In your opinion, what is the BEST and WORST magic item in 3.5e D&D?
Rules:
Limit of 1 entry per member (1 best item, and 1 worst item per member). You may post your entires as two seperate posts (1 for the best, 1 for the worst), or post both entries in a single post. You may not substitute (i.e. you can't submit 2 best items, you are limited to 1 of each even if you don't submit both).
Ring of Wishes and other items that grant wishes or other god-like abilities are not allowed. Clarification: Anything that grants the following spells or spell-like abilities or effects are banned: Wish, Geas/Lesser Gear, Quest, or Miracle.
No EPIC magic items allowed
If the item in question is not available on the SRD, post a general description of what it is/does, and what book it is from (must be from a Wotc sanctioned book).
No Artifacts, Relics, or other "one of a kind" type items.
For each item, include your reasoning why it is the best/worst item (your reasoning will weigh heavily in the judging process).
If you violate any of the above rules you give permission for all forum members to mock you for all eternity for not reading a simple list of rules.
If you need to change your entries, edit the original post - do not post a new reply. Once you have edited the post, put up a reply stating you have updated it. This is to prevent me getting confused when I setup the polls for it later.
You may not enter an item that has already been submitted by another player for the same category (i.e. you couldn't submit Wand of Magic Missiles for the best item if somebody else did, but you could submit it for the Worst item if it hasn't been submitted yet, etc).
You may not submit your own crafted item idea (too much room for munchkinism if you do that...creating a staff that can cast 50 different spells, for example).
Forum members will be allowed to vote on the best/worst item once enough submissions have been received (aiming for 10 of each).
Judging will be based on a variety of factors, including:
-Creativity
-Utility/Applicability/Variety of usage or purpose (larger utility = higher value)
-How much you brown nose everybody that is voting
-Limits on usage (including requirements such as level/race to use, less restrictions = higher value)
-Your Reasoning (better reasoning why it is the best/worst = higher value)
Whoever wins gets bragging rights.
