We're a little different than most of the optimization threads. We run on CR instead of ECL.
Contestants:
You will need to present a write-up of your build with at least one of the following points: 5 CR, 10 CR 15 CR, 20 CR, and a "sweet spot" that you feel is the high point of the build, as well as presenting a fully-fleshed out 20 CR build in the table below. Feel free to present as many of these as you like, and please give a rundown of the build's abilities and playability at all of the levels you didn't show. The rules are as follows:
Secret Laboratory:
Competitors will be free to use any official 3.5 rulebook in constructing their builds. Dragon Compendium is allowed, but Dragon magazine is disallowed. Unearthed Arcana is allowed. Web-exclusive 3.0 or 3.5 materials by WotC are expressly allowed, but take care to verify that an updated version did not appear in print elsewhere, as this may cause an Elegance deduction at the judges' discretion. Alternate rule systems from UA such as gestalt or Generic Classes are not allowed, as they create a different playing field. Item Familiars and Taint are also banned from the competition. Leadership and all similar abilities are banned for sanity reasons.
Builds that are fully monstrous are allowed at no penalty. All class levels are to be added on as associated class levels.
Elite array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) is the assumed ability score generation method.
Some monstrous characters can technically qualify for Epic feats as soon as their ECL is over 20. While regular Epic feats will be allowed, Epic Spellcasting and all other Epic feats that affect spells, psionic powers, or item creation are not permitted. Including these would give an unfair advantage over standard characters. For Incarnum characters, Epic Open Chakra feats are allowed; other Epic Incarnum feats are not. The Essentia Capacity increases for Epic capacity as described on p. 212. For all characters, please note that Racial Hitdice do not count towards Epic Progression; use the regular progression even if the BAB ends up higher than 20.
Deadlines:
Contestants will have until 23:59 GMT Tuesday November 15th to create their builds and PM them to the Supreme Chancellor. Builds will then be posted simultaneously, to avoid copying. Judges will have until 23:59 GMT Sunday November 27th* to judge the builds and submit their scores. If no judges have scored by that point, only the scores of the first judge to submit will be counted. *Judging deadline is subject to extension as/if required.
Judging:
Judging will be based on the following criteria, with each build rated on a scale from 1 (very poor) to 5 (exemplary) in each area: Originality, Build Elegance, Competence and Power, Memorable Villainy.
Keep these questions in mind when judging each category:
Originality - Is it unexpected?
Build Elegance - Is it mechanically pretty?
Competence and Power - Can it do what the concept asks of it? Is this a powerfully-built character?
Memorable Villainy - Is this a villain with style? Will it be the BBEG players long to finally kill and then talk about for weeks?
Unearthed Arcana can be penalized for elegance if the specific feature seems unnecessary or makes the playing field unfair (In this case, you can give a 1 if it makes the field unfair.)
Power level is up to you. Cheese is acceptable, but should be kept to a sane level unless you're showcasing a new TO build you've discovered. As the Iron Chef competition states, a little cheddar can be nice, but avoid the mature Gruyere unless you're making a cheese fondue.
You may not judge if you entered the contest, unless you withdraw your submission.
Presentation:
Builds will be posted anonymously, in order to avoid the potential of bias towards a particular competitor. For this reason, please don't put your name in the build, as I'm likely to miss it when reviewing the entries!
Using the table below, the easiest way to use it is to go to the top left of the private message, and click the little a/A icon. It allows you to see what you're writing.
Due to concerns about standardizing entry format, I'd like everyone to try to use the following table for their entry.

Speculation:
Please don’t post or speculate on possible builds until the reveal, in order to avoid spoiling the surprise if a particular competitor is producing a build along those lines.
Get ready to share those Evil thoughts. This edition’s villain is:
Burn Baby Burn (Some Beings Just Want To Watch The World Burn)
You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter.
Limitations
- Must have the Fire subtype. To keep things interesting, the rituals in Savage Species are specifically not allowed for this - you'll have to find other ways.
- Must have an "at will" ability to inflict fire damage. In this instance, at will equates to an "all-day" ability, even if it has a cooldown time. For instance, a Wizard able to cast Fireball 30 times a day would not qualify; but a Dragon who can breathe fire all day long with a cool-off of 1d4 rounds between each breath would qualify.
- As always, must be Evil in alignment.
We will award 1st through 3rd places, and a possible Honorable Mention.
So, start your evil plotting!
Submission:
To standardize Entries, please use this format when sending it in:
PM: Thurbane
Subject: Villainous Competition 16, Name of your Entry
For Revisions and disputes, do the same thing. It makes it easier for me finding the entries in my mail box.
More questions? PM me with Villainous Competition 15 Questions in the header.
Tips for submitting your entry, provided by Weaselguy:
- Use capitalization and punctuation, correctly.
- Make good use of Spoilers, for cleanliness.
- Don't forget your sources. If it's something that can be found in the contents section, then book title seems to be fine. Obscure stuff, may want to include page number too.
- DeviantArt has about 9 billion pictures that you can reference, I can almost guarantee you can find one there to fit your character.
- Make good use of tables. In addition to the Build table and the Spells table, I like doing on e for my Ability Scores, just to keep it neat.
- Do a build stub at the top of your Build Table, something like Wizard 2/Fighter 3/Abjurant Champion 5/Eldritch Knight 10Last edited by Thurbane; 2016-11-12 at 09:10 PM.

