The Ring

By Tiggurix, in Talisman

Do anyone else think the Ring is way too powerful to simply be called 'Ring'? I think, for a ring which gives the same bonuses as a frickin' unicorn, it deserves a better name, such as "Ring of Greatness" or "Ring of Power" or "Ring of being as Awesome as a Unicorn".

The working title for the card was supposed to be "Ring of being as Awesome as a frickin' Unicorn", but sadly it would not fit on the card. gran_risa.gif

Actually, not that Highlands is out, I think the Unicorn is totally overpowered. I mean, HL has an Object called Horns of Power which gives +1 Str and Craft. HornS as in multiple, pansy-Unicorn has just one and still gives the same bonus gran_risa.gif !

Heh heh! Yes, those double bonus items (and followers) are highly sought after. I've always wondered if they shouldn't be Treasures (or now Relics). The Ring has spurred more CvC that most cards in our games... well, except for the Runesword... and the dumb thumpers that are desperate for the Crown.

My brother has actually gone to the Mystic on several occasions with a Good character in the hopes that he'd turn Evil, just so that he'd be able to pick up the Runesword if it should emerge. Naturally, his least liked character is the Knight. gran_risa.gif

Hmmm... I think one advantage to a big Adventure deck is that these items may not come up every game. Keeps it all uncertain.

So, that is inside information then? gui%C3%B1o.gif What other parts of development were you active in? gran_risa.gif

Yeah, the Unicorn is totally OP! They need to come out with a 'Multicorn' in the next expansion just to showcase that, and an 'Alluring Virgin'+'Unicorn Hunter' to balance them. gran_risa.gif

They could call it the "Ring of Fire" and introduce a new Follower called the "Man in Black"

that would allow you to take it from any player... Would also automatically get you into a fight with the Farmer at the Tavern...

Not to mention that you would be "imprisoned" at the Temple on every other visit or so... lengua.gif

"The Ring of Fire" is one of the greatest hits of country artist Johnny Cash, who was often called "the man in black".
