[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 6880279, member: 6801845"] I had multiple contests, trying to emphasize different skills. So for the eat something spicy and incredibly dry but don't drink, it was a series of constitution and wisdom checks. Insulting the other contestants was also allowed, as was trying to convince them how good the drink would taste. There was also "Catch". Throw a handaxe as high in the air as you can and then catch it on a shield. That one was strength and dexterity with extra points for "pizzazz". I think the guy who won did a backflip before catching it if I remember. Tug of War involved pulling each other's beard/hair until one side called uncle. Mainly strength and charisma. Tales of the Bravest Elf (it was a dwarven carnival) was charisma with some other skill check. The PC who won this ended up telling the tale of a strong elf and then started picking up judges to show how strong the elf was. People were expected to be creative, so if they could come up with a justification for using a skill I allowed it. The idea was to let people be fun and inventive in their approach, not just "give me a wisdom check". Graphic descriptions and ingenious use of abilities was rewarded. [/QUOTE]
