TOPIC: Final 2010 Artwork! Last Chance!

Okay if you are really going to go this route with the bringing back the dead stuff I'll toss out the idea I had that I was going to throw in if you did a design an token contest this year.  My husband and I came up with this idea.<br />All this talk of resurrection...how about reincarnation?  <br /><br />Rod of Reincarnation - usable only by druid – reincarnates one person per dungeon, but come back as random race with different benefits and negatives <br /><br />On D20<br /><br />1 Kobold you cannot attack the first round because you are too afraid<br /><br />2-4 Bugbear can only speak in growling and can no longer cast spells +2 to melee hit and damage<br /><br />5-7 Halfling +1 to AC /-1 to Melee hit and damage<br /><br />8-10 Elf +1 to hit with ranged weapons or spells and AC/ -1 to max HP<br /><br />11-13 Human stay the same<br /><br />14-16 Dwarf +1 to max HP/ -1 to AC and to hit with ranged weapons or spells<br /><br />17-19 Gnome +1 to arcane spell damage/ -1 to melee hit and damage<br /><br />20 Choose your race<br /><br /><br />Jennifer<br />

Ok, modification to my original idea.<br />Censer of Sacrifice.<br />restrictions: cleric must hold in hand and "om" = do nothing other then heal.<br /><br />Effect: All damage done to party this round is redirected to the cleric. The cleric must take all of it and if it kills them they cannot be raised.<br /><br />The cleric "om" to be handled like bard singing.

Otherwise just go with, all attacks to the party have their damage reduced by 2, does not stack with other General damage reducing items. (hoping to imply it would work with resistance items but not with the boots or anything of that ilk)<br /><br />This way it would still help against things like area attacks and spells but couldn't be combined with boots for 5 points of protection.

<br /><br />That sounds like a fun idea, but would you try to fit all that info on the token? 

<br />That sounds like a fun idea, but would you try to fit all that info on the token?  <br />

<br /><br />No.  It would have to say... Rod of Reincarnation (one use per dungeon)  Reincarnates dead character as a random race  (Druid Only)...and then have the random table in the token guide.  I think that gets the point across and most people with purps are going to know what they do exactly.  Each DM would have to have a table for the rolls so no one would have to memorize anything and then make any adjustments to the party card, adding one or two wouldn't be that hard and shouldn't take too long.  Admitedly this couldn't be done in 5 seconds but then if you're that short on time most DM's won't go for healing of any kind anyway.  Also I think since its a reincarnation the character would be restored to full hit points.<br /><br />Jennifer

<br /><br />A perm but slotted item which heals everyone if the cleric is ganked. As for what slot....it should be something which provides a bit of a tradeoff. Normally, this would sound like a neck slot sort of item, but we've got ridiculous numbers of those already. How about a shield? Give it less of a bonus than the other shields out there available to clerics and we've got the balance. Something +2 would probably do it.<br /><br />

<br /><br />This sounds like a good idea, Henwy.  Let's weaken the effect but up the AC -- and make it more usable<br /><br />Shield of Redemption:  +3 AC & if killed may heal alive players +7 hp (No raise allowed)  Cleric & Paladin<br /><br />I will post the artwork soon.  Thanks!

<br /><br />That sounds pretty good.  It won't work for our Cleric since he has the Dragonscale set, but it should be perfect for our Paladin.  <br /><br />I like how you say "MAY" heal - I guess if the Paladin or Cleric had a resurrection token of some kind, they wouldn't want to activate this ability.

<br /><br />What? Not Henwy's Shield of Redemption?  Granted that sounds like an ironic item.

<br /><br />Have a look please!<br /><br /> <br /><br />This would replace the Censer.

Nice touch with the phoenix crest.

That's a nice looking token. I certainly wouldn't mind one of those in my party.<br /><br />My only nitpick is you don't need the + by the 7. Other items that heal, like the Sword of Life Stealing and the Scepter of the Stirge don't have it.

correct - drop the "+" sign in "+7 hp," and make the "R" in "Raise" lower case.<br />
