Not necessarily, you can keep it to yourself unless if it's required or asked for by a Gamemaster. For secrecy and stuff.
Could the two people fighting be required to exchange sheets at the beginning of the match? It’ll help prevent fudging health and make matches run quicker by being able to check the AC when needed. Plus, it’s at the start of the match anyway so you can’t build just to beat the one sheet

When? How? Where? Are we doing it through this forum? Is it during weekdays?
I do not know why but my device always doubles the quotes.

Hmmm, true. I'll add that. If you weren't a player I'd ask if you wanted to be a Gamemaster lol, you've been helping out a lot.

Whenever both current contestants are ready, through the forums, on this thread. It doesn't need to be any particular time for both to be on because of how the forums work.
So I know you probably already are making the bracket, but I think this might be the most people we get, and I was bored felt like being a helpful little dude, so...
Here (just the prelims, so no seeds yet. After the prelims are done and we're all seeded, then I'll make the bracket):

Alright, the other arenas. Will there be more after this? Maybe, maybe not. 12's a decent amount. I'm gonna move onto maps for the currently existing ones unless if I have enough good ideas to increase the table to a d20.
Forest. Unless if the contestants are within 5 feet of each other, they both have advantage on stealth checks as they can easily hide behind trees. (I thought I had posted this before tbh)
Desert- This desert is extremely hot, as it is a desert. At each corner of the map are pools of water that contestants can use a bonus action to drink from. Otherwise, they gain 1 level of exhaustion for every 2 rounds they don't drink, with water removing 1 level each time it's drank.
Additionally, when magic items spawn there will be 2 of them. However, only one of them will be real and the other one is a mirage. A DC 15 Perception or Insight check can be made to determine which one is real.
Pure Darkness. Kinda a more hardcore forest. Contestants can only see within 15 feet of them unless if they have something besides darkvision to light things up, and their movements are posted in spoilers when they aren't able to be seen by their opponent (using the honor system here, if you want to be really secret you can just PM).
Wizard War Aftermath- It is quite literally raining fireballs here. There's cover here and there, but if you can't get to it in time then things will be rough. Any creature that starts its turn without cover automatically is hit by a fireball without a Dex Save that ignores resistance and is only halved by immunity.
The Floor Is Lava. Like Seriously You Don't Want To Fall Because It Is Not Fake Lava It Will Very Much Hurt Because It Is Real Molten Lava- When a tile is stood on, 1 round after it will collapse and fall into the lava. It will not be replaced, so contestants have to maneuver around more and more as the game goes on. For this map in particular, tiles are 10 feet wide and therefore can be shared by two creatures, but obviously you can try to push each other off and it'll collapse after that either way. Falling into the lava deals 10d6 fire damage that ignores resistance and is only halved by immunity.
Don't Look Behind You...- There is a boulder that rolls and chases down the contestants. Being crushed by the boulder is an instant loss, and the only way to not get crushed by it is to run down an infinite hallway until the match is over. The bolder has a speed of 30 feet and starts 60 feet away from the contestants.
This probably needs refining but I'm gonna do that later. I am now going to put this in the OP and go to bed, I need sleep. Goodnight.

I think we should just give AC at the start but not show the sheet because then resistances and immunities are basically useless.

No? They aren’t? Plus it’s equal footing for both people, you know eachother’s sheet. And it helps show that neither person has something to hide. This isn’t a mind game, it’s a character sheet battle, and your resistances will be obvious anyway from whatever race or class you pick. Most classes don’t get either.

I disagree completely. Resistances and immunities are still very useful. Sharing sheets just keeps everyone honest, and means everyone catches any accidental rules violations before the match starts.

Yeah, and Cyno's way of sharing sheets before you fight someone is perfect. So no one can build to destroy someone else, but people will know exactly the truths of your char
No, we are literally playing them. It's just like regular DND combat, just between PCs.

This is 2024 rules that is still 5e.

By 5e I meant 2014. Some people call 2024 rules 5.5e, which is why I referred to it as 5e particularly. I'll add that to the OP.

Do you want me to make a 2014 character I will go ahead and have it ready if so.
And what do you mean by sig.
1. Yes.
2. Signature, it's the little thing under everyone's post. Although it's not visible to a lot of people on the app.
