It is finally time for the long awaited battle between the faithful servants of Jeff and the heretics who dare oppose him. The time for arguments has passed. The time for diplomacy has come and gone, now there is only one option. Only one question remains...
Who is worthy of glory?
As is the custom among all civilized peoples, there is but one proper way to settle such a dispute...
BLOODSHED!
Champions of both sides shall meet in honorable combat, each battle bringing their cause one step closer to ultimate victory. When the dust settles and the final blow has been struck, the side with the greatest number of victories shall claim glory for their chosen cause, while the defeated are left to contemplate the error of their beliefs. (Great error for some lol)
So sharpen your blades. Ready your spells. Steel your resolve.
Whether you fight in the name of Jeff THE EVIL ROOMBA or as one of the misguided souls who seek His downfall, know this...
Only one side shall leave the arena triumphant.
Now step forward, and settle your differences with glorious violence!
Thread Rules
No 18+ descriptions or content, there is absolutely no reason for it here, and if you must, take it to PMs.
Please cut quote chains, I know from experience how awful it can be as a mobile player to read through huge chains of text. Also, please don’t post five times in a row, just it into one comment.
I know this is a combat thread, but please no fighting OOC and keep arguing to a minimum, just keep the thread respectful all round.
Talk OOC like *This*
Praise Jeff in your first message to show that you’ve read the rules ;).
Combat Rules
No prep time, all spells and abilities must be activated during the fight.
Characters start within 10 ft of each other, at which time initiative is rolled.
The arena is a large cave roughly 60X60 the roof of the cave is about 20ft high, and can easily be climbed up to.
The environment of the arena is very strange, flora and fauna from many ecological biomes living here, this dense life makes it easy to find cover. Players can find quarter cover by rolling over 2 on a d6 as a bonus action on a turn they have not moved on or over a 3 on a turn they have. Whenever they move from this position they lose this cover.
Character Creation
2014 rules, this being 5th edition, not 5.5e so please use the correct source of rules. If people want we can do a second round with 5.5e rules.
Characters start at LV 20 and may multiclass.
Character creation uses core rules. This means no homebrew, unofficial sources, or extra unbalanced content such as GGR or MMC.
Any race may be used, but their stats fall under Tasha’s Custom Lineage so not everyone has to play races with broken abilities such as the Warforged, Winged Tiefling, ect.
For ability scores use either point buy of the standard array.
All characters start with a set amount of magic items of each rarity, these being: 1 Legendary, 1 Very Rare, 2 Rare, 2 Uncommon, and 3 Common magic items.
Try to find somewhere to link your character sheet, I haven't yet decided where, might just want to PM me. It's just so that no one changes their character during a fight, uses banned content, ect.
Banned Items and Spells
This is a lot of stuff, I'm fairly confident in all the things I have banned, but if you disagree or don't understand my reasoning for banning an item just PM me and I'll explain and discuss changing the rule, I totally free to having less banned abilities, especially when it came to my spell choices, just put this as a starting point. Also, if I missed anything, please tell me so I can add it to the list.

Bag of holding and Portable hole
One time consumables including potions (excluding healing).
Items that recharge over periods of time longer than a week.
Items that grant flying speed or evasive ability great enough so that the other participant cannot participate in the duel.
Alright everyone! Fight honorably, respect your fellow players, and have fun. When the dust settles, only one side will remain standing!
(I have a bit more rules about the pairing system/points for a victory that I cant get to tonight, but they don't matter too much for character creation and I'll post them tomorrow)
Lil confused about the spell bannings as someone who prefers to play martials and half casters, seems like most spells you’ve removed remove actions. Correct me if I’m wrong though, but this feels very strategy limiting. I think the magic item bans are okay for most of them, although I don’t understand bag of holding? Idk. I might find a lot that seems wrong if I looked through this, but even from a scan, it seems weird. This feels very versatility valuing, so like if you had a specific build you wouldn’t be able to use it. Which isn’t cool imo, because if you have a specific build you should have the chance to use it and see it get countered/succeed.
I think y’all should talk through the rules a bit (Ash and Tana and anyone else who wants to add anything). I’m just gonna chill over here with some popcorn.

Yeah I'm not fighting. Not my ruleset. Not my spells and not my rules.
Hello! Call me Tana or 타나
My pronouns are Any/All/BOC
Current List of Children: Golden, Salem, Wes, Aspen, Link, SuperDog, and Foalin.
Current Dice Code: [roll]1d6[/roll] + [roll]1d6[/roll] + [roll]1d6[/roll] + [roll]1d6[/roll] + [roll]1d6[/roll] = [roll][roll:-5]+[roll:-4]+[roll:-3]+[roll:-2]+[roll:-1][/roll]

Nor do I have the time left on this device for that. Because I leave this site for at least a year on August 7th.

And I see absolutely no reason to ban half the spell and magical items.
