Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
Honestly I say we should create an "inherited Template" that we use for the competitions. One for animals, vermin, plants, oozes, undead, and constructs. One that we throw in the description of the future Competitions in the future as a spoilered thing.
Spoiler: Awakened Creature
"Awakened Creature" is an inherited template that can be applied to any Animal, Ooze, Vermin, Undead, Plant, or Construct with Intelligence 2 or less.
An Awakened Creature uses all the base creature's statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
An awakened Animal has it's intelligence set to 10, gains +2 charisma, and +2 Hit Dice. It's type changes to Magical Beast [Augmented Animal]
someone help me flesh that out?

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
Another question: Any erratas I should be aware of that could turn up important?

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
Depends on the book
MM3 had a heavy amount of errata for the monsters within.
MM2 had a full update for every monster for the 3.5 rules.
Fiend Folio just updated crafting costs and DR for the monsters, creating a few oddities.Kolyarut Avatar by Potatocubed.

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
And where best to look for those? I've tried, especially for MM1, but kept getting redirected to V ed.

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
There's an archive with most of the errata and 3.5 updates here, though off the top of my head it's missing the Monsters of Faerun update from the PGtF Web Enhancment, and perhaps a handful of others.
As far as MMI goes, I think that d20srd is up to date, unless you're worried about product identity stuff.Last edited by WhamBamSam; 2018-03-30 at 08:30 PM.

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
I'm sorry for being late, this is taking considerably longer than what I though and I haven't found as much time to get to it as I expected. I am currently judging the Elegance category, and am done with 8 builds out of 13. However, I expect it to be the longest category to judge of them all, so I'm not losing hope

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
Dunno...a duo of villains seems cool. I rather liked the whole list that was tossed around at some point.
Ah, yes, I also had another idea: the McGuffin villain. The idea is to have a villain built around a specific McGuffin. The PCs must absolutely prevent it from getting its hands on the McGuffin/ find and use the McGuffin in order to defeat the villain/ other. Either the villain does not know where the McGuffin is (in which case it has to be good at detection) or knows and hides it (it must be competent at keeping the PCs at bay) or maybe another way around it. Then, the villain has a crippling weakness to said McGuffin, or maybe becomes unbelievably powerful if it manages to get its hands on it, etc etc. Since a lot of campaigns resort to a McGuffin at some point or another, that'd be a round full of very useful and applicable villains for a lot of DMs I thinkVC XV, The horsemen are drawing nearer: The Alien and the Omen (part 1 and part 2).

I think McGuffin villain would be a pretty interesting concept. Villain seeking to be reunited with their lost item is a real classic.Kolyarut Avatar by Potatocubed.

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
Sorry folks, I'm not done yet, and I haven't given up either. Tell you what: let's start the next comp by the end of the week, regardless of whether I'm done or not, so as not to let things drag on too much. How about that Inevitability?

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
I would like to make an announcement:
I have chaired this competition for some time now, and while it's been great seeing the creative and diverse builds people came up with, I do find myself wishing I could participate again. For that reason, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to take over the mantle of chair.
I will obviously still be finishing up this competition once a judge presents themselves (if there's multiple people who want to chair, perhaps the one to present judgements gets to?). The new chair could start the next round before that, of course.
I'd also like to thank all competitors, judges, or fans for being involved in this competition. The reason it's awesome is because of you.Creator of the LA-assignment thread.

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
while i do love building for VC, I'd be willing to chair it so you can get in on the action as well. I'd probably need a little info on how to do your job though :)

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
Well basically it amounts to:
1. Making a new thread every so often. I just copy basically everything from the old one, add a few relevant details, and occasionally update the rulings.
2. Receive builds as they are submitted. Very easy: just inform people you received their build.
3. Answer questions. Most of the time these will be 'would doing X cause me to lose points in category Y' and most of the time the answer will be 'that is up to individual judges'.
4. Post builds after deadline has passed, maybe with witticisms.
5. Reveal builds after judging. Same as before, basically.
All in all, it's not a particularly hard job.Creator of the LA-assignment thread.

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
ok :)
I'm currently in book hell making a submission for JYW's. Once I'm done w/ that, assuming no one else wishes to chair, I'll work with you to get the next round going and take over from there.

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
Is it possible for the chair to judge our entries? I'd hate for there to have never been a judge, and with it being Inevitability's last time for the foreseeable future as chair, I think it would be appropriate that he can judge this one if he wants to.

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
I still have 4 entries to deal with in Power, and then all of Memorability. And then, some formatting and harmonizing.
I takes me about an hour to deal with one category of one entry. Judges, is that normal? I've worked about 35 hours on that judgement already...VC XV, The horsemen are drawing nearer: The Alien and the Omen (part 1 and part 2).

Re: Villainous Competition XXV: No Solicitors!
I agree.
Unless the entries are REALLY complicated I spend around 10 minutes on Power and Elegance each, and 5-10 on the other 2 eachish.....
Of course, if you have to look uop a lot this goes up massively.A neutron walks into a bar and says, “How much for a beer?” The bartender says, “For you? No charge.”

Later: An atom walks into a bar an asks the bartender “Have you seen an electron? I left it in here last night.” The bartender says, “Are you sure?” The atom says, “I’m positive.”
