Stone or Log Throwing
The object of the contest is to hurl the largest stone the farthest. He who throws the stone the longest distance wins the contest. The individual weights of the stones are roughly equal and should weigh about as much as the character's maximum lift over the head. To throw a stone, the contestant rolls 1d20 and adds his strength modifier. A stone's distance is equal in feet to the modified d20 result minus 10 in feet. Each successive throw requires the thrower to make a Constitution check against a DC of 10 + the number of total stones thrown. Failure imposes a -2 penalty on subsequent throws. A second failure causes the thrower to be fatigued. A third failure causes the thrower to be exhausted and may not throw any more, thus losing the match. Therefore, Vignar, who has a Strength adjustment of +4, rolls a 15 on a d20. His total result is 19. After subtracting 10 feet, he has thrown the stone 9 feet.
