Balor Day

Welcome to the first annual Balor Day, a celebration of the contributions and achievements of the mighty balor to life in the Forgotten Realms. On this celebratory day each year, we pay homage to this indomitable demon by attempting to best it in one-on-one combat. To participate, build a character using the following restrictions:

• The character may be up to 20th level.
• You may use any rules from any combination of official physical sourcebooks published by Wizards of the Coast for fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons (which means no Unearthed Arcana and no third party sourcebooks), except for the Lucky feat.
• Generate your character’s ability scores using the 27-point variant found on page 13 of the Player’s Handbook.
• The character may have any amount of mundane gear or materials it can physically carry (and Common magic items, if you really think they’re necessary).
• The character may have at most one Very Rare, two Rare, and three Uncommon magic items (adhering to attunement rules as normal).
• Please cite your sources for all feats, abilities, and equipment, because we will double-check your character for legality before your battle begins.

Each time you enter, you’ll get a shot at defeating a balor in one-on-one combat, but be advised that this is no ordinary run-of-the-mill balor, and we’ll be keeping quiet ahead of time on the details of both the balor’s enhancements and the battle arena itself. Defeat the balor and you win $20 store credit. Lose and you only feed the creature’s legend! This is intended as much as a spectator event as it is a player event, so please be advised that you may have to watch other adventurers try their hands at defeating the mighty balor while you await your turn. The upshot here is that you can show up at any time during this event, and need not be present right at 4:00 pm.
