TOPIC: 2009 Ultra Rare Tokens <Feedback Please

I like the circlet of elemental mastery (I think it's too bad the wizard doesn't need to do a planes check for it), and I like the charm (has there been a reply to my earlier question re: the charm - does it apply to spells requiring a slide?), but I am leaning toward getting the crown for my wizard - an extra +1 to AC and immunity is pretty valuable.<br />

I think I have to agree that the crown outvalues the circlet. I like the idea of the circlet, it's innovative, but for the TD wizard class to develop optimally, we are going to need lots more spells and/or scroll options. I would hate to see that skipped with the reasoning that  we could have used the circlet to change fire to ice or acid.

I do like the word "monster" in the ring of fire since it wont work in TA with that label.  2 points back for every attack would be much too overpowered.

<br /><br />I really don't see the circlet as being a UR as far as its value. It would make a good Rare, and I agree with Dis that it is innovative and could be used in creative ways- but it just doesn't stand up to the other URs. You could have a Ring of Frost (similar to the Ring of Fire) or something else as a replacement and move it to the Rare list this year or another year. (also, aesthetically, the pic for the circlet doesn't do it for me either)<br /><br />As for the charm, I think it is ok with the "20" trigger... it makes people work for the extra tokens. I might also give it a generic +1 on all saves bonus to make it a little more "juicy" and back up the luck aspect.<br />

<br />

<br /><br /><br /> and the boots are a re-make of the elvenkind boots in effect ( I believe)  with a bumed up rarity.. It seems backwards.<br /><br />These are really Boots of the Drow -- as they are Boots of Elvenkind only better because the attacker gets a +2 attack bonus.<br />

<br />I am sorry, but I cannot imagine any Drow willing to wear keebler shoes.  You have no black biker boots with skulls on them for art? Or snakeskin/gatorskin boots?  <br /><br />

<br /><br />I can let him take of pic of the Harley boots I wore when I played a Drow in 2005.

Is there a reason the Paladin shouldn't be able to use the Double Edged Sword?

<br /><br />Part of the intent of this item was to give the Fighter character a unique weapon that no other class can use.<br />

Just my two cents, but I think the fact that the weilder draws the first targeted attack would lend itself to either the Paladin or the Fighter. If an item is class specific, I think there should be a decidedly good reason for that, not just because we feel the fighter needs his own weapon. As a LG character, I could easily see the Paladin "taking one for the team".

I think the desire to have the Fighter have a unique weapon, especially one that does extra damage, was behind this being Fighter only.  I like the decision to make it Fighter-only.

<br /><br />so, just to be clear, you arent saying the paladin should get to use this weapon (because that would defeat the point of trying to create a fighter specific weapon), but just that it needs to feel more 'fighter-only'?<br />...which would be good in theory, any suggestions?  i suggested the vicious sword in another thread (deals extra damage, weilder also takes some damage...i cant see a paladin using that).
