**UPDATED** Halloween Battle Royale Solo One-Shot

Each character starts with 1 incorporeal soul coin hanging from a chord around their neck. Removing the chord (and all attached coins) requires an action while the character is incapacitated, and immediately results in the owner's death with no revival possible. Any player action that results in another player’s hp dropping to 0 immediately extracts all soul coins from the dead character and magically transfers them to the victorious player's chord. A character that drops to 0 hp through actions not caused by other players (such as falling or other self-inflicted damage) will follow standard 5e rules for dying and bleeding out. Whichever character owns the majority of soul coins at the end of the contest wins. The battle continues until only one player remains, time expires or three consecutive turns elapse with no players taking any damage (after turn 10).

Secret Actions:
In a Battle Royale the job of the DM is more to act as a neutral referee to insure compliance to RAW, timekeep and adjudicate secret actions, rather than shaping the narrative. Actions of a secret nature, such as hidden movement or casting spells, can be declared secretly to the DM, which could take the form of passing sticky notes, text messages, or simply whispering; whatever is easiest.

Spellcasting & Spell Identification:
The rules for spellcasting on Xanathar's p.85 are in full effect. When casting a spell the character should simply declare they are casting a spell (including whether there are V, S, or M components), and secretly inform the DM what they cast. Other players must then have an opportunity to react, such as by casting Counterspell or identifying the spell. 

Miscellaneous Rules:
- Additional matches may be run if the first match is over quickly.
- The match will adhere to pure 5e Rules As Written.
- All characters must be level 5 and adhere to AL rules. In Tier 2 the maximum number of magic items that can be carried or used at one time is three.
- Build a new level 5 using Season 11 AL rules or bring your own pre-existing level 5 AL character. (No characters lower or higher than level 5 are allowed)
- The match is only a dream and will not affect the actual AL character in any way afterwards.
