Come and Die: D&D Lair Assault

I couldn't put it in any better words so I will borrow from dndinsider and let you read what the program is about.

Synopsis

"D&D Lair Assault has been designed for a quality, fun, super-challenging play experience that really encourages repeat play. We've designed the kits to accommodate as many players as possible by keeping the focus on the play experience, accomplishments, and bragging rights. Rather than making the challenge all about obtaining a physical "prize," it's about having a great time playing a fun D&D game available nowhere else."

 Character Creation

Wizards have outlined specific criteria on design for characters.  Here is the nitty-gritty of it:

"Each D&D Lair Assault challenge will specify a level. The first D&D Lair Assault, Forge of the Dawn Titan, is 5th level. Players bring characters of the challenge’s level to your scheduled event to participate. Characters higher or lower level than the challenge’s level are not allowed.

We use straightforward rules to equip characters for their deadly battles. Each character receives one magic item of one level higher than their level (level + 1), one of their level (level + 0), and one of one level lower than their level (level – 1). In addition, characters receive gold pieces equal to the value of one magic item of one level lower than their level (level – 1) to by other equipment they think they’ll need. Each character may have no more than two consumable items (like potions or magic ammunition) equal to or less than the challenge’s level, and no more than one rare magic item. Note that players may equip their characters with magic items that are less than the stated levels if they so choose.
So, to use our 5th level example above, each character would have one 6th level, one 5th level and one 4th level magic item, plus 840 gold pieces to spend on other equipment (both mundane and magical)."