Re: Villainous Competition XVI: Burn Baby Burn
---reserved---
...please bear in mind I won't be available to reply to PMs until about November 6th or so. Hopefully this round's theme is straight forward enough that there won't be a lot of FAQs.
I've tried to make sure there'll be plenty of room in my INbox.Last edited by Thurbane; 2016-10-20 at 05:59 PM.

Re: Villainous Competition XVI: Burn Baby Burn
The lax requirements are a breather after last round, so I'll try to get a build in.
Creator of the LA-assignment thread.
Come join the new Junkyard Wars and build with SLAs and a breath weapon!

Re: Villainous Competition XVI: Burn Baby Burn
it might be a good idea to edit this post before other chefs/judges see it.
I can certainly understand that method of qualification not appealing, and you certainly don't have to use it for your dish, but for chefs that do, having it signposted for potential judges is a bit of a disadvantage.I've got a new fantasy TTRPG about running your own fencing school in a 3 musketeers pastiche setting.

Re: Villainous Competition XVI: Burn Baby Burn
I've got an idea for this. It's not exactly super-original, but I don't think a bunch of people will go this route for this competition, so that's something, right?

Re: Villainous Competition XVI: Burn Baby Burn
I have mine. I'll be entirely surprised if anyone does use this idea, but hey ho.
I'd honestly love to have the [Fire] type reasoning relaxed (for both the reasonings above, but also for widening the entries) but it wouldn't be VC if we didn't have hoops to jump.
Either way.
Edit; QQ that might be relevant; what's the stance on Magic Items? As in recommended gear, as opposed to required gear for the build work (I know that that's questionable at best interpretation and liable to heavy penalties somewhere; no, this is instead for gear for the character to take). Not PM'd, as it might be pertinent to everyone.Last edited by Vaz; 2016-10-22 at 01:57 AM.

Re: Villainous Competition XVI: Burn Baby Burn
Well, I guess I'm cooking. It's impossible not to get silly ideas from such a vague theme.

Re: Villainous Competition XVI: Burn Baby Burn
I agree, I already had to thrash several build stubs because I could not manage to tackle on the Fire subtype by one way or another.
VC XV, The horsemen are drawing nearer: The Alien and the Omen (part 1 and part 2).
VC XVI, Burn baby burn:Nero
VC XVIII, This is Heresy! Torquemada
VC XX, Elder Evil: Henry Bowyer

Re: Villainous Competition XVI: Burn Baby Burn
Curses. Missed my chance to be the first advocate for leaving the restrictions.
In any case, I agree with Tonymitsu. Restrictions have always been a part of the competition. Some rounds they're simply more stringent than others.

Re: Villainous Competition XVI: Burn Baby Burn
Well, it doesn't really affect me, since I'm using [REDACTED], so I guess I'm not the best person to argue about it. However, I do think it restricts your options a little: other than dipping [REDACTED] then taking [REDACTED], and using the capstone for [REDACTED] I know of no methods which don't involve intensive [REDACTED], so it might restrict people's freedom a tad bit too much.
Though, since this is such a vague theme, maybe it balances out in the end?
Censoring yourself is unexpectedly quite entertaining.

Re: Villainous Competition XVI: Burn Baby Burn
Well, I'm not having a huge issue with the subtype; strangely enough, it's finding a unique source on the at-will ability that I'm having trouble with.
I'm toying around with the idea of a [REDACTED] with the [REDACTED] template applied, but that's flimsy at best (besides, it can't be applied to [REDACTED] creatures.)
I'm currently working on a [REDACTED], but that's severely lacking in flavour. I might just end up skipping this one, but I'd rather not.
