Re: Villainous Competition XXXVIII: Spooks and Spectres
Thank you for judging, AvatarVecna! I'm really glad you enjoyed my build.
I was contemplating whether or not I should submit this dispute, because I haven't seen it done before, but the proximity between my score an Pollyanna's convinced me I should submit.
You gave Arelshine a lot of credit for having 0 base class levels. While I wish that was the case, it isn't. I couldn't pull off the prerequisites without a rogue level - and though it fits thematically and is the favored class of doppelgangers, it's still there. You probably missed it because it's wrapped up with 2 of their templates - it seemed like the best way at the time. Making the table less cluttered on the one hand, not having two rows with the same CR on the other, and also just making sense timeline-wise.
Given your metric, I think it might drop Arelshine by a full point, putting them below Pollyanna. I wouldn't have bothered shooting my own build in the foot otherwise, but I feel it would not be very good sportsmanship on my part to gloss over that mistake and run away with a gold medal that isn't mine.
No further disputes from me, and thanks again for judging!
EDIT: I will need to account for Rogue in the Originality section as well, so we'll see how that goes. EDIT 2: Rogue is an obvious pick, but not quite on the same level as things like Human or Vecna-Blooded, for example.Last edited by AvatarVecna; 2021-01-13 at 08:52 PM.

Re: Villainous Competition XXXVIII: Spooks and Spectres
Congrats everyone.
Once again my Achilles Heel has proven to be that I suck at writing lengthy backstory and motivation. I tend to keep it extremely brief because I'm not great at it.
It varies by judge, but often ends up biting me in the behind...Last edited by Thurbane; 2021-01-18 at 02:38 AM.

Re: Villainous Competition XXXVIII: Spooks and Spectres
Missed the gold by 0.25, d'oh! Ah, well, H_H_F_F's earned the victory. Funny that we both had a variant on 'monster doesn't know they're the monster, thinks someone/everyone else is instead'. Deep Cover as mechanical support for that idea was downright inspired, though!
I liked that you actually pulled off an Epic Destiny. I was toying with Eternal Hero for my little nightmare, to key off her ability to duplicate once she gets enough temp. HP, but ultimately decided it wasn't as good a fit as Shadowmaster. For starters, you have to embrace some CR/HD cheese just to make it to 24 HD. It also makes her literally unkillable, when her story is supposed to end with her being tragically put down by her former friends (though actually, eternal imprisonment could work just as well). And while refluffing it slightly to be drawing from the souls she has trapped and consumed instead of past incarnations would have been cool, I think Shadowmaster giving her the ability to weave dream into reality was both more powerful and slightly more fitting.
Great round all around; looking forward to the next one!Originally Posted by Darths & DroidsOptimization Trophies

Re: Villainous Competition XXXVIII: Spooks and Spectres
Hey, my first gold in a GitP competition! Yay for me! Thanks for the compliments, PoeticallyPsyco.
Good round all around. I originally thought Polly would grab the gold, and Draugorex the HM, but I was hoping for silver.
Funny enough, I really thought I was screwed once AvatarVecna decided to judge (thanks again for that, by the way!) While I think he's an excellent judge, I think me and him have very different judging philosophies, especially when it comes to elegance and originality. Getting the gold was a welcomed surprise.
Well done, everyone! I don't feel I have much to say about Arelshine, as I already said everything within the entry, but I'd be glad to read how everyone else developed their ideas.
This was my first time in the villainous competition, and I really enjoyed the experience. Hope to see you all next round!

I had a blast scrolling through levels of wizard spells to spew out of a backside on discord because despite being old, I’m still 11 when it comes to fart innuendo

Re: Villainous Competition XXXVIII: Spooks and Spectres
Thank you al, for udnerstanding.
That alone helps at least a,oittle bit, as I was treally trying to get back to judging again and again...and failing. And I am normally someone who keeps their promises come highwater or Quarantine....just not this time, sigh.
In case an exited Judge can still do it, my HM would go to Dragaurex, for the almost elegant way to pull off that many contradictions.
And cause its a Spiderman expy. Sue me ^^A neutron walks into a bar and says, “How much for a beer?” The bartender says, “For you? No charge.”
