Gladiator-Started

[Abardam]

So, yeah. I had an idea the other day, and I wanted to see if people wanted to play.


Gladiator

Every round, players may activate one stance and execute one attack. Attacks are executed as so:
Attacker rolls attack against his target's defense.
If the attack roll exceeds the defense roll, the attack hits.
The attacker then rolls damage.
At the end of the round, all damage is tallied, and everyone makes a vitality roll. If damage exceeds a player's vitality, the player loses a life.
If you lose a life, you cannot act for the rest of the round.
Players with 0 lives are dead.All players start with:
1d6 damage
1d6 attack
1d6 defense
1d6 vitality
3 lives

Players also start with 4 points to customize their character. They may purchase passive skills, stances, special attacks, and special maneuvers with these.

(Whenever an attribute is marked with a '+', this means an increase in die size. If it is marked with a '-', this means a decrease in die size.)

Passive skills: These skills are always active.

Strength: Damage+
Dexterity: Attack+
Agility: Defense+
Constitution: Vitality+

Stances: A player may choose to use one stance each round.

Rush: Player's initiative increases by 1, defense-
Stealth: Player PMs actions to me, instead of posting
Rage: Damage++ defense-
Frenzy: Attack++ vitality-
Power Attack: Damage++ attack-
Combat Expertise: Defense++ attack-
Shield Other: Grants defense++ to one ally
Flank: Grants attack+ to all players who also attack your target
Perfect Clarity: Defense++ vs one opponent (your choice), defense- vs all others

Special Attacks: These skills replace your regular attack. Effects after the slash affect the player.

Javelin: Player's initiative increases by 1 / attack-
Net: Target's initiative decreases by 1 / damage-
Sunder: Target loses 1 attack* if it hits / attack-- (does no damage)
Shield Break: Target loses 1 defense* if it hits / attack-- (does no damage)
Impale: Target loses 1 vitality* if it hits / attack--
Weakening Strike: Target loses 1 damage* if it hits / attack--
Stunning Strike: Target cannot act for 1 round if it hits / damage--
Counterattack: Attack first person who attacks you / attack+ damage+
Whirlwind Attack: Attack all who attack you
Two-Weapon Fighting: Attack twice / attack-
Leap Attack: / attack+ damage+ defense--

*permanent

Special maneuvers: You cannot activate a stance or attack in a round where you use any of these.

Repair: Restore target's permanent attack and defense damage by 1
First Aid: Restore target's permanent damage and vitality damage by 1
Taunt: Target must attack you next round, but takes defense- for 1 round

Temporary effects (such as those granted by stances) do not stack. Permanent effects do.

All attacks happen simultaneously (unless initiative-modified), and all actions must be posted here (unless you are using Stealth). Up to 1 change may be taken, in either case.

Dice stacking goes like: 1d2 - 1d4 - 1d6 - 1d8 - 1d10 - 1d12 - 1d14 - 1d16... and so on. Yeah, yeah, they don't really exist.

So, how about it? Does anyone want to play?

1d8 attack (1d6 power attacking)

one point in damage
one point in attack

Hmm but theres another build I kinda want to try... oh well


1d6 damage ++
1d10 attack +
1d6 defence
1d8 vitality

Rage
assuming that your ++ and + are supposed to show what your rage would do, then your incorrect, rage decreases defense, and does not affect attack. Course I could be wrong on what your little +'s mean.

@V but then why do you have d10 attack and d8 vitality, you already spent your points on those... me is confused

[Selrahc]

No... they're the passive increases I bought with the other customizations.

[Lucid_Archon]

1d12 damage

A real brawler this one...:smallbiggrin:

"Oh, and by the way, let me introduce you to the Inactivity Lions, Rick and Donovan! These lions are brutal! They will maul anyone who looks distracted and undefended!"

"Dammit, Paul...oh, er, let the Games begin!"

Right-o. Need your actions (either attack, stance+attack, or special maneuver) by Friday, 2:00 AM GMT. Post them here, unless you are Decken. Up to 1 change may be made.

[Eldritch Knight]

I'll just be using my Counterattack, this time.

[Warpfire]

Warpfire swings his sword above his head, and charges with a roar at Lucid Archon, swinging wildly.

Stance: Power Attack
Normal Attack

Edit: No problem. Sorry about that.

[Abardam]

Uh, Warpfire, the way this works is:

You declare your actions, and then I'll tally it up at the end of the round and do all the rolls then.

Sorry for not clarifying.

[Silkenfist]

I'll use my Combat Expertise stance before applying Whirlwind Defense. Anyone feeling like taking a chance?

[Selrahc]

Rage stance, attack um... Gezina.

Raging Hippo bullrush attack!




@V but then why do you have d10 attack and d8 vitality, you already spent your points on those... me is confused

Nah, you were right, I was confused over what the standard was. Sorry.

