[QUOTE="blargney, post: 611064, member: 2689"] Sweet. I'll do this every year - I wanted to give them a way to measure their progress, and this fits the bill beautifully! I'll include challenges of all types - obstacle courses with traps, scavenger hunts requiring research, puzzles and riddles, competitive games, a monster sparring ladder, and a duelling tourney. I really like the idea of making them realize the value of [i]Magic Weapon[/i] against creatures with DR... More contest/test ideas: fire-walking, maybe a marksmanship contest, obstacle courses with [i]invisible[/i] obstacles (I have a fun mental image of everyone running headlong into an invisible wall!), team challenges where co-ordination and timing is essential, like flipping several levers in a specific order, another to retrieve a guarded object with harmless traps all around where the team loses points for every member that is caught. Off the top of my head, I'll need a few clerics on hand with [i]cure[/i] spells pre-cast to minimize the death rate, spectators from all over (adventure hooks galore, especially with the pet shoppe I mentioned above!), a trophy for the winning school, and some nifty prizes to give to the winners of individual competitions. I was thinking a bard-crafted Wand of Cure Light Wounds would be a really good prize for a wizard! (I know it's not on the wizard spell list, but if it's made by an arcane caster, it's close enough for me!) Other prizes could be some masterwork miscellaneous items that could be enchanted later on. This is fun! :) -blarg [/QUOTE]
