My farewell to this thread is simple: more filigree next year.

Blood filigree.

Blood and alcohol filigree. Against incorporeal undead.

With runes

And three paragraphs of backstory.

In a new invented slot, maybe belly button?

You forgot that bypasses every type of DR and is every type of energy as needed.

Edit: Xill vs. spider

I have seen that particular pairing *so many times* I can't even tell you.

Funny I'm not sure that I have seen either of those items and yet I have seen some pairings over and over and over and over and over and ...

Oh well back to meh item vs meh item. Makes me miss the ridiculous item vs meh item days.

Oooh two items I have up voted many times with a similar theme against each other!! It has taken a long time to get here. Finally!

Aren't you the same as an item that has existed since 1st Ed?? How are you still here?

HE SLIMED ME!!

So we meet again, item that allows grandpa to chew!

We did cull yesterday at around 1:40 pm PST.

** spoiler omitted **

Yup, I totally agree. It took two days for my item to appear after the first cull. At first I was bummed but then I went out with the family and forgot about it and several days later was surprised when I was still in the contest. It was nice.

Yea and somehow I get all the credit!

When held the red shaft erupts...NOOOOOOOO!

Spinning shields sure are a thing this year.

The top 32 must fight to the death, Hunger Games-style.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Feeling pretty good about that he thinks to himself on the way to Krav Maga training.

Yes, I see you Wheel of Time item. Fortunately for you, you are up against Star Trek item.

Well you were doing fine until you added that last paragraph and became a marvel villain.

This item x appears to be an ordinary item x, is covered in filigree and runes and when attuned may transform into any of the many kinds of item x, bypass any of the many kinds of DR, or take on any of the various elemental properties. It can also affect incorporeal and haunts but only if you cut yourself and drip your blood on said filigree and runes . And it can also cast magic missile but only at complete darkness.

Fixed

"Where're the Cheetos?!"

Oh I forgot that if you and your buddy both have this item you can share your skills and feats.

And if you die, it raises you as a ghost, and then the weapon becomes dancing and starts hacking away at all your ectoplasms.

And it lets you speak with dead days after the fact, like that other item that does the same thing. No, the other item that does the same thing. No, the other one. No, the other one. No, the one from last year. No, the other one from last year. No... wait, maybe it was one of the four from two years ago, instead.

That's only if the runes inscribed along its hilt are currently glowing a soft blue, which of course only occurs if the bearer is sad.

I thought the blue glow meant you are attuned but the red glow meant you can see the colored auras of other people and then control them.

No silly the red glow means it can copy somethings face.

Ah apparently I have now voted 500 times.

I kind of hope that with the cull the time limit will be reduced. I understand the 60 seconds at first, when there's definitely going to be items that haven't been seen, but when the list is narrowed I think it can be reduced.

There may be newcomers showing up late, but they can obviously take as much time as needed to read, it isn't like there's a deadline per vote.

The delay isn't about making you take the time to read it—it's about mitigating voting fraud. We don't want people clicking as fast as possible through all the entries until they spot their own (or their friend's, or just their favorite) and voting it up, then repeating. (Or doing the same to repeatedly downvote an entry they dislike, or just to introduce chaos to the voting by randomly voting on as many pages as possible.) Assuming a number of entires in the high hundreds or low thousands, seeing two entries per minute means you have to vote for hours (on average) between seeing the same item twice (of course, random is random, so it's *possible* to see repeats much sooner, but over time, you'll drift to the average).

Since culls result in fewer entries to go through before you're likely to see your target again, the delay actually becomes *more* important to the process as we cull.

I have to say that this is definitely not how it worked for me. If I voted 300 times (approximation) I saw about 20 items at least 10 times each if not more and then saw 100 or so items 2 - 3 times. It has been frustrating to vote my rear off and know that I have only seen a tiny subset of items and never saw most of the items that have been cut so far.

It is a little sad to see "Spells in a Can" still existing after 2 rounds of cuts while other items have gone by the wayside.

Wait, what? Come again? It's an item that is destroyed if it's used as a weapon? Really?

It could be worse, it could be a weapon that is destroyed if used as an item.

Darn, I'm back too seeing all of the ones i've seen many times before and still haven't seen mine. I'm going to bed.

I think the idea is that it makes everyone else blind, actually. ;P

True but plunging yourself into darkness should blind you and yet it doesn't...and how have you voted so much already. I've been on vacation and voting every time I'm at a computer and still haven't quite cracked dedicated.

Hey I just want you to know that about once a year or so this thing is really going to hurt you just to keep you on your toes. Is that ok?

I'm seeing a lot of creates darkness but you can see through it. Reminds me a lot of makes you blind but you can see.

If your item requires me to turn into an accountant to keep track of what it does...it likely won't get my vote. This game has enough record keeping.

teeth item vs claw item...fight!

Hey this item has charges...what exactly are those charges used for??

I can't believe I just voted for Kirk to Enterprise item...but there really was no choice

all right ... who keeps sneaking in and switching my avatar?

I really want to see the two weapons that don't actually do damage against each other tom and jerry style. Scratch that (he he) I've seen more than two weapons that don't actually do damage...and voted for some.

Lunch time voters...activate!

Hey my knife throwing character would LOVE this weapon...that makes me worry ...

I'm not sure that word is actually a thing in pathfinder. Did you mean necromantic?

If I have to look up more than 3 words in your item you probably aren't getting my vote. We had a guy in high school we called Mr. Dictionary. You don't want to be Mr. Dictionary.

Same bloody item gets up voted again because it is against a rip off from a web comic. This is one lucky item.

and hey an item that will allow grandpa to chew his food again!

You know, I was just thinking to myself ... I've always wanted a playhouse for my summoned demon!

Darn still only a star voter 1

Hey, I'm starting to see some new items!

For the price of a +1 weapon you can overcome any DR!

I just had to vote up an item that is asking me questions because it is against a joke item. :(

I believe so but not recommended.

Darling, everyone in high society this year will be wearing clothing made of desiccated something or other.

Hey after 200 words...that's what the item is!

I really want to snark this item but I can't without it being perfectly obvious which one I am talking about...sigh...down voted for like the 7th time.

i have been impaled again! At least it wasn't my soul this time.

Lots of soul ripping/piercing going on this year.

As soon as you start hedging on what your class actually is everyone at the table will know you are a ninja because only players with ninjas do this. You might as well just tell everyone and save the uncomfortable 5 minutes.

I think kids will want to do what their parents do and younger siblings will want to do what older siblings do.

Both of my daughters 11 and 6 like to play D&D (really Swords and Wiz) with me. They have watched me play with my Pathfinder group (which did include girls for many years although not currently) since they were little and I know if I were to ask them if they wanted to play Pathfinder they would both jump at the chance.

There is nothing inherently about girls or rpgs that keeps the two apart.

What do i think? I wonder where you get +51 to attack from. I will admit that I am not much of a min/maxer and my group has only played to level 20 in one campaign but ...

+20 class
+15 stat (assuming a stat of 35) which I have never actually seen and must include a maximum of magical enhancement bonus.

Other than a few plusses from feats like weapon focus, I assume there must be some

inherent?
luck?
divine/holy/unholy?

where is the other +14 or so coming from?

sorry for the sort of off topic.

That's the way I see it.