To clarify for Abardam, ++ on Damage. + on attack. Rage stance.

Which leaves me on 1d10 damage and 1d8 attack I think before rage stance.

[InaVegt]

Gezina enters the arena, looking around furiously. She looks like she could go completely mad at the first person who tries to attack her.

Raging counterattack

[Castaras]

Combat Expertise And attack Gezina

[inky13112]

A small, but well muscled, gladiator steps into the ring, he holds a short sword in one hand and a net in the other, adopting a stance with his sword to put maximum power into his attack. He slowly gives a cold look around at his enemies, ready to kill or be killed. He sees Gezina ready to counter attack his opponents. He mutters to himself ugh I hate that counterattack cheese as he flings his net at Gezina, hoping to capture the opponent and run them through.

((translation, powerattack stance, using net attack, attacking Gezina))
(((Kitties!)))
((((No hard feelings about the counterattack comment Gezina))))

[Lucid_Archon]

Lucid sees something moving at him, out of the corner of his eye, and turns to face it. He raises his massive hammer, and swings it wildly, with inhuman might.
"Crush!"

Attacking Warpfire, using Rage.

[heretic]

((Can I join late? I'll use just 2 points to allocate as a handicap, if you like.))

[Abardam]

Well, I suppose... still the first round, anyway.

[heretic]

Thanks (I only used 2 points, to compensate for probably not being targeted this round)

1d6 damage
1d8 attack
1d6 defense
1d6 vitality
3 lives
--
A Dextrous and Stealthy gladiator.
[hr]

A well-muscled Thracian enters the arena, circling the other combatants without committing to any. ((PMing attack, Stealth Stance.))

[Zar Peter]

I'm going frenzy on Eldritch Knight

[heretic]

When does the turn end?

[Abardam]

In 3 hours. Which reminds me, I still need 1 more action.

[Abardam]

Nothing

Whew, hope I didn't make any mistakes.

[Abardam]

Round 1 damage:

Zar Peter is parried, and Eldritch Knight unleashes a fiery riposte for 10 damage, which Zar Peter cannot hope to resist with his 1d6 vitality.
Warpfire deals a measly 1 damage to Lucid Archon.
Selrahc and Gezina stab each other, each dealing more damage than the others' vitality, and Castaras adds 4 damage. Inky misses, however.
Lucid Archon's hammer tenderizes Warpfire. Warpfire blocks the mystery attacker, however.

Lucid Archon's total damage: 1 vs [roll0]

[Captain van der Decken]

*slaps forehead*

[Selrahc]

So... why do I count as attacking first? I thought attacks counted as simultaneous, which would mean a roll of some sort to see who attacked first.

[Abardam]

Well, you announced first.

(For clarification: If two or more people attack a person who has Counterattack, the first one to declare gets hit. However, if that person later switches targets, the earliest other one, i.e. the second attacker, gets hit. And so on.)

[Silkenfist]

I'll go into Combat Expertise mode and apply Whirlwind Defense. Any takers?

[InaVegt]

Raging counterattack

[Zar Peter]

Frenzy at Castaras

[Eldritch Knight]

Attack Zar Peter

[Castaras]

Combat Expertise and attack Zar Peter

[Selrahc]

I'll go into Combat Expertise mode and apply Whirlwind Defense. Any takers?

Okay....

Rage stance, attack Silkenfist.

[inky13112]

Well, you announced first.

(For clarification: If two or more people attack a person who has Counterattack, the first one to declare gets hit. However, if that person later switches targets, the earliest other one, i.e. the second attacker, gets hit. And so on.)
I thought we like rolled initiative... because otherwise what the heck does my net do?..

And also its seeming like net doesn't do anything but good for your enemy... well unless I kill them with it and they had counterattack, and so they die before they get their counterattack in.

So yeah, net has balance issues, and IMO so does counter attack, but whatever...

Also, powerattack net attack on silkenfist.

[Abardam]

Before main attack stage:
People who took rush and Javelin (no one)

Main attack stage:
People with no initiative modifiers

After attack stage:
Netted people

Of course, the main attack stage also consists of netted people who have rush or javelin. Vitality is rolled after each stage, so take the example of a Netted gladiator:
A Rushing gladiator attacks him for 2 damage. After that stage, however, he survives.
Three other people attack him on the main stage for 1 damage apiece, meaning he must roll against 5. He fails, losing a life and his action (but not his stance).

Your counterattack example wouldn't work unless said counterattacker was already netted and you weren't, or you were using Rush+Net.

Round 2 ends tomorrow, and I still need 4 more actions.

[Lucid_Archon]

Rage stance, attacking Zar Peter.

[Warpfire]

Warpfire, enraged by the mighty blow Lucid Archon has dealt him, once again charges Lucid, putting as much power as possible into his swing.

Stance: Power Attack
Normal Attack
Target: Lucid Archon

Dice have always seemed to dislike me, but now it seems even the forum roller hates me...

