The couples are decided randomly and then the players (if they want) can find an agreement on the thread, or privately if they want to keep the secret.-Lvl 16-22 pb-standard wealth and items(one magic item of level +1, one of your level, one of your level -1, and wealth equal to the price of a level -1 item)-Each character can only use up to two consumables per encounter. It is allowed, however, to buy more to use in subsequent encounters.-Available sources: PHb, FGRG, PHb2, AV, Manual of the Planes, no races from the MM, no playtest or preview material. Dragon is available as a source for expanded races and classes.-Some options may be disallowed.The rules:-Competitors are coupled randomly.-There will be four different arenas; you won't know in advance where you'll fight; there might be traps, obstacles or monsters; the arena for the final will be chosen randomly between these two.You won't be able to escape the arena so that is not an option.-You will have a short rest after each fight. -You win if your opponents:* surrender* die * fall unconsciou on their turn due to reaching 0 hp and you can attack them on your subsequent turn* fall unconscious during your turn due to reaching 0 hp and fail a death saving throw on their subsequent turn -The fight continues if:*An unconscious competitor manages to recover from the uncoscious condition*An uncoscious competitor fails to recover, but the opponents are unable to attack him (example: they are immobilized and only have melee attacks)-You can have one item or weapon ready at the start of the battle. Well, except for shields, that'd be unfair. So yeah, for example you can have a sword and a shield readied without needing an action, but you'd have to spend one to take a potion out.-Spending action points is not allowed. You can, however, spend action points to activate certain abilities that require the expenditure (like the bonus damage of a warpriest or the dmg resistance of a dreadnought).[sblock=House rules]-Stealth: *You can hide with simple cover, albeit at a -2 penalty on your stealth check.You can't hide on subsequent turns in the same spot with simple cover if you have become visible.*You can't hide with light concealment, but concealments from different sources stack.-Double Weapons:*Double weapons lose the defensive property*Double swords lose the light blade type-Battlerage Vigor:*You can only gain temp hp from being damaged once per round.-Storm of blades power:*you can make a number of attacks equal to 1/2 your Con modifier +1.[/sblock][sblock=previous game]-Lvl 2-22 pb-standard wealth and items(one magic item of level +1, one of your level, one of your level -1, and wealth equal to the price of a level -1 item)-PHb, FGRG, Dragon for races and classes, no races from the MM, no playtest or preview material.-All books available for material.-Some options may be disallowed.The rules:-Competitors are coupled randomly.-There will be two different arenas; you won't know in advance where you'll fight; there might be traps, obstacles or monsters; the arena for the final will be chosen randomly between these two.You won't be able to escape the arena so that is not an option.-You will have an extended rest after each fight; you can choose not to take an extended rest and keep benefits deriving from the fight that you haven't used(pact boons, temporary hps, action points, whatever)-You win if your opponent:* surrenders* dies * falls unconscious on his turn due to reaching 0 hp and you can attack him on your subsequent turn* falls unconscious during your turn due to reaching 0 hp and fails a death saving throw on his subsequent turn -The fight continues if:*An unconscious competitor manages to recover from the uncoscious condition*An uncoscious competitor fails to recover, but the opponent is unable to attack him (example: he is immobilized and only has melee attacks)-You can have one item or weapon ready at the start of the battle.
