Dumb

[Unraveller]

Heh, heh, you should be good now (I hope). Well I'm glad that there are already three gladiators. I was originally nervous posting this because for some reason I am afraid of what online people whom I'll never know think about me, go figure.

I wonder If we'll be able to do 32 gladiators?

[variablenonsense]

Hey, don't feel bad. I'm always afraid of looking like an idiot in front of literally any strangers, so. I know the feeling!

Hopefully there will be interest; it's not like it's super hard to make a gladiator if you want to poke in just for fun, and you did agree to give time for numbers crunching, so I'm sure we'll see more people coming in. I hope so, anyway. I always have fun in seeing what roles people like to take for community style games.

[Unraveller]

You hit the nail on the head, I love to see how people react to each other in this sort of setting. I'd love to see some strange and original builds,, and so far, it seems to be going nicely. I hope a Crundle wins, I love those little guys.

Welcome aboard you vile venom filled cretin! A biting skill like that coupled with your serpent venom could prove to be quite the lethal weapon!

[Tesseract]

About that, is it possible to equip two shields ? Would the gladiator still be considered unarmed ?

[Baffler]

I'll bite, how's this sound? It seems like most people are putting most of their points into skills and a weapon, so I'll try more of an all-rounder and see how it goes for me. The high point cost is going to hurt later on (if there is a later on) but hopefully the initial boost in protection will let me make up the lower skill down the line.

Yeah, I am not expecting this build to go very far.

Alright! I fell asleep for a bit or else I would have responded a lot quicker to everyone, just going to check over each build now.

About that, is it possible to equip two shields ? Would the gladiator still be considered unarmed ?

I shall do some testing on that and get back to you.

Hugh Man is truly a man among men, jack of all trades, master of none.

Alright! I hope rechecked your math all well and good, there seem to be a ton of daggers in this tournament, I suppose they get the job done and are cheap. You are all accepted and I hope we have a great tourney!

Your reputation and long title preceded you my lord. Hail Bax, the stinkiest and perhaps ugliest Goblin around!

[Tavern]

This looks really cool :O Working on building up a good gladiator but I was wondering, is everyone just gonna be average agility, strength, etc.? Didn't see a spot to pay points for better physical stats.

[Putnam]

Kinesthetic sense, spatial sense and willpower are hugely important for combat and you're not taking them into account... while you are taking into account disease resistance, which is pretty much useless except against brown recluse spider men or whatever.

Also, the observer skill is pretty important.

Also, your chart is wrong. Platinum has a better edge than copper. Also, bronze's stopping power is actually slightly worse than iron's, given a weapon of iron or better, due to iron having better FRACTURE and STRAIN_AT_YIELD values. If the weapon is worse than iron, however, bronze is better.
