Quest Level: 20
Format: PBP, Avrae, Owlbear
Expected Duration: 3-5 hours (If it reaches 5 hours, I'll probably forcefully stop the combat.)
The group has been dealing with a lot of stuff lately, and they need to blow off some steam. Here's hoping things wouldn't turn out like last time.
DM Table Rules:
2014 Grapple rules.
Prebuffs are limited to 3 castings per character with a duration of 1 hour minimum. 8 hours+ are free, but still counts towards the limit.
Flanking on opposite sides will give advantage. Even with more than 2 attackers, there still needs to be at least a pair in opposite sides, though in that case, everyone will get the advantage. Please don't make a conga-line though.
Potions are BA.
You may take an Action to use a Bonus Action. Not the other way around.
Concentration checks are capped at 30 for players and uncapped for NPCs.
Rule of Cool and RP/flavor-based skills are definitely a thing in my quests to an extent. And if you feel like your build isn't doing much for the quest, I'm open to changing the rules slightly. I want people to have fun in my quests, not sit there doing nothing because your build needs a specific trigger for it to happen.
Drawing Aggro is very much a thing I use in my quests. You do something to draw aggro of someone in RP, and it will carry over to combat. Depending on whether or not you pushed the right buttons (and how hard you do it), you may not even have to make an ability check. Tanks, make use of this. Squishies... try not to piss anyone off.
Note: I'm not here aiming to kill everyone, and this is a non-lethal sparring match anyway. If your hp reaches 0, you will not perform any death saving throws and will instantly be stabilized. You may still roll a d20 each turn and see if you get a 20, and if you do, you get back up with 1 hp, as per the usual rules. You will get full rewards no matter what unless you leave the quest halfway.
If you be an ass and try to kill them though, well... remember that they will have backup and are not shy about going lethal.