[Abardam]

Round 2:

Zar Peter Frenziedly attacks Castaras ([roll0]vs[roll1]); if he hits, he will deal [roll2] damage.
Eldritch Knight attacks Zar Peter ([roll3]vs[roll4]), dealing [roll5] damage if he hits.
Castaras activates Combat Expertise and attacks Zar Peter ([roll6]vs[roll7]), dealing [roll8] damage if she hits.
Selrahc Rages and attacks Silkenfist ([roll9]vs[roll10]); if he hits, he will deal [roll11] damage.
Inky Power Nets Silkenfist ([roll12]vs[roll13]), and if he hits, he will deal [roll14] damage and Silkenfist will be Netted, attacking at a lowered initiative.
Silkenfist, using Combat Expertise, attempts to strike Selrahc ([roll15]vs[roll16]) and Inky ([roll17]vs[roll18]); if he hits, he will deal [roll19] damage.
Lucid Archon Rages and smashes Zar Peter ([roll20]vs[roll21]) and if he hits, he will strike for [roll22] damage.
Warpfire takes revenge and Power Attacks Lucid Archon ([roll23]vs[roll24]), and if he hits, he will deal [roll25] damage.
Someone attacks Warpfire ([roll26]vs[roll27]), if he hits, he will deal [roll28] damage.
Someone else also attacks Warpfire ([roll29]vs[roll30]), if he hits, he will also deal [roll31] damage.
Gezina waits for someone to attack her, but nobody does.

[Abardam]

Zar Peter's attack is blocked by Castaras, who retaliates, but misses. In fact, everyone who attacked Zar Peter misses. In fact, everyone who attacked this round missed. Except for a mystery attacker, who struck Warpfire from behind.

Warpfire's total damage: 5
Warpfire's vitality: [roll0]

[Abardam]

Round 3

Someone attacks Selrahc ([roll0]vs[roll1]); if he hits, he will deal [roll2] damage.
Someone else also attacks Selrahc ([roll3]vs[roll4]); if he hits, he will also deal [roll5] damage.
Castaras activates Combat Expertise and attacks Zar Peter ([roll6]vs[roll7]) and if she hits, she will deal [roll8] damage.
Selrahc strikes out at Decken ([roll9]vs[roll10]); if he hits, he will deal [roll11] damage.
Zar Peter Frenziedly attacks Lucid Archon ([roll12]vs[roll13]) and if he hits, he will deal [roll14] damage.
Warpfire Power Attacks Lucid Archon ([roll15]vs[roll16]); if he hits, he will deal [roll17] damage.
Lucid Archon, still Raging, goes for Warpfire ([roll18]vs[roll19]); if he hits, he will deal [roll20] damage.
Eldritch Knight attacks the inactive Gezina ([roll21]vs[roll22]); if he hits, he will deal [roll23] damage.
Inky Power Nets Silkenfist ([roll24]vs[roll25]); if he hits, he will deal [roll26] damage, and Silkenfist will be Netted.
Silkenfist Whirlwind Attacks Inky while using his Combat Expertise ([roll27]vs[roll28]); if he hits, he will deal [roll29] damage.
Gezina... just stands around, and gets mauled by lions (and Eldritch Knight).

[Abardam]

So the Stealthers team up on Selrahc, dealing in total 7 damage, which is more than his Vitality. Selrahc attempts to strike back, but he is blocked.
Castaras hits Zar Peter, who hits Lucid Archon, who hits Warpfire, who in turn hits Lucid Archon (again).
Inky successfully Nets Silkenfist, who will be attacking last from now on.
Silkenfist retaliates and hits Inky.

Damage Results
Selrahc: 7 vs [roll0]
Zar Peter: 3 vs [roll1]

[heretic]

Finally! Some blood.

[Warpfire]

Oh well...at least I finally managed to do something effectual before I died.

[inky13112]

Power (non net) attack on silkenfist, might as well take advantage of your slowness...

The dark warrior, finally strikes true with his net, slowing down his silken opponent.he drags him over Powerfully stabbing down at him with his Gladius. Say your prayers fool! he bellows, attempting to strike at the silken warrior and disable him before he can strike back in his whirlwind of blades.

Oh god I just saw that picture... That is sheer unadulterated awesome.

[Silkenfist]

Combat Expertise and Whirlwind Defense once again.

The Silken warrior upon being entangled crouches down and clutches the blade against his body to both prevent him from being struck and the weapon from being caught in the net. Briefly forgetting about his training to be graceful and stoic in combat, he mutters curses concerning inky's parentage and unfavorable comparisons between him and small rodents. He pauses for one moment as he realizes how accurate these analogies seem. The sight of inky's blade being struck down on him forces him to abandon that thought, though. He shifts his body under the net to deflect the strike with his blade while grappling the meshes with his feet to pull the net away and start counterattacking.

