Survived the "culling". Yay! Paired against a better item. Ahh, poo. Finally down voted my own item...

Bonus XP for integrity.

I don't know if I could do it.

Well, there was one weaker and one stronger aura. Does that mean that Daddy Aura left after Kid Aura appeared?

... you get aberrant auras with cacophonic effects on failed Fortitude saves.

*sagenods*

He took a job with the Pathfinder Society Conservation Corps. They are building a highway through the Land of the Linnorm Kings.


Oh, yeah! All my adventuring characters want that item sooo much! Really!

(it is not a bad item to be honest, simply not very much adventurous)

Don't forget the Fort Save vs. the Sickened Condition because of a nauseating factor of the aura.

Marathon Voter Season 7

I think there's an item for that somewhere in here...

Star Voter Season 7

Hrm... hamfisted item... don't beat the reader over the head with how clever you are... and yet, you're more inspired that the other option. Bugger. upvote


*kicks the timer* Faster! Count faster!

I've seen both my favorites post-cull now. Still waiting for mine.

You can PM me if you wish and I can tell you if I've come across it post-cull.

Edit: Extending that offer to anyone.

I suspect if you look at the effects of the item, the spells being used are being cast at the minimum level to satisfy the creation.

e.g. if you have two spells, one requiring to be cast at 7th level to produce a 7 dice effect in the item, and another which really only needs to be cast at 3rd level to add to that effect, then it is likely that if the two spells are from different schools, then two strengths get quoted. (If they are from the same school, then only the highest strength gets quoted).

I don't regard this as a problem if I can identify in the item effects that the spell levels being cast are appropriate.

It wasn't the case of multiple effects cast at minimum caster level each. Also, magic item aura is based on the item's caster level - I can't recall seeing any Paizo item ever that would have have auras of different strength.

Cursed-ish item and the only one I reported for DQ survived the cull.

Are you there, Groetus? It's me, Quibblemuch.

So, after reaching Dedicated Voter (I promise, not more dedicated than I am to you, G.), I FINALLY saw my item. It holds up well. One habit that I did see, both in my own description and a LOT of others, is to open with some variant on: "[Item] seems to be..." or "[Item] appears like a..." or "Resembling a common [other thing]..."

Interesting tic. Reading hundreds of descriptions that do that has made me realize how often I default to that in my own writing. As Groetus is my witness, I shall henceforth COMMIT when writing, and describe things instead of describing what things SEEM to be.

Thanks for the lesson, Groetus. See you soon!


Wait ... wait... something just clicked on an item I had not seen before.

I didn't copy it down.

Who has a list and wants to help me out?


Decent idea for an item but the name does not fit it... I think the author reworked the idea but forgot to adjust the name.


Something tells me that author suffered from GM overusing mind control on the PCs...

Apparently my cat likes this item ... she just licked the screen.

Okay, I'll upvote you.

I'm only compiling a list of names with a few keepers. Is there any way that I can help?

When I have to vote for a repellant item because the other item has some significant design flaws, my soul dies a little.

It just popped up again. I had a look at the phrase that flagged my interest. I believe I know the obscure reference.

Thank you, though!!!

Creepy flavorful item with slight mechanical problems vs Clever expensive consumable

These decisions are harder post-cull.


*sigh* Another idea for an item with unimpressive mechanics... Better than the other item, though.

I think I finally came upon that 52 word item people have been mentioning. It's not bad. Maybe even good.

Now it won't get DQed for copyright infraction.

Judging from the name of this item, I would expect that I could drink cranberry juice instead of using it.

Very cool item. I'd have used the word idiolect myself, though your word does have additional, useful connotations.

Marathon Voter Season 7

Some of the saves required are really throwing me off. Either making fairly innocuous non-damage functions of the item really hard to use, or making the damage causing ones too hard to avoid.


Centaur versus butterflys!

EMS item spotted - another checkmark on the scavenger hunt.

Actually, this time it was bulls and bears. Haven't seen the squirrels since yesterday.

Need to take a break from voting. This is me taking a break. =P

I find myself just randomly clicking every now and again and then going, "what did I just select?" How do you people do it? 360 votes/day to get Champion. I couldn't stand it even after the cull.


I don't recall seeing squirrels. I could forget about them, though.
