The (Bigger) Battle Of Wonder Sign up till 26/3

Post by I'mBob » Wed Mar 13, 2013 10:53 am

This is a small temporary D&D 3.5 game that will be around for 2~3 weeks, 4 max. This game is open for giving me time to finishing working on my next D&D campaign. also, the winner will get a guaranteed spot in my D&D game(If he wants). So why not to try?



As you might have guessed, this battle is related to the shield of wonder. Just that, every PC will have a shield of wonder. And that he can't remove it. So yeah, good luck.

The rules are:
You start as a level 5 character, with equipment worth no more than 5,000 GP. You can pick any class from the PHB, other classes must be first talked with me. Any race that have no level adjustment is available. (That includes monstrous races).
Note however, that the shield is permanently attached to your hand, giving you normal penalties and arcane spell failures APPLY. Think twice before picking a wizard... ;)
Multiclassing is okay.
Use 32 point but for stats.
Note that this is a battle-only, so you don't have to do skills (But you can, if you want too) and things like that.

Each arena will have 3-5 people (Depends on number of sign ups) and after every fight the winner will go to the finals. From which only 1 will win.

Everyone can sign up, no one get chosen randomly, no first come first get, just sign up.

I'm interested! Just one question: will we level up as we play? It may change the way I build.

Also, HD are rolled, half or full?

It is a single fight where eveyone has a Shield Of Wonder (SOW), just like in the comic. I doubt anyone will survive, but even if they did, exp is traditionaly awarded at the end, at which time this short example fight will be over.

A couple of forums ago, presumeably the GM, posted a SOW battle that he ran with his live d&d group, and it was an awesome read. So this time forumites get to try it. You might find the SOW 1-100 effects pages somewhere to get a sense of how crazy it can get.
I survived the forum move 4 times... yeah, I feel old.

Okay, Hexblade is allowed.

Oh yeah, HD...
This is the amount of HP you get based on your HD, before con modifier. (Add your CON modifier*5 to this amount)
14 for a d4 HD.
20 for a d6 HD
26 for a d8 HD
32 for a d10 HD
38 for a d12 HD

Yeah, but you better level him up to level 5 and buy him some equipment. You don't have to, though. But I would highly recommend. ;)

Yeah, interested. I just have to get into all the rules again, think of a clever char and then see how i might prepare myself for such an epic battle.
I am right when i assume
We keep all that happens to us in the battle between 'playoff' battles and final battle (most important SoW effects?)
Can we loot? I mean, when we are promoted to the finals, can we take what our opponents had with them?

How,when and most important how secret do we present our chars?

Edit: i guess this gives away some of my thoughts, but is the SoW considered to be wooden? ;-)

The effects from the SOW stay unless they can be removed and you wish them to be.
you present your char to everyone at the game beginning, but you must first show it to me. If you wish, you can keep secret the spells you made and things that are not normally visible. But not armor and things that are.
Looting is not possible.

Also, I don't think I mentioned it, but the battles will have NPC characters and creatures. To spice things up. Those wont have the SOW.

Make sure you have your char ready and sent to me by 20/3!

Hey. So far I got characters from only 2 of you. If any of you who didn't sent a complete character 9that includes you, odd) want some more time, he can ask me to be in the second round, meaning he have more time to make his character. Others need to send it by tomorrow.

Does that mean you are not playing, or that you want a time extension? You can send it a week after, so 27/3.

Oh guys...

if you knew how many nights and hours i sat on my char...
It has been a long time since i did a D&D build.

I was so looking forward to something BIG!
(I mean i would play even with a lot fewer players, but Bigger would be better in this setting)
Ah, well, then i think i will play this in our next D&D campaign also, would be a shame to waste all that effort ;-)

Nah. Not really. Time is of essence and even now I am wasting it when I should be sanding metal!

http://www.myth-weavers.com/forumhome.php this site, it allows creating character sheets and sharing them.
Please be as fast as possible with the character creation, I'm going to start on Tuesday, and probably only 1 battle.