[Selrahc]

The wounded hippo roars. Seeking an easy target.

Seeing a freshly netted foe, he turns, roaring. The ground rumbles as he charges, head first at the silken one.

Rage Attack Silkenfist. Sign own death warrant.

[Zar Peter]

[Abardam]

[Lucid_Archon]

[Abardam]

Round 4

Main Attack Phase
Castaras attacks Zar Peter ([roll0] vs [roll1]) and she will deal [roll2] damage if she hits.
Zar Peter Frenzies against Castaras (shocking, I know) ([roll3] vs [roll4]) and he will deal [roll5] damage if he hits.
Lots o' people attack Selrahc, namely: Eldritch Knight ([roll6] vs [roll7]) who will deal [roll8] damage; Lucid Archon ([roll9] vs [roll10]) who will deal [roll11] damage; and the two stealthy guys ([roll12] vs [roll13]):[roll14] damage and ([roll15] vs [roll16]):[roll17] damage.
Selrahc attacks Eldritch Knight ([roll18] vs [roll19]) dealing [roll20] damage if he hits.
I'm assuming Inky Power Attacks Silkenfist, from his description ([roll21] vs [roll]1d10[roll]) for [roll22] damage if he hits.

Slow People Phase
If he is not stunned, Silkenfist attacks Inky ([roll23] vs [roll24]) for [roll25] damage.

[Abardam]

Gah.

Silkenfist's defense: 5 vs [roll0]

[Abardam]

Selrahc takes 15 damage, and dies. Inky fails to strike Silkenfist, and leaves himself open to attack. Zar Peter and Castaras fail to hit each other again.

Damage values
Selrahc: 15 vs 1d6 (duh)
Inky: 2 vs [roll0]

Silkenfist Phase
If he is not interrupted, Silkenfist (using Combat Expertise) Whirlwind Attacks Inky ([roll8] vs [roll9]) striking for [roll10] damage.

[Abardam]

GAH

Heretic's defense: [roll0] vs 5

Inky Power Attacks Silkenfist ([roll1] vs [roll2]) for [roll3] damage.

Also, Heretic and Decken are mauled by the stealth lions.

Next round... well, I'm kind of going somewhere over the weekend, with a slim chance of internet access, so next round is on Monday, 2:00 AM GMT.

[Captain van der Decken]

Damnit! Again!

[Castaras]

Right...

Combat Expertise and attack Zar Peter.

C'mon...

[Silkenfist]

Usual stuff: Combat Expertise and Whirwind Attack

[Eldritch Knight]

I'll attack Castaras

[Castaras]

I'll attack Castaras

That's nice of you isn't it? :smallamused:

[Selrahc]

That's nice of you isn't it? :smallamused:

He does that *nods sagely* :smallamused:

[Eldritch Knight]

Hey, can you blame me? After all, If I didn't start it, who would?

[Lucid_Archon]

Rage attacking Zar Peter for picking on Castaras.

[Abardam]

Just popping in to say that I still need two more actions, and the round closes in 10 hours.

[Zar Peter]

Ooops.

Frenzy at Castaras!

[inky13112]

Sorry thought I had already. I power attack silkenfist.

The Dark gladiator slowly circles his battered opponent. The Silken warrior continues his whirling calculated defensive spin. It was a fine tactic, but it had not managed to keep him alive against the onslaught of the others. You have fought well, but i'm afraid it is time for you to die. And with that he charges forward swinging his sword down in a powerful arc of deadly steel, slashing aside the defenses laid out by his opponents sword as the net slows down the Silken warrior just enough that his opponent can get in a slash before a retaliation.

[Abardam]

Round 7

Main Phase
Someone attacks Lucid Archon ( vs [roll1]), and he will deal [roll2] damage if he hits.
Lucid Archon Rages at Eldritch Knight ([roll3] vs [roll4]) for [roll5] damage if he hits.
Eldritch Knight, in turn, attacks Castaras ([roll6] vs [roll7]); if he hits, he strikes for [roll8].
Castaras activates her Combat Expertise and attacks Zar Peter ([roll9] vs [roll10]) and if she hits, she will deal [roll11] damage.
Zar Peter retaliates, and Frenzies ([roll12] vs [roll13]) and he will hit for [roll14].
Someone attacks Zar Peter ([roll15] vs [roll16]) who will hit for [roll17].
Inky Power Attacks Silkenfist, hoping to deal the finishing blow ([roll18] vs [roll19]) and if he overcomes his (quite strong, actually) defenses, he will deal [roll20] damage.

Slowed Phase
If he is not disrupted, Silkenfist attacks Inky [roll21] vs [roll1d6 and he will deal [roll22] if he hits.

[Abardam]

This is the part where I would roll errors, but Silkenfist can't resist Inky's damage with his 1d6 vitality.

