What type of arena is it? Is it an indoor urban area with a worked stone floor? Is it a wooded area with large trees randomly dotting the grounds? Is it daytime/nighttime? Some abilities/spells only work in specific conditions.
Is this a single-elimination event? If not, a fighter who loses all of his gear is going to be at a much greater disadvantage then say a warlock who does the same and then moves on to a second round.
When we enter the arena how far apart are we?
Is there some type of announcer or street caller or magical bell timer that indicates the start of the match?
What does the arena look like? Did I miss that somewhere? Is it just a wide-open area or is it enclosed? are there walls and terrain to work around or just flat sand?
The bulky warrior, in chain mail and with a greatsword sheathed at his back, strides forward 30 feet towards the center of the arena. as he moves he draws forth the massive blade and rises up off the sand ten feet. A shadow of the warrior appears then, five feet up and ten feet further in than the actual warrior. That shadow moves forward another fifteen feet.
Wilm will end up 30 feet from his starting position, but ten feet in the air, while his echo will be 25 feet further towards his challenger, and another 5 feet up (so 15 feet in the air.)
Some more questions before we start brawling:
1:It is in an outdoor arena, think like the coliseum
2:If you lose you die...so to participate again you need to make a new player (personally i like making characters)
3:You start 100 ft apart
4:When the current champion accepts a challenge you can roll initiative
If you are in a battle and dont post for over a day then i will temporarily take over that character.
