These are the matches that I'd most like to witness:
Chara Telure/Vandervecken
Hindmost/Marathon
Davis/whoever, I'll get to see that one for sure. [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]
Having seen some of these combatants in action, I'd really like to watch the matches.

Chara vs. Vandervecken will certainly be interesting. Will the vorpal blade triumph or will magic have it's day?

Vorpal, triumph?

Only if someone fails a reflex save XD, and the one vorpal blade I've come across has a looooooow DC.

But watch out for Dev. Crit :D

In the matches I've been in, and witnessed, Dev Crit has actually been a non issue. The fighter I had in the tourney with dev crit couldn't even use the weapons she took the feat in. My winner, Davis, is a dex based rogue, with epic dodge, and weapon finesse. He finished Fizban in about 3 minutes, that's the time for both rounds. One of the chars I've seen so far is immune, but it seems that most of us were prepared for that eventuality. If Anah had had one more set of protection from spells, her bout may have finished differently, may have. Still she was forced to use weapons that she didn't even have a focus in. These chars are some of the best put together I have seen so far. Even some of the one's that I saw lose, such as Zen-Don. Had he been lvl 40 for the competition, instead of lvl 20...I'm not sure how his first match would have went, but I'm quite sure his second match would have been longer.

In Fizbans defence his sheilds did do you quite a bit of damage in the first round and in the second he just missed yoyu with the last IGMS.

His low AC and low hitpoints contributed to his loss.

Chara vs. Vandervecken will most likely be fought around 5 pm GMT today.

11:30 a.m. - noon US CST on Saturday would be ideal for me. Xiphias - let me know if that would work for you.

This is the truth, and I wasn't trying to minimize that fact, merely pointing out that it wasn't dev crit that won it, just some really good rolls. Just for my personal info, has any one won a match with dev crit yet, I'm thinking that I may have seen one, on further reflection, but I'm on medication, I'm allowed to be forgetting.

I'll probably be ready for the next tourney, whenever that is [img]tongue.gif[/img]

RTB - I haven't seen one in the actual tourney, but when you and I sparred for fun, The Watcher had a couple of Dev Crits. Unfortunately, I couldn't land any on Vandervecken when it counted. He must be a choker.