[Abardam]

Castaras' damage: 2 vs [roll0]

[Abardam]

Wait, what the heck? I'm a day early! Gah, sorry, guys. I can take back the results if at least one person wants to, but I'm not rerolling anything unless any actions are changed.

[Zar Peter]

I say : Go on!

[Eldritch Knight]

Seems fine as is at this point.

[Castaras]

Someone, you are seriously going to get it.

And I say carry on! It doesn't matter! Do it!

[Abardam]

Now that I look at it, nothing happened. So. Uh. Next round on Thursday, if nobody was going to pull out a brilliant attack-switch-at-the-last-moment kind of thing.

[Zar Peter]

I hit EK with 2 damage if I saw it right?

[Eldritch Knight]

You did, but my Vitality was a 5, so it didn't do much.

I'll Attack Inky this round

[inky13112]

:smallmad: I power attack the nefarious EK, attacking me with no good reason, he shall die for this.

[Eldritch Knight]

:smallmad: I power attack the nefarious EK, attacking me with no good reason, he shall die for this.

No good reason? Says the person who power attacked me without provokation.. You started this fight. I will end it.

[inky13112]

Oh sure trying to kill you is starting a fight. Thats like saying invading a country is a declaration of war. You could always just surrender you know.

[Zar Peter]

You did, but my Vitality was a 5, so it didn't do much.

I'll Attack Inky this round

Didn't read this!

OK, frenzy at Inky

[inky13112]

Wait what?

Fine I net Zar Peter instead of power attacking EK, as he's randomly attacking me for no reason.:smallannoyed:

[Abardam]

Update will be late today.

[Abardam]

Round 12

Owing to the irregular scheduling of the round, the Inactivity Lions will not strike this round.

Main Phase
Inky Nets Zar Peter ([roll0]vs[roll1]) and if he hits, he strikes for [roll2] damage and Zar Peter will be Netted.
Zar Peter Frenzies and attacks Inky ([roll3]vs[roll4]) for [roll5] damage.
Someone attacks Castaras, who is totally not using Combat Expertise ([roll6]vs[roll7]) for [roll8] damage.
Slow Person Phase
Eldritch Knight attacks Inky ([roll9]vs[roll10]) for [roll11] damage.

[Abardam]

Vitality Rolls:
Zar Peter: 6 vs [roll0] (WILL HE SURVIVE?!)
Inky: 6 vs [roll1] (SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME)
Castaras: 3 vs [roll2] (okay not so much here)

[Abardam]

In contrast to the previous rounds, something actually happened this round! Zar Peter dies (to Inky's net), Inky is attacked from behind by Eldritch Knight, and someone manages to bypass the normally alert Castaras' defenses.

Combat Expertise and attack Heretic!

[Eldritch Knight]

I'll finish off Inky. Attack!

[inky13112]

Power attack back. We shall see, knight. The Inky warrior says as he steps away from his second kill, holding his sword at the ready, slowly circling his opponent. But I notice that net seems to be slowing you down, he says as he sees what he thinks is a weakness in The Eldritch Knights defense, and charges forwards, striking hard and fast in an attempt to slash him down before he has a chance to react.

[Abardam]

Round 13
Main Phase
Inky attempts to stop Eldritch Knight in his tracks with a Power Attack ([roll0]vs[roll1]) for [roll2].
Someone attacks Castaras ([roll3]vs[roll4]) for [roll5].
Castaras attempts to block, and counters ([roll6]vs[roll7]) for [roll8].
Netted Phase
If he survives with his [roll9] vitality, Eldritch Knight attacks Inky ([roll10]vs[roll11]) for [roll]1d10[roll].

[Abardam]

Inky steamrollers through Eldritch Knight, stunning him! However, Eldritch Knight still has more health, and therefore, a chance to survive. If Inky slips up once, it could be the end of him.

[Castaras]

Heretic...why pick on me? :smallfrown:

Combat Expertise and attack Heretic.

[inky13112]

Not so confident now, are we knight? The inky warrior says as he whirls away from The Eldritch Knight, fresh blood spatter adding to the old ones of Zar Peter and Silkenfist. He regains his composure, falling back into his comfortable attack position, designed to maximize damage should he hit. You see, The Silken Warrior was likewise confident, but I am more deadly than many seem to think, he says, as he flies at The Knight bringing his sword down with practiced strength, attempting to slash him away and whirl past before the burdened Knight has a chance to retaliate.

(Power Attack EK)

Next round on Friday, 2:00 AM GMT.

[inky13112]

The Inky Warrior charged forward, swinging his sword down upon the Knight, but just as he was about to strike the Knights sword swung up to counter the Inky one. Blow after blow was traded, the knight parrying The Inky warriors blows easily, and Inky just barely keeping away the powerful slashes of the Eldritch Knight. Before his foe could find a break in his defenses, he spun away, leaving both unscathed. Not bad. He said as he regained his composure and prepared to attack yet again. But are you ready to do it again? He asked, as he waited for a lapse in the Knights defenses.

