GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread III

[The Glyphstone]

As long as your sadness is private, as discussion of banned posters is forbidden, even here. Cough cough.

[Cheesy74]

Is there any conflict in the manager of the competition having an entry in said competition? I guess the voting is over the entire forum, but it still feels a bit odd.

[The Glyphstone]

The previous manager only actually mattered if there was a tiebreaker necessary - future contests, I won't be submitting an entry though for that exact reason. Let's hope there isn't a tie this month.

[Debihuman]

Without Vorpal Tribble, do we have a replacement for the PEACHING of the contests? I generally relied on him for the epic and as back-up.

Debby :-(

[SlaadLord]

I can PEACH if you need a hand.

[Debihuman]

Great, we need all the PEACHING help we can get for these contests.

Debby

[SlaadLord]

Righto.

'Stralian fast bowler: No problems as far as I can see.

Arcadian Shade: You forgot to list the Con bonus to hp. Unless I'm missing something, the save DC for Shaded Venom should only be 16. Is there a racial bonus to the DC I'm missing? Also, I'm sure this has been covered, but the thing is blasted near impossible to kill. Just sayin'.

Dullahanni: No problems as far as I can see.

Petranarch: Damn. That's kind of terrifying. Well done, and I see no problems here.

Knight of the Golden Court: I see no problems with the entry, as it's been pretty thoroughly picked over by now.

Heisenburchen: Also terrifying. Your personal stat block, Glyphstone? You are, after all, the Eldritch Horror in the Playground. Looks good to me, but would you kindly post a link or something to Spellcasting Harrier's description?

[The Glyphstone]

It's in the SRD, under Epic Feats. Here, if you still can't find it.



Also, note that less than 24 hours remain for last-minute changes or alterations.

@SlaadLord
Good catches, i'll edit it right away.

If someone is needed to take over running the contests, I'm willing to take up the mantle. Haven't been doing much of my own homebrew lately, but I could step in here if needed, although I'm a little less exact with my timing. I'm also decent with the PEACHing, although my specialty is definitely with PrCs.

After this one ends, of course. Glyphstone is more than welcome to see this through, as I hate picking things up half-way through.

[Debihuman]

Knight of the Golden Court: The armor of the court special ability should be EX not SU because it isn't affect by antimagic field. I don't mind some bending of the rules but you give no explanation for this.

Heisenburchen: Uncanny Dodge is missing from Combat Section.

Otherwise, I can't find anything else.

Okay, that is fine with me.

Offer accepted. Your eagerness to volunteer will be remembered when the End Times come.

Hooray! I will be devoured...first, I guess, so that the End Times are less terrible?

But yeah...I've got a few ideas up and running already, so that the transition should flow smoothly once this current contest has run its course.

Actually, just to check...will you finish this one off, Glyphstone? Or would you rather I do it?

[The Glyphstone]

I'll see this one through to the end.

[The Dark Fiddler]

Thought upon seeing this month's theme: Ooh, I could probably think up something...

But then I realized I'd have less than 24 hours to get it done. Oh well, hopefully I'll catch the next theme earlier in the contest.

[The Glyphstone]

And closed. Voting thread will go up tomorrow.

Voting poll is now available here.

It'll run until March 3rd, to give a 10-day voting period in line with other contests (stupid short February). Apologies to Unosarta for the truncation of the Knight of the Golden Court's name, but it was too many characters to be properly linked otherwise.

I was kind of confused, but don't worry. I swear, it happens every contest. Maybe the names I give my creatures are just really long?

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

Just a heads up...I'm making us a new Chat thread so I can update the original post. It's located here.

[DracoDei]

Hatespawn:

but must have at least one Infernal Monster maneuver of its highest available level at all times.

Does this mean KNOWN, or readied/expended? As it stands a rules lawyer type interpritation might be "known, readied, and can't be expended if it is the only Infernal Monster maneuver of that level, because then it wouldn't be readied any more.".

Also, if you first introduce this thing at level 5, it might quickly become a "just make a new character" monster after a few deaths... wait... what am I thinking... prisons, Stone to Flesh, etc etc etc. any character that can't figure how to trap it without killing it (at least with some thinking help from the rest of the party) deserves it...

Actually, now that I think of it, it doesn't seem like the sort of thing to deal well with swimming oceans or booking passage on a ship. You should probably make it so it usually drowns itself trying to swim the ocean, and then comes back with the Amphibious quality.

Ahem. DracoDei? This. ^^

[Debihuman]

Post removed and put in correct thread. Doh!

Debby

[Sir Shadow]

*cough* Debi. *Points to the post above yours*

[Debihuman]

Sorry, I'll repost in the correct thread. This thread should probably be locked if we're not going to use it any more.
