3 rods, 1 ring, 2 staffs, 2 weapons.
Whoa, your keep list is a lot smaller than mine. I think I'm pushing 20+.
It's not really my "Definitely Top 32" list, more my "Hey, that's neat!" list.

I've seen more items I liked, but this is more "maybe top 32" stuff. There's a gap between "That's cool" or "Nice! Clever!" and my keep list.

Filigree!!!
Yes I know what making something out of that special material does to it, but thank you for reminding me.
Look out Goliath, Davids got game. I up voted this one!
I did find the rhyme but still no reason
Even the ONE RING could be destroyed buy the right fire!
That's a neat idea but for that price I will just buy two of the thing it keeps me from losing.

...WTF? Why would you penalize one of the core features of the class that's probably using your item?!! That smacks so strongly of a drawback thrown in for drawback's sake, and is at complete thematic odds with everything else the item does to benefit the probable wielder!1

eta Ugh I was so disgusted by that I had to vote for the other item which I'd previously downvoted but COME ON

One of the things I am totally adverse to is an item that requires a number of strange arithmetic calculations to use, and then provides a trivial bonus or penalty (like +1 to hit or -1 to saving throws vs. fear). But that item is better than the boring, ill formatted item. But I hate the lots of mental energy for little gain trend (which even professional designers fall prey to) so much I would like to vote against this item even though it is technically the 'better' item. Such are the dilemmas of voting in RPG superstar.

Yeah, quite a bit of love for the militant druids. Gotta protect the forests, kids!

I find myself finishing the first of the pair thinking, “yeah, this one’s doomed,” then I read the other one and think “well, apparently not.”
Not yet, anyway.

I felt kind of dirty voting for it.
I've run into mine four (!) times now. Three times I voted for mine in complete good conscience and would stand by my vote even before a grand jury of my peers. The other time... I hesitated, and I really liked the other item, but I wasn't convinced it was any better or mine was any worse. Soooo I voted mine. I commend my soul to Gygax!

Mine was against an item that was probably slightly better, but I didn't want to rob my item of the one vote I could guarantee it.
I still feel bad though.

I think it's fairly forgivable. :P
