And I'm back! Life still isn't great, but I'm bringing some degree of cash in through Paid DMing now (more on this at the bottom) so feel okay to start these back up again!
Thank you for the support everyone, it means a lot to me!
The Concept: The Lone Wanderer
This time your aim to to make the most complete lone adventurer you can, aiming to cover everything from combat, healing to skill checks and utility. There is no party and any assistance or companions you have are only there because you either summoned them or made them through a class feature.
Some rules for guidance:
-No UA, only officially published materials
-You must include a stat array (Point Buy or Standard Array)
-Build to 20 with insights on how the build hands at levels 5, 11, 17 and 20 (include hp and AC at each point for each of reading)
-Multiclassing and feat optional rules in play
-Variants for races available (V. Human, Dragonmarks, SCAG variants)
-No magic items unless you have a way to create them from a class feature
-Normal starting items and gold, mundane armor upgrades be assumed to happen during tier 2 (so you can mention Plate/Half Plate in your commentary but you can only include it in snapshots for levels 11,17 and the final 20).
-Catchy names and fluff are not a requirement but are always nice to read
Suggested format:
Level 20 level split:
Race:
Stats: Str x Dex x Con x Int x Wis x Cha x
Background:
Starting level:
Any guidance or commentary you want
At 5th level:
Any guidance or commentary you want
At 11th level:
Any guidance or commentary you want
At 17th level:
Any guidance or commentary you want
At 20th level and final thoughts:
Voting:
To sort the wheat from the chaff we'll vote on builds and declare a 'winner' (a concept that will hopefully continue in future threads and put the contest into this), to vote simply make a post quoting the build you want to vote for (snipping the content to keep things getting out of hand) and say something that indicates you're voting e.g. +1, get's my vote etc.
-Each user only gets one vote but you can edit your post at any time before the deadline to change your mind.
-If you submit a build, you must vote for someone for your entry to be considered valid
-A user can submit more than one build but they must be in separate posts (and not back to back to respect forum rules)
-You cannot vote for yourself
-Each throwdown thread will run for 7 days after which no new builds will be accepted for contention, when the build deadline has closed votes will be accepted. The voting deadline will be three days after the build deadline, votes will be tallied and the winner announced (any vote edits after the deadline has passed will also not be counted, if the original vote cannot be seen the vote will be null and void).
Solo Tour build deadline/Voting opens: 21/09/2020 @ 8pm BST/3pm ET
Voting deadline: 26/09/2020 @ 8pm BST/3pm ET
PLEASE NOTE THAT VOTING IS NOW ONLY ONCE THE BUILD DEADLINE HAS PASSED.
I'm looking forward to what all the optimisers around here come up with so without further ado, let's THROWDOWN
For any powergamers interested I'm now running arena style combats where the more arena rosters you survive the more levels and loot you earn, this could be a great way to test out any and all throwdown entries you may be proud of! Please bear in mind that this is a paid thing to try and support myself and my partner at the moment, any consideration is appreciated but the support you've all shown so far with your kindness is already so much, so no worries if this isn't for you!
Hmmm... Maybe yurei won't win. Not sure she'll be up for this. I may have to make a build for this first, then take up that offer... Fun and it will help you. I am waiting for this. I know I can TRY and win.
