4e Banquet Jouster Stats

[nayrelgof]

The adventure seems to indicate there is an appendix with jousting stats, but I don't see one. Am I missing something?

Secondly, for Test of Strength, it's supposed to be possible for both a hero and Sting Watchall to strike the bell. Doing so requires 25 damage in one blow, and a hero could pull that off, but it seems like only a daily would have a good shot at it. Sting Watchall has no chance at all (Attack +18, Strength 22 (+6 modifier)). A strength check seems like a better fit. Any thoughts?

I ad libbed the jousting stats when I ran the game. I believe I had the participants make melee basic attacks to reflect using a lance; if one hit and the other missed, the one who hit wins. The joust continued until one hit and one missed. I think I also had some options for the jousters finishing in hand-to-hand combat, but abandoned that as being against the spirit of the joust.

I didn't use the Test of Strength, but yeah, a Strength check sounds like it would make more sense.