(Power attack Eldritch Knight)

Seeing the Knight get ready to strike attack at him the moment he attacks, the Inky warrior considers a new target. He realizes the battlefield has been mostly cleared though, and remembers his wounds from the lions. He'll just have to depend on getting the first hit in if he plans to win this battle.

[Eldritch Knight]

Counterattack

[Castaras]

Someone help me kill heretic please? He's trying to kill me...:smallfrown:

*Decides not to do the damsel in distress act*

Combat Expertise Heretic.

[inky13112]

The Inky warrior turns as he hears a request for help. Realizing the Knight is hanging back, waiting for a charge, the Inky warrior decides an ally could be useful. Very well then Drow. He says as he turns away from the Knight and charges forward at Heretic, sword powerfully slashing down at him.

(Changing to power attacking Heretic)

[Abardam]

Round 15
Main Phase
Someone turns to attack Castaras ([roll0]vs[roll1]), [roll2]...
But finds that both his target ([roll3]vs[roll4]), [roll5] and Inky ([roll6]vs[roll7]), [roll8] are waiting for him!
Slowed Phase
Eldritch Knight uses his Counterattack to drive off the Inactivity Lions.

[Abardam]

Bah. Inky and Castaras tag-team Heretic, but nobody hits, again.

Counterattack

[inky13112]

Power net attack Heretic, to avoid the sla****y death that awaits me if I run into EK's counter attack.

[Abardam]

Round 16
Main Phase
Inky is attacked! ([roll0]vs[roll1]) If he is hit, he takes [roll2] damage.
But he is waiting, and he manages to get off an attack ([roll3]vs[roll4]), for [roll5].
Castaras, too, joins in ([roll6]vs[roll7]), striking for [roll8].
Post-Main Phase Phase
Eldritch Knight stands around.

[Abardam]

Vitality rolls
Inky: 5 vs [roll0]
Heretic: 6 vs [roll1]

Remember, folks, both of these guys are at 1 life!

[Abardam]

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f350/abardam/16-hereticassassinatesinky.png

Defying the odds, Heretic survives the dual onslaught and manages to take down Inky, who is-or was-the biggest damage dealer (after Lucid Archon), as well as having the net. What will happen next? Will the battle be reduced to Heretic and Castaras trying to hit each other, again? Will someone attack Eldritch Knight? Stay tuned!

[Abardam]

Well, I wish I had a good excuse for why the update is late, other than 'I forgot.' Anyway...

Round 16
Main Phase
Someone attacks Castaras (sigh, [roll0]vs[roll1]) for [roll2].
Castaras in turn uses CE and attacks EK ([roll3]vs[roll4]) for [roll5].
Mauled Phase
EK is mauled by lions for just standing there. -1 life.

[Abardam]

Damage roll:
Eldritch Knight: 4 vs [roll0]

[Abardam]

So apparently Eldritch Knight loses the will to keep fighting, and takes double damage from Castaras and the lions. And is killed. Also Heretic is mega-blocked.

[Castaras]

So it begins...Heretic, let us battle it out!

Taking a gamble...I'm just going to attack him.

[Abardam]

Round 17

In an unprecedented event, Castaras throws caution to the winds and attacks Heretic without using her favored stance ([roll0]vs[roll1]), striking for [roll2] if she hits.
And Heretic isn't going down without a fight ([roll3]vs[roll4]), for [roll5] if he hits.

Hmm...I'll take the gamble again and just attack Heretic. Fingers crossed...

[inky13112]

To s[peed things along we could make like 3 attacks per round now... If the contestants agreed to it.

[heretic]

Or he could update the thread as soon as he receives both actions. He has both of ours now, so there's nothing to stop him.

[Castaras]

Except whether he is online or not, of course.

[heretic]

True. I meant as soon as he logged in.

[Castaras]

Yeah.

May the best fighter win, Heretic. :smallamused:

[heretic]

I certainly hope not, since you're the best fighter...

Remember, I used half the normal number of points when building my stats. :smalleek:

[Castaras]

Ah yes, because you came in late, didn't you?

Well, maybe late will beat full pointed...you never know...

[heretic]

True, the dice could favor me this battle...

Unlike my last game of 40K...grrrrr...

If there's any balance to this universe at all, karma will grant me the luck of the gods.

[Castaras]

Well, currently I'm in a better situation...but that's probably because the dice love me, and kept me at high defence...But you have a better chance of hitting me than I hitting you...

[heretic]

I thought we were equal in attack to defense ratios. And then you have more vitality.

[Castaras]

You have more attack than me, but if I don't use combat Expertise we're sorta equal...I think...

*Goes to check stats.*
Heretic
1d6 damage
1d8 attack
1d6 defense
1d6 vitality
A Dextrous and Stealthy gladiator.

