Hope everyone is enjoying their solstice stockings!
One thing that hasn't been decided, and that we're still debating, is what the powers should be for the gifts in the gold/platinum stockings. I thought you might appreciate helping us decide what powers could be! (Obviously, everything below is a draft and subject to change, especially after we get your input.)
First, the gold and platinum stockings have the same gifts so don't worry if you have more gold than platinum or vice versa. What's in them? Well, it depends whether the Gnodfather gets to you or not. The Gnodfather leaves coal. Ironbeard leaves peppermints. Coal and peppermint can be traded among players.
The peppermints can formed an item that gets bigger the more coal you put in, to a maximum of an item created with 5 peppermint pieces (max of one item per person).
- 1 peppermint = candy stick (2/6 ego buff for 1 hour, usable 1/game month)
- 2 peppermints = candy rod (2/6 mana buff for 1 hour, usable 1/game month)
- 3 peppermints = candy cane (2/6 health buff for 1 hour, usable 1/game month)
- 4 peppermints = candy staff (2/6 universal damage resistance for 1 hour, usable 1/game month)
- 5 peppermints = candy pole (trueheal, usable 1/game month)
The coal works the same as the peppermint.
- 1 coal = trowel (acts as a shovel for digging)
- 2 coal = spade (stun target, usable 1/month) (or we are considering a pit trap)
- 3 coal = shovel (burrowing)
- 4 coal = mattock (2/6 universal damage buff for 1 hour, usable 1/game month)
- 5 coal = drill (earthquake that knocks down enemies and stuns, usable 1/game month)
Anyway, we aren't looking for anything crazy, but rather powers that are limited or minor. If you have suggestions, help us design your stocking gifts!

I like the idea of halving balance on digging!

Everyone like one use veil for the 5 coal power?
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
Or we could let anyone make a pit trap 1/game month. If you are a tracker, could just make pit traps free if you have that coal power (no comm cost).
