There's a comic book character that resembles this item.
Lots of summoning rods etc... This year. I imagine a watering hole teeming with large mammals which is rapidly depleted by the use of summoning rods on both sides of a massive battle somewhere else on the inland seas. And watching twenty turns they all pop back burned, cut, magic missiled into smoking carcasses while the dire vultures bow to their wish gods before giving thanks and gorging themselves.
I had to read that twice before I realized it wasn't an erotic body part! Stick to common words people. Fancy words don't equal superstar.
yep. Had a Bevis chuckle when I saw it.
I would leave some of these items behind if found. J/K! Vender Trash!!!
Are cursed items here? I think some people forgot to put positive effects... lol
Item with drawback vs item with drawback.
Self poisoning weapon showdown
Ah HA. This must be (one of?) the... "euphemistic" staff(s?) everyone is (are?) implying about.
Love the chuck and catch up concept!
Someone please tell me what the obsession with negating attacks is? Some of these items totally strike me as 250 word versions of "Nuh-Uh!"
That material is from that other franchise.
Negating can be as powerful as a plus eleven item in the right circumstance, especially in a large party.
Ugh. I feel like the description of this item was more like I asked the author what the item did over a frothy adult beverage.

I get why players want items that give them the special abilities of classes that aren't their own, but I think that's exactly why designers shouldn't be giving it to them.
As epitomized by Weird Al... "Word Crimes." Enough said. Down vote for you.
Hey, finally, a really cool shield!
Hahahaha! Well done, Item. That construction requirement made me laugh. You may not believe me, but my current character does have something along those lines.
We shall see who the evil Jeff is, paladins are just shiny zealots who liked to play football in High school, and their Int stats wouldn't let the into college.I didn't say "evil Jeff." I said "other Jeff." That's how I refer to everyone named Jeff who isn't me. It's to remind everyone who the original is.
Wait...am I evil Jeff? lol

In my experience most Jeffs are at least a little evil.
Hahaha, super funny commentary on the state of roman church, very insightful and super laugh laden!

There are two Jeffs in my gaming group, and I believe this is correct.

Phew, saw my item finally, getting worried there.
Ahh munchkin sword! I was wondering where you were hiding.
I just saw one of those, too. I think the only thing it was missing was +5, but I think then it would have been that Hackmaster +12 someone was looking for just now.
Wow, that item would lead to an expansion in the capabilities of fine arts sculptors and cartographers, and bring a form of air show to the shire they hadn't seen before! Up. Toe biggie!
This year has forced me to face an unpleasant reality: I acknowledge I am evidently predisposed to vote against anything related to a summoner class feature.
I can't in good conscience vote for an item with that profession as a requirement.

One of the parts of being a superstar is knowing what spells are necessary for the making of your item. I know that comes up every year, but really, if you don't know what spells, materials, or feats are necessary to make your item, you should not enter your item. "All necessary spells" is not acceptable and yet there are several again this year. If you made this mistake, please read the "critique my item" threads and consider entering your own for feedback.

It's come up so often I've been wondering if it was actually a standard I didn't know about. Like, it gives me cause for self-doubt because of how widespread it is.
Whoa. I actually saw something I liked. Single spell requirement, interesting and applicable use. Expensive but worth it for the effect. Not something I'd plan to purchase, but would consider keeping from loot.
I expect to see you in January.

It is not, it makes me sad that there are some pretty neat things that fail this part of the test. I hope that the designers who have done this come back to the table and are able to learn how to take the available spells and tweak them for their items next year. There have been some decent ideas that I just cannot vote for because they do not have the necessary crafting requirements fulfilled.

I think it's more a case of "I loaded this thing with so many spells, if I re-list them all in the construction requirements as I'm supposed to, I'll go over my word count."

Did Garrett Guillotte make an item that requires Profession (hairstyling) again?

Haven't seen one like that, but really if your item involves a profession so much that it needs to be tied into its rules, it probably shouldn't be a weapon, armour, shield, ring, rod or staff.
Some of these items look like they were inspired by "50 Shades of Grey".

Indeed, whips, chains, and rods
A... Are those spells!?

Hooray, found my item! I even got to vote for it with a clear conscience!
Here's an item that does kind of what the item I almost submitted does, except much less convoluted!
Really could've used running by a proofreader, though.
