The link for the entry of "Puzzle Battles" does not appear to be working. When I use the link in the voting form, it leads to Revised Fighter. When I use the link in the OP's comment, it leads to a collection of monster stat blocks

For my Warlock subclass, someone was wondering how the Talisman of Immunity worked as far as being immune to the spell effect. I largely based it off of the Spell Immunity trait of a Helmed Horror, which just states it is immune to three spells. I think a cursory reading would mean you are immune to any effect or damage associated with casting that spell.
For Composite Weapon, it honestly isnt super mechanically impactful, but it does save the Bladelock from needing to stow & draw weapons. I think the more potentially impactful feature is that you can take a magic item you have and extend its ability to a second type of weapon. But, honestly, it was more just a cool thematic idea I wanted to play with. Im sure theres some way to buff it mechanically

There's two links: the link under Contestants in post #1 of this thread, and the link in the voting survey. Both link to a page of monster stat blocks for me, so I didn't vote on that entry.

Welcome to the end of our 22nd competition. It's been my honor to be host for the second time, and with so many entries! 28 submissions by 13 contestants! I'm sorry it took a while to crunch all the numbers haha. And spoiler alert, all our winners scored above an 8!
DM WINNER
We have seen the meek and humble gather to see who is the least, but definitely the best of the least. Our winner is: MinMaxxed Their cleverly referenced Brick of Leh-goh scored a 8.625
PLAYER WINNER
The average definitely scored, but were they better then just a passing grade? One certainly was a stand-out! Our winner is: Gnomarchy Their humble working-class background of the Janitor scored a 8.375
INTERACTIVE WINNER
Finally we go from meek and average to overpowered in our final category of giant obstacles that are beyond us, but not beyond being judged. Our winner is: Kaboom979 Their foreboders of threats to come the Heralds scored a 8.571
OVERALL WINNER
With all this in mind, that means our overall winner is:
MinMaxxed
Congratulations, and good luck on the next one! I'll look forward to participating And for those wanting to see the full scores you can view the calculation table here.
With all this in mind, that means our overall winner is:
MinMaxxed

Finally got around to voting. It's so neat to see what everyone came up with!
(Too bad I never got around to balancing my entries as suggested... but I'm so excited to be participating!)
I want to remind everyone to ALWAYS vote 5 for your own submissions, I suspect some people are not doing this, and that's leaving points on the table.

That's what the puzzle battles are I guess, they're statblocks where the goal is to figure out what to do I guess.
That's the link GalacticAxeKick supplied
