Carceri, The Prison Plane. Three layers of unending mazes and loss. A place where the souls of traitors and backstabbers go to rot, eternally wandering that endless madness. Fitting of this special kind of hell, however, there is a form of sadistic hope. The Rings of Carceri. An arena where bloody fights to the death are held. Seven concentric rings make up the arena, each one beginning to spin at certain intervals, each having a detrimental effect on those within the rings. If no fighter claims victory by the time the last ring begins to spin, Carceri wins yet again, and their souls are forever doomed to an existence of nothingness. However, should one of these desperate gladiators claim a perverse victory before time runs out, Carceri sets their soul free, and they may leave the Prison Plane in peace.
This is a trial run for a revival of Fight Club, that I am hoping will remain in action and satisfy the bloodlust of min-maxing murderhobos.
I am hoping that my only role here is to tell when the rings start spinning, the effect it has on your characters, and act as a judge when fights inevitably erupt surrounding whether or not a player may do something. The first ring that begins spinning will cut off inter/extra dimensional passages, meaning any effect (Racial, class feature, or spell) that creates a demiplane or teleports will be rendered effectively useless. The other rings beyond that are a mystery, and you will simply have to be surprised when their effects take hold. This will be a free-for all battle, last person standing will be declared winner, truces, deals, alliances and other such versions of teaming up are not prohibited but are strongly discouraged, remember that you are on the prison plane of backstabbers and traitors, and there can only be one victor. Additionally, once initiative is rolled, that will be the order of combat and I do expect you to remember your place in initiative, if it is stuck on your turn for 24 hours and you still have not posted, your character is considered to have forfeit and you will be eliminated from the game. Lastly, I will create a new thread in the PbP section for the fight itself, which I sincerely hope will not take longer than a week. Last time I tried this some fights could last for ~a month.
To apply I simply need a name, a class, and a subclass. Backgrounds are neither necessary nor encouraged, however the starting gold may be used to buy extra materials. Your level will be 5, you will use either point buy or standard array. Your character will not be starting with any magic items. Official content only please, please don't use One DND content and no Homebrew.
I will only be accepting six fighters into the ring, so please act fast as this will essentially be a first come first served. (Note; first come first served does not mean "If I put in a placeholder I'll get a spot" it means the first six to post fully created characters will be accepted.)
Good Luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
Favouritism: the practice of giving unfair preferential treatment to one person or group at the expense of another. People in this forum need to stop this kind of stuff or there will be a truckload of backlash you hear me? Just 1 campaign to be accepted in. That's what the people want. Then we don't have to endure this mess anymore.
