Chaos Towers is our new combat-focused one-shot game type. More level 20 carnage like Escape, but this time there’s no low-combat option – just wave after wave of increasingly difficult combat encounters!

In summary:

• All official Wizards of the Coast books (including Critical Role) allowed for races, classes, sub-classes, backgrounds, creatures, items…
• No Homebrew or Unearthed Arcana
• Standard Array or Point Buy only for starting ability scores
• Or choose Dark Soul to use bot-rolled stats, class(es) and race
• Multi-class as many times as you want, as long as any ability prerequisites are met with base stats (before item bonuses)
• No duplicate sub-classes in party (must be different archetypes, schools, paths or orders)
• Customize your Origin using Tasha’s if you want
• Pick Feats for ASIs only if racial or other prerequisites are met
• Add standard Class or background starting equipment plus:
• Free magic items (no duplicates of these items in party):
  1 Legendary, 1 Very Rare, 1 Rare, 1 Uncommon, 1 Common (not consumable, no rarity downgrades)
  1 Consumable (any single-use potion/scroll/tattoo or with tag) up to Very Rare
• Free healing potion:
  3 charges, instant regain 100hp, only works on yourself
• Free Chaos Rest potion:
  1 charge, instant benefits of long rest
• No Artifacts
• Only Artificers can use Firearms
• No Wish spell or similar effects (no items with Wish feature)
• No Prismatic Wall, Simulacrum or Magic Jar spells
• Only equip one variant of an item (same name but +1/2/3 or other colour/level options)
• 2500gp for spell material components only
• No downtime beforehand for crafting or preparation
• No spell or time-limited class feature can be cast or activated in preparation for the tower, but permanent character effects apply – so items have been attuned or infused, spells are prepared and any tome/manual benefits applied
• 1 hour short rest or preparation between stage 1 (initial waves) and stage 2 (final battle)
• Come prepared for flying, teleporting, magic, martial and deadly monsters!

Good luck!
