Question 1

What is the No TPK Challenge?

Accepted Answer

The No TPK Challenge is a free D&D party draft game where you build a 5-member adventuring party across 5 rounds. Each round, you roll a random class, pick from available subclasses, and assign a party role. Your party is scored 0–100 based on base power, role coverage, and synergy between your picks.

Question 2

What does TPK mean in D&D?

Accepted Answer

TPK stands for Total Party Kill — when every player character dies in the same encounter. The No TPK Challenge dares you to build a party so well-composed that they could survive anything.

Question 3

How is Party CR scored?

Accepted Answer

Party CR is scored on a 0–100 scale based on three factors: the weighted average base power of your subclass picks (your weakest pick counts double), role coverage bonus for filling Frontline, Healer, Damage, and Support roles, and synergy bonuses or penalties from how your subclass choices interact.

Question 4

Do I need an account to play?

Accepted Answer

No. The No TPK Challenge is completely free and requires no login. You only enter a display name if your score qualifies for the Hall of Heroes.
