  • Welcome to the Arena! Here you can battle other players as well as bet on the battles.

    1. Before each match starts, players will sign up in the match’s thread and choose a class. A class may be randomly given by the Host if a player so chooses. Spectators may place bets on players at this point like so: Player Name: Wager. Please open an account at the Bank before betting.

    2. When the application period is concluded, all bets will be locked in.

    3. At the start of the match, the Host will roll for initiative for each player, determining the combat order for the first round. If there are equal initiative rolls, additional rolls will be used to determine who comes first. After the combat order is determined, the Host will post for all to see.

    4. At this point, the Host will ask for all players to Personal Message them what their actions and who their targets will be. The players will have 48 hours to PM their action.

    5. There are two stances: offensive and defensive. Stances are set/changed right before an action is performed and will stay the same until changed before another action.
           1. Offensive stance is the default stance and has no effect on damage given or received.
           2. Defensive stance reduces damage taken by 1d10. A player in defensive stance may attack, but their attack is a 1d20-10 roll. Negative damage is counted as a miss.

    6. There are three basic actions: attack, block, and use an ability. Only one action may be performed per turn.
           a. The default attack is a 1d20 roll, which the Host will perform.
           b. Blocking reduces all damage targeted at the player by half (rounded down). Blocking can only occur while in defensive stance. Blocking will last until another action is performed on the next round.
           c. Each class has a different special ability which only it can perform. Unless stated otherwise, each ability can only be performed once every three rounds, and each ability has a separate cooldown. Passive abilities last until another action is performed on the next round.

    7. Each player’s action will literally occur in the combat order (unless affected by changed initiative), and the results will be posted by the Host at my discretion, though in a timely manner.

    8. The Host will reroll for initiative to determine the next round’s combat order, and the rest of the process will repeat until only one player remains.

    9. Each player will start with 40 health points. A player may not be healed over the 40 HP cap.

    10. If a player does not perform an action, they will receive 1d5 damage. Each subsequent turn of inactivity will increase the die by 5, meaning the second turn would be 1d10, the third 1d15, etc.

    11. At the end of the battle, the winning player will receive the prize, and the betting spectators will either gain or lose credits depending on their wagers. This will all be recorded in a post at the Bank, and the relevant Bank accounts will be updated.

    12. Each battle may have different rules, so make sure to read through the thread’s original post before playing.

    If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or ideas, please post them below. I may change how some things work with time as this is still new.

    Enjoy, and play responsibly.  :)

  • Since this current game seems to coming to end, I want to suggest what we do for the next one. So, as of I know, there are 3 different possible games, every man for themselves, small teams,(multiple teams of either 2 or 3 people each) or mega teams.(two giant teams against each other) I would love to see to see how a round of mega-teams would go :P But, of course, that is just my opinion.

    Also, I would like to suggest a new class, the Jester. It's abilities would go around the focus of them taking damage, such as:

    1. Equalize (The player chooses to use this on a target, then for that turn, does nothing. The next turn the player unleashes all of the damage it took, and does that amount of base damage to the enemy. While this may be similar to reflect, this ability makes it so that instead of sending out damage to the people who did damage to you respectively, you focus this damage onto one person)

    2. Energy Burst (This attack has higher base damage, but you do 1/4 of the damage you dealt to yourself)

    3. Revenge (Similar to smite, but instead where if someone attacks you, this will work)

    Names can be changed, these are just placeholder names that I've come up with so far.

  • Yeah, we can definitely do a team vs team game next. I'm going to update the rules list above and try to fix a few problems that this game has shown me before we get there, though. Let the players of this current game take a short break as well if they want to play in the next one.

    And the jester sounds good. I might change the names, but I like the mechanics. Nice work. :)

  • This new game of Arena helped me think of an idea for a class that is totally not a ripoff of some books and movies.  I only have 2 ideas for moves though, this works better with the Arena games that have movement.  The idea is a ranged attacker with more mobility and somewhat randomized attacks.

    Witch
    Ranged Attack

    Ability 1: Apparition
    This enables the user to use their turn to move anywhere in the Arena.  The user will be immnue to opportunity attacks unless they teleport to a spot in melee range of an enemy.  Has an extended cooldown and the player won't be able to use any potions that turn.

    Ability 2: (I can't think of a good name for this one. :)))
    Requires Offensive Stance.  The user targets an enemy and casts two damaging spells at them.  The attack has a base damage of 1d6 but will also do bonus damage in the form of a status effect that is determined at random.  The status effects can be removed using health potions or healing abilities.
    Burn: Deals 1d4 damage for the next two turns
    Freeze: Freezes the target preventing them from performing any actions on their next turn and they take 1d4 damage and have lower movement on the turn they are thawed out.  Will automatically be thawed out if attacked.
    Electrocute: The target takes 1d4 damage and for their next 2 turns their attacks deal 2 less damage.
    Infect: Deals 1d4 damage for the next two turns and any players in melee range of the target also take 1d4 damage over the next two turns, even if it is the target's last turn of poison damage.

    These names are very much placeholders so feel free to change them.  Hopefully the ideas aren't terrible.
