Hi all, I'm relatively new to the RPG circuit (started playing Pathfinder in April, no prior experience), and this is my first time entering any kind of real writing contest (i.e. one where I care about the prize). Anyway, I didn't even make the top 100, but I did make the cull. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Description
These golden dancer’s bracelets are adorned with small cymbals that rest on the inner wrist; when tapped together they produce a clear chime that can be heard from a great distance. Under normal circumstances they perform as a masterwork percussion instrument, providing a +2 bonus on perform (percussion) checks.
When struck together during the surprise round of combat, they unleash a sonic burst that startles enemies, stunning all unaware creatures within a 30-foot radius of the wearer for 1d4 rounds. A successful Fortitude save (DC 16) reduces this to 1 round. Creatures that are deaf are unaffected. This item does not function if it is within the area of effect of a spell of silence. If the wearer makes a perform (percussion) check to activate the item, a successful DC 20 perform check will add half the user’s charisma bonus (including temporary modifiers) to the save DC. If a natural 20 is rolled on the dice, half the user’s charisma bonus is added to the duration of the stun regardless of whether affected creatures save or not.
The effect of the next stun can be increased by placing it in a box with a stunstone overnight, which drains all of the magic out of the stunstone. On the first surprise round following this charging, the duration of the stun effect doubles.
