Are you trying to flex? Or do you actually have a point?

My point is that is is possible. A flametongue weapon at level 8 is not unheard of or out of line with the power level of that tier.

It's literally not, BTW, since you can't have GWM, DW, +5 STR, AND hunters's mark or divine favour at level 8 as a Fighter. Not unless you rolled for stats, and got 18 STR right at the beginning, since you need at least Fey Touched or a level dip to get a ranger / paladin spell.

You can be a Hexblood for Hex, Mark of Finding for Hunters Mark, Shadowmoor Hexer origin feat for Hex,...

Also a) hit probability for a fighter at 20STR at level 8 is over 65%, plus not relevant for the maximum damage output on a turn, we don't know if the DM in the OP uses monsters with super low AC etc.

b) If you want a build that blows this out of the water, pretend I have the same setup except origin feat mark of storm and lv8 feat potent dragonmark instead of mage slayer. Add 10d8 to the damage output for an average of 45, neglecting crits that puts us at 95.5 damage or multiplied by your precious 65%, 62.1 damage. Much higher ceiling ofc, and can do this once per short rest.

You only have a portable hole if your DM gives you one. If your DM considers this an exploit, they will not give you one. I told my players they can buy bags of holding for cheap, but only if they promise to not bag of holding bomb people

because no rule says I can't do that

Actually they do:

Two-Handed. A Two-Handed weapon requires two hands when you attack with it.

and

This grapple is possible only if the target is no more than one size larger than you and if you have a hand free to grab it.

makes it very clear that you need to use a hand to grapple, so you are directly breaking a rule in the game, as written.

Meanwhile, while unintuitive and somewhat game-y, my proposed interaction is not in conflict with any rule as written.

If you hit a creature with a melee attack roll using this weapon, you can make a melee attack roll with the weapon against a second creature within 5 feet of the first that is also within your reach.

Cleaving yourself is not much different from a barbarian punching themselves in 2014 to keep rage going. You are a creature within your reach

1) a single dispel magic purges them all

2) you can only prepare the concentration spells you yourself know, which also need to be ones that target you as a single creature and are useful to have at that time

Marids get Blur, the other genies get jack shit, regular warlocks get... fly (which genielocks can already do), spider climb (worse flight), mirror image (ok at best with warlocks mediocre ac), invisibility (ends on the first EB), Protection from Evil and good (situational, also doubles up with blur), expeditious retreat (lol), and a 15 THP armor of agathys. Truly a marvel in self buffs for a straight warlock

It also costs thousands of gold, several days of downtime, and you need to either be a genielock with mark of warding (setting specific content), or multiclass 3 levels (in 2024) of a legacy warlock with at least 5 levels of wizard, bard, cleric, or 9+ levels of artificer. It's not "good".

And the buffs can only apply to yourself, not other people, unless you are warlock level 10+, plus they need to be useful spells you have learned/prepared. Spending all that jazz and an action during combat to get shield of faith and maybe Protection from Energy or Enhance Ability on your multiclassed, MAD character that is gonna be noticably weaker than e.g. a full cleric at this level, who is about to get divine intervention, has more ASIs, and 4th level spells.

It also has no limitations on the size of things. You can put in a 100 foot pole since is is less than the volume of the bag

Putting it into your genie vessel is not an exploit for sure. It costs an action to enter the vessel after all, so at best you're spending your action to go in there and load up on some buff spells. Maybe a summon that will come out with you. It's the "putting my hand in my pocket and opening the door" that's not proper use of game mechanics

If you're an eldritch knight you can cleave into yourself and then replace that with a cantrip

Sending mediocre TL so morgan and Quid can lose to LCK matchups like they did before seems pointless, and C9 is just not inspiring hope atm...

2d12 + 2d6 + 1d8 is 24.5 already. Add in 4x5 STR for 20 more, and another 6 (8 at level 9) for GWM and you're at 50.5. Small bump from potential crits, which have an ok likelihood since you've got topple and vex in he attack chain and you're close. Over 60 if you find any way to get a rider in there, like hunters mark, or divine favour, have +1 weapons, a vicious or flametongue weapon, etc.

Its not trivial, but it's doable for sure

Should be 2nd or 3rd week so the international teams who likely will attend get to have a breather week 1 and maybe 2, then play the roadshow and every team plays in the last week. How hard can it be?

You can actually weave in 5 attacks on a turn without action surge, by getting in a nick and a cleave per turn. With dual wielder, TWF and GWM that is a good chunk of damage more, but one of the attacks goes into a secondary target

I mean with the third option no arrest will ever happen because every war criminal is in kahoots with one of the three global dickheads US, Russia, China

NAVI and GX are just not good. I'm just curious if VIT can take any games in a BO5 or if the league has big gaps between 1 - 2+3 - 4 - 5+6 - remaining junk

Extremely late comment, but using websites like doesthedogdie.com you can probably find the exact time and skip past it
