GITP Community Monster Class Competition VI: Beneath The Waves
Voting Thread
You will vote for two things on this thread, the monster class from last month's competion that you think is the best, and a theme for the next contest. The deadline for this voting thread will (tentatively) be the end of this month.
Rules
1) First, you will vote for one monster class entry that you think is the best.
Contest Entries
Deep One by TheGeckoKing (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=12665375&postcount=2)
Water Elemental by Hyudra (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=12695766&postcount=3)
Styx Dragon, largely by myself. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=12699414&postcount=4)
If you are unsure how to judge a monster class, following these guidelines:
Originality - The monster class should be unique. It should stand out from the rest, as a class.
Playability - The monster should allow for fluid, engaging, amusing and uninterrupted play at the table.
Balance - The monster should be balanced enough that it's not going to hold the group back or dominate everything without even trying, both overall and at a given stage in its development.
Elegance - The page which details the monster for the player should look good and be easy to understand.
Flavor - Last but certainly not least, we want to preserve the flavor and the atmosphere of the monster the monster class is based off of.
Feel free to explain your vote, even using the guidelines as an explanation if you want. You can vote for your own monster class creation if you truly feel that it is the best entry. In the case of a tie, I will vote on the disputed themes.
2) Second, you will vote for the theme of the upcoming contest. I am not offering any suggestions for a theme this month; I want to see what you guys can collaborate on. I suggest offering many ideas for a theme when you post, in order to get the ball rolling. that way, others can tell you which ideas they like from your list, and add to it.
Whichever theme has the most votes by the end of the month will be used for next month's contest. In the case of a tie, I will vote on the disputed themes. In the case of no votes, I'll go with a previously suggested theme.
