[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 610518, member: 5868"] Here's some games/rules I used when running a tournament IMC: 1. Archery contest. For bows or crossbows. Each participant shoots ten arrows/bolts at a close target (1 range increment). Each arrow is scored as below; highest score wins. hit AC 9 or below -- Miss target completely AC 10-14 -- 1 point AC 15-17 -- 2 points AC 18-19 -- 3 points AC 20+ -- 4 points Ties are resolved by sudden death shoot-off, a DC 20 target placed at one range increment. If hit by both participants, the distance is increased by one range increment until someone misses. 2. Jousting. Using padded lances -- subdual damage only -- participants charge each other. Roll initiative, and roll to hit. A successful hit scores subdual damage, the participant must make a DC (10 + damaged received) Ride check to stay in the saddle. A hit scores 1 point, unhorsing your opponent 3. Three passes for best total score. 3. Melee a. One-on-one. Weapons are padded. Participants fight, inflicting subdual damage, until one falls unconscious or yields. No spell casting. b. Team: Teams of four fight with padded weapons -- subdual damage only -- until one side is eliminated or yields. Spell casting allowed, provided it does not inflict real damage. 4. Saber/Sword Gauntlet. The participant rides his horse down a gauntlet that forces him/her to lean off the horse to strike a series of small targets. Before striking each target, the rider makes a DC 15 Ride check; missing the check deducts the amount the check is failed by from the "to-hit" roll. Targets are AC 10, 10, 15, 15, 18, 20 respectively; highest score wins. 5. Wheel of fortune. Participants place bets on the wheel, winning double their ante on a successful roll (rolling a d20 to simulate), losing otherwise. 6. King’s Square (Chess): Opposed INT check with opponent to win/lose and advance in the bracket. 7. Talent competition: Perform check for score ranking; highest result wins. Ties resolved by "encore" opposed Perform checks. [/QUOTE]
