Quote from: DarkxarthBoris does not appear to have Quick Draw, however. But I don't think you need Quick Draw to draw throwing weapons.

You do, because drawing a weapon (thrown or otherwise) is a move action (once or twice a round). Quickdraw downgrades it to a free action, and there is almost no limit on the number of free actions you can take in a round.

QuoteDrawing ammunition for use with a ranged weapon (such as arrows, bolts, sling bullets, or shuriken) is a free action.

I thought when it indicated shuriken, it meant all ranged throwing weapons.

Great! So that means I have, oh right, nothing. x.

Me too, but I've only been in one match.

I've updated the enviromental effects of the Lava Pool and Frozen Field maps.

Added Wind information to Platform in the sky maps.

Darkxath, if you are still up for a match. Tharamir is ready.

Wanna try out one of the new maps? :)

Before we enter, though I think we should agree on pre-combat. 2, 1, or 0 spells max before entering the arena? How many pre-combat rounds when inside the combat area?

-snip money is good. Winners are cool, losers become slaves :P -

GP earned in this manner can only be spent on the victorious character, though it can be saved up for later purchases.[/ic]

Is there a 1/5 cap still on how money earned in this manner can be spent?

Yeah, a new map would be okay by me. And how about a maximum of 2 spells before we enter the Arena. And maybe an additional 2 rounds inside before combat commences? Silence and Wall of Ice type spells would be okay to cast during those two Arena rounds. And of course, we're going to need to roll initiative and do our pre-combat rounds one at a time. This sounds like it'll be a fun match.

Sounds fine to me.

Is there one of these that you absolutely do not want to battle on (I did not include Amazing!)? The information about them is in the map thread. If you are ok, with the list roll a d10 to find out which map we battle on (If you take one out 1d9).

01 Normal Arena
02 Lava Pool
03 Frozen Field
04 Frozen Field (-20f variation)
05 Forest Floor
06 Platform in the sky
07 Platform in the sky2
08 Platform in the sky (wind variation)
09 Platform in the sky2 (wind variation)
10 Plain Map

They're all okay with me.

Lava Pool it is.

I think that this could be a workable set of rules, although i liked the random number of rounds in our fight. It stops you from being able to plan stuff quite so much. Maybe 2 rounds prebattle, and then d3 rounds when inside.

What do y'all think?

Darkxarth · November 02, 2006, 01:32:33 PM

How about 1d4-1 rounds, that way there's always the chance that you just have to start fighting as soon as you get inside. I like it though.

Poseptune · November 02, 2006, 01:59:46 PM

Joy it had to be the Lava Pool, me and my shirt of metal. :( Ok I will start it up.

Oh, and I would like to congratulate you now for your win Darkxarth. :(

Darkxarth · November 02, 2006, 02:01:18 PM

Yeah, right. My record is 0-3. And I have no idea what your character can do (don't have whatever the Warlock is in) how about I congratulate you on your win instead?

Endless_Helix · November 02, 2006, 02:24:50 PM

Complete Arcane, incidently. Hey is anyone up for level 12 fight against Leran, the Sand Shaper?

This is sad, we are fighting over who will lose (me). The Warlock is in Complete Arcane.

I'm working on a level 12 character, but she's probably going to take a little while, especially since I'm currently fighting. But I bet The Poster Formerly Known as Supadupaman has a level 12 he'd fight with.
