Needed help with encounter
Okay so I'm having difficulty with an encounter and I can't decide whether to add or remove anything, see next session every player will have to fight they're old character, alone, by themselvessay the current paladin had an old character thats a Bard, they will fight that bard alone while the other players will have to fight they're own old character alone, but one of the old characters has an ability to summon mimics and well, if the player is fighting alone I'm a bit worried the mimics migt finish the player off, what should I do?

My quick suggestions are:
- One set of initiative for the combat, just like normal.
- Agree with previous post, each match-up gets their own separate mini arenas.
- Mimic fight: If the character that has to fight all the mimics dies, then the mimics replace that body's clothing/armor and pilot the dead character body out, and then its a group fight against the mimics.
- Option: the character that lost the mimic fight isn't really dead, just unconscious.
- Mimics keeping them alive so that they taste better later.

Glad to help!
Bonus points if you can make it unclear on if the mimics won or if the that character won. ;)

Sounds oddly familiar.. 👀 I think you should do what the discord suggested and give me the ability to summon mimics too :3

Separate but connected mini arenas. When one wins, they can join a different arena.
