Just a little addendum to the previous e-mail. Because I so greatly enjoy 
killing things in D&D I will be running another round of the Demonic Arena of Death.
The story goes something like this...

Each one of you is a mighty and battle hardened adventurer. You have faced
great evil/good (depending on your alignment of course) and trounced it at every
turn. Bards sing songs of your epic deeds and your name is praised/cursed
throughout the land. Maybe this is why the demons came and kidnapped you in your
sleep. The forces of darkness have taken you to the lower planes to battle for
your freedom against other adventurers for their sick, twisted amusement. The
last one standing gets to go free, the rest get to do this again next week. Who
will survive?

There are six slots open for this 2.5ed D&D one-shot, first come, first serve.
Either bring a an 11th level equivilant character or create one on the spot (as
many of the builder books as I can get my hands on will be provided) Twink out
your character to the best of your ability and be prepared for the fight of
your life. The rules are as follows.


1. Only humanoid races are allowed. They can have an ECL adjustment, just as
long as they are humanoid.
2. No templates. Bloody Savage Species, making life more twink-tastic...
3. Standard starting gold for a 11th level character, no more than half of
which can be spent on one item, the rest of the items must be less than a quarter
of the starting gold.
4. I get to approve any character before the game starts. The Demons that run
this arena like an interesting fight. They frown upon boring or cheap tactics
and will do whatever it takes to make the fight more interesting.
5. You are allowed to use any licensed D&D material. No pclasses you pick up
out of dragon magazine or create on your own. They are just too broken.
6. Only 1 ring allowed, the other ring slot is taken up by a ring of 4 lives.
When you die the first three times your are brought back to life at a random
entrance to the arena. The fourth time you are teleported back to your holding
cell to await another battle.

That's about it. If come up with any other rules, I'll be sure to send them
out.
