[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 3513810, member: 9026"] My games are no more combat heavy than any 'normal' D&D game.. About 50/50. I personally believe that a character should be able to handle itself in both Roleplaying AND combat. Otherwise he/she is going to find theirself standing back watching half the game. if you want an example of how I tend to run games (Specifically Epic ones), I've got two Epic Games running on the boards right now.. One's evil, one's good: [url=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=190920]Prevention[/url] [url=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=190929]Return to Power[/url] They're both about 200 posts long, but if you can wade from beginning to end, I think you'll like it. And just a side note... the last tournaments winner was a Prince. Allarion Sarutobi of Lyrevan, and he's one of the best roleplayed characters I've ever seen, which is half of why he won (He managed to talk a few people into surrendering to him, which is worth 3 kills a piece.. And I don't mean through Bluff/Diplomacy/Intimidate, but rather through excellent roleplaying. He WAS a very god fighter, though, on top of that. (Though I'm not telling anyone what happened in the castle or afterwards. ;) One thing to keep in mind though... if your character isn't a powerful fighter, then why & How did he get invited/brought/accepted into the Tournament? Also, is the concept specifically SUPPOSED to be non-combatant, or is that a side effect of you not usually making powerful/Epic characters? If it is the latter, there are many here who would be happy to help you with a few tips/pointers. to your Other questions: No spell like abilities over 4th level either. As for LA/HD, it depends on what you want. Just ask. I'd prefer no Liches, or anything else that's inherently 'unkillable' except by very specific means. Vampires, however, are perfectly acceptable. ;) I can tell you right now that there's going to be about a half dozen of them in the tourney. [/QUOTE]
