GitP PrC Contest Chat Thread IV

[Zelkon]

I doubt I'll be able to make it in time...

[Lord_Gareth]

Just have one more part of my class to polish off and they're done!

Incidentally, for those of you who are wondering, I gave the class seven levels in honor of the famous Seven-League Boots.

[Cheesy74]

Am I still allowed to make modifications to my class until the "contest closed" thing goes out, or am I done since it's past the 20th?

[PairO'Dice Lost]

Aaaand the Artificer of Kwalish squeaks in at the last minute, or possibly past it. The flavor parts at the end and the Modifications aren't as polished as I'd like, but it occurred to me right as I was starting on them that usually midnight means EST for these contests, and since I no longer live on the East Coast I don't actually have three more hours to polish them off.

[Morph Bark]

Meanwhile, I've gotten stuck on my item, as I wanted to make both a new item and a PrC, then halfway realized that it was rather complicated (requiring several new skills and a feat as well) and the set-up of the item itself likely wouldn't be too popular. As such, it's taking too long just for the item itself, and I'll simply post it later outside of the contest.

[ErrantX]

Contest is closed as of last night at midnight, I'll be reviewing them today and posting a voting thread. Likely a new contest as well if I'm feeling super froggy. I would have done it last night, but I just worked 4 straight 12 hour shifts and I wanted to throw myself bodily at my bed with intent to knock the consciousnesses from my form.

Keep your eyes peeled for voting, and great entries folks, this was a tricky contest I know and you all definitely performed.

[Cheesy74]

I made some minor formatting changes the morning of the deadline - I hope that won't be an issue.

[MoleMage]

Any hints as to the next contest?

[Cheesy74]

So, uh, voting thread...

[ErrantX]

So, uh, voting thread...

Ask and ye shall receive.... VOTE NOW!

Sorry, I was late

Next contest coming up soon!

[ErrantX]

And... the new contest is... (predictably)

GitP Prestige Class Contest XXXV: The Last Harvest!

Halloween is fast approaching us here, and let's face it, most of us love candy and the chance to get into costumes and go out and about. So here's the chance for your D&D character to do it too!

Make a class that draws inspiration from Halloween or something from legends, stories and myths surrounding it. Be mindful and respectful of forum rules where applicable, but get into it. Undead, witches, monsters, ghosts and spirits, costumes and candy, you name it. Get to it!

[Lord_Gareth]

Argh, you punk! Where am I going to go with this?

[bindin garoth]

Hmmmmm............

Might have a good idea for the next contest. I'll have to think about it some more first though.

[sirpercival]

Ask and ye shall receive.... VOTE NOW!

Sorry, I was late

Next contest coming up soon!

I take it you're not supposed to vote for yourself? Lol.

[Zelkon]

I take it you're not supposed to vote for yourself? Lol.

You can. But then people don't like you.

[sirpercival]

You can. But then people don't like you.

That's what I said! (Notice I didn't ask if you were allowed.)

[Felyndiira]

I think I'm going to get started on this one early so I don't end up losing motivation as I start my standard procrastination cycle.

Dibs on Witch Hunter.

A question though - once we have a basic idea fleshed out, are we allowed to reserve additional posts for lists (maneuver lists, additional mechanic lists, etc.), or is that not allowed as well?

[MoleMage]

Something ghostly if I do make one. Maybe Warlock themed.

[Zelkon]

Going to do something warlocky. Or perhaps duskblade? Going to have something to do with enchanting pumpkins.

[sirpercival]

Trying to decide between something amusing/kitschy, and something genuinely spooky.

[TheGeckoKing]

The competition theme seems perfect for a Shadowcaster PrC. Now, if I could just think of a theme......

[NekoIncardine]

... Of course, with the nature of Halloween in pop cultures these days, all sorts of weird things could become justifiable.

I'm going to go for my first entry to the contests this time around, and I am definitely going to aim for the sillier side of things (but not a 'joke class' - it'll be something playable in real gameplay).

[Lord_Gareth]

Alright folks, once again I need help settling on a concept - but with a slight twist: I'm throwing out an open challenge for someone to create one of the concepts I propose here (obviously not the one I'm doing) without changing its name. Garnering more votes than whatever I make is worth one free PEACH, regardless of how freaking busy I may or may not be.

Without further ado, the concepts on the table (that I need help choosing between, and that are open for a challenger to take up) are:

The Sisterhood of the Scourged Flesh studies loss, in its many forms. These roaming knights study grief and sorrow, pain and absence and starvation. Conferring with cursed souls and undead beings, they seek to make friends with pain so that it can never be forced upon them, and in the meantime wrack their enemies with foul curses of starvation and physical need that eventually curdle into spells of maddening grief and terror.

Curates of the Consecrated attend upon bones - the bones of saints, martyrs, heroes, and holy men. Knowing full well that both greedy adventurers and the forces of evil seek the corpses of those who died for the forces of justice and honor, the Curates seek out such buried heroes and become the living guardians of their remains, incorporating the sacred relics of these saints into their regalia and drawing power from the honored spirits of the saints they guard.

The Wastrel Witches are a whimsical bunch. They make candy, they say, as though it's the be-all and end-all of what they do. Though it is true, to an extent - the Wastrels (and Waifs, and Vagabonds, and....) travel from place to place, distilling their spells into highly magical candies that unleash their effects on those who eat them - often with incredible enhancements. What is the actual goal of this order? Only the Witches themselves know, and they aren't talking.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

[PairO'Dice Lost]

Gotta love Halloween contests. I already have an idea for this one, though it still needs some fleshing out. Don't want to give too much away, but I will say that it's going to involve artificing and/or incarnum, and it would be either best friends or bitter rivals with Lord_Gareth's Wastrel Witches, if milord decides to do that one or someone else takes up the challenge.

[MoleMage]

I'll take Lord_Gareth's challenge! But I won't vote on what he picks since I'd bias it so that I get the idea I wanted from him.

[Lord_Gareth]

Oh no, by all means, stake a claim. I'll choose from what's left.

[MoleMage]

In that case:

Curates of the Consecrated attend upon bones - the bones of saints, martyrs, heroes, and holy men. Knowing full well that both greedy adventurers and the forces of evil seek the corpses of those who died for the forces of justice and honor, the Curates seek out such buried heroes and become the living guardians of their remains, incorporating the sacred relics of these saints into their regalia and drawing power from the honored spirits of the saints they guard.

I'd like to try my hand at this.

[Lord_Gareth]

Very well! Now I have only the Sisterhood and the Wastrel Witches to choose from, unless a second challenger would like to take that choice from me in the next 48 hours.

[sirpercival]

OK I have my idea. This is going to be glorious.
