New items post cull - hooray (mine nowhere to be seen pre or post cull and on no list. I'm sure I got DQ'd before voting even started - why, why? Sigh.

me too - a notebook filling up of wondrous items and now Staves, rings, armours and weapons (see since I'm in Australia I don't have to spell it armor on the forums!)

Mine isn't on the list and I haven't come across it - time to start thinking of reasons it was DQ'd. Man, sometimes imagination can be a disadvantage (as in imagining reasons for DQ, not claiming my item was in some more more imaginative than any others!!

Me either! Oh Well

What did a Bard do to them I wonder?

I need to write that more often since I then immediately get two new items I haven't seen. Still haven't seen mine and its not on items seen. I wonder when to get worried!

Lots of items repeating - haven't had anything new for a while

words blurring - need rest - can't stop voting

Be careful - that word means something probably un-publishable in another language

Onyx seems the most popular gemstone

keen, bane, returning, oscilating, glammered, humming, oozing, disco-dancing water pistol of +1 how I adore the amount of word count you use

Also a lot of 'if this then that and if this then that' in the same item

They are everywhere!

So many runes - and it s not a language but a writing system so I wonder how many Golarion languages could be written in runes
(just pondering) - lots of portals to other places - and I wonder if the use of ki specific or class specific items are to explore the pricing discount mechanics? Or perhaps not!

No, just paranoia and the mind-set that any negative criticism must be directed at my item - same happened last year. Ah the joys ...

There are contest submitters who feel great about their entry, but submitted it without reading the instructions. As a result, there's one particularly cool wondrous item I feel really bad for.

And now I just feel that that is me ...

Here's mine - this is not the final wording as I did make that rookie mistake (but then I am a rookie and this was my first time entering) of changing the wording at the last second - but as you can see this has the word 'reach', a connonical word in Pathfinder, but not used here in that sense so I changed it - if anyone happened to copy the final version - you could advise what I changed it to (yikes!) I think an earlier draft made a different use of maximize too! I look forward to your comments.

Robe of Resonance
Aura moderate evocation (sonic); CL 10th
Slot body; Price 72,000 gp; Weight 3 lb.
Description
This robe of closely-woven fine red wool, lined with a series of exotic wood panels and other materials decorated with sigils of musical notation, bestows upon the wearer an enhancement to spells and abilities which have an audible effect and which the target is required to hear. When such a spell or ability with an audible effect is begun, the robe billows out as an immediate action and forms a resonating chamber around the wearer to increase the spell or ability’s reach. While wearing the robe of resonance the range of spells and abilities with an audible effect is doubled. Any other prerequisites of the spell or ability must still be met. Spells which require a verbal component but do not require the target to hear them or the effect (such as power word spells) are not enhanced by the robe.

Construction
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, shout; Cost 36,000 gp.

Yes here in Australia its 9.00 am Wednesday (and I've been up voting since 7.00) Saw a whole raft of new items (for me) at the very end which was invigorating!

I can't stop myself from thinking that my item is being referred to every time I read 'found a keeper' or similar - even 'hello item' must be mine. I know the probability is incredibly low but I can't stop my subconscious from saying it! I even copy/pasted a (vague & generic) comment so sure I was that it was mine which was being referred to - that said haven't seen mine after the cull so maybe mine was one of those 'copies a 2nd ed item' or others. REACS indeed (thanks Belladonna!) I am a REACShonary for sure!

Words of choice - mote, sigil and rune cropping up all the time!
