[QUOTE="JollyDoc, post: 5275899, member: 9546"] Since I won't be getting the newest update posted until this weekend, I thought I'd give you a brief synopsis of JollyDoc's Battle Royal that we ran at GenCon this past weekend. Basically, we host a tournament of up to 14 players that bring their own 12th level characters. We then place them in a custom-made arena and let them battle it out to the last man/woman standing. This year, the arena was in a sewer system, except that the effluvium flowing through the sewer was acidic, boiling, and electrified, so there were some environmental hazards. There were 10 contestants this year, and they were as follows: Quirtel: Barbarian 10/Rogue 2 Dora Higholt: Rogue 10/Assassin 1/Shadow Dancer 1 Fester: Druid 12 Corad: Fighter 10/Wizard 2 Korthos: Rogue 3/Wizard 3/Arcane Trickster 6 Double Rainbow: Monk 12 Gorenaug: Cleric 11/Monk 1 J. Cutler: Monk 12 Brug: Barbarian 12 Cornelius: Wizard 12 The first fatality occured in round 8. Brug the barbarian was brought down by Corad, who finished him with a trip/follow-up combo. The second death was also in round 8, when Fester the druid was finished off by a pair of Bralani Azata, summoned by Cornelius. Round 10 saw the death of Corad, who was pummeled to death by J. Cutler while trying to read a scroll. J. Cutler himself was the next to fall in round 13, when he was caught between a pair of AOO's from Dora and Quintel as he attempted to jump over/between them. The last death was Dora, in round 16. He was killed by negative energy channeled by Gorenaug. After 6 1/2 hours, 5 contenders still lived, so the ultimate decision of winner was decided by highest percentage of total hp remaining. That made Korthos the Iron Man, with Double Rainbow coming in 2nd, and Cornelius 3rd. [/QUOTE]
