Dang, what is it with all these items called <equipment slot> of <Y>?
Tradition!
Also, Diablo.
I need what kind of stuff to create this? After searching the PRD up and down I tried Google, and I didn't find the results amusing or reassuring. Not at all.
As a first time as a participant in RPG Superstar, it certainly has been interesting looking through all of these items (and these comments). Definitely gives one insights into what to do and not to do.
I like your name, sir.
Dear lordy, I want to download my new pdf's but am having too much fun voting to spare the bandwidth >.<What pdf is it?
The most recent adventure path. Loving this mythic series and the story/fluff is really engaging.
Mmmm, lunch...taco sandwiches.

Why spell-in-a-can item with caster level 8th lasts for 60 minutes instead of 80?
Because someone clearly didn't know how to make a duration with regards to caster levels? You are so silly. :-)
Why exactly this item is an wondrous item instead of regular potion?
Another opportinity to spend 1,850,000 gp.....
Some artifacts cost less you know
Chupa chupa potions? Mmmmmhhhh... Tasty!

Without knowing what errors I made in my submission, is it really so hard to take 5 bloody minutes and read the actual rules? Also, using the template Paizo offered right there? If at least the idea had been good, but this is just a giant mess, sorry.
Yeah, I already saw one very basic mistake I made in my item and kicked myself for it.
Should probably go on my lunch break to eat rather than voting for items... why is this soo much more fun than eating?!?

At least! A turtle-item!

True, my group is on the second book.
Cursed item vs. Bad formatting
You know that base land speed is not per round but per action?

Hey, I know that I messed up the language in my submission... my coffee consumptions has gone through the roof. But several SuperStar items in the last years had some bugs, making a mistake will not automatically DQ you when the basic idea and concept is sound.

Let's see... I could pay over 50k for +2 to certain Professions... Or I could get a +4 WIS headband, get +2 to EVERY Profession (as well as Perception, Will saves, Sense Motive...) and have a small fortune left over.
Next.

Actually the writer meant effective but wrote affective which cracked me upitem becomes affective after death...... ewwIt's a "thing" this year. Seems that eyes are also the go to "slot". shudder
I didn't even notice the typo, you know, since I seem to be flooded with them now. Can someone make spellcheck a spell for real?
saw 1 infomercial item, 3 joke items, at least 3 items straight out of movies/comics, slew of no bolds or bad formats and worst still a terrible item put up against a bad format item leaving me little choice but to elect the one that would normally have gotten a "no". I even think I saw a rehash of a previous winners item or two.
What I have seen buried in all this is some really crafty items that made me *smile*.
Thank you to those good submissions.. Some have been darn right sexy new DM toys.

Reason for rejection: Item allows the party to control a Balor.
One Wondrous Item To Rule Them All?
Gruesome, but I have to vote it.
a Heart vs a Heart
renowned for being cursed?
An item that essentially doesn't do anything versus an item that does a bunch of unrelated things that don't link thematically?
I have played this game since year 1 and today I posted a PM to Sean to see if an item is a DQ or not.
First. Time. Ever.
I feel quite the heel at the moment.
The general specific of why I asked Sean to check the item is...
The item had omitted certain elements of the template. It was close to word limit and adding the missing items would have blown the word limit.
If this is your item, I am truly sorry.
If your item was the other item, you received a free up vote. :)
Two mantles with the same name and power, but one is too cheap.

I want to say something witty about this one, and point out a silly flaw...then I realize it has many flaws. Than I reread it to see if I caught all the flaws, then.....daaaaaamn.
But one great lesson for new entrants reading this thread in horror: use these criticisms to entertain yourself, and then learn from them. "Big things come from small beginnings."
Wait, the items is magical, but says it can be used as an alternative to magic (?), only to go on and describe the magical effects it can grant? I think I took 1d4 sanity damage there.
Official.
Honestly, a lot of stuff in this thread is sort of nitpicky. Unavoidable when you're looking at so many items, I guess.
But the most common flaw by far is an item that just isn't exciting. All the other details are minor in comparison.

Squeeeee I saw Andrew's item! That did not happen at all last year.
In full disclosure, I read it second hoping it was better than the first item I read, so I have no guilt voting for it.
People must really hate the rogues in their party.
Now THIS is a great book!
Official.
Yep

Periods instead of commas in the prices.
Another gold tooth?

No, they appear to be planning to do grievous bodily harm to their Rogues, but can't be bothered to figure out how to use lockpicks.
