This is the voting thread for the eighteenth 5e base class contest Contest XVIII: Expect a Low Margin of Terror (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?641461-D-amp-D-5e-Base-Class-Contest-XVIII-Expect-a-Low-Margin-of-Terror-II-(Submission-Thread))!
The rules are simple. Vote for your top three picks, in order. You can't vote for yourself. A number 1 vote is worth 3 points, a number 2 vote is worth 2, and a number 3 vote is worth one. You can (and are encouraged) to vote even if you didn't submit an entry this time around.
You can also suggest or vote on what you would like the next contest's theme to be. Currently in the suggestion box are Dragons, Heroes from Myths, Other Media, and Breakfast Cereal Mascots, and Not In Kansas Anymore, but don't feel as though you need to limit your suggestions to those themes; a larger pool means more options to vote on next time. I'm also going to allow votes for any theme that hasn't been used for at least six contests (so right now that adds The Elements, Doesn't Meet Expectations, Chill Out, Remix Mastery, Magic Without Slots, It's Time for Time, Blast from the Past, Signature Creation, and Hybrid Vigor). If you missed a contest or had another idea for a previous theme, you may get your chance again!

Themes:
The voting period will be three weeks, ending at the end of the day on April 3rd. The following day I will tally these results and declare a winner. Note: I anticipate being unable to post directly on April 4th due to travel. The contest voting will stay open until I am able to call it; if you get your vote in before I declare a winner, your vote is valid. If I can post April 4th I will, however.
For the curious, the tiebreakers I will be using are:
1st tiebreaker is whether both participants voted. If one did not, they lose the tie.
2nd tiebreaker is total number of 1st place votes. The entry which got more 1st place votes will win the tie.
There is no 3rd tiebreaker. If both entrants voted and both entries reached their total score with the same number of 1st place votes, the tie will stand.
