[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 4244105, member: 10784"] I was planning on having a moment in the coming sessions for each of the PCs to have a moment where they are the star of the show (not all 6 each session, but one per session) - the "all eyes on them" type of solo moment. One of the PCs plays a human cleric of a goddess termed "The Great Huntress" - think Artemis/Diana. But, clerics of this goddess sponsor archery contests around the world and a way for clerics to gain status within the church is to win a contest vs a higher ranked cleric. This goddess is pretty popular among the elves. The situation in-game calls for our PCs to run into a group of wood elves in the next session and I was hoping to give our cleric of the Great Huntress her moment in the sun in the next session by having a higher ranked cleric of this goddess there among the elves. I would like the contest to be close - if the human PC loses a close contest, she will gain respect. If she wins it will give her another rank in the church (which is not always tied to your level) and also even more respect. The NPC cleric will be an elf and be a higher level than the PC, so will have the advantage of a higher BAB. I also make all my "to hit" rolls on the table, so I can't suddenly change to fudge the rolls behind the screen. For an impromptu contest, would you rule that the PC and the NPC use their own bows (it's very typical for clerics of this goddess to fashion their own bows) or would the two clerics use the same non-magical bow? The PC has a Longbow of Distance, so if the target is beyond a range increment, she would have an advantage that would help to offset the NPC cleric's higher BAB and Dex. I was going to keep the contest fairly short, like five arrows. While I want each PC to have their moment in the sun, I also realize I have six players and five of them will be sitting by twiddling their thumbs (I could have one of them work as a judge, I suppose) during the contest. Any ideas/hints? Thanks [/QUOTE]
