You are a gladiator. Trained in the ways of a fighter, you spend your days waiting for a turn in the arena. Now, your turn has come.

I have an idea. Arenas. They vary from a flat, sandy arena, to a maze, to a forest. Also Items. Like a sandbag to quickly blind a foe, or steel-toed sandals to climb over rocks faster(and for kicks to be more painful).

Defensive Stance: Rakar enters a defensive postion, increasing odds of preventing damage at cost of offense. Lasts 3 turns or until he leaves the stance.
Offensive Stance: Rakar enters an offensive state, increasing chance to deal damage at cost of defense. Lasts 3 truns or until he leaves the stance.
Ideas: I like the other items, and terrain. I can pull out my Dungeons and Dragons books to help if you want( i have lists of terrain, and other possible features to include). Also, based on the level system(what ever it may be) allow the gladiators to change abilities based upon experiences.
Yes please I want as much help as possible.
If you could delete your characters and add them in the other topic, The Arena Characters (http://www.redwallwarlords.com/forums/index.php?topic=14518.msg298334#msg298334)
Thank you.
All right, to reiterate
-To win a battle, you must kill your opponent.
-You gain a level up every time you win a battle.
-You gain an XP point every time you finish a battle (dead or alive).
-Every time you level up, you get 10 points to disperse among your 8 fields (HP, MP, Strength, Intellect, Speed, Armor, Resistance, Willpower).

what if you rank p ur weapons as you leverl up
Not sure what you mean...I think the weapon stays the same, the strength (attack) goes up.
EDIT: 888 post best post
Also each HP point is worth 10 HP, so if you have 10 HP points, you have 100 HP
oh ah get et now
I need ideas on how to run the battles.
I'm going to make a test battle. Would you like to fight Cam and Tagg?
OK, so I don't think you should be able to attack till 3 turns have gone by.
Attack system:
~Hits determined by the roll system like risk:Risk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_%28game%29#Dice_probabilities).
~Modifiers of the number of dice used will be based on skills and type: melee, ranged, magic
~~Melee
Bouns modifier dependant on Strength, more strength more dice;
~~Ranged
Bouns modifier dependant on Speed, more speed more dice; range dependant on weapon
~~Magic
Bonus modifier dependant on Will power, more willpower more dice; range dependant on spell; uses MP
Defense:
~All non magical attacks, have defense based on Armor and speed; magic is based on Resistance and Speed
Terrain:
Marsh/swamp: movement takes twice as long
Tell me how this summation/ideas are for the attack system. When I have played D&D we use 20-sided dice, i can tell you more if you want.
hmm, maybe instead of lava...
yeah I'm not sure I understand though.
my thoughts are probably based on d20. a 20 sided die is rolled for most actions, and a modifier is added to that. Based on the roll + the modifier, a result is detrmined.
In this system melee attack bonus is determined by your strength modifier + atack modifier, range bonuse is determined by dexterity(Speed in this case) modifier + attack bonus, and the same for magic.
This would be compared to the opponents defense, which is based off of armor(or resistance) + dexterity(speed)
That is where I am coming from.
Lava could be interesting, 1-2 damage per turn?
Hmm. I don't have a 20sided die.
I was thinking this:
The attacking player attacks with up to three attack points x speed, and I roll up to three dice. The defender must choose to resist the attack with up to 2 armor points x speed and I roll up to two die. Each player's highest die are compared, as are their second-highest die. In each comparison, the highest number wins. The defender wins in the event of a tie. With each dice comparison, the loser removes one point from his field (attack or armor).
yay i read it, that is why this is development. I still might look for d20 online
oh I hadn't thought of that. good idea.
Like this one http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm)?
IDEA!!
Arenas:
Lake: +1 Willpower, -1 speed. Also, 10 steps away at the beginning.
Danger Zone(Traps and weapons in a dungeon): +1 attack, -1 health.
Keep it plus 1 minus 1.
Good idea. So:
sand
grass
forest
lava
swamp
lake
dungeon
Almost forgot. Can you edit my main character on the practice fight, I added a shield as an item, since it's also my weapon.
Oil: slows down enemy and can cause burn damage(if you have a fire-based weapon)
Whistle: Birds come to aid you in a scuffle. 25% Of them attacking the enemy, 50% them moving you back 3 steps, 25% they give you a lesser HP potion.
Flint and Tinder: Usable to start a fire. 50% chance of it doing damage to the enemy, 100% chance if in the forest, 0% if near water or sand.
Those aern't avalibe items right now, wait till we are done with the battles.
Holy [ferret poop] this is complicated.
I like the ideas, but I'm content to sit back and watch.
Btw, how will you prove people's honesty in rolling dice? There's no way to really check...
That is where accepted discresion of ref. (Dungeon Master) is final. They can't try to help or they can be mean [insert adjective]s. I have played both sides.
Good job finding WotC, they are the leaders in RPGs like what we are trying.
Ulibis this is why WotC has so many books, to explain how stuff can be runhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_rulebooks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_rulebooks)
See that's a problem
Which is why me, Emperor Ragefur has to do it
if you do not want to i can.
I don't mind. I need to figure out how though.
Skill points allocated(if we are going to try it my way) will provide a bonus to the respective roles, based on my previous post on on the subject. Who ever is incharge of determining the results(someone whose character is not fighting preferably), will give the result of the roll (who loses and what spectators see).
~~~~~
Example:
person a attacks perosn b. a has 2 strength and 1 speed; b has 3 speed and 1 armor. The person designated to take care of the rolling, using the die roller you found, for each a and b. b's total in this case is better than a's total, so he states as an example
With the speed of a master b, manages to dodge the attack and nick person a.
[a loses one attack point]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the points, are you able to recover them during the battle?
Sounds really good. I guess I'll do the dice rolling.
I don't really understand though....
what do you not understand, i might be able to clear it up
ah do
Here.
You guys go ahead with the test run. Ill watch.
lets go
HIt Points Question:
As each point distributed equals 10 HP, when armor/resitance is reduced to zero points should damage start being dealt. If so I think a six sided die plus bonus(melee=strength, range=speed, willpower=magic).
also on your turn you be able to recover one point of your choice?
Any objections? Rakefur?

I think that's reasonable. Why don't you and the masked wolf do a test battle, and if you could post what I should do, that would be helpful. Just kinda like a walkthrough for running the game.
Durza just so u know i am TaggerungTheOtter so i will be using his stats. As Rakefur if ye have questions
okay, I just ran through a simulation of what goes into an attack behind the scenes
PM me when you get it done

Yaey! my dungeon arena got in!
make the random traps(that is decided by a d6 roll, even means trap odd means no trap) deal damage to the player who wins a roll, and make it either half the attack of the enemy or the winner of the roll's speed(depending on which one is an even number)
also, could we remake our characters if we want?
I'm still finishing that post BTW, so watch it for more stuff.
That is WAY to confusing for simple-minded people like myself, but let's see what Durza has to say.
Yes you can remake chars, but please just edit your previous ones, don't make just new posts, you know what I mean?
I have two things to say right now.
1) Sorry about the laziness on my part, I ment to do what rakey did a couple posts back. Schoolwork happened and I just could not find the time.
2) We should move the super large post and characters to another page as soon as maps are developed. How are you doing that BTW?
I'm not sure. Maybe on paint? Do you have any ideas?
Grid or no grid?
Yes grid. Any ideas?
yeah
you know how we had the Idea for those arena bosses? Can whoever made the boss be them?
also, make a roster to decide who battles who and stuff.
this looks fun
