My son (Nerrat Dei) and I would like to invite characters of levels 3 to 6 to a joust at Kerrigan's Keep.
Feel free to bring existing characters from your home games or PbPs. Awaken characters in PbPs that folded. Make up new characters if you wish (use Pathfinder Beta rules and a 20 point buy). Level three is a good mimimum level for the jousts.
In game time, the joust will take a few days.
All are welcome.

Are flying mounts acceptable?Ummm, ... as long as they fly down the lists at a height that would allow non-flying mounts a sporting chance.
Now where is the fun in that? :)
I was joking anyway, I have to many druid in pbps already. Perhaps a barbarian, but which to choose, rhino or mounstrous scorpian...*walks off thinking*
enclosed is my shield

Liberta de Falcone means Freedom of the Falcon in Old Taldor (which may not be true)
Come on! We need more than three to have a competiton!

I welcome all people to this event (even sebastien)...Ha! Burn! Sebastian, you got called out!
I hope sebastian see this.
@ sebastian:P
Good job, Nerrat, and if you hadn't seen me post this yet someplace else, I want to congratulate you on your article in Wayfinder. Good job, man!
Thank you very much Daigle. I hope I get another chance to continue Aggen Small's adventures.
And we can take many more participents. 10 jousters is my goal.
By my honor and life shall I be there. May my sword and shield do thy event justice and may the day be won by the finest. Pray thee behold and receive my gratitude for your invitation that I present thee now, and which soon shall be accompanied by my colors and self.
Nobility and Courage to the end,
RyKriffmorr of the Knighted Swords Valiant

Oh man. I have never, ever seen anyone shoot to the top of my enemies list so fast. Let's see, we've got:
1. Calling me out in a thread: check.
2. Related to Tarren Dei, a poster who is consistently nice, well-spoken, and tolerant of my rants: check.
3. A published author before the age of 10, which not only impresses me, it makes me seethe with jealousy: check.
Your calling out has not gone unnoticed, and I will haunt your every step from this day forward. You will learn to fear my pretty lavender scented mane and shiver in terror when you hear the clip-clop of my laquered pink horse shoes.
Oh yes...you will know fear!!!
A belated welcome to the boards Nerrat Dei! Your Dad's a great guy and I'm looking forward to seeing how great his son is. I don't really have the time (or attention span) for a pbp, but I'll try and help out when I can (though, to be fair, my help has a tendency to start flamewars, so you might want to reject the offer).
Unemployed Paladins of Iomedae welcome?

Jousting Mechanics
1. Warhorses (heavy or light) will charge willingly. Other horses will only charge on a DC 20 ride check.
2. Attack role as normal for a charge (+2 attack role, with -2 to your AC. Lances do double damage on a charge).
3. Player Options:
a.) Aim at helm: -8 to attack but Ride Check = DC15+damage dealt. Diplomacy check will be required to avoid disqualification if used.
b.) Crouch defensively: -4 attack; +2 to AC.
c.) Tighten the reins (reins are held tighter, restricting shield use): = -2 to AC; +4 to ride check.
4. Wooden lances break at 15 points of damage, doing a maximum of 15 points of non-lethal damage.
5. If hit, opponents must make a Ride Check (DC=5+Damage sustained) to stay mounted.
a. 5 ranks in handle animal = +2 on ride check.
b. War saddle provides +2 to ride check.
c. If knocked unconscious, riders have a 50% chance of remaining in the saddle (75% if in a war saddle).
6. If unhorsed, Ride Check (DC15) or 1d6 damage.
Qualification Round (Day 1)
For the first round, players will be randomly assigned their opponent. Every player will have one match in the first round. Each match consists of three courses. To win, the player must have a point advantage over their opponent after 3 courses. Contestants are allowed to re-mount if unhorsed.
Points are assigned as follows: 1 Point for hitting opponent, 1 Point for staying on the horse, 2 Points for unhorsing opponent.
If one player decides to surrender, the match is forfeited to the opponent. If there is no clear winner at the end of three courses, contestants continue until one gains a point advantage. If both players are unconscious, and there is no clear winner, the contest continues after magical healing
All those who win their match in the first round qualify for the second round. (Players receive magical healing at the end of Day 1).
The Challenge Round (Day 2 and onward)
In the second round—named “The Challenge Round”—each qualified contestant challenges an opponent. The contestants that had the highest scores in the first round (and defeated their opponent) may challenge first. The challenge may be refused.
The rules and points are otherwise the same as for Day 1.
At the end of each match, everyone (winner or loser) receives magical healing. The contestant that loses is eliminated from the competition. The winner may continue to challenge.
Winning and Prizes
There are two winners for the Challenge Round:
Winner on Merit—The person who won the most points during the Challenge Round receives a prize of 500 silver pieces and a masterwork lance.
Last Man Standing—The last undefeated contestant in the challenge round receives a prize of 500 gold pieces and a +1 lance.

Just click on design software. You need the latest Java installation. EDIT: you might see a message saying this publisher could not be verified (bla..bla..bla...) It never caused harm onto our computer from what we know so Don't be scared to click 'Run'.
Edit #2:If you don't have the time to make one than just ask me and I will be more than happy to make one.

I'll leave my father to answer that question.Wow, the boards are borked....

We've suggested that you bring in existing characters of any level from 1 to 6 or start new characters at level 3. We found that characters of levels 1 and 2 tend not to stay conscious during jousts. ;-)
If The Rogue Knight is re-appearing, I'm rooting for him for old times sake.

Wow! A fan already. I'll try not to disappoint.
Ready to go. Note that the skill modifiers are inclusive of armor penalty. Have no magical items btw.
We fight without enhancement, yes? This is a tournament, of course.
In the old days, knights wear parts of female apparel as a sign of their ladies' favor. Are we going to continue that tradition?
OK so, should I convert him to Pathfinder Fianl rules? And perhaps bring him up to 3rd level? He'd still be an underdog, but maybe he could stay conscious...