Castaras
1d6 damage
1d6 attack
1d8 defense (1 point)
1d10 vitality (2 points)

Combat Expertise (1 point)

Going to be an interesting battle...

[Abardam]

Or he could update the thread as soon as he receives both actions. He has both of ours now, so there's nothing to stop him.

Good idea. Implemented starting now.

Round 18

Castaras attacks Heretic! If she hits, ([roll0]vs[roll1]), she will deal [roll2] damage!
Heretic strikes back! If he hits ([roll3]vs[roll4]), he will deal [roll5] damage!

((Hopefully we'll see some action...))

[Abardam]

Bah. Your defenses are too good.

Next round on: Tuesday, 2:00 AM GMT, or when I have both of your actions, whichever is sooner.

[Castaras]

Right.

ATTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Heretic.

[Vampiric]

{{Sorry for interrupting, but can I join? Or should I wait until you guys have finished each other off? If that's the case, will there be a restart?}}

[Castaras]

(( Restart probably, after me or Heretic kills the other. Currently, it's just us two though. ))

[Eldritch Knight]

Actually, I was attending a wedding where I was a groomsman, and was without internet access until now. Oh well.

[Abardam]

Well, I was talking about the fact that you got double ones.

Anyway, since Heretic sent his in... ((you know, Heretic, you can just post in the thread...))

Round 19

Castaras has a go at Heretic ([roll0]vs[roll1]), who attacks Castaras ([roll2]vs[roll3]). Damage: [roll4], and [roll5], respectively.

[Castaras]

OMG.

Come ONNN! Can't we hit already?!

Sneaky sneaky me. I attack Castaras.

That's white text in case somebody is really oblivious.

[Castaras]

Wow! I really didn't expect that! *Gasp*

[inky13112]

Hmm pretty much the only real decision is whether Cassie expertises or not. And since shes not using combat expertise (to make it more fair? maybe?) you could just mass roll until someone dies. Just some thoughts. Course that would deny the poor lions (dang kitties :smallmad: ) any hope of getting food, but still...

:/ (they really need an OOTS style smiley like that)

[heretic]

I agree. I would have a template to attack and Cassie could have a template to attack until she loses and life, then Expertise, or whatever she wants.

[Abardam]

Yeah, I should've allotted more points. And put a limit on the number of times you can get a skill, because you'll probably just pump your favorite attribute, or something like that.

Round 20
Castaras attacks Heretic ([roll0]), dealing [roll1] damage if she hits!
Heretic attacks back ([roll2]vs[roll3]), for [roll4], if he hits!

Please, dice roller. Please.

[Abardam]

Error: Heretic's defense:
5 vs [roll0]

[Abardam]

Okay, I feel that I should do something to 'spice things up', as it were. Uh, okay, the crowd chants, "Kill! Kill!", giving you both Attack+ and Damage+ for the rest of the battle.

Wooo!

Okay....Template time...

I will always Attack Heretic, until I go down to One life, and then I'll attack him with Expertise on.

Just roll the dice again and again and again, Abardam.

[Abardam]

Lo! Template time! Until it's over! Probably every day! (I'm assuming Heretic always wants to attack Castaras. Because, you know.)

Round 21

Heretic attacks Castaras ([roll0]vs[roll1]), for an improved [roll2] damage!
Castaras, also empowered by the crowd's blood-thirsty cries, attacks Heretic ([roll3]vs[roll4]) for [roll5] damage!

[Abardam]

Damage roll:
Castaras: 6 vs [roll0]

[Abardam]

Castaras manages to grit and hang in there! No life lost, which means another Attack and Damage +!

[heretic]

I tried to post a template yesterday, but my computer tweaked out and I had to go.

But yes, I attack every round.

[Abardam]

Round 22
(Attack++, Damage++)

Castaras attacks Heretic! ([roll0]vs[roll1]), for [roll2] damage!
Heretic counters ([roll3]vs[roll4]) for [roll5] damage!

[Abardam]

Ye gods, what is with this roller?!

Attack+++, Damage+++ now.

Update tomorrow.

[Vhaidara]

The bonuses are canceling eachother out! make it Attack and Damage!

[Abardam]

It is Attack and Damage.

Round 22

Heretic attacks ([roll0]vs[roll1]) for [roll2] damage!
Castaras counterattacks (no, not the skill, [roll3]vs[roll4]) for [roll5] damage!

[Abardam]

Finally, some action. Castaras loses a life, as her vitality is only 1d10.

[Overlord Jack Chainer]

exilerating indeed one of the many threads I have had the enjoyment of watching but I will say it will end this next time.

Sorry just felt like I should add something.

[Abardam]

Yeah, hopefully. Or I'll have to get Castaras and Heretic to agree to some kind of draw.

