I was cramming in as many votes as I could before the voting closed moments ago. I saw a few of my personal favorites come by plus a few that I had not seen yet.

Major props to Petty Alchemy and everyone who took the time to update the Items Seen List after voting their hearts out. The thread let myself and others track the progress of their items as well as keep track of their favorites.

I am glad that I will be working while the top 32 and the alternates are announced as it will help keep myself occupied and have the time fly by.

No matter the outcome I had an absolute blast and have a few items on my mind for next year.

I have a few personal favorites as well, will discuss when things are out in the open. Strong contenders, many oozing flavor with some solid mechanics included for a tough decision.

I found out about the moving up of the contest yesterday lol. My body and mind are ready though. I have made what I consider my best effort while taking care of my family and other responsibilities and look forward to anything and everything that comes from this healthy competition. Good luck to those who have entered, for those who have not there is still time, remember to have a copy for much later on when you can have it critiqued and learn and grow for the upcoming competitions.

Looking forward to any critique to help me improve for next year

Housebreaker Bow
Aura moderate transmutation; CL 8th
Slot none; Price 16,600 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Description
This +1 glamered shortbow is made from black yew and is incredibly light and supple. The bow has 5 charges which appear as notches on the bows grip. Whenever a charge is used a notch disappears, showing the remaining charges. The charges replenish every 24 hours at midnight causing any lost notches to reappear. The bows powers are listed below.

Pick: The bow creates an arrow shaped like a lock pick. When fired at a locked object the wielder makes a ranged disable device check to pick the lock as if they had it as a trained skill with a +10 bonus. If fired outside of the bows range reduce the disable device bonus by -2 for each -2 range increment. The arrow deals normal damage when fired at anything else and vanishes 1 round after leaving the bow. (2 charges)

Stick: The bow creates an arrow with an hand shaped arrowhead to appear. When fired against a solid surface the hand sticks firmly and releases a 60-ft length of hemp rope lasting 8 rounds after which the hand and rope disappear. Anyone besides the wielder attempting to move the hand requires a DC 20 Strength check to dislodge it. (1 charge)

Shh: The bow is affected by silence (as the spell) in a 5-ft. square for 8 rounds. If the bow is not being held with at least one hand anytime during Shh being active, the power ends immediately. (2 charges)

Construction
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor; knock, silence, animate rope; Cost 8,300gp

I found that reading and rereading your item could cause you to skip over things if you do it without taking a break. You unconsciously fix something or gloss over something.

I put my item into google translate and used translate english to english. I could hear how my item sounded with my eyes closed so I would immediately hear from someone elses perspective. I would fix a problem if I heard one and continue on. May not be ground breaking but I definitely benefited from it, as not everyone has someone who can help proof your work. If you have never checked it out find the link here Google Translate

Good luck to all who entered.

Here is the link to my Master feat table for Pathfinder’s Core Rulebook in response to a musing of Sean K Reynolds on his facebook page last week,

We need an article or set of tables grouping Core Rulebook feats into "melee feats," "ranged feats," "defensive feats," and "spellcaster feats." That would be very handy for quickly finishing up basic stat blocks.

The table is clickable and linked to the Pathfinder PRD enjoy.

Grouped Core Rulebook Feats

Any advice or feedback appreciated, the table was made in word and when I tried to paste the table here it lost its formating and structure, I found google docs to be an excellent work around. I have the feats for the other main books ready for editing and posting if the first table is useful for our awesome gamers here.
