    Default Gladiator-Castaras and Heretic Win!

    So, yeah. I had an idea the other day, and I wanted to see if people wanted to play.


    Gladiator

    Every round, players may activate one stance and execute one attack. Attacks are executed as so:
    1. Attacker rolls attack against his target's defense.
    2. If the attack roll exceeds the defense roll, the attack hits.
    3. The attacker then rolls damage.
    4. At the end of the round, all damage is tallied, and everyone makes a vitality roll. If damage exceeds a player's vitality, the player loses a life.
    5. If you lose a life, you cannot act for the rest of the round.
    6. Players with 0 lives are dead.
    All players start with:
    1d6 damage
    1d6 attack
    1d6 defense
    1d6 vitality
    3 lives

    Players also start with 4 points to customize their character. They may purchase passive skills, stances, special attacks, and special maneuvers with these.

    (Whenever an attribute is marked with a '+', this means an increase in die size. If it is marked with a '-', this means a decrease in die size.)

    Passive skills: These skills are always active.

    Strength: Damage+
    Dexterity: Attack+
    Agility: Defense+
    Constitution: Vitality+

    Stances: A player may choose to use one stance each round.

    Rush: Player's initiative increases by 1, defense-
    Stealth: Player PMs actions to me, instead of posting
    Rage: Damage++ defense-
    Frenzy: Attack++ vitality-
    Power Attack: Damage++ attack-
    Combat Expertise: Defense++ attack-
    Shield Other: Grants defense++ to one ally
    Flank: Grants attack+ to all players who also attack your target
    Perfect Clarity: Defense++ vs one opponent (your choice), defense- vs all others

    Special Attacks: These skills replace your regular attack. Effects after the slash affect the player.

    Javelin: Player's initiative increases by 1 / attack-
    Net: Target's initiative decreases by 1 / damage-
    Sunder: Target loses 1 attack* if it hits / attack-- (does no damage)
    Shield Break: Target loses 1 defense* if it hits / attack-- (does no damage)
    Impale: Target loses 1 vitality* if it hits / attack--
    Weakening Strike: Target loses 1 damage* if it hits / attack--
    Stunning Strike: Target cannot act for 1 round if it hits / damage--
    Counterattack: Attack first person who attacks you / attack+ damage+
    Whirlwind Attack: Attack all who attack you
    Two-Weapon Fighting: Attack twice / attack-
    Leap Attack: / attack+ damage+ defense--

    *permanent

    Special maneuvers: You cannot activate a stance or attack in a round where you use any of these.

    Repair: Restore target's permanent attack and defense damage by 1
    First Aid: Restore target's permanent damage and vitality damage by 1
    Taunt: Target must attack you next round, but takes defense- for 1 round

    Temporary effects (such as those granted by stances) do not stack. Permanent effects do.

    All attacks happen simultaneously (unless initiative-modified), and all actions must be posted here (unless you are using Stealth). Up to 1 change may be taken, in either case.

    Dice stacking goes like: 1d2 - 1d4 - 1d6 - 1d8 - 1d10 - 1d12 - 1d14 - 1d16... and so on. Yeah, yeah, they don't really exist.

    So, how about it? Does anyone want to play?

    People who want to play:
    Castaras
    Gezina
    Zar Peter
    Captain van der Decken
    Eldritch Knight
    Warpfire777
    Silkenfist
    Selrahc
    Inky13112
    Lucid Archon
    Heretic (late)

    Game starts on Wednesday, 2:00 AM GMT. Finalize your characters before then.

    Rage
    assuming that your ++ and + are supposed to show what your rage would do, then your incorrect, rage decreases defense, and does not affect attack. Course I could be wrong on what your little +'s mean.

    @V but then why do you have d10 attack and d8 vitality, you already spent your points on those... me is confused

    Uh, Warpfire, the way this works is:

    You declare your actions, and then I'll tally it up at the end of the round and do all the rolls then.

    Nah, you were right, I was confused over what the standard was. Sorry.

    To clarify for Abardam, ++ on Damage. + on attack. Rage stance.

    Which leaves me on 1d10 damage and 1d8 attack I think before rage stance.

    A small, but well muscled, gladiator steps into the ring, he holds a short sword in one hand and a net in the other, adopting a stance with his sword to put maximum power into his attack. He slowly gives a cold look around at his enemies, ready to kill or be killed. He sees Gezina ready to counter attack his opponents. He mutters to himself ugh I hate that counterattack cheese as he flings his net at Gezina, hoping to capture the opponent and run them through.

    ((translation, powerattack stance, using net attack, attacking Gezina))
    (((Kitties!)))
    ((((No hard feelings about the counterattack comment Gezina))))
