**Character Creation**
You will need to create a new character for the Battle Royale. Your character must be finalized prior to December 20, 11:59pm CST.
Character creation is as follows:
Level 8
All official WoTC sources are available, turn off all partnered content. GM Eric’s homebrew spells and feats are also available provided you meet the requirements.
Hit points are Fixed
Enable Optional Class Features
Enable Customize Your Origin
Visibility must be set to "Public"
All races allowed
All classes allowed
Ability Scores are based on the Standard Array
No custom backgrounds, otherwise all background available.
Select Starting Equipment.
You can cast multiple leveled spells per turn, as long as you have the economy for those spells.
8000 gold, Sane Magical Prices are the ONLY ITMES AVAILABLE (other than starting equipment), and the prices are firm. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8XAiXpOfz9cMWt1RTBicmpmUDg/view?usp=sharing
POTION OF SPEED IS BANNED.
Critical Strike Houserule - As is normal in my campaigns, on a critical strike, the first damage die will be maximized, and then the second die will be rolled for damage.
Potion Houserule - Drinking a potion will be a BONUS ACTION, or ACTION during the Battle Royale. But only one potion may be consumed per turn.
Wild Magic Surges - Wild magic will be rolled on the d10000 table.
Environment - The arena in question will have side areas containing helpful/harmful resources or areas, exploration may get you a major advantage...or fun surprise, along with environmental hazards and dangers.
Stagnation - Inactivity and/or prolonged stealth will be discouraged, as NPC enforcers will be added to the arena to encourage participants to get involved. Please note, these enforcers will have overhead knowledge prior to jumping in, so they'll know where you are, even if you're hidden. When the stagnant player engages with another player, the enforcer will leave the battlefield.
The Battle Royale will start with a house champion in the arena, asking for challengers. You can jump in at certain points around the arena (which will be marked). Please note that should one character hold the arena by themselves for three consecutive rounds, they will be declared the victor.
Spells, summons, potions, elixirs, etc, and any other effect from outside the arena cannot effect people within the arena due to a magical barrier over the battle zone. Buffs placed on characters prior to entry into the arena will be stripped, the spellslots, items, scrolls or features consumed, and the castings wasted. Summoned creatures in existence prior to entry will be dispelled, and removed from play.
Failing to enter the ring will forfeit your admission fee, as you'll have chosen to not participate as a character. Delaying for too long may also incur a push from NPC's. Get in there, and be active.
All characters will start with Inspiration. Inspiration will not be granted during the session by any means.
**About Me, and what to expect:**
My one-shots start on-time.
I will personally be in the game at least 10 minutes early.
I've been a DM for about 37 years, and full-time professionally for a long time. With that, I do like to bend the rules to fit the needs of the situation at hand.
If you want to try something cool, let's see what you've got, and I'll do my best to work it in. If you can make someone else's character cooler through your action, I'll do my darndest to make the return even better.
Recording of the session will take place, but this will not be available to the public until after the event’s conclusion.
**Payment**
This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $30/session. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements. Payments must be made prior to the event, and may be made via my website at www.GMEric.com. (One-shot payments, my website accepts credit cards, PayPal, and more.) If you're not satisfied with the session, or need to cancel, let me know, and I'll work with you to find a reasonable resolution. Once this session has started, there will be no refunds.
**Disclaimer**
While most of the art I use belongs to me, I occasionally use other peoples' art as reference, and do keep a log of who the owners of the art are. This is done in order to abide by fair-use laws. The art in question is meant to serve as examples of settings/characters, and not as specific references unless otherwise stated. Art used in this manner belongs to the owner, and I claim no rights to it.
**Something else?**
If you have questions, feel free to send me a private message on Roll20, Discord, or e-mail and I'll respond as quickly as possible.
