I think my contingency is currently to just move fast and be hard to hit, heh. But it feels like giving her something to at least protect the torso area from quick ranged weapons wouldn't be too much.

[@Fallenreaper] For sure, on the subject of fun. Actually one of the reasons I've been hesitant to join the arena is I wondered if I might not be competitive [i]enough[/i]. Since I'm mostly interested in just writing fun conflicts and not overly concerned with W/L.

I'm the same way really, though I admit to coming off as frustrated when I don't understand something or having issues determining the damage when stuff hits. I'm still pretty new as well as rusty from what I did manage to learn with an ex-vet in the arena. So, I wouldn't be concern with competitiveness unless you're fighting ranked battles or tourneys, though that's my opinion and anyone can likely disagree with it.
