Impress me

[Dhavaer]

That's what the judge says in one of the events of the Alabaster Cup (detailed in Complete Warrior). How would you go about obliging her?

[Variable Arcana]

Roll an intimidate check.

[Threeshades]

Roll an intimidate check.

or maybe perform.

[Jalil]

yeh, perform(weapon Drill) would be best, I think, or any other performs you might have.
(Tangent?)
Maybe try cramming your entire party into a portable hole, attach that to the inside of your cloak, and then pull them out like a magician does with a handkerchief chain. That'd impress me.

[Shiny, Bearer of the Pokystick]

What, like the bozo boostergangers?

Given my tastes in martial characters, I'd go for some feat of archery; spitting a fly against a column by its wings, firing an arrow through each petal of a falling rose...

Alternatively, I'd say "Wait for tonight: third room on the left, Inn of the Thrusting Pony."

[Krellen]

Alternatively, I'd say "Wait for tonight: third room on the left, Inn of the Thrusting Pony."

Wow, only took three posts for that one to come out.

I'd execute a Whirlwind Attack. Not many Fighters invest the feats for that.

Hey, he specified 'her', and what else is that high Charisma modifier for?
Judge not, greatsword gerty, lest ye be judged.

Though, your idea's good too.

[Tweekinator]

Pull a David Blaine and eat my own face. Bet she'd be impressed with that. But have a cleric friend nearby for Resurrection.

[ExHunterEmerald]

An acrobatic combat form where, using climb and jump checks, I leap from pillar to pillar, kicking off their, taking out flying enemies inbetween with single (spring) attacks as I go. At the end I'd land on the tallest column and do a driving slash below me and sunder it, riding it all the way to the ground. The two halves would fall in either direction and knock down the rest, dominos style.

...no, I haven't been playing Megaman Zero 4, what makes you say that?

[Fax Celestis]

Turn my hands into brilliant energy weapons through sheer force of will (Sun Soul Monk ftw!).

[HempRope]

Kill her?

Naw, perhaps woo her with poetry.

[Assassinfox]

Perform a Desert Wind maneauver!

[Kultrum]

cast charm person

[Lolzords]

Make a ride check on her.

[martyboy74]

cast charm person

*sings* Anything you can do, wizards can do better! *sings*

More seriously, the martial adepts seem like the right way to go. Maybe use a Shadow Hand maneuver to teleport directly behind her.

[Assassinfox]

Make a ride check on her.

And a use rope check...

>_>

<_<

[Kultrum]

*sings* Anything you can do, wizards can do better!"

*sings* no one can stab a fool better then me!

[Clementx]

Dimension door to the nearest garden and back to bring her a flower. Hey, if it sorta works for Hiro, it can work for you. You do have boots that do that, right?

[AKA_Bait]

I dunno. Simply meeting her eyes and responding.

"No. Screw you *****."

Keeping the eyes locked and standing there might impress her. I'd be impressed by the sheer nads of that guy.

[PnP Fan]

I'm with Bait on this one. I'd say, "Combat is meant for killing, not sporting events." and then I'd probably walk out. Of course, as a player I probably wouldn't have entered the contest in the first place, except to pacify my fellow players.

However, I think a lot of the more amorous suggestions would be fun to play out, lol! ;-)

that depends entirely upon her attitude towards blind machismo

[storybookknight]

Knowing me, I'm playing a Fighter/Bard multiclass.

So? I start bragging, using my skills of oral performance, singing songs about the epic deeds which brought me to that place. The dragons I've killed, giants I've toppled, and all the rest.

[Annarrkkii]

Hmmm...

Were I a bard or rogue, I'd do several Perform checks, and perhaps throw in Sleight of Hand and Tumble. If I were a bard, I'd add in Arcane Accompaniment or Flourish, and some illusionery.

[Maroon]

Walk forward, jump, and hang suspended in the air until every person in the audience has had their turn.

[Rama_Lei]

Burst into your best Shanaia Twain? "That don't impress me much."

Yeah, that might impress her a lot.

[CharPixie]

Juggle plates with swords.

[Bears With Lasers]

I commit Hara-Kiri right there on the spot.

She'd definitely be impressed. And horrified, maybe, but impressed.

[elliott20]

I find something better to do than to pander to some random person's idle challenge.

[Ramza00]

*sings* Anything you can do, wizards can do better! *sings*

it isn't wizard, its artificers but yeah that is one of the songs on this board.
