Title: Colosseum Maximus RTD
Post by: RoseHeart on August 26, 2019, 06:53:27 pm

Just a simple RTD for duels, team battles, free-for-alls, and PvE variants of these. These battles are meant to be highly lethal and end in a few turns. Practice matches will last longer.

ROLLS

Rolls:

1:	Bad! NO BONUSES.
2:	Crappy!
3:	Okay.
4:	Good! Repeat last action = LEARN SKILL. Repeat last action that was a Stance Skill outside its' depth = UPGRADE SKILL.
5:	Great! LEARN SKILL. Use Stance Skill outside its' depth = UPGRADE SKILL.
6:	So good it is bad! NO BONUSES. Odd accidental action outcome = LEARN SKILL.

4:	Good! Repeat last action = LEARN SKILL. Repeat last action that was a Stance Skill outside its' depth = UPGRADE SKILL.
+:	Great! LEARN SKILL. Use Stance Skill outside its' depth = UPGRADE SKILL.

TRAINING

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

ENTER, YOU: You are an adult human. Let me know if you are a Gladiatrix, a female fighter. And if you are left handed or ambidextrous, if not right handed. You can describe yourself as having tatoos or ornamental helmet but are otherwise naked. If you die or are critically maimed you may respawn or create a new character, losing all you have gained. You can die from fights with live weapons against players and npcs, and against animals that are clearly described as lethal.

DUMMY: Use live weapons against a stuffed dummy with a head and body over a wooden cross. A human shaped stationary target.

SPARRING: Equip a practice weapon and protective helmet as you fight another player. Risk of temporary injury. Surrender by raising a finger.

TURKEY: Equip a live weapon and protective helmet as you fight a turkey. A fast moving turkey target. Risk of temporary scratches and permanent scars. Surrender by fleeing the arena or requesting help.

ROOKIE TRIAL: Equip a live weapon and protective helmet as you fight a series of increasingly difficult non lethal animals. How far can you get? You can bring a teammate. Risk of temporary scratches and permanent scars.

VETERAN TRIAL: Equip a live weapon and protective helmet as you fight a series of increasingly difficult lethal animals. How far can you get? You can bring a teammate. Risk of temporary and permanent injury. And death.

EXPERT TRIAL: Equip a live weapon and protective helmet as you fight a series of increasingly difficult NPC humans to the death. How far can you get? You can bring a teammate. Risk of temporary and permanent injury. And death.

DUEL TO THE DEATH: Equip a live weapon and protective helmet as you fight another player to the death. Risk of temporary and permanent injury. And death. Surrender by raising a finger, the audience will vote if you fought valiantly enough to be sparred.

EVEN MORE:

• I am an available referee for PURE NOMIC (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174537.msg8015639#msg8015639) "Global Directors" to resolve disputes via a Duel to the Death.
• Beware: Global Directors and Citizens may be considered to be killed in Pure Nomic when they die here, depending on the rules of that game. All activities will have informed risks.
• (Planned) In fights versus other Pure Nomic players, your Spirit Warrior will be able to enhance your skills or temporarily grant new ones.
• If you are interested in these, register as a Director or Citizen in PURE NOMIC (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174537.msg8015639#msg8015639). Otherwise feel free to play the base game without signing up to Pure Nomic. You can convert your character later.

Not sure, maybe there can be a setting, decided by the participants, and the participants would improvise weapons based on the setting? Here is a draft of a character

Name: Amalgamate
Appearance: an amalgamation of various animals, kept “alive” by necromancy

Maybe. That may be a good way for different hosts to differentiate. I'd mainly focus on Roman themes and pre existing weapons in the world.

I would tend towards urban fantasy/sci-fi characters, personally. Magic automatons, cyborgs, necromantic creations, and so on.

Weapons for the first would be alchemical/artificer, the second would be sci-fi weapons, and for the third necromantic creations.

No rule forbids it so I don't see why you couldn't do that.

If I was going to make a necromantic character then I would probably go for a lesser holy lich, a low power lich that is on the side of good, basically.

Title: Re: Colusseum Maximus (Pure Nomic players and guests)

It is able to be a holy lich because it doesn't break divine laws. It gets permission to use the corpses and stuff.

Until we get more weapon suggestions, the first bout will simply be between Gladius wielders. Once there are about 10 or so weapons, I will consider skills but for now, this is simply an RTD affair. Any bonuses will come from using the terrain, enemy injury, and other ingenuity to your advantage.

We have a few sign ups, but who will be the first to enter the ring? This is a mock battle, and the weapons will only bruise, not kill.

It looks like we are going with liches.

That is certainly going to have an interesting impact on the kind of world we are making.

Weapon suggestions:

Orc Femur Club
-A club made using an orc's femur. As strong as steel.

Thunder Staff
-Made by a gnomish artificer. At the push of a button it emits a burst of lightning at a target.

So it seems people really want to be non-humans? A liche, a robot, a patchwork creature...

Tell you what, I'll give you two choices, because this is just a demo. You can either be these things, but with human like levels of strength and endurance. Or you can have a human hero fight on your behalf(they can have tatoos, or ornamental headgear of your avatar).

---

All fighters begin in the Practice Quarters. You can spar with a dummy here. This is a stuffed dummy with a head and body over a wooden cross.

You have your Gladius sword. Attack when ready.

OR

You may enter the Practice Arena. I am waiting for Elra/Amalgamate to choose to either have their power adjusted to human level, or have a human hero fight for them. If a hero they can also describe their costume.

You have a Mock Gladius sword and protective helmet. Who will spar with Elra?

I'm thinking that LBOS would be about human strength and the ethereal glow would be from the controlling intelligence being elsewhere.

Alright. For my duels it will probably be, you can do that to avoid your real character dying. But then they don't develop skills themselves, and anyone can hire the heroes. Maybe they can bid on them with points.

"Clear the arena!"

Some helpers on break yawn and stretch and slowly stagger out of the pit. There is apple cores and bits of litter upon the Practice Arena's dusty floor. A hole in the ceiling illuminates the circle well enough. An old man stops sweeping the benches and sits down with a tired grimace, as if his face always looks that way.

Describe your first action in a spoiler. Do not look at your opponent's spoilers during the match. This is a non-lethal match. Good luck!

@roseheart , I think that non-players of the core game should have to align themselves with a player of the core game. This alignment would be up to them to choose and would help tie them into the core game.

Post by: Failbird105 on August 28, 2019, 06:34:17 pm

I'd argue against that myself, simply because the characters I want to play would all be aligned to things that are not any of you.

But also I'm not a player of the main game so I guess my word doesn't really mean much.

It’s no proposal wendsday today, but tomorrow I’m sure there will be proposals that would allow guests/citizens/cadets more involvement with the game, the 6 main players would be Global Directors. See the main thread (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174537.0) for details on that

I should differentiate. I don't mean alignment in the sense that you couldn't align yourself with a deity or whatever. I mean that this would be like an allegiance of sorts. Or a department of sorts. I have rules in mind for the main game that this would tie into. This is meant to be a potential avenue for non-main players to get into the main game.

Like if someone was to align with me, for example, then they could, rule set willing, be an advisor/second (in duels maybe) or whatever. If they fulfill certain conditions, as determined by the rule set, then they could maybe even take my place in the game under conditions determined by the rule set.

(I am going to assume players are male, but let me know if you are a Gladiatrix, as male/female anatomy is not identical so I am told.)

You quickly cut it up, just like before. There might have even been some brief clapping from one person.

You're going to have to spar with a real person to improve this technique.

I am going to offer the first PvE training. Turkeys! This is a fast moving target and you will be using live weapons. Unfortuately it is not humanoid like a dummy, so consider which would be better for the technique you wish to learn. Beware, the turkey may fight back with their beak and talons! AHH it's just a turkey.

More weapons will be available in all training areas when suggestions are made. They must be real world Roman era or older.

You must create a Stance for your Skills to improve your rolls.

"Listen."

They stop and turn to him.

"These are not normal turkeys. These are wild turkeys. These are attack turkeys."

They glance at each other, and back to him.

"Throughout the contryside turkey farmers go about their business. Then they find the next day, all the males killed, and an attack turkey laying claim over his new harum. The farmers often ask soldiers to help capture them. They are fast, they are sharp, and they GOBBLE-GOBBLE-GOBBLE!"

LBOS gives up on trying to take the turkey alive and goes for the kill. LBOS raises its gladius and slashes at the turkey thrice.

1 (priority 12vs163)

(-10) GOBBLE-GOBBLE-GOBBLE

The turkey scratches at LBOS's chest and gets free. (-10) Somehow in the commotion the gladius has been knocked away.

(+5) LBOS doesn't see his sword. He finds it right behind him.

Elra and Burt enter the arena with real weapons this time. After a respectable nod there it is...gobblegobblegobble...they step back-to-back and peer off as in opposite directions as the shadow mouth of the animal pens are opened.

They look in opposite directions but see the same thing. Silver tiny eyes of rage.

Burt 100 | Elra 100 | Turkey-A 300 | Turkey-B 300

(Elra has chosen a move, she may change it. Still need Burt's)

BEFORE the match truly starts, if you would like to retroactively create a stance you may do so now. This is the only way to improve Amateur techniques.

Put up to 3 skills into it and give it a name. More can be added later.

(Can you give a sample stance? For reference on what one would look like?)

If I had a skill that was a Dodge. I might create a stance called Evasive Stance.

If I had two skills that used the same weapon, I might name the stance after it.

The point is, Amateur skills are just going to stay Amateur and not give bonuses until they are part of a Stance. Gameplay wise 3 feels like enough ways to get bonuses to rolls. Or to RP it you have to go into the fight with the mindset to use it, and the proper footing to take most advantage.

(Ok, Elra’s skill is taking a one handed weapon in her non dominant hand. I am unsure what to call the stance, Improvisational Vigilance?
Thought process for the name is that she is focused on figuring out which items can be used as improvised weapons)

Retreat.

As in, exit? Or gain some tactical distance?


Elra action? (Improvisational Vigilance Stance set as current.)
