01-14-06, 11:07 AM I am currently in an evil game wherein we are in an mostrous army (Droaam from Eberron if you want to know) Currently we are going through basic training. I am playing a goblin mage. Through some fortiutous roles I was the first person out of over 20, yes over 20 including NPCS, people that dont have minuses to jump swim and climb, to get to the finish line and get rewarded with points (3 points and you can commision a masterwork item, 5 points a magic item). Obviously all the ogres, and half giants, and shifters, and even other goblins aint too pleased.

This is compounded by the fact, that there was a PC that attempted to skip most of the obstacles, suceeded in getting to the finish line but got knocked down to -1 by an archer, a few rounds later i tried a heal check got a natural one and shoved him down to -9. (He didn't die)

Right now I have gotten hints that in the next challenges, its not going to be too pleasant for my character. Does anyone have any advice?

01-14-06, 11:31 AM 6 strength, 16 dex, 14 con, 18 int, 6 cha, 12 wis. Points all gone into spellcraft, knowledge, and concentration.

Edit: If possible, as shown by my low capabilities is there any suggestions for a non fighting way to do this?

01-14-06, 11:41 AM With no spells, and that score and skill layout, talking your way out of the problem is pretty well doomed from the start. And yeah, fighting isn't going to work too well either. About your only relatively strong suit here is stealth - assuming you're not encumbered and aren't buffing it with a feat you've got +7 mods apiece on Hide and Move Silently checks. Is there any chance you could surreptitiously sneak out to the obstacle course when it's unattended and stash a few tools or sabotage a few obstacles in order to cheat and/or make a quick escape if things get too hairy?
