Hopefully someone can add this to ranked matches.

Ahem. Light has mass, as it is composed of photons. The gravitational warping of light by black holes is an example of how their mass is affected by a physical force.

As for everything else, that seems fine. I assume the life drain applies to the Field Emitter and Black Flame as well, meaning that those two don't deal physical or heat damage as well?

@Vordak

They don't damage physical objects aside from, causing them to corrode or rot more quickly, depending on the object.

Well that contradicts every source I've ever found. But I'm not a expert anyway.

[@Grevious Khan]

In regards to Tordor.

There are a few things that i'd like to be specified: what exact effects do the Blood Drinker's life drain, the Black Flame, the Screeching Widow's sonic attack and the Field Emitter have? How damaging are they?

Also, what do exactly mean by the bullets having no weight (and thus, kinetic energy) and being unable to be affected by outside forces - in other words, not interacting with matter?

@Vordak

Your space in my name seems to have messed up the link thing. For the sonic attack I'm thinking 200dB at most. Hard to calculate energy drain, I'd say anything from 1-2% for direct hits. Also keep in mind the guns are not going to be used in this battle, but nether bolts, much like light, do not have mass thus do not have weight to them.

Maybe once she stabs/cuts into a wound on her body it takes a turn for the spirit to properly edtablish itself so she'd had to wait until the next turn to use it. A spirit can deconnect and go back into her sword on a single turn, though.

I'll likely change her race name. She can just be known as an elf for the time being.

I was a tad worried about the cloak but she can be firin' her lazor or stab his face. Or just get in a cat fight and ignore him.

@ImportantNobody

I think that should work, turn is another way of saying prep anyway.

Are we using the specific custom clothing in the reference picture to make these assumptions then? When someone says cloak I think cloak, not custom cloak.

@MelonHead

Great coat. The picture is reference to where the coat protects.

I'd argue it's actually better, it's lighter, covers all the vital areas fine, and has none of the weak spots at the joints that conventional armour has.

@MelonHead

What vital areas?(keeping in mind he's undead) He has no living arteries, the important one is his heart which is unprotected in the front (along with all those stomach organs).... then there's his head which is unprotected...his legs... I don't know, I don't see how it's a hyper upgrade of protection over full plate mail.

Are you somehow saying that plate armour negates all physical force? I'm fairly certain it just prevents attacks from piercing or cutting through the armour, the blunt force is reduced by padded clothing underneath. So I'd say your cloak armour is pretty damn similar. The bane of plate armour ultimately was bullets and maces, bullets can pierce the metal where-as they wouldn't pierce your cloak, a mace is as effective against them as either or. The fact that everyone in this fight is restricted to swords however essentially makes the cloak all the more powerful. My character will have to contend with his using brute strength, because someone like IN's character using small darting strikes and cuts won't have a chance at piercing his armour.

My issue with the cloak is that while it serves all the functions of actual plate armour it has none of the limitations, and can even stop bullets.

@MelonHead

The simple difference is you can break someones bones from the force of a sword blow much easier with the coat. It's the equivalent of wearing a breastplate, if covers and protects the chest, or in this case, the back, not sure how it equals up to a full suit of armor, but OK.

Right now, i'm going over the character sheets, and in all honesty, i don't get all the fuss about Tordor's coat. If it's a coat woven out of spider silk, no matter how durable and resistant to abrasion, it isn't even going to be as thick or heavy or dense as a Kevlar vest, so a mighty good whack from any kind of weapon will deliver nigh unhindered blunt force trauma. The only thing it will reliably protect from is penetration.

@Vordak

Ya, cloth armor may be lighter, but it's crap against Bludgeoning force. I don't know why Melon is the only person on the site who thinks my coat is plate armor. :K

I think we should hold off on the point wagering system for now.
