Character Name: Yvonne the Merciless
Class: Warrior
Ability 1: Counterattack
Ability 2: Power Attack
Team: water balloons pls <3 actually, I'll make a new team, since there are two unaffiliated people.

So, a name.
Team of the Everlasting Sun. Color is Gold. I'll accept both Aethelia and Wintermoot if they wanna join, and anyone else if they ask.

lily i was going to accept you into TWBF and now this
your betrayal is unimaginable

Nooo! Now the game will actually work as a competition!

I'm usually more into lunar symbology and mythology, so something about this team name feels off, but doesn't matter much, I join Lily Polisesul's Team of the Everlasting Sun.

Since this hasn't started yet, I'll assume I can still sign up.

Character Name: Mathyland
Class: Mystic
Ability 1: N/A
Ability 2: N/A
Team: (leave blank if waiting to be accepted onto a team or not joining an existing team) I'd like to join TWBF

I will also join Team of the Everlasting Sun.

Though I try to avoid the sun, really, so this should be interesting. xD

Oh god, we have a team of Mystics and support classes

not that that's necessarily a bad thing

Oh, Mathyland... Now we're at 5v3. -_-

Anyone from TWBF willing to join TotES to make it an even 4v4?

On one hand, sharing the Mystics. One the other, TWBF. If nobody else joins the game/volunteers, I'll swap, but can we delay as long as possible?

Sharing the Mystics? I'd rather see a Team Random of 4 Mystics, just to see how well that works.

if we were all on the same team though...

also, gerrick, now that i look harder at the classes;
did you intentionally not use multiple dice (e.g. 2d12 instead of 1d25)
are Mystic skills replaced (e.g. I get Dispel, I use it, I have a chance to get Dispel again; alternatively, I get Dispel, I use it, I do not get it again at the first draw, but the next time I use a skill Dispel is back in the list of possibilities) or can you just deplete the list
do blocks last across rounds; e.g I am fighting a Rhinotaur and behind it in initiative; Round 1, it attacks, I block; Round 2, it attacks, I attack - will my block from Round 1 last into its attack in Round 2, since I haven't been able to go yet to change my action since then?

I'm not sure if the game works with only one team.

13. At the end of the battle, the winning team will receive their prizes, 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.

Say, reading over the rules again, I have some questions. They may have been answered already. When does the battle end? When there is only one team left, or when all monsters are eliminated? If the former, does that mean the monsters respawn? If the latter, how is  "winning" defined?

1. Yeah, it's just simpler when using RNGs. Though if someone has an argument why using multiple dice would be better, I'm willing to listen.
2. Each time you use a mystic skill, you have an equal chance of getting any ability on the class list. They don't get removed, and you still have a chance of getting the same one you just used.
3. Blocks do last across rounds. They last for one whole turn. A round is shared by everyone while turns are individual (from the time you act in one round until the time you act in the next round). So in your situation, you would not block the first attack but you would block the second. Another example: if you have the highest initiative in the first round and you block, and then you have the lowest initiative in the next round, the block occurs for your one turn but it effectively occurs for two whole rounds; conversely, if you have the lowest initiative on one round and block, then have the highest initiative on the next round, you've blocked for your whole turn but effectively didn't block anything. Make sense?

The battle ends when only one team remains. There are an infinite amount of monsters, which spawn in waves. A new wave spawns when all the monsters of the previous wave are defeated. So, yeah, I don't really know how a winner would be chosen if there were only one team.

NO STAY WITH US

The rules say that the game ends when there is one team remaining. Hence why I wanted there to be only one team, just to see what would happen.

And the rules also say that the monsters come in waves (and at the beginning of each wave we have a chance of getting potions).
