TOPIC: 2025 Rare Token Ideas

500 GP Huginn Statuette and 500 GP Muninn Statuette

Scroll Thought: (Bard, Cleric, Druid) Automatically learn the Bard or Rogue hint for the room.
Scroll Memory: (Bard, Cleric, Druid, Rogue, & Wizards) Automatically pass all skill tests this room.
Alternatives suggestions: name as Scroll Huginn's Thought and Scroll Muninn's Memory; swap the two powers around; expand bard/rogue hint effect to allow both Wizards to read scroll; expand bard/rogue hint effect to allow Rangers and Paladins to read scroll; have a minor HP cost to read the scroll.

Ring bearers chain : rare neck slot : wearer gains +1 ring slot

So hand of glory gets downgraded to rare?

Yup, neck is so locked at the UR+ level at this point & hand is so old/scarce, I'm very much ok with giving this power to rare level players.

Berserker Runestone:
+2 strength, -2 AC (1 use, redeem at start)

I'd love to see an equivalent to the Defender set for light armor/ranged characters.(Ranger, Bard, Rogue). Since shields get wonky there, maybe something like:
Armor: +5 AC (like the 2020 reinforced leather)
Head: +1 AC and +1 damage with missiles
Feet: +2 Dex; rogue: sneak attack without delay

Set bonus: Cannot be surprised and +1 hit with missiles (analogues to extra AC and Free Movement on Defender)

Could make the extra item an archers buckler and the overall set very similar to the footman set.

Rogues can't use bucklers.

Bucklers were my original thought, but I changed to Feet after figuring out the Rogue limitation.

So, it's been standard to have 2 different 500 GP tokens in the Rares set, right?

Could we have those 2 tokens be Huginn and Muninn this year, each holding a GemStone? (I'm partial to Sapphire) And the pictures on the tokens are just the exact same pic, but mirror-imaged.

"Huginn's Gem of Thought" and "Munin's Gem of Memory" (both sapphires) would be kinda cool.
Or something like "Huginn's Sapphire" and "Muninn's Ruby" with the same pic, but different gem colors (because I know the Rares tend to feature more Red stones & red-coloured items)

Or 2 Jeweled Ravens, one with a Sapphire for its eye, and a mirror-imaged one with a Ruby for its eye.

Thanks!

Bead of the Fleet Footed

+3 to Reflex saves

This completes the +3 individual save cycle (Chugging and Resolve)

I really like the Snake Priest set -- would love to see another similar set, might be too soon to do another but i would rotate the saves around like...

Fur-lined Raider Helm (head) - +3 Fortitude (alternate name Fur-lined Horned Helm)
Raider Tunic (shirt) - +3 Reflex
Raider Pantaloons (leg) - +3 Will

Maybe change around one slot like instead of Pants do Back or Gloves??

Then do some kind of 3 piece set bonus.

A slightly different idea..instead of +3 individual saves, have +2 to one save, +1 to another.

Like +2 Reflex, +1 Fortitude
or +2 Will, + 1 Reflex

I definitely think we need rare pants in the set, as leg continues to be under represented in rare numbers.