[Overlord Jack Chainer]

If you wouldnt mind if you decide to do another one if I could join up and play? send me a message or something and ill get to it later. have a good day mate happy killings you two play nice.

[Abardam]

Oh yeah, I'll probably do another. Still open to everyone.

[Castaras]

Hmm...and so I will now put on Combat Expertise and attack Heretic.

Just to confirm.

[heretic]

I would mind you just rolling for as many rounds as it takes to win, all at once. Just to cut out the suspense/waiting factor.

[Abardam]

Yeah, okay.

Round 23

Castaras uses Combat Expertise, and attacks Heretic(vs[roll1]) for [roll]1d12) damage!
Heretic attacks ([roll2]vs[roll3]) for [roll4] damage!

[Abardam]

Right, so Castaras blocks Heretic out of the water. Next round: in an hour! (I kinda have something to do.)

[Abardam]

Round 24

Castaras, using Combat Expertise, attacks Heretic ([roll0]vs[roll1]) for [roll2] damage!
Heretic attacks Castaras ([roll3]vs[roll4]), and if he hits, he will deal [roll5] damage!

[Abardam]

Round 25

(This is going to be to the death, here.)

Heretic attacks Castaras ([roll0]vs[roll1]), for [roll2] damage, if he hits!
Castaras attempts to block and reacts with ([roll3]vs[roll4]), striking for [roll5] damage!

[Abardam]

Damage rolls

Heretic loses his last life, but not before dealing a potentially mortal blow to his foe!

Castaras: 8 vs [roll0]

[Abardam]

End

"And the winner is... nobody! ...Wait, what?"

Castaras and Heretic kill each other in the last round! (I suppose this means I'll have to make two trophies...)

[Castaras]

Woooo! We won!

Congratulations Heretic. Good match. :smallbiggrin:

[Abardam]

To be clear:
-'hits': Overcomes defense
-'deals damage': Overcomes vitality

Some points:

Nobody used Flank or Shield Other.
Nobody used stat-damaging skills.
Counterattack is complicated.
Nobody used Initiative-enhancing skills.
Everyone puts too much into passive skills.


Skill changes:
Flank: Target other player who is attacking the same player as you gains Attack++
Shield Other: Target other player gains Defense++
Sunder: Target loses 1 attack* if it hits / attack- (no damage)
Shield Break: Target loses 1 defense* if it hits / attack- (no damage)
Impale: Target loses 1 vitality* if it damages / attack-
Weakening Strike: Target loses 1 damage* if it damages / attack-
*do not stack with each other
Counterattack: If your target is attacking you, this attack is at Attack+ Damage+.
Stealth is now passive.

Also, there is a limit of you may purchase any skill only once.

Conditions:
Stunned: A player who is stunned may only use a stance for one round. For example:
There are three gladiators: Speed, Smasher, and Swordsman.
Round 1:
Pre-phase:
Speed goes first, as he is Rushing.
Main Phase:
Smasher stuns Swordsman.
Swordsman still gets to go, as the stunning happens after the phase.
Round 2:
Pre-phase:
Speed goes first again.
Main Phase:
Smasher stuns Speed.
Swordsman is stunned.
Round 3:
Pre-phase:
Speed is stunned.
Main Phase:
Swordsman is not stunned anymore.

Blinded: A player who is Blinded takes Attack- and Defense-. Whenever that player attacks there is a 50% chance he attacks someone else.

So, comments? Yay, or nay?

[Captain van der Decken]

Looks good. Will you start a new thread for the next game, or what?

[Castaras]

Ooo...Psionics...

Start a new thread. Start a new game. And when you do, I will sign up again. Because this is so much fun! :smallbiggrin:

[heretic]

Me too. Great match, Castaras. :smallbiggrin:

[Abardam]

Yeah, I will. But first I'd like your input on

Team Battles
Before the game starts, players are grouped into teams of 4, 3, 2, or 1. A team wins if the last players remaining are among its members. (Basically, if it's the last team standing.)
Team Configuration:
4 players: 3 life each, 4 skills each
3 players: 4 life each, 5 skills each
2 players: 6 life each, 6 skills each
1 player: 8 life, 8 skills

[heretic]

If we do it, Cassie's on my team. :smallsmile:

[Eldritch Knight]

Thank you for the game. I too will be in the next game.

[Castaras]

Those team battles look good. I'll be up for those. :smallamused:


If we do it, Cassie's on my team. :smallsmile:

A 2 person team?

[Selrahc]

I too would be playing.

And team games look kick ass.

[Captain van der Decken]

Ooo, that looks awesome. I'd enjoy being the lone player, actually. Despite the big risk.

[Zar Peter]

I will play, too! And I would be happy if I can join a team.

[heretic]

A 2 person team?

That's what I was thinking. :smallwink:

[Castaras]

That's what I was thinking. :smallwink:

Well if the teams do go into action, then I'll be up for that. :smallamused:
