DoorBreaker,

I love this thing! Perhaps it would have made it if you'd dummed it down a bit. The movement and the enhanced versions sort of confused me. A bit more damage to the door each round would have been cool too. A barbarian wielding an adamantine greataxe would be more efficient - but the dispel magic is cool. Good job.

Hey CastleMike,

Put our items together and we can have a real party!

Hi, I had a lot of fun with this in the home campaigns. No fluff attached and I'm not sure if I was even qualified for the darn competition (but, I'm a part-time designer with only "soft-cover" credits, so ...)

Bag of Hostile Challenges
A bag of hostile challenges appears as a small burlap sack containing wax figurines of muted detail. When activated, each figurine forms into a summoned creature either hostile or helpful to the activator. The wax figurine is either placed or tossed (ranged touch attack, range 10 ft.) and, after the command word is uttered, forms in 1 round.

A bag of hostile challenges comes in three types and each new bag contains 3 figurines. Type I figurines are capable of forming into any creature from summon monster II lists; Type II from summon monster V lists; Type III from summon monster VIII lists.

Figurines may be used repeatedly to summon hostile creatures which fight the activator and assisting comrades fiercely. Although no experience is awarded, such encounters are used to experiment, train etc. Figurines used to summon a creature to assist the activator are depleted upon activation. All summoned creatures remain 1 round per caster level unless destroyed or dispelled.

Faint, moderate or strong conjuration; CL 3rd (Type I), 9 (Type II), 15 (Type III); Craft Wondrous Item, summon monster II, V, VIII; Price 1,500 gp (Type I); 11,250 gp (Type II); 30,000 gp (Type III).

Wyrts

It's a cool idea - but it seems like more an augmented fabricate spell than anything requiring the prismatic sphere spell or such a high cost.

What do you mean by Time Stop affecting only the individual activating the item? Just curious - cool item - could be a bit on the cheap though.

Good question DF, I'd wait for the powers that be to rule on that one.

Sorry to confuse. Just trying to add a bit of sun to an otherwise rainy day...

Oh god, I don't mean the items you've created for this. I'm not even talking about wondrous items :)

These are all cool items, and so are the winners. It's difficult to gauge the overall appeal of a wondrous item until it hits the gaming table, and so don't feel fretted if you didn't breach the wall of 32. The funniest thing from a game design standpoint is that I'm not sure exactly how many of the 32 would have a wondrous effect in game.

Anyway, you're all great. Drop by my site, and you can all email me to discuss other publishing options before 3.5 dies.

Bit of a warning. d20srd.org and the srd site you referenced have some inconsistencies not only with eachother, but with the actual WotC SRD.

You boarders are giving me flash backs to first-year Torts...
Don't even try, if you weren't there, you'll never get it ;)
