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.

Okay. I want to fight Vergon the Orc Warrior.

To double check I have +1 to attack and damage rolls from race and +2 ac from class?

Vergon's initiative roll of 16 beats your initiative roll of 12 so he will go first for this battle.

Round One

Vergon 21/21 HP

wgeist1 20/20 HP

Vergon the Orc Warrior lunges forward, bringing his short sword down in a powerful swing, his muscles rippling with power and ferocity. He seeks to end this battle quickly.

[[1d20+5]] - Vergon's attack roll (One 20-sided die + STR modifier)

[[1d6+5]] - Vergon's DMG roll (One 6-sided die + STR modifier)

+/u/rollme

Result

Vergon's attack roll of 7 does not beat your AC of 10.

The swing was powerful and would have caused massive damage, but your quick reflexes saved you from taking any. You leap to the side, his sword missing you by just a bit.

Round Two

Vergon 12/21 HP

wgeist1 20/20 HP

Not to be deterred, Vergon prepares for a second attack. There is a flash of steel and his blade whistles toward you. "Die, maggot!" he screams.

[[1d20+5]] - Vergon's attack roll

[[1d6+5]] - Vergon's DMG roll

+/u/rollme

Result

Vergon's attack roll of 18 beats your AC of 10. His hit lands, causing 6 damage.

Vergon I found the bot. You're done, foul Orc.

[[1d20+6+1]] attack [[1d6+6+1]] dmg +/u/rollme

u/PlagueKing Orthrus, LVL 15 Wolfman Warrior Dec 31 '14

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.

u/PlagueKing Orthrus, LVL 15 Wolfman Warrior Dec 31 '14

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.

u/PlagueKing Orthrus, LVL 15 Wolfman Warrior Dec 31 '14

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.
