At the Spider Guild, and AI has entered the systems. Its name: Slayer AI. It’s friendly towards the Guild and the Dragon Slayers Club, and is running a battle practice simulation in lab 12 of the Guild. Everyone will be allowed to try it out, as long as they respect the rules
Welcome! The majority of what is written here is just to make sure participants play fair, the system itself is really simple. I designed it for max roleplay and next to no confusion and fuss.
This battle arena has some ties to lore from other threads, but don’t worry, anyone can join!
You have 3 stats. These are Power, Stamina, and Defence. Battle is very simple, and is all based on 10’s and a few 5’s.
You may or may not get increments to these if you play well and fair, but everyone starts of with the same stats. 10 points in Power, 100 points in Stamina, and a +10 to defence.
Roleplay in battle: Battle here is all about the roleplay. Flavour your actions in everyway under the sun, there is no limit. That’s right, no limit. NUKE EM BOIS.
All battles are in a virtual world, so anything is possible. Stay with the roleplay, if you’re a medieval king, don’t actually fight with nukes please. But if you think your character would be able to summon themselves a steed, swing a sword, awaken an army of undead, or throw fidget spinners like ninja stars, then by all means go for it. Have fun, that’s the name of the game.
In this virtual world, everything comes down to YOU. You will still feel pain, but won’t take any damage to the actual you, only your character will. Winning or losing all comes down to how many hits you can take, and how many you can dish out. Like I said before, battle is very simple.
Battle: When fighting with someone, you will most likely be trying to win, to force them into submission. If you are not trying to do this, then someone is going to do it to you, and it’ll hurt.
When you attack, no matter what weapon, spell, or whatever you want to attack with, you will use power to decide its strength. Like stated before, you have 10 Power points, which replenish at the start of each of your turns. These will decide the DC for your attacks, and the damage they deal. You can distribute them however you like, making 10 attacks on your turn, using one point on each, if you wish. Or putting them all into one big attack. You don’t have to use all your points every turn if you don’t want to.
Just say, you put 5 Power points into an attack. Even though you have to put points into your action for it to actually do anything, the DC starts at 10. So 10, plus the 5 points you put in would bring the DC of your attack to 15.
Next, your opponent would attempt to defend. Again, they can flavour this however they like, dodging, deflecting, or anything in between. They would roll a d20, +their defence bonus, which in this case would be +10. If they get higher than the DC, then they don’t get hit, if they get lower or equal to it then they do. Please make sure you roll each d20 separately, a separate roll for each attack your opponent makes against you. For example, if your opponent attacked you with two 5 point attacks, you would make 2 seperate saves.
Damage: If a player gets hit by an attack (Getting lower than the DC) then they take damage to their stamina, purely from pain. For every Power point used on the attack that hit them, they take 5 damage to their Stamina total. Reaching a Stamina total of 0 or lower will result in that player losing. No arguments.
After taking certain amounts of damage, you will receive penalties to your defence bonus. Going below 60 Stamina points will result in a -2 to your defence bonus (in this case, bringing it to +8), below 50 will change that to a -4, below 40= -6, below 30= -8, and below 20= -10. After that you receive no more penalties.
Arena/movement: N/A. It’s a virtual world, the planets your oyster. Fly and move as much as you want on your turn, and roleplay with the terrain all you want! Just know that the terrain can only affect the roleplay, not damage or attacks, and if you fly away, you can bet your life your opponent is coming right after you.
There can only be 2 battle happening at a time, but if 2 people seem to have stopped in the middle of a battle (and it’s been at least 10 minutes since one of them posted) then you may start one with someone else. The other two can continue when they’re both online again, or call it a draw.
Don’t get hung up on one attack. If you had an idea for an epic move, but missed, don’t keep trying it over and over again. This is annoying for your opponent, and ultimately, for you too.
Hitting people is hard. With at least a +10 to defence at the start of the battle, your opponent will dodge most attacks. This will make the start of the battle a build-up, and once damage is done, peoples defences will start plummeting and bones will start breaking. Mentally at least.
Appearance: Your characters can look however you want! The only requirements (For the moment at least, I may change these later) is that they are not bigger than large, no smaller than tiny, and are humanoid.
Fair play: When rolling dice with the ddb dice roller, sometimes they do weird things and give incorrect results, or say that the roll was manipulated. If this happens, please just re-roll. Don’t edit your post, as that can make it look like you rolled badly and tried to make it say it was manipulated so you could roll again. Any cheating like this will result in an automatic loss, no arguments.
Winning or losing don’t really matter, like I said before, its’s all about the roleplay. If you do the math and find out something like that its technically smarter to just do really big attacks all the time, even though they only have to succeed on one roll, please don’t just do big attacks all the time. Roleplay, make lots of attacks in a turn, and equally, don’t be afraid to go all out on that one giant fireball you want to summon.
Fun roleplay is what it all comes down to. Feel free to put things like, “If this hits, my opponent goes flying back and smashes into a rock” and “My opponent attacked me, but missed, as I swung my sword to meet theirs.” As long as the battle is fair and both sides agree, just focus on roleplaying, and having fun!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask :)
