9 Blazing Months

Caleth; My only critique on the Vanguard Caligae is that I think you're being a little too cleaver with the name. Most people will brows that item in a list and go "What the hells a Caligae?". On the other hand, Vanguards Sandals also sounds a little weak. I love the concept, though, and my barbarian would totally buy these in a second.

Figured it was about time I threw in my item for critiquing:

Argus' Explosive Gauntlets
Aura moderate evocation; CL 7th
Slot hands; Price 32,000 gp (lesser), 44,000 gp (greater); Weight 1 lb.
Description
These heavy leather gauntlets are scorched black at the fingers, and the backs are inlaid with a fine copper wire, twisted into the shape of a ball of flames. Whenever the wearer of these gauntlets casts a spell with the fire descriptor, he adds 2d6 (lesser) or 4d6 (greater) to the damage, and half of the total damage is considered sonic. Three times per day, the wearer may clap his hands together, creating a blast of explosive sound. All creatures within a 30ft radius must make a DC 16 Fortitude save or become deafened for 2d6 rounds.
Construction
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, fireball, shout; Cost 16,000 gp (lesser), 22,000 gp (greater)

personally, Im not sure about the pricing. I think it may be a little cheap.

Critique:
Rime Trap Amulet:

  • Your selection of spells makes this item unique to alchemist crafters only, and while that's fine, the description of the item has more of a wizardy vibe than an alchemical feel. Very nicely written, though.
  • There's no real transmutation effect going on here, so I can't see where you got that from in your aura. The item's primary effect is evocation (the energy absorbing), followed by conjuration (the healing).
  • You forgot to mention how often the item can be activated.
  • Other than that, it seems pretty decent. I think the price may be a little high, but otherwise not bad

    Rime Bound Amulet:

  • I think the caster level of this should be 6th, but thats probably just me.
  • Seems kind of expensive for something that is, in essence, a weaker version of slow with a downside. But then, I'm still getting used to PF prices as apposed to 3.5 prices
  • "Frost-ferns flow across an opponent’s body if the wearer succeeds on a touch attack with the tendrils." I think this sentence is backwards, and should read "If the wearer succeeds on a touch attack with the tendrils, frost-ferns flow across the opponent’s body."

    Your layout is spot on. Personally, I like the Rime Trap Amulet more than the Rime Bound amulet, but I like the imagery of both. I'd have given a better crit, but it's late and I have (insert excuse here) tomorrow.

    Golarion - Where to start?

    Cheers muchly! There are a lot of books in the store, and it seems that unless you know where you're going, it's easy to get lost.
    Golarion - Where to start?

    Hello there. I'm relatively new to Pathfinder. I bought the core book for a friend for christmas and since then, my group have started 4 or 5 different campaigns. Another friend of mine, after hearing my new interest, gave me his collection of Kingmaker books. After reading the players guide, I fell in love with the amount of detail put into Brevoy. I've just started running the Kingmaker campaign, but I would love to give the players the options and opportunities to adventure to other lands and places in Golarion.

    But where to start?

    There seems to be a huge amount of detail in the world, which is amazing, but is there someplace I could start? I noticed in the store there are individual books detailing specific areas, but is there a book I could get that gives an overview of the whole world? Or is there somewhere on-line that gives some details of places? If I do like the sound of one of the other places, where's the best place to go for more specific info?

    Annoyed that I'm only getting into PF now, as in my years of D&D I'v written a lot of homebrew items/monsters/adventures/etc. I'd love to take part in next years Superstar contest, and a thread or mini-forum dedicated to practicing for the contest would be fantastic; sort of a high critique version of the homebrew forum.
