity, 7 AC +1 saves, 8 AC, 7 AC +3 ret, 7 AC + heal 4 on teammate death, 7 AC +2hp, 7 AC

Average Rare armor: 7.25 AC with 70% chance of a benefit like +2 or 3 saves, 3 or 4 retribution, 2 conditional AC, conditional immunity, 2 hp, and 10% chance of -1 ref saves. So 8 AC, 9 ac with a negative, or 7 AC with a benefit.

That’s interesting, but I refer you to here:
tokendb.com/token/nether-stout-armor/

Yeah, its low AC is an outlier. Maybe it was considered at the time that the +1 CON made up for 2 or 3 AC.

I'd go for the bear armor being 5 AC +1 CON, or 6 AC +2 Fort saves or +2 hp or something. But 4 AC would be wildly low for CFP armor.
