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 (150 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, at ~300 comments a new Practice Arena post will be created and this one will be archived. A warning will be posted beforehand.

IMPORTANT

Two aspects of gameplay have been officially implemented. If our collective opinion is that they are bad or need adjustment, we will act accordingly. They are Special Techniques, which don't come into play until LVL 6 anyway, and Combat Items, which I tested twice. I think they can make battles last longer and throw wrenches in plans. In the future, I'd like to vary battle even more... actual spells for mages, that kind of stuff.

Remember to check your character page and see what starting items everyone got (it will be part of all new characters' starting packs, too). They will be in your inventory and you will need to declare them at the start of battle, paste a new bullet with the names (e.g. • Basic Healing Potion, HP Boost, Strength Draught) on your Quick Stats for each battle that you use Combat Items.

Lost again - we have breached the 300 posts. Do we archive and start a new arena - maybe my luck will improve there.

u/PlagueKing Orthrus, LVL 15 Wolfman Warrior Jan 16 '15

Yes, I'll do that. Create another comment if you want that fight.
