Special Items

[Scaredgirl]

WoE will have special items that characters can use. They can give some kind of buffs, help you move around the map etc.

One important thing about these special items is that they should be different from Elements cards, otherwise it will get confusing. This means that for example swords and shields are probably a bad idea because Elements already has those. Best items are probably things like potions, rings, etc.

I will slowly add more stuff to the list.

We have 3 item levels. Level 1 items can be bought at a merchant. Level 2 items can be crafted, or bought at a merchant with a higher price. Level 3 items can only be obtained as quest rewards.


Post ideas. Thank you.

	Name	Level	Ability	Special	Cost
	Stone of Return	3	Instantly transports you back to the capital city of your element.	Becomes a useless rock after usage.	20 electrum
	Shard	1	It appears to be useless, but maybe it can be upgraded	Becomes one of three random shards after being "upgraded" in the city (forge?) for 1,500 electrum (too expensive)?	5 electrum.  Cannot be bought.
	Shard of Divinity	5	Harnesses the strength of the divine, allowing you to upgrade an additional six cards for one fight.	Becomes useless after one use	1000 electrum.
	Shard of Gratitude	5	Harnesses the mercy of the divine, allowing you to cut your discarded cards in half after one fight.	Becomes useless after one use	1000 electrum.
	Shard of Readiness	5	Harnesses the speed of the divine, allowing you to double your action points for one round.	Becomes useless after one use	1000 electrum.

Those are actual cards that we will be using in the event as actual cards. We cannot use them as items as well.

[Kamietsu]

Name	Level	Ability	Special	Cost
Scroll of Probability	2	Increases the chances of finding something when digging.	Becomes unusable after 3 uses.	10
Blood Pendant	5	Double the number of cards you salvage from a win.	Breaks after use.	75
Haggler's Guide	3	Lower all card costs by 1(?)	Bursts into flames after 2 uses.	35
Frictionless Boots	2	Lets you move up to 2 spaces instead of one.	Cannot be used two turns in a row.	25
Shoes of Flight	1	Lets you ignore terrain penalties.	----	15
Gold Necklace	4	Increase the electrum you gain by 50%	----	50

Also, I was thinking, should items be upgradeable? maybe for a price or crafted with a certain card, they would increase in level. Such as Shoes of Flight combined with Momentum, and 10 electrum, they would become Frictionless Boots.

perhaps we could also put in some useless items as well?

Name	Level	Ability	Special	Cost
Spiffy Mustache	4	----	A very spiffy looking mustache. It doesn't seem to do anything, but it looks like it would fetch a pretty penny.	----

[Malduk]

Name	Level	Ability	Special	Cost
Amulet of Protection	6	Last battle you lost can be replayed.	Destroyed after use. Cannot carry more than one at the time.	High-ish cost
Air Sack*	4	Lets you put up to 6 Animate Weapons in the deck, regardless of your Vault.	Sack is destroyed after first loss using cards from it.	Medium cost

*We can have Sacks for every element with 6 of some notable card that enables players building new type of deck. They are temporary, help for players. Explosions, Poison, Lightning, Heal, etc can be used here. After a loss, item is lost + cards are discarded from remaining of the deck (as these cards were never part of your "vault"), so its pretty risky for players to buy Sacks, but gives them options in building counter decks.

First off - I wish I read this thread earlier. ^^; Secondly; I support Malduk's idea of bonus items that allow for dynamic deck-building and Kami's idea of improving items.

Thirdly, here's a few of my ideas...

Name	Level	Ability	Special	Cost
[Element] Coupon	1-2	Reduces the purchase of your next [Element] card by X electrum.	Destroyed upon use.	---
Sacrificial Kris	2-4	Sacrifice (Discard) X cards to generate a Relic.	Can be used repeatedly, but each time, it requires an additional amount of discarded cards to generate the relic.	---
Scrying Orb	2-5	Name a card - if the opponent has this card in their deck during a duel, you will automatically gain it win or lose.	Higher chance of breaking upon each use/breaks after X uses.	---
[Element] Wardrobe	1-3	You embody the spirit of [Element], allowing you to make trades easier and enter cities of that element without being attacked.	Effect breaks upon attacking or after you leave said city.	---
Explosive Mine	4-5	Increase the damage of your basic Siege ability by X for one turn.	Destroyed upon use.	---
Hefty Toolbox	2-4	Summons a helper to/allows you to repair a wall for X HP over 3 turns.	Can be used X times before the toolbox becomes dulled.	---
Crazy Potion	???	Drink this to have a special bonus or something weird happen to you...	One use. Can affect AP, your skills that you can use, dueling, reputation, or even your other items!	---
Vial of Intensity	5-6	Grants 3 additional AP the turn it's used. Cannot be used multiple times.	One use. Rare to find.	---
Dragon Egg	4-5	After 3 rounds, hatches into an upgraded dragon creature of your last-used Elemental mark.	Rare to find. One use.	---
Telescope	1-2	Allows you to scope out a person up to 3 hexes away in one of the 6 hexagonal directions, allowing you to learn any special abilities, items, or possessions they have.	Usable repeatedly. Increased range for players.	---
Transparent Blossom	2-3	Increases your reputation with the element when you finish a quest from a quest giver.	Wilts after X turns.	---
Rune of Winter	3-6	All enemy players that attack you have their attacks (including Aggressive Attacks) fail.	One use. Two uses if you're a Water Elemental.	---
Transmutation Ring	3-4	Converts up to 3 cards in your current vault to another card of your choosing.	5 round recharge. This item breaks if you lose in a battle.	---
Painted Junk	2-3	Discard 1 card less and instead give this item to your opponent upon losing a battle instead.	Stackable. (you can discard multiples of these and give them to your opponent upon losing)	---
Diamond Fishing Pole	2	Allows a player to fish in any Lava or Water hex. May find treasures if they're of the corresponding element.	Can be used multiple times.	---

Made some changes to the first post. Simple is better.

Currently the plan looks to be that there will be 39 different items, 3 items per element.

Thanks for all the ideas. I'll look at them later tonight.

About Illusion of Power and upped cards. There is a new rule. WoE will work the same way as War does, meaning that players don't own upped cards. They own unupped cards and can only use upped cards if their skills let them to do that. So you cannot salvage upped cards.

It seems to be useful when a item allow you use upped cards. Because there elements who can use only 6 or less upped cards. I'm thinking about a item for every elements that allows you to use 6 upped cards from that element. Works only for one round. You can't use two items of the same elements at the same round. You cant use more than two items of these. 1 AP for using.  A special for  : you have choose six different cards form six different elements.

The item can be named e.g. Stone of X element or so....

One thing that wasn't mentioned in the rules..

For each skill point you spend on a specific skill tree, you get to use one upped card from the element of that skill tree.

So if I have 6 points in skills, I get to use 6 upped cards (plus what the skills might have).

This in mind, I don't think that an item like that is needed.

^ Thanks for that, it's a good idea. Do marks count as a skill, as far as upped cards are concerned?

Yes, Marks are skills, so you get that +1 upped card when taking a Mark.
