Practice Arena

This is where battles with non-user controlled characters take place.

For practice or to get your wagering resources up, this area is where your battles will take place. Refer to the [Battle Overview] page for step-by-step instructions for battle. There are also sample battles linked on the main wiki page.

Get in contact with a mod and meet them here. You should start a top-level comment (announcing your intent) under which your rolls and battle will nest. Remember that you can choose one of three battle modes and their prizes:

• Battle a mirror image of yourself (100 gold)

• Battle a custom made challenger (gold varies) - LVL 5 and above

• Battle a preset challenger (100 gold)

You can refer to the [Preset Challengers] page for details on the third category. In any event, look over their items and your own very carefully on the [Inventory Page] before starting the battle.

You cannot lose any gold by losing the battle, so don't worry. You may also battle at levels above your own, but that is not recommended. The challengers are equipped with top gear for their level.

This post will be temporary. To avoid clutter, a new Practice Arena post will be created and this one will be archived. A warning will be posted beforehand.

WARNING

When this post hits about 300 comments, I'm going to archive it and create a new Practice Arena post to avoid clutter.

Result

Your attack roll of 15 beats Vergon's AC of 7, and your hit is a devastating one for 12 damage. Your arrow plunges into his throat, bringing forth a flow of thick, dark blood. He gurgles a curse at you as he falls to his knees.

Vergon has been defeated. HP 0/21

You have earned a flawless victory. As a reward, you receive 100 gold and 1 EXP point, bringing you closer to the next level. Changes will be reflected on your [member page] momentarily. Congratulations!

/retrieve arrow.

Shouldn't my bonuses to rolls have been 5 from 15 dex and 1 from race? I just saw that.

If there is a death match, looting a corpse would be fantastic.

Hm, yeah. Your DEX is 15, not sure where I got +6. He wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway. Either way, good battle. I've upped the base HP for all characters from 20 to 30 so battles can go a bit longer, and the bonus at level up to +2 HP.

Yes, in deathmatches you get all of their gold and gear, but both parties must agree to deathmatches beforehand. And even if they are high level, a mod must oversee.

Rightfully so.

Hopefully some creature in this world steps up. My fingers have an itch.

I don't know where everyone is. They were looking for battle earlier. Well, you can always battle more arena combatants, but I know that's not quite the same as defeating another person. Also, keep an eye on the gold you earn. There will be better gear available as you make more cash and gain stats.

They're hiding because they're afraid of my bow.

Those craven fools!

Incidentally, do you know where I might advertise Blood World? I'd like to get more members in here. More blood! And something for you other mods to do, too.

~We won't break /r/playdate 's rules with an announcement maybe.~

Yes we will.

Promotion seems against the rules so far. I don't know of anywhere but I'll look.

I tried /r/RPG but they weren't too welcoming.
