This is a Dungeons and Dragons 5E event.
**Season 4 starts Wednesday June 7th and ends Friday September 8th**
The Arena awaits the souls of those destined for combat. The Master of Conflict forged a realm from the primordial essence of the Astral Plane, and created a demiplane known to adventurers and luminaries from around the multiverse as The Arena. Herein, those selected participate in deadly combat. Winners gain fame and fortune, while the fallen are forgotten.
The Arena is a game focused on player vs monsters combat, great for learning the raw mechanics of the game, & trying out new builds. Players can bring 1 to 4 characters for arena-play, or a pre-generated character can be provided by the store. Use the point-buy system, average HP rounded up for levels 2-20. As a house-rule, all arena characters start with a feat. Variant humans & custom lineage are not playable races in the arena. The Arena is drop in/drop out. Your characters will retain all prestige and loot earned from game to game.
All official wizards of the coast 5e books are fair game, & you can use any number of books for your builds. All arena characters start at 1st level.
The phases of play are as follows:
- Players and DM prepare. Ask questions, precast spells, purchase items, etc.
- Players will be teleported into the arena and their objective is to survive, find the treasure, and defeat all enemies. If the loot is not secured by the time the enemy is defeated, loot will be forfeit.
- Roll initiative
- Try and Survive...
Gameplay starts at 5:30, but tables may start forming at 5pm as players and DMs arrive. If the tables are full and you would like to play, please let the DMs know. We will do our best to get you on the next match as we do multiple sessions each Arena day (Wednesday / Friday).
**Characters that competed in the arena prior to the current season will not be eligible to join, players will need to create new characters each season.
This event is at Off The Shelf Games and there is a $5.00 entrance fee for non-members to the store.
