[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8452834, member: 2629"] This is just to address curiosities - no wrong answers. Basic question: What 5 PC party would you want to have for a competitive challenge? Let's say you've been invited to a competition in which you'll run a 5 PC party (7th level) through a short adventure with you running all 5 PCs. You'll make the PCs for the session. The PCs will be made with point buy, and will start with 5000 gps collectively (or 1000 per PC), and can buy a rare item for 2000 gold or an uncommon item for 400 gold (one half that cost if the item is a consumable like a potion or scroll). You may use only Published materials from WotC. This is what you know about the adventure/challenge: 1.) It will involve the exploration, social and combat pillars. 2.) It'll cover no more than 8 hours of gaming (real time limit), and you will be able to take one short rest (but not a long rest). 3.) You'll face up to 8 combat encounters - 3 deadly, 3 hard and 2 medium. There are ways to bypass some or all of the combat encounters without combat. There are additional challenges outside combat to be overcome. 4.) There will be 2 major goals and 10 minor goals. You'll be eliminated if you do not achieve both major goals, and the parties that complete the most minor goals will advance to the next round. An example of a major goal would be "(Named NPC) must be alive at the end of the adventure." An example of a minor goal would be "Identify the name of the being that murdered (Named NPC)" or "Possess the Sapphire Crown." 5.) The adventure will not be setting specific (not specifically Eberron, FR, Greyhawk, etc...) With that framework in mind: What 5 PCs would you select? How would you equip them generally (no need for specifics)? [/QUOTE]
