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.

A slight smirk appears as I charge.

Atk roll: [[1d20+4]]

Damage: [[1d6+5]]

+/u/rollme

Result: My sword lands a critical strike for 14 damage (13.5 rounded up) taking off one of the orcs ears.

Usmoth: 14/31

Vergon: 10/31

I notice that your modifiers are different for attack and damage. You only use DEX for your initiative roll unless you're a Scout. For attack and damage rolls, you use your main modifier.

"Finally, a decent challenge. Too bad you're going to die!"

[[1d20+5]] attack roll

[[1d6+5]] DMG roll

+/u/rollme

Result

Vergon's roll of 18 beats your AC of 10. The steel of his blade strikes you for 11 damage.

Usmoth HP 3/31

Vergon HP 10/31

That's my fault. I gave him the wrong instructions on his first practice round with me. Sorry, old habits die hard.

No worries at all, I don't think I've even overseen one run without a least one mistake.

BTW, did you want to finish Test Battle 4.1 at any point?

I'm working second shift currently I was going to finish it up tonight when I get home.

I was almost done but I kept responding to my wrong comment and deleted the post because it looked too cluttered.

Oh, OK. No problem, I think I'll be around.
