Picking up the Pieces

Welcome to the second GitP Pairs Contest! Have fun working with a partner to create a set of homebrew material linked together in some way related to the theme! The rules are below, as with most contests. Make original D&D 3.5 material, and reach for victory.



1. You and a partner will be creating a pair of original homebrew pieces based around a theme of pieces of fragments; be that homebrew that is the pieces themselves, that focuses on gathering, hiding, or doing something else with them, homebrew that is the thing the pieces or fragments are from, or homebrew that causes the thing to become pieces or fragments to begin with, or some mix of those or other suitable ideas. The key thing is that the pieces or fragments are at least part of what links the two together. You may not post your entry anywhere else until after the contest is finished. Aside from that, anything goes--psionics, martial maneuvers, spellcasting, whatever. Go crazy; new mechanics, new feats, new items, and everything else you can think of are fair game!


2. Entries must be made to fit with a partner's entry. Of these one must be a PRC, though the other entry may be a PRC, base class, race with paragon levels, or monster. You may not make both entries yourself. You may however decide to have only one of the two of you post both entries to keep them together. If your posts are not next to each other, you must link to your partner's post(s).


3. Submissions are due by November 30st, and should be submitted in the format shown in the next post. Feel free to play around with fonts, images, and the like, but the overall format should be somewhat similar. Mostly, just make it easy on the eyes.


4. There must be a name, complete class/race/monster, and fluff for both combat and role playing purposes. Incomplete entries will be disqualified--no exceptions.


5. Plagiarism is strictly forbidden.


The chat thread is here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216167). Feel free to discuss each other's creations, give critique, or talk about what you're thinking of this contest there, but only entries belong in this challenge thread. Searching for partners may be done in the chat thread.
