Wandering Monsters
In some areas there are monsters that wander throughout. For example, if an arena is a pirate ship, a wandering monster may be the Pirate Captain. Wandering Monsters are mostly unbeatable, and can do much damage. Some monsters may appear after a certain amount of turns. For example for our Pirate Arena, instead of a Pirate Captain, the Mighty Kraken may appear is a certain amount of turns and attack.
Wandering Monsters don’t always appear, and most will vary. So one round in Pirate Ship may have Pirate Captain, the next the Kraken who’ll be smackin’ with his tentacles.
W.M.s will be controlled by that game’s GM. The GM’s goal isn’t to destroy the players, but to hinder their game. The GM CAN slay players, but Slayed Players defeated by W.M.s will be brought back to life in one turn with the HP total they had before their butt-whopping, curtsy of your local GM.

Falling
Your character can be pushed or thrown by other characters, and you will usually fall of stuff when this happens. For every foot you fall (imagine the damage from being thrown off a ten story building!) you take 1 damage. So if you’re on a pillar, something smashes the Pillar, and you fall, you take 1 damage for each feet you fall.

Taking Enemy Loot
When a foe is stunned, tied up, or otherwise out of the way you can Take 1 Object. The winner of the match, get’s either an object from the opponent, or a one-of-the king weapon or gadget from the GM.

The GM
The GM has the power to start and end matches, describe areas, enforce rules, control Wandering Monsters, play as their own players, and describe how a character is defeated, effects, awards, among other things. The high GM is Maxios, and plays a character named Maxios (ironic ain’t it?). GMs can also create Maps.

Costuming
Costumes and Armor have no real effect in the game, unless presented in an award for winning.
Costumes are come up with. Your costumes can range from a Jester, to a set of Power Armor, to a Superhero Costume. But they have no real effect, but can have interesting in game effects.
Dressed like a jester, constantly make jests against foes. If hit, you can say your hat falls to the floor. Work with this. Costumes have effect on personality. If an arrow hits you, you can use up one of your dodges to say it grows through your hat, or a suit of armor stops it, or something like that.
You can change your costume from battle to battle, but not in mid battle.

Dodge
In each battle you have 3 dodges left. When hit, you can use one dodge which has the weapon or attack or spells do no damage. When using a dodge, come up with the situation of how the attack failed. Perhaps you do a flip, perhaps it hits your hat or costume.

Every round begins with initiative rolls. All dice rolls take part in the DnD dice roller. Your character can do 1 minor action, like taking out a weapon or dropping something, movement, and 1 normal action like casting a spell, attacking, using an item, etc.
After your turn, and everyone else, the GM posts the status of all characters, such as any status effects, their Hit Point total, and any items or spells they may have used.

FAQ
How much XP do I get for beating a foe:
Their level X 100 (so a level 5 guy gives you 500 XP)

How much XP do I need to level up:
1000. At level 5 and upwards, it becames 2000.

Do I need to RP:
No. No roleplaying is need. This IS an arena battle game after all!

[Maxios]

What team are you on, billtodamax?

Just to clarify, intelligence is how many spells you can use in one battle, times 2.
This means that if you have 15 spells, but a spell limit per battle of 4, you must choose 4 of your spells to bring into battle.

Taunt
"So these are my opponents?" Maxios. "They seem kind of easy to beat." He says.

MOVEMENT:
South: B1
East (up stairs): B2

RP
When he reaches the top, he stands in the middle of the arena stage. He holds his sword up to the sun.
"You think you can beat me? I am a warrior lich!" he yells to the other combatants. He puts his left hand in a fist, and raises it in the air. The crowd cheers in their seats, in excitement for the battle.

[hobbitkniver]

So let me clarify something. I have two spells and can only cast each one once in this fight?

[Maxios]

Yes, hobbitkniver. If it says 1 use, it means only 1 use in that fight. If say you use shield, which is a 1 use spell, use it in THIS fight, you can use it in the next. 1 use means only 1 use THIS fight. But, if it's an item that's 1 use, it's destroyed and unusable after that permanently.

[billtodamax]

Taunt:

Please don't kill me!

Movement:
North to B3
West to B2

Attack:

*attacks like crazy with a great sword*

[Internet Flea]

So we can't attack unless we're on B2?

[billtodamax]

*shrugs*

I dunno.

I know that Maxios was on B2, so I figured I had to be on the same one to attack.

[Maxios]

No, you can attack anyone as long as their in the same sqaure. If you have an attack with a range, you can attack anyone within it, so if you have a range of one, and you stand in B2, you can ATTACK anyone within 1 sqaure of you.

"HA!" Maxios says. He used 1 Dodge (2 Remain). Billtodomax's attack misses and instead slices the ground. Maxios slashes his sword at Billtodomax that does 1d6 Damage.
