I agree that this isn't written up as a clear organization, and seems more like a philosophy.
That said, I can totally see my PC's pepper-spraying these dirty hippies when they try to Occupy the local Pathfinder Society lodge!
*It's a wig of useful items (almost) tacked onto a hat of disguise. Just all rolled up into one. At its core, the item is retreading ground that two other items already provide. There's really nothing super-innovative here.
*Vote to Reject.
*Pasting together two items is not Superstar.
*Reject.
*Rejected.
This is fair criticism, and I kind of suspected it was coming after reading many other entries.
That said, I know you're busy for the forseeable future, but if you get some time, I would really appreciate two more points of data.
First, how did I do with the format/templating, and second, how accurate was my pricing?
If there's no time for that, no worries. I truly appreciate the monumental effort the judges have made providing even this much feedback.
Thanks again!
Thanks to the judges for their willingness to critique all these submissions. I know what a good editing service/professional development costs, so the fact that you do this for FREE is amazing! Thanks!
Wig of the Wastrel Aura faint illusion and transmutation; CL 5th
Slot head; Price 2500 gp; Weight -
Description
This elaborate powdered wig allows its wearer to alter his appearance as with a disguise self spell. As part of the disguise, the wig can assume any different hairstyle from short cropped stubble, to a waist length braid, and so on. Additionally, once per day, the wearer can command the wig to produce one of the following effects: draw enough hairpins from the wig to serve as a set of masterwork thieves’ tools; draw enough braided hair from the wig to serve as 50’ of silk rope; or shake enough hairpins loose from the wig to cover an area 5 feet square with caltrops. All items removed from the wig last one hour before returning to the wig.
Construction Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, disguise self, shrink item; Cost 1250 gp
Can anyone tell me if there is a feat or trait that allows a character to count their character level as their caster level?
I seem to recall there being something like this in PF, or maybe in D&D 3.5?
It was designed to "fix" multi-class character IIRC. My search-fu is failing me today.
I don't think you're going to get normal weapon damage with swords using the violent thrust option. Contrary to what the movies would have you believe, a greatsword is really not that aerodynamic. What you're going to get isn't 15 seperate sword thrusts. It's more like an area getting hit with a couple hundred pounds of sharp metal.
To that point, just skip the whole bag of holding/sword thing. Set this encounter in a forge, and just throw sharp chunks of metal at them. Better still. Hurl blobs of moten metal at them!
Probably still gonna be a TPK though unless you give the PC's a LOT of warning/cover, and they use good tactics.

The value of noble garb created by the rod ranges from 7,000 to 10,000 gp (1d4+6 x1,000 gp)-1,000 gp for the fabric alone, 5,000 gp for the furs, and the rest for the jewel trim (maximum of twenty gems, maximum value 200 gp each).

Inside the tent are temporary furnishings and food suitable to the splendor of the pavilion and sufficient to entertain as many as one hundred persons. The tent and its trappings last for one day. At the end of that time, the tent and all objects associated with it (including any items that were taken out of the tent) disappear.

Snoop is definitely NOT optimized for combat! He's a skill monkey that prefers to Bluff and talk his way out of trouble. He provides some utility as a counterpeller and buffer as well. He's got a lot of great roleplaying hooks as wekk with the Rod of Splendor, and spells like Create Treasure Map. I have played this character in the past with a slightly different build, and he is a LOT of fun!
FE: Aberration in Golarion makes me think of a Call of Cthulu investigator. He knows the old ones and Aboleths have made this horrible creatures, and he opposes them wherever he can.
There have been multiple mentiones of "The Stick" as well as resolving this with meaningful adult conversation.
May I suggest both of those?
Here is the BEST "Stick Disguised as Meaningful Adult Conversation" I have ever read.
I used this OVER and OVER in a 100 player Vampire LARP I ran for many years. (You want to talk about Drama Queens and Disruptive Non-Participants?!?!)
http://www.plausiblydeniable.com/opinion/gsf.html
This article explains the Five Geek Social Fallacies.
Your player is exhibiting at least four of them.
Read it. Make sure Disruptive Girl reads it.
Have a conversation about it like a mature responsible adult.
It really is a great stick.
I have seen a couple of local cons putting Pathfinder games on the their slate will there be any Pathfinder games at Origins even if they are not Pathfinder Society ones?
Not sure if this fits your query, but I'm running a game at Origns called "Tooks in the Wire" that will be using the Pathfinder RPG rules.
It's certainly NOT part of Pathfinder Society, and not even set in the Pathfinder universe, but will be using the rules.
