I'm attempting to get my kids involved in dungeons and dragons and so I've decided to run a tournament to get them started. I'm also new to being a dm so I feel like it'll be easier to run a tournament instead of a campaign. I've set rules and rewards for the character that they'll be able to keep when we move into a real campaign. I'm curious of how to nerf higher tier monsters to make it not just a pk tournament.
Make them adolescent or younger and reduce their attributes and special features however you see fit or make them elderly or pre-damaged cursed etc…
pick monsters you feel like running and visually make them look like something else.
whatever makes the most sense to you, but sometimes getting really close to being killed is nail bitting and also fun, don’t discount imagination when a player gets desperate, they get creative trying to survive.
