Welcome one and all to the Voting thread for the eleventh Pathfinder Grab Bag Competition! We have four wonderful entries for you to peruse over and only one will end up taking home the gold!

Now, the way the voting for this competition works is as follows:

• You receive five votes to cast.
• The first three votes are to be given to the entries that you believe should come in first, second and third place respectively. First place votes are worth seven points, second place three points and third place one point each. Keep in mind that such choices should go to the entries that you believe fit most closely to the given concept of the contest and not just the entries you like the most.
• The fourth vote is to be given to the entry that you believe is "Most Likely to See Play". This vote is cast for the entry that you could see yourself allowing as a DM or you could see yourself wanting to and being allowed to play at an actual game session by your DM.
• The fifth vote is to be given to the entry that you believe is the "Most Unique". This vote is cast for the entry that you least expected to see made for this competition and that stands out the most compared to it's peers.
• You may apply all types of votes to the same entry (but you of course cannot select the same entry for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place), but doing this does not better the chances of that entry winning anymore than if you selected three separate entries.
• Once you make your vote, that's final. You can not take it back or change it. The first vote I see and tally on the scoreboard is how it will be until the end of the voting period.
• Entrants are allowed to vote and can vote for their own entries if they so wish.
• Please give reasoning for why you selected an entry as the recipient of any of your votes.
• Please Bold your choice for each vote.
• In the case of any ties I will cast the tiebreaker vote.

The voting will remain open through May 23rd and the winners will be declared May 24th.

[SamBurke]

1: Gallows Ghost. LOVING this because of the likelihood that I would run a creepy encounter or something like that based on the template.

2: Master of Missiles. Gotta love the old school feel, and the blend of fluff and crunch.

3: Mason. Don't see a lot of Wizard Subschools made, and that makes it unique and interesting.

Most Likely To See Play: Dimensional Dervish. I'd want to play it. It's boring, in my opinion, but in a way that offers appropriately-leveled power.

Most Unique: While I LOVED the Gallows Ghost for this, I ultimately went with the Mason.

1. Gallows Ghost - Pretty much exactly what Sam said; this is a great example of a template that just makes you want to use it.
2. Deepcaster - It's a shame this had to go here instead of first; something this big deserves its own thread and a lot of polish, which it just didn't have.
3. Mason - This is the kind of super-specialist that there should really be more of.

• MLTSP: Gallows Ghost - Not just likely, if you understand what I'm saying. ;) I'm going to be modifying a few of the ghosts in the Carrion Crown game I'm running with this template.
• MU: Mason - Even among the homebrew community, I'd never seen anything just focused on building... buildings, basically. Other things too, but mostly buildings.

1st - Deepcaster. It was a big undertaking, and looks solid and interesting.
2nd - Dimensional Dervish. I love the idea, but I think it looks a little overpowered.
3rd - Mason. Because I could have so much fun with that.
MLTSP - Scorching Mage, because that's my favorite 2nd level spell, too.
MUE - Deepcaster, 'cuz... dayum.

1st: Deepcaster. I love this, it's flavorful, very interesting and has a unique but solid casting system.
2nd - Gallows Ghost. A fun, creepy template that begs you to use it for a memorable monster.
3rd - Mason. I like the sub-schools, it's also a fun way to make a conjurer who is more focused on battlefield control than on summoning or teleportation.
MLTSP - Gallows Ghost. Mainly because I would totally use this in one of my campaigns for a creepy encounter.
MUE - Deepcaster. I definitely did not expect this entry. It stands out among the rest for being a full system with archtypes, feats and numerous class features.

[SamBurke]

Just pointing out that there are *3* votes for Most Unique Entry to Deepcaster, (Whitefox, Alchemyst, and gr8artist), and none for the Dimensional Dervish.

It should be:

Mason (3)
Deepcaster (3)
Gallows Ghost (2)

If I counted correctly:
Me, Wombat, Whitefox, Alchemyst, Gr8Artist, DawnbringerSO, ITookUrNick, and Ogausu are the only people who have voted. If there are 9 votes for MUE, something derped up.

Something hiccuped during the editing process. It's been corrected.
