hello, i have beaten the game solo no consumables multiple times, and i miss playing a team. so i thought of some rules that may add challenge and fun for a 4 man team play. i haven't tried it yet, but i think it looks good.

have less survivability rules

1. no consumables (healing potions, elixirs, scrolls, arrows, bombs)

2. no shields

3. no shield spells (protect your caster folks)

4. no haste

(so thats a total of 9 less potential AC)

deal less damage rules

1 only ONE special/unique equipment per character, everything else must be generic +1 gear

2. no wet double damage

3. no tavern brawler/ great weapon master/ sharpshooter

4 no tadpoles

team composition rules

1 no repeat classes

2 two class MAX multiclass (rule one also applies here, for example 1 of your character multiclasses into fighter, all of the remaining party members cannot multiclass into fighter as well.)

2.1 your first 5 levels must be pure (one class only), no respec.

3 one aoe caster per team, all other members must do target select offense. ( this is to avoid a party of 4 different classes all casting aoe fireballs that might trivialize the game.

4 (optional) follow the classic team composition of melee + ranged + aoe offense + pacifist life cleric healer (honestly you'll probably need one with all the bonus AC restrictions). team must have a theme, for example radiant team, (aoe)light cleric, paladin, open hand monk. NOTE: optional pacifist life cleric ignores the first team composition rule, so two clerics in this example)

4.1 try fighting without the optional life cleric first as a trio, then reload and retry with cleric if you lose combat. (custom honor ruleset is already here after all for reloading purposes.)

note: some of these rules might seem limiting, but honestly i think veterans and sweaty gamers will find these rules quite refreshing.

possible dead end -
what if the rules gets your team stuck on a boss like myrkul? if this happens, i think the first rule the player should adjust is the 1 special equipment per character, make it two per, and so on.

i just got my first oled monitor a week ago (qd oled), asus xg27aqdmes and black does indeed look black. 🤑⬛🖤

i read its recommended to use the monitor in a dark room. i tried it and it does indeed look better, but after 10 minutes i turned on the lights again for eye comfort.

should i just game with the lights on or is there a good alternative? like having a light source at the back of the monitor, not sure what those are called, is that a good option for eye comfort?

i went with qd oled instead of woled cause google said it was better in a bunch of things.
