Wow. This Thread has proved a considerable and commendable effort by all those who have posted before me.

Clay of the Master
Aura moderate transmutation; CL 9th
Slot --; Price 20,000 gp; Weight 4 lbs.
Description
This pliable material appears like any other tan clay and can be molded into a variety of shapes. When a command word is spoken, the clay hardens instantly, becoming a functioning tool, weapon, or item for up to 1 hour before turning back into moldable clay. Any item made has a masterwork quality to it, granting a +2 bonus. Any weapon created functions as a weapon of masterwork quality, but also provides the /magic quality needed to overcome damage reduction. The user does not need to make a craft check, to succeed in creating the masterwork item.

The Clay of the Master may be used as a whole or in separate chunks, and contains enough material to create the following:


  • 20 arrows, bolts, or bullets
  • any two handed weapon for a medium creature, or two one-handed weapons
  • up to 3 separate keys
  • up to a heavy shield (for a medium-sized creature)
  • other handheld or carried items at the gamemaster’s digression

The command word can be used up to 3 times per day. All pieces of the Clay of the Master are effected by the command word, and will harden, regardless of a specified use, when the command word is spoken. Several sets of clay may be combined to create rowboats, battering rams, or other larger items.
Construction
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, fabricate; Cost 10,000 gp


The comfort I take from this contest is knowing that many items could have made it into a magic item book - they just didn't pop enough to be considered a RPGSS.

...but here's hoping.


I've got to give myself a break from these boards.

I follow along most of the Superstar threads - with confidence in my submission waxing and waning with every revelation of "I missed that pitfall" or "hmm, that item sounds like mine".

The 18th can NOT get here soon enough.
