Holiday Min/Max Challenge
« on: December 23, 2008, 12:12:19 AM »
It is only 2 days until Christmas, but in the spirit of Tim Burton, I am holding a min/maxing challenge. The best holiday or new years themed undead, construct, or evil outsider monster will win. There will be three judges and no limit for contestants. Entries will be based on

Theme
Power by CR
Humor
Favoritism

Currently the judges are

1: Empty
2: Empty
3: Empty

The Challengers and Entries are

NONE

Creation:
Books: All
CR: 1-20
Point Buy 42
Wealth: PC Starting Wealth of level = CR

Rules:
there are three categories: Undead, Outsider, and Construct
Each challenger may only submit one monster per category for judging
No infinite power exploits, this has to be able to be beaten
A challenger may submit as many monsters as he wishes, but only three of his choice will be judged

I would appreciate volunteers for Judges.

The deadline is the end of January, happy holidays!

...define "best".
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Do we want balance or power?

Power, you post entries here. Best is the combination of an awesome concept with a powerful stat block to support it

Level?  Point Buy?  Wealth?  Rules?  Come on man, do the due diligence!

...though the idea of judging based on "favoritism" is pretty darn hilarious.

How about standard point buy, 20 level progression?

I claim Frosty the Snowman.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

You can't claim Frosty! There are only five or six options anyway.
Frosty the Snowman
Santa Claus
Baby New Year
Old Man This Year
Kwanzabot
and the Hanukkah Zombie.

Okay, maybe there are some more, but those are the big ones. If people just claim the things they want to do, we'll end up stuck with the weird ones.

The weird ones are graded high. Humor is an element in grading

Why is Complete Champion disallowed but the PHB is totally fine?
