this sounds cool, but i am cunfuzed as to how to join, and how this all works, could someone please explain?

 Essentially, create a level 3 character and post it.  Matches are announced here (as well as a PM to participants) when they're getting ready to start.  After a match you're able to join is announced (so level 3 match for a new character), go to the thread linked for the match and post the requested info (link to character sheet, starting position on map, anything you do in the prep round, etc)

Create a level three character with the standard array or 27-point buy stats. Please avoid Unearthed Arcana. In the interest of balance many such features will not be allowed. You may begin with your class and profession standard equipment as well as any armor and weapons you wish from the players handbook chapter 5. None of this equipment can be sold here for gold. You may also select one uncommon magic item (with some exceptions, see the first post int he thread for more details).

 thanks, just one more thing. after i start and create a character, how do i actually play? and whats going on at the point i'm starting?

 oh, one more thing, can i make my character not on DDB?

this is my character!

 You wait for a level 3 match to be announced.

Sha'kar holds back a laugh and does his best to keep a straight face as Onex tells him that the "wonderous" mirror....glows.  He reaches out and (assuming Onex doesn't stop him) taps the mirror three times to see what happens, imagining an unnatural green color for the light (think Wildfire from GoT).  "Seems like a mirror wouldn't make the best bludgeoning device.  They generally break too easily..."

In response to Onex's last, conspiratorial question, he responds "Something else?  Such as..."

 

 Onex claps then snaps his fingers at Sha'kar. "You're right! I should've made the po-talk-tor that! Rookie mistake, my boy, rookie mistake! That'd show me, the prick!" He cackles for a few seconds, then abruptly stops to give Sha'kar a look over. "Something else? Who said that? Wait... I said that, didn't I? No... no, I didn't that was you. Ahem! But yes! With a few alterations I can I can record a message done by dictation, replicate a repeating segment of sound, smells, or uncomplicated visuals, and, uh, and... Yes! The light! I can do that one too. Very useful, I assure you, very useful. So, what do you say, my boy?"

"Can you make the rock give off light when tapped?" Sha'kar asks, pointing at the blue rock again. (Did the mirror start glowing when I tapped it?)

A match for all interested level 6 competitors has been set up. The match will start in no less than 48 hours. 
The match will take place in the Fighting Grounds of the Coliseum:

CORRECTION: Math will start 48 hours after current level 5 match ends.

(How much does a sentinel shield and mithral split cost) 

(You can trade any two uncommon or rarer magic items or prize tokens for either)

(Both are magical items, so they would have to be earned either through winning in the coliseum, trading 2 Uncommon Tokens or 1 Uncommon Token and 1 Uncommon Magic Item or greater(Tokens you can earn either through Roo's slot machine or advance due to a loss in the coliseum) for said items, or choosing one or the other as your starting bonus for a new character. 

That all said, the next level 3 match is up as well if you haven't already joined.)

"Can you make the rock give off light when tapped?" Sha'kar asks, pointing at the blue rock again. (Did the mirror start glowing when I tapped it?)

 It did, and its surface glowed like a smart phone.

Onex scoffs and waves his hand. "But of course I can, my boy! Do I look like some apprentice? I've been at this for years, my boy! Years perfect various formula to make my products totally interchangeable!" He declared. "But, it will only glow that one color was imbued. So, if you want to change it, you'll have to come back and pay a small, small fee."

Sha'kar shrugs his shoulders.  "A glowing rock does seem like it could make a nice nightlight," he says, deciding to humor the some-what crazy-seeming man.  And a glowing rock could come in useful sometimes... He pulls 10 gold out of his purse to hand over.

Lumimar is an Aarakocra Monk who came to fight in the Coliseum to raise money for the monastery that he was born in, which is running low on funds. They need the funds to facilitate the homeless in the area, who are given food and beds there. Even though his monastery does not take kindly to fighting, he has departed secretly on a "spiritual journey", donating most of his winnings to the monastery.

Rothander stands in the Glory trying to figure out which fight he should join. (Does he need to start all over or what lvl should he come in at?)

Rothander is a Dwarf of the mountains. He has a coal black Mohawk with a long black beard that has red streaks dyed in it. He keep his beard tucked into his belt. 

He came to the arena to try and not only find clarity but to also enjoy the thrill of the fight.

(@Hill: You would yes, at least for the most part. But, it's a decent chance to correct any build issues you remembered from last that you regretted. Here's the basic creation rules:)

Create a level three character with the standard array or 27-point buy stats. Please avoid Unearthed Arcana. In the interest of balance many such features will not be allowed. You may begin with your class and profession standard equipment as well as any armor and weapons you wish from the players handbook chapter 5. None of this equipment can be sold here for gold. You may also select one uncommon magic item not on the list below.  Introduce your new character in the Glory.

Banned MI List:

 Once you've created a character, you can throw in a description of them for Bdaddly to make reference back to them here in the Glory thread. And when your character is complete, go ahead and post a link to your character sheet on the thread below, along with rolling initiative, doing any prep, and choosing a start position. As that is where the level 3 Match is about to get underway at.

Above post goes for you as well bud. Match should be getting underway within the next 24 hours, I believe. Though welcome aboard Snake. :D

Thanks for the info Orileo

(No problem-o. There's an updated House Rules on that same thread I mentioned as well. Though the biggest/main change is in regards to summons/pets, disallowing ones conjured by higher level spells such as Find Steed, Animated Objects, etc, but allowing the use of those from features from a class such as Beastmaster's Ranger, Battlesmith Artificer, or the 1st level Find Familiar spell(for example). This unfortunately meant the Sheperd Druid is sadly nerfed, but its to keep from getting trounced one-sidedly due to sheer odds in at least those methods.)
