OK,reading this again I see no style just function. What else did I do wrong?

Chameleon Shield
Aura moderate illusion; CL 8th
Slot shield; Price 10,114 gp; Weight 10 lbs.
Description
This +1 heavy wooden shield is painted and carved with the likeness of a chameleon lizard. After being stationary for one move action, the shield changes color and texture to blend in with the environment giving concealment to its bearer. Three times per day, after being activated and stationary for a full round, it covers the bearer with an illusion of the surrounding environment granting total concealment as long as the user is still or moves at half speed or less. Attacking and spell casting with somatic or verbal components and any other normal or faster motion negates these effects.

Construction
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, woodshape, hide campsite;
Cost 5,157 gp

It's like writing an abstract, difficult but it can be done.

50 words doesn't go very far.

What do people think? Should the 50 words be 'just the facts' or written with style and feeling? "make my day"

Does the map have to be specifically Golarian i.e. on a dark alley off of Main Street in Absalom, or can it be general fantasy themed? i.e. a dark alley with piles of garbage

Is it something to do with the low number of fantasy authors here?

Lots of horror and detective/mystery novels.

Anyone on the west coast of Sweden?

:) People don't understand that kärringkånk is a matter of life and death.

Winning isn't 'lagom'

I'm a US citizen but live in Sweden, does that count? I live in a small town and haven't found any other players.

Someone probably already asked this, but what do you like better, long or short - 296 words or 80?

This is a game! That's why humor shouldn't be an auto-reject. The most memorable moments in my years of gaming are either funny or swashbuckling (which is often funny). But catchy titles, good writing and interesting effects are what I think I vote on, not in that order.

I feel it falls freshly from the tongue
When writing thus, wizardly thoughts
And Tolkein taught this timely course
of ancestors always answering wisely

(not quite alliterative long lines,but I just woke up)

But does it grab the average voter's attention? Or the voter who is just clicking until a friend's item pops up? Or am I being too cynical.

On the other hand, Beowulf was written in alliterative long lines, so maybe it is the proper way to write in English.

So to begin, obviously max dex but how important is Cha? Do they get enough Ki pool with a 12?

I have a friend who wants to play a ninja elf specializing in daggers - named Nigel Nine-knives. 25 pt build, starting at 4th level. I assume thrown weapons and maybe shuriken. Any advice?
- other PCs are a barbarian and an oracle

Thanks for all the advice. We'll continue as we are, sneaky and ROLE playing.

Can it work without a tank? We've got a PFRPG'd Warlock, a ranger/rogue/shadowdancer and a wind Oracle, intended for stealthy capers but we have problems with combat. Maybe rebuild the Oracle?
