Basketball in 5e

How about we start with "no magic" and "no flight"?

Dogs cannot play.

A rogue swashbuckler would have some sweet moves on the court.

Roll initiative every round.

Move as normal, can use action to Pass, Shoot, or Steal.

Passing is a DC 10 Dexterity check, Shooting is a DC 15 Dexterity check. Both have a range of 15/60 (so past 15 feet you have disadvantage on the check).

Stealing can be done against the current ball-owner if they're within 5 feet of you with opposed Dexterity checks. If you're within 5 feet of the line of a Pass or Shoot, you can use your reaction to Steal, making a Dexterity check against the player's check for Passing or Shooting.

Ah right.

If you fail a Shoot, it bounces off the backboard. If you fail by 5 or more, it goes out of bounds.

On a failed Pass, the ball goes 1d6 * 10 feet in a straight line toward where you passed, and someone in the line of the pass can use their reaction to pick up the ball, no check required.

Adjust and adjudicate as-needed.

No! There is simply no reason to do this! Why must you fuckers try to force D&D to model every god damn thing? Fuck you! I don't know what game can model basketball best but I am sure as fuck that it is not a game about dungeon crawling fantasy combat.

Hey, anon, I think you need to shut up and slam.

I can see a Battlemaster fighter being a very good player. I almost want to say a subsystem of being able to bid or spend hit points (as an abstract to measure of vitality and injury instead of flat injury) or bid levels of fatigue to get bonuses on those checks or for extra movement.

You're in Maztica and have been captured for ritual sacrifice, unless you can beat the champions at a game of elbowing or kicking a ball through opposed vertical hoops!

Also, dribbling should cost movement. Like, every 10ft of movement costs 5ft for dribbling.

Someone alert me when we get a pdf for this. If honestly throw a couple bucks at drivethrurpg for this or any major league sport really.

5e is not GURPS. 5e is not SW. Hell, 5e isn't even 3.PF. 5e is a very specialized game, for a very narrow spectrum of games, and it's damn-near perfect for that small purview, but it does not stretch itself as well as you are used to D&D stretching from the last two editions.

OP here, and I like the things people suggested. I'll post something in the 5eg after this game goes down, just to let you guys know how it goes.
