Liked: I appreciate the risks you are taking with this globe, and I like that you attempted to cover your bases by explaining that conditions can’t be repeated for 24 hours, they are mind-affecting effects, and that the owner can’t make direct gaze attacks with this thing. That shows that you’re attempting to look at your item from every angle, which is the mark of a good designer.
Disliked: This is a stadium screen. A “megatron”, if you will. Unfortunately for you (seeing as how this is your first foray into the contest), you fell into the “take a modern device and recreate it as a Wondrous Item” trap. I suggest you take some time and read this thread.
Also, I really don’t like how your item takes adverse conditions affecting the user and superimposes them on his opponents. That leads to players actively seeking out negative conditions, which is counter-intuitive to the way combat is supposed to work.
Final Thoughts: Your idea of extending the range of a bard’s performance is a good one. And you’re showing some clever risk-taking and out-of-the-box thought processes in your design, but you don’t quite pull it off here.
Ironically, this started as an item that transfers positive conditions and healing as well as negative conditions. I ditched most of that because figuring out the construction requirements seemed insurmountable. The "megatron" special effect was added near the end of design to give it some kind of special effect, and the extra bard range was added to make it have some function other than crazy condition sprinkler. (I am still fond of the crazy condition sprinkler idea though).
Thanks for your kind words... I did spend a lot of time examining the various angles and trying to cover bases.
Liked: Great job tying your item into Golarion. This thing fits the nomadic vibe of the Shoanti quite well. It's also quite useful, if a bit mundane.
Disliked: There's nothing intrinsically wrong with this fetish. It has useful abilities, and is themed appropriately. It's also tied into Golarion very well.
However, when all the flavor is stripped away, we're left with a few unexciting static bonuses and darkvision. Not very Superstar.
Final Thoughts: There's a lot to like here, but you played it too safe with your abilities. Next year don't be afraid to take risks and consider abilities that let a player do things they have never been able to do before.
Boots, Tower
Thank you for the comments Bryan. I appreciate you recognizing some of subtleties in the boots - which unfortunately might have been too much like burying my lead (as they say in the advertising world). Your point about these being seen as a joke item is something I hadn't even considered, but will definitely keep in mind for next year.
