[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 67137, member: 111"] Hmmm.... I wonder how well a monk would do? Boots of speed and a monk's belt, along with +2 items for each save. (Well, as much as you can afford, anyway) Probably also take the save bonus feats. Very fast, very defensive. Would concentrate on getting the balls in the basket. Some item to help them be hard to target would help, also. It's pretty hard to survive a magical onslaught, the monk should be near the best for that part, anyway. 76 points? That's straight points, I assume, plus extras for 4th and 8th level? So you could have a monk, say, with: S: 10 (You need enough str to pick up a 100 lb ball) D: 20 Co: 18 I: 6 (Who needs skill points? - You get 2 for being human anyway) W: 18 Ch: 6 (Who cares if they don't like you?) Would that be legal? Actually I assume only one stat can be above 20 due to stat increases for 4th and 8th level, so I think it violates your rule. Anyway, that might have a chance in the arena. At least it should - you may want to look at limiting a few other things to preserve such a character having at least a chance: 1. Access to the balls and the net cannot be denied by walls of stone and the like (stopping a person in his tracks with hold person or something is okay, of course). Even surrounding a person with a circular wall of force or something might be allowed - providing: a. Nothing is left behind in the arena when you are done (that's a "modification" - see #2, below) b. Access to the balls and net are not denied - rather, the person cannot move to get to them, a different thing all together. 2. The arena may not be deformed or destroyed in whole or in part (the organizers will get [b][i]very[/i][/b][i][/i] upset). That should pretty much do it. I just like the idea of being able to win without combat. [/QUOTE]
