A fear based character sounds intriguing.
maybe something based on fatigue/exhaust, or stun/stagger.

Why do you resist?My Character RosterPeople over the age of 50 are most likely to experience exploding head syndrome. Women are at a higher rate of experiencing it than men. It has been reported in people as young as 10 years old.
Seriously. |

The problem I had with the Krenshar was that even though it might work quite well to begin with, at slightly higher ECLs it simply wouldn't work since its fear effect works like the Scare spell. My Yeth Hound should be more reliable...

more of a tournament idea: how many goblins can you take down before their horde takes you down?
something like: round 1-5, 1 goblin appears per round; 2-10, 2 per round; etc. Monsters would have a set of published tactics and would all be identical. each participant would have their own thread, and it would keep going until the PC went down.
could use a different horde creature for a higher level contest (bugbears, grimlocks, etc.)

You have to face off against a horde of dragons obviously.
Vath - the idea has some fun to it - so I wouldn't be opposed to it. Do you want to draw up more of the details?
Some of the complication will be to deal with the mapper (since it has a finite number of pins it can support), not sure what else yet.
It would be very easy for a character to be only hittable on a 20 (even with flanking and the like) at ECL3, so it could be a very long fight - especially for a character with a wand of CLW at play - so it might be good to have tactics depending on how many creatures are on the field. Goblins probably wouldn't go for disarm - unless there's ten of them and the opponent is healing all of the damage they are dealing. They also might not normally go for grappling, but with a bunch of them to be able to attack without dealing with a massive dex bonus would be worth it - if only for a round.

Then you become the Goblin King!

If I can make that work, I would be all over it.

I'll doodle some stuff. definitely will have use fancy tactics or fancy equipment on the horde to make sure it doesn't end up taking a year waiting for enough 20s.

On the positive side, most of the people who could force 20s no matter what condition would involve at least some short term buffs (wand of shield, wand of shield of faith, etc), so if the tactics include stuff like - destroy the wands/dorjes - that would help. Then they just need to deal with the long term buffs - mage armor/inertial armor.
Once you have some more to work with - send me the details via PM or post it to its own Council thread to flesh out.
Scoring would be a good idea to incorporate as well - duration + number of kills (since duration could be exaggerated with intense avoidance tactics (total defense while moving away or otherwise turtling up).

Another option is build a certain ECL must use LA, like ECL6-8 must use LA, or ECL6-8, can have max of 1-2 hd or something...
