I'm about to have a large day of games in my campaign in order to celebrate a major event. There will be all sorts of Kord-related activities, including many sports competition. One of these events is Gorgon riding (like bull riding, but on a gorgon). The object of course, is to stay on the gorgon the longest, and not get turned to stone (which would obviously make you fall off of the gorgon).
But how do you time how long someone stays on the gorgon? I have a theory which would give the contestants two different options, but I want to run it by you guys and see what you think.
The Gorgon would make a Grapple check in an attempt to throw the rider. The rider would then have the choice of making a Grapple check or a Ride check to counter the toss. If they succeed, they stay on no problem. If they fail by less than five, they manage to stay on, but with a tenative grasp, and MUST succeed the next round or fall off. If they fail by more than 5, they fall off. If they turn to stone, they fall off.
