Nevermind, Huyster is correct. The person who PMed me the application swapped their character from Wizard to Fighter. Robe of the Archmagi is still available.

Lord Knight Commander of the Rahlian Iron Guard, Provost Marshal of the 1st Expeditionary Force
Current Play Test Time: 2000-2300 EST/UTC-4 (estimated 2000-2130)
Medium: Discord VOIP (see signature)
Notes: No battle map will be provided, for sake of brevity it will be assumed that the area will be small enough that a 30 foot movement range will always be in range. This fight will have roughly three stages giving a rough estimate on the bosses hitpoints. The first phase will rely on dual wielding melee with each weapon complementing the other allowing combo damage. The second phase will see the hostile resorting to the ultimate defensive/offensive melee weapon: a polearm. The third and final phase if reached, the boss will summon their retinue to allow them to heal back up.
Useful Info: The boss is adept at close quarters and surviving magical attacks. Obvious but being stated nonetheless, they have both Legendary Actions and Resistances. The target has both Magical Resistance and an additional anti-magic defensive measure. The target is immune to Non-Magical Attacks and several Conditions (if you are familiar with Undead, you can assume which ones). The target has no vulnerabilities, they are the equivalent to a Deity Avatar/Greater Champion and as such are powerful enough to warrant certain trademark vulnerabilities to no longer work against them. The playing field is subject to the effect of Planar Manipulation which can affect the following: gravity, alignment bonuses/penalties, magical effectiveness, and/or time scale.
Goals: Survive.

As a reminder, for those who haven't done so already. Make sure to join the Campaign with your approved character. As one player has already brought up in a PM, if you have any questions as to how your wargear or skills work, don't hesitate to ask now rather than during the play test.
Important Note: More than likely the start time will be closer 2030/2100 due to two members stating they will be slightly late to the 2000 starting time. We will still group up at the initial starting time and those that are able to join immediately will be able to ask any questions before we get started. As mentioned before, I'll be streamlining a few things just to get through as fast as possible since this is a mechanical play test for balance purposes.

Final reminder for tomorrow evenings session. Anyone who hasn’t joined the campaign by tomorrow 1600 EST will be considered to have voluntarily dropped. Don’t forget to join the discord and I’ll see you all tomorrow evening at 2000-2100 EST as people trickle in.

Hey are some places open I've been playing for some time now and I would really like to play my first high level campaign. I hope it's not to late!
There is one slot open and three potential slots from people who have not responded beyond the initial. This isn’t a campaign though, it’s a CR 30 boss fight for testing mechanical features. If you are still interested you are welcome to apply.

Hey yes I'm still interested I will fill out a character I suppose I can skip the bacstory?
Correct. No backstory is needed. This will be a bare-bones session to test the effectiveness of a boss for later fine tuning in a story arc.
As mentioned in previous posts, the fight won't have a map as all contestants will be assumed to be within a 30 by 25 foot room in which no matter where you go, a creature with at least 25 feet of movement will always be able to reach you. While this does mean tactically certain classes and features may excel and others be punished, this will be for the sake to keep turns quick and concise to collect data quickly.
Please consult the first post in the thread for a list of Legendary items that have already been claimed as well as a link to the Campaign. Discord is in the signature of all postings.

~6 Hour Warning for rerun session. As a reminder, the Discord link is in the bottom of all of my posts. If you have not already done so, make sure your character is submitted to the Campaign located on the first post.

Hey, I'd be happy to join if you have space. I've got plenty of DND experience, and some dynamic characters to add to an adventure party. Right now, I am preferential to my Genasi Warlock. My Discord is Roninronan#0961

Ah didn't see it in the list. I withdraw my app.
Point of order: I saw the sorceress took the -staff-.
Shouldn’t the robe still be available?

I could potentially do it Sunday. As always later in the evening is better since I need to put my kids to bed first.
I can do Sunday as well!
