Welcome! In addition to the Iwaku rules, please follow these of my own:
No discussing real world hot-topic issues, such as politics, religion, or other things that may cause arguments.
Do please respect your other players, and my role as GM.
Don't be afraid to chat or ask questions! I love it!

Please at least one paragraph per post, do your best to keep the scene moving.
Please do your best with punctuation and grammar!
There is no posting order, and you are allowed to post to keep conversations moving, but please be courteous and limit yourself if it is only you and someone else.

Please do not post characters in this thread.
You may have up to 3 characters active in a single tournament. Other characters not in the tournament may still interact in the resort

(Many of the rules about rolling will only be used by me. However, die rolls and effects will be listed out in the post, so if I make a mistake you might catch it and correct me)

Combat is done in a turn-based format. Each player types out one post which details the response to the last round, as well as the character's actions for the current round. You may not control your opponent's character in any way, unless permission is given. You may also not emote any attacks landing, as the occurrences of each combat round is determined by dice, and will be emoted in the GM post.

In combat, each round a character may choose an action:
ALL-OUT ATTACK - 2 Attack dice
BALANCED - 1 Attack die 1 Defense die
TOTAL DEFENSE - 2 Defense Dice (This action may only be used twice in a row)
Or they may activate one of their special abilities.

(Defensive abilities that are not agressed upon will not activate cooldown)

Even Rolls (2,4,6,8,10) are successes, odd rolls (3,5,7,9,11) all fail.
1's are Critical Fails, 12's are Critical Success

1 Attack deals 1 health
1 Defense protects 1 health
Crit Attack deals 2 health
1 Attack and 1 Defense cancel out
Critfail Attack causes 1 health to attacker
Defense makes Crit Attack deal 1 health
Crit Defense cancels Crit Attack
Crit Defense deals counter vs normal attack
Critfail Defense allows a counter vs Successful Defense
Critfail Defense makes a successful attack a Crit



HEALTH CONDITIONS
Healthy -> Slightly Wounded -> Wounded -> Heavily Wounded -> Near Defeat -> Defeated
9hp -> 8/7hp -> 6/5hp -> 4/3hp -> 2/1hp -> 0hp (Dead)

WINS AND PROGRESSION
In general, the characters will 'level' in a balanced manner. The farther a character gets in a tournament, the more of their gear they can make look 'fancy' with no real gameplay difference. The winning character(s) of a tournament will get something new and fancy (still with no mechanical benefit), possibly progress towards 'win-locked goals' and must sit out for the next tournament. Other characters will also gain new gear for participation if they haven't won in a while
LOSSES - In most cases, battle losses will have no consequences beyond being out of the tournament. However, if decided upon by the players in one match, the loser may have to give up one item, may become inactive for a number of tournaments, or even be killed outright

Updated the throw to be 3 on crit. Bum Rush can be either way, I will let you as the GM choose the one that suits your style. Armor change is fine as well.

EDIT:

I'm not extremely picky about any of my layouts, so I will do whatever makes it easier on you. If you want it worded out in the profile, just give me a short blurb, and I can tweak them to match.
 
@XycloneKiller

If you could make Armor say (Opponents Fail Attacks on 2) then I think it'll be good for now! So if you can make that edit, you may also change his status to accepted!
 
@Mythy the Dragon-Wolf

Alright, I will go ahead and do that. Also just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding, attacks requiring more than 2 dice require the di e to be saved from previous turns, or is it the cooldown where an attack costing four means you cannot attack again for two turns?

The cooldown is how many turns before it can be used again. So say that I had a 3 die attack with 3 turn cooldown. You cannot use that ability for 3 full turns
 
@Mythy the Dragon-Wolf

Alright, so I think I understand this a little better now. The original 'all out attack 2 die' made me think each turn was a Pass go collect $200 thing. But gotcha ^_~
 
There's always the possibility of mock battles if you're not too sure how combat works ^^
 
@Tiguidi

:thumbsup2: It may take a little getting used to, but I will do my best.

Also, I will make an introductory post here shortly and if time allows, I will catch up on you guys' story thus far XD
 
@XycloneKiller

Just be good, they're in a rather joyful spot right now ;)

And if you want, maybe @Tiguidi would be willing to do a test fight with you? Though it's not necessarily necessary
 
@Mythy the Dragon-Wolf

But I'm always good... And, he's going to be in a different area for the time being as it would be awkward for a stranger to meander into the medbay XD
 
@XycloneKiller

We can do a mock battle if you want! Chronologically, it doesn't have to follow what happens in the resort thread ^^
 
@Tiguidi

Your call. My response will become less frequent in an hour and a half when I get off work. I tend to get more side tracked from RP outside of work XD
 
@Glass

I don't see any glaring issues. Welcome aboard!

Hmmm... would I need characters in the tournament/combat thread, in order to play in this? More interested in just bringing some characters in to have fun. Thanks.

Edit: More interested in the dungeon crawl part.

@Mythy the Dragon-Wolf ...

Please see above... I've read all three pages of the IC for the resort, and I have a perfect set up to intro my character(s). Thanks. Just need to provide the character(s) profile.
 
@Roose Hurro

Apologies. Life has been happening. I don't think I see an issue with just doing resort and possibly dungeon crawl. It wasn't the original intent but it should be fine. :)
 
@Mythy the Dragon-Wolf ...

Character profile posted last night, just waiting for approval. Thanks. Oh, one thing: Noted Kelon's mate had no profile, so, hope you don't mind if Deen brings his mate and kits.
 
@XycloneKiller , @Glass ...

I'd really like it if you could manage to stay in the garden... I'd like to intro my character(s) there, and have them interact with yours. Thanks.
