ok, so, backstory real quick. I have some DnD friends who love to min-max, and started thinking how most of the campaigns I make are mostly roleplay and low level... but I want CHAOS!
Here are the rules:
You start Lvl1 😢, but will level up for every battle you survive. NOT Win... but survive. In this gladiatorial fighting, you can die, but are revived due to an Ancient Legendary Gladiator revival spell.
Gladiator style fights. will include 1 vs 1, team vs team, 1 vs 1 w/ monsters, monster battles, team monster battles.
If you win, I will reward you with and item(s) or other thing.
If you lose, you will get a penalty.
If you survive, you will level up.
If you die, you will go down a level (you stay Lvl1 if that's what you were).
If you win a battle at Lvl20, YOU WILL STILL GET REWARDS. You, instead of leveling up, will get another Ability Score improvement. You can get all stats above 20.
There will be veeeeery light lore, but mostly combat. An ancient-rome type setting where you fight in an arena. Also kinda like the most recent DnD movie.
Link to Campaign (post your character there, as well as a brief description on this OG post):
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Definitely interested! I've roleplayed in some fun campaigns, but for me roleplay is mainly extra fluff, tactics and combat form the core of any good RPG.
