I'm new to the tournament, and I will be RANDOMLY ASSIGNING MY SKILLS (to a degree), and I LIKE MY ODDS.

Whoo. The dice have chosen my character, and ol' Brock is going at it with a Maul and shield. Let's get it on.

Look at all you sissies and your armor. Shield and Maul is the only way to go.

Does betting actually do anything, or is this just a bragging rights thing?

I ask, because I've placed no bets, and I don't want my MIGHTY TROLL to be handicapped after I bash someone's head in this round.

I'm REALLY excited to see what people came up with. The three thousand point thing was a lot---I wound up going with a whole lot of points into "realistic" options, but did my best to make the actual options useless. The way people are talking makes me think that I'll get tossed against people with huge amounts of kicking and biting, ridiculous armor, but the least effectual weapon they can come up with.......

I'm still going with my theory, though. I'm trying to emulate a realistic failure---which in my view, are often the most spectacular of failures.

EDIT
Unfortunately, this means I might just realistically fail and have a spectacular success.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.
The one day I'm away from my computer.

Ah, well.

Today, I learned:
Platinum warhammers aren't too heavy for kobolds to lift AT ALL, and 9 skill with one allows them to, not only swing them fast, but to swing them fast enough to bat arrows out of the air.


So my attempt to recreate spectacular failure did, indeed, end up in spectacular success. :(

No worries. My build was so bad good? that it wouldn't have mattered. Kobolds are stronger than I thought. I wonder if it'd have still happened that way if this was a gremlin match.

Man. I did not think I'd be killable by a blunt weapon. I'm embarrassed.

But.... he lost to a snakeman, which I'm pretty sure is even smaller.
