Wonder if I'll become dedicated or see my item first. So far, I have voted on one item 9 times in different pairings.

I feel sorry for you, saw my item within the first 5 pairs and again before I hit 50 votes. Both times it was up against really bad items = ill tidings.

That's some meta stuff bro. Super meta.

Downvote.

I've seen a large number of items which will let my character re-roll d20s based on interacting with the item. Now my character just needs a reason to roll d20s.

The "PF is too anime" people are gonna have a field day with this one.

[Jarrett Sigler]

Cursed Item V.S. "F how combat turns work, I have blue hair" item.

[Wrathgar_The_Warlord]

Damn the large cat references are plentiful!

[Wrathgar_The_Warlord]

I love it in concept but that price is so beyond its worth.

[PathlessBeth]

So it's an Evil item which is Evil to use and was made by Evil methods...care to elaborate? What's Evil about it? Apparently not. It's just generically Evil, Evil, EVil, EVIl, EvIL, EVIL, eVIL, and wow, you managed to fill up exactly 300 words just repeatedly telling me your item is eViL. So what does it actually do?

Why so many? I have surpassed my numbers from any previous competition. And I don't think I am even 250 votes yet...

Using flipmats for combat is just too convenient. Let's make an item that makes that harder.

My personal guess? There are three whole sourcebooks not allowed, and two of them possess lockdowns on certain themes—technology and "psionics"/psychics.

If I had to guess I'd say that a lot of people missed the part about not straying from the PRD. Or maybe they thought their's was the exception. Or maybe they don't know that there is a difference between the PRD and the PFSRD.

Complicating it even more, material outside the PRD was allowed for "Lore" or "fluff" but not for "mechanics". In some cases that turns the bright line into a grey area that writers blundered too far into.

I know I missed it with my first item. And then on my second item too. Thank goodness I had a proofreader. Thanks Mike!

[Kobold Catgirl]

This item makes a joke in its last line. But it's still a pretty good item, so up it goes!

A pity the writer torpedoed his/her chances like that, though.

[michael patrick]

I generally find magic weapons to be boring. Some of them are good, but most are just "Make my character more powerful."

Most of the time if an item is "Sword of _________" I look over at the opposing item first.

[Jeff Harris 982]

hey, all the fighters want the "sword of cutting stuff, you know, the way that other swords do, but THIS magic sword does BETTER!"

[Liz Courts]

Removed some posts. Do not post anything that could be used to identify an item in the contest.

They ALL say that...until you read the fine print...

[Jeff Harris 982]

"only cuts things that are made out of cheese on Thursdays while the moon is full and you are wearing blue" Oh son of a...

[Donald Robinson]

Saw my item! Yay!

"This unholy charm is activated by cutting off your own genitalia and eating them. Then you get a +5 bonus to diplomacy checks"

If only I hand an endless supply of coffee, I could keep voting ...

Time was, that would totally have been worth a +5.

[Drejk]

Was that item written by a Pole or Lithuanian? Or had the author just read some history books?

I think it's a naming issue. "of" and "the" are weak words for item names (don't listen to propagandists that will tell you otherwise).

Some people really want to wear armor but hate armor check penalties so much.

[Drejk]

Yeah, let's pull the item price from <redacted>.

[Jeff Harris 982]

I love bagpipes (not snark, but here due to irony, most folk hate the pipes)

[Kobold Catgirl]

Oh, boy, someone really had faith that people would know the archaic definition of that word. Yikes.

[Robert Guthrie]

Aw, this joke item started out really funny but they dropped the joke halfway through the description. I am disappoint.

Sounds sooooo much like the begining of an infomercial

Do you love Armor but HATE having to put up with armor check penalties? They can make it harder to climb, swim, or even move efficiently.

[Kobold Catgirl]

So many items that make you good at swimming. Isn't that what apparatuses of the crab are for?

Sounds more like an excerpt from email spam.

It slices, it dices, it creates mounds of fries! But wait, there's more!

[Wrathgar_The_Warlord]

Awful lot of people trying to get into my mind.

[Drejk]

Blade vs blade.

[Wren Brown]

item that gives bonus only when you can't use it vs. item only usable by one boy in all the land

grrr.

I'm imagining Valeros hilariously tripping over ankle high objects in a slapstick fashion through a black and white filter.

pro-undead weapon vs anti-undead weapon

[Flanwaw]

Beware the item of 'less rules about boring things'. For those adventurers who don't care about anything but kickpunhing rolls.
