Pawn assesses the value of items for you to make it easy to decide which items are better than others. It's similar in purpose to mods such as Tank Points, but completely customizable, and applicable to any class and situation. You can use it to help create multiple gear sets, or decide whether to take that weapon with higher DPS or the one with more crit rating, or decide between a necklace with MP5 and one with bonus healing.
Pawn is a mod for hardcore World of Warcraft players—you may not like it if you're not the sort of person who agonizes over stats and itemization. You can use premade Pawn "scale tags" that other people make and post on forums to set up Pawn for your spec without any extra effort. And, if you're the kind of person who goes through Wowhead and Lootzor looking for exactly the items you want for your gear sets, builds Excel spreadsheets, installs TheoryCraft, reads Elitist Jerks... well, Pawn might just be right up your alley.
See the Pawn readme file included with the mod for more information on getting the most out of Pawn.

Change Log - Pawn
Version 1.1.4
* Fixed a bug where, on the Compare tab, meta sockets would appear under the "socket bonus" heading instead of the "sockets" heading.
* Enchantments that are on enchanters' rings when you are not an enchanter (the ones that appear in red) will no longer appear with asterisks (*).
* Armor penetration rating on new Wrath of the Lich King items will now be interpreted correctly.
Originally posted by Kazragore Is this version only for US/english or for german, french etc. too?
This version is for English only. There is an independent German translation (and a Chinese one too) available at WowUI.IncGamers.com, though I think it may not be updated for 3.0 yet.
(Hmmm, I know I responded to this already, but I don't see my post...)
I checked the beta last night, and the armor penetration on Onslaught Breastplate, Puissant Shadow Crystal, and the enhancement shaman S3 chest all seemed to work just fine. Can you give an example of what you mean?

Originally posted by Miaxi Just in case you didn't see it yet, there is an armor penetration rating in beta now. The old armor ignore stat doesn't do anything anymore.
Pawn 1.1 is here! This version works fully on both the live realms and Wrath of the Lich King. Besides the Wrath compatibility and support for new types of items, the big change in this version is the Compare tab. Right-click on an item link window or an item being rolled for, or hover over an item in someone's inventory and press "]", and Pawn will give you a stat-by-stat breakdown of the two items, and clearly show you which one is better based on your selected scale.
I've posted Pawn 1.1 beta 1 on this site and on CurseForge. Beta 1 is the first fully Wrath-compatible version of Pawn, and fixes all known UI and functionality bugs related to WoW 3.0 and the expansion. Special thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports so problems could be fixed early before I got my key, and a big special thanks to WoWInterface and the admins for getting me into the Wrath beta!
Thanks for the screenshots; they're really helpful. I'll get the problems with the unrecognized frost and shadow stats fixed for the next alpha, and see what I can do about that invisible text.
No more error and I can scroll through the list and edit the entries but the text still doesn't appear. Also, the converted shadow spelldamage doesn't get recognized.
Originally posted by Mev I cant see the Compare tab. has this option been removed?
The Compare tab is in Pawn 1.1, which is currently in alpha and should progress to a beta release in a few days (depending on when I get my Wrath key!). It works on the live realms if you want to try it out. It's currently only available at CurseForge...
