I'd say give it another day, and if no one votes by tomorrow call it and start the next one.
EDIT: You never did link the classes to the table. I suppose it doesn't matter now...
He didn't say he was going to call it early - just start the new contest so people can start making ideas and working.
I say start it whenever you're ready. I look forward to seeing the new theme.

Either or.
Just make sure that either way you make it, the class is expanding on the capabilities of the item. If it's a core Holy Avenger, make that sword do AWESOME things. If it's a homebrewed item such as a necklace that grants the ability to use detect thoughts at will, then abilities such as telepathy based psilike abilities make a lot of sense. Either way, the item is the source of the class's power in a large and very real way.

Re: GitP PrC Contest Chat Thread IV
Hm, would mundane items be okay? I started working on a class based on using Shapesand a few days ago.

Given that sentence, I suspect that the item may be a homebrew one. That said, how specific does the item need to be? Does any of a given specific item work? A specific of a wide selection of items? Any item that meets a certain prerequisite (such as weapons that are enchanted to deal fire damage)?

I'm unfamiliar with shapesand, but umm... yeah, why not. At the end of the day it is going to be a fantastic item of some type right? So long as it fits under the auspice of an item creation feat that isn't potion or scroll or their psionic equivalents (tattoos and stones).

Yes, it definitely can be a homebrew item that you've created yourself specifically for the contest. Any given item will work, just make sure that the class expands upon the abilities of the item as the class's features. Another good example from comic books would be a Green Lantern power ring, Iron Man's armor, or the Witchblade from the comic of the same name.

Re: GitP PrC Contest Chat Thread IV
Dude, ErrantX. Dude. Seriously. Dude.
This contest is exactly what I wanted. The PrC I had in mind for the previous one actually fits way better for this one.
So Djinn.
*staredown*
You and me man.
You.
And me.

Shapesand is an alchemical item from Sandstorm.
I've actually got a couple ideas for this one though, so if it's not okay I can still make an entry.

No, that's fine. Go to it. We're about inspiring creativity with a theme, and that's what has come to mind, then do it! :smallbiggrin:

Re: GitP PrC Contest Chat Thread IV
Does the class require the item to enter it, or can the item be created in the course of the class progression?
Does it have to be a specific magic item, or can it be a mundane item that acts as a focus for your abilities, which all take effect on the item itself?

1) So long as the character has it at 1st level of the prestige class, either getting it, making it, or possessing it previous to entering the class is up to you.
2) It does have to be a specific item, but the rest is up to you. It can be a focus, the features could buff the item, or the item can buff you. Whichever!

What am I, chopped liver? I'll take you both on and bind your souls into Shadesteel!
Errant, I must express sorrow in your banning of one-use items for this class. Can you not imagine some foul, loathsome coven of witches whose potions draw on the drinkers' iniquities, turning their vices into secret strength? Or something like the Candle Caster, from the old Tome and Blood supplement? An order of Artificers hunting for the Perfect Scroll? A society of chefs who believe in a recipe that will grant the one who eats it godhood?
Myself, though? I intend on basing mine around a classic, low-cost item from the SRD - something anyone can afford, but not everyone appreciates. We'll see how it goes.

Re: GitP PrC Contest Chat Thread IV
Dibs on ioun stones.
@ Lord_Gareth: Bag of Holding?
EDIT: or robe of many pockets? If not, I want to do that one too. SO MANY CHOICES!

Make a magic cauldron that makes potions for you that does that. Or a magical quill pen for awesometastic scroll making.

My item is none of those. Indeed, it holds a special place in my heart.

Re: GitP PrC Contest Chat Thread IV
Dibs on Helm of Brilliance. Not that anyone else was likely to do it, but I'm calling dibs. The resulting class looks like a paladin but shinier.

Re: GitP PrC Contest Chat Thread IV
Well, that's annoying. Something similar to my idea has already been done. I'll try something else.

Re: GitP PrC Contest Chat Thread IV
I am so tempted to make a joke class based on Boots & Cloak of Elvenkind, which turn you into an elf...

While that is a funny idea, I try to push people away from making joke classes (at least deliberately-made-to-be joke classes, tongue in cheek is alright). I've DQ'd people for it. Just be forewarned.

Re: GitP PrC Contest Chat Thread IV
Well, after an almost-2-year break from homebrewing (my last 'brew was for Base Class Challenge IV :smallfrown:) I finally have the time to get back into the swing of things. This contest seems like a good place to start. :smallcool:
So, I have a few different ideas in mind. Of the following items, which would everyone rather see a PrC based on?
- vorpal sword/sword of sharpness
- ring of shooting stars
- Quall's feather tokens
- Nystul's marvelous pigments
- apparatus of Kwalish
