Forget about stat crunching and online drafts. I want some good old fashioned paper and pencil D&D style football! Imagine that. Your offensive line starts the 5 smartest ogres you can find (I know its hard to find a smart ogre but remember this is fantasy), you stock your wide reciever position with some quick elves, insert a dwarf fullback and add a 1/2 orc as a bruising halfback and your set. Of course, the QB would have to be human. Humans would be the only race capable of convincing Elves, Ogres and 1/2 Orcs to get along!
Now on to the defensive side of the ball. I would run a base 4-3 using relentless trolls as my defensive ends and a pair of massive clay golems as my defensive tackles. I would use a trio of bull rushing minotaurs as my LB's. Imagine trying to catch a pass over the middle with a trio of minotaurs all rushing to take you out! My DBs would have to be something quick and agile so i'm thinking a pair of githzerai (dexterity 17) would fit the bill and for my safties i would probably use a human strong safety and a elf free safety.
Imagine the sight of these creatures, stampeding out of a dark and dank tunnel onto a battle ravaged Coliseum floor wearing dented pieces of armor and spiked shoulder pads. The ground would truly shake as the massive defensive and offensive lines clashed into one another, snarling and grunting like wild animals. Tell me that doesn't sound awesome! I would probaly run a chaotic evil team and call them The Abyssal Maulers.
What do you think? Do I have a championship caliber D&D Fantasy team? You think you can do better? Well here's your chance!
Here are the rules:
1.Assemble a team of races/monsters from the D&D universe.
2.The races/monsters have to be at least vaguely humanoid in appearance and can be no bigger than large.
3.Ethereal creatures are not allowed (you can't tackle a ghost) as well as incorpreal creatures.
4.No creature can have a challenge rating higher than 10.
Well those are the rules now lets go see what you got.
I'll see you on the battle field!
