[QUOTE="JollyDoc, post: 4449439, member: 9546"] It was a lot of fun! We had ten contestants, I believe, one of which was our very own Tower Cleaver (powered down to 12th level)! Other builds included a druid, rogue, warmage, two clerics, three wizard/sorcerer types, and the winner, an abomination with no fewer than six classes!! Our TC gave a good accounting of himself, drawing first blood by completely obliterating a halfling sorcerer. Alas, everybody's favorite minotaur then became harrassed by a string of summoned beasties courtesy of the druids. None of them lasted long, but by the time TC waded through them, a couple of the other spellcasters had time to whittle him down until the ultimate winner finished him off. There are always lessons to be learned from these events, and this year, it was that we allowed too much prebuff time (5 rounds). The winner used it to encase himself in a prismatic sphere and use Time Stops. How, you might ask? With scrolls. Granted, he had a 30% chance of failure (which he did a time or two), but he used his scroll collection to devastating effect. For a moment, it looked like one of the clerics might give him a run for his money by summoning an elemental monolith, but when Mordenkainen's Disjunction got busted out, it was scratch one cleric. Believe it or not, when it came down to the final three, the druid and rogue were still in the hunt. Still even more unbelievable, the rogue ended up taking second place! We had a great time, and plan to run again, probably at GenCon, next year. [/QUOTE]
