I'm afraid of me godmodding or something. How do I know when I should say that my character has sumbitted or died? Is that basically just up to me?


It's based mostly on logic for me and that seems to work out. If your opponent is swinging a sword at you and you know your character couldn't dodge or block it, at that point you accept the hit and realistic damage that would ensure. If you don't know if your character could realistically have time to dodge then you could discuss it with your opponent. How fast was the swing? How fast is your character? Did the attack surprise them so they wouldn't have enough time to react? etc.

It's up to you if you want them to get killed off sooner than it would have to logically happen. For example, if you think you could possibly squeeze out a dodge, you can still say they didn't for some reason.
<Snipped quote by Rilla>

That's happened before, though people usually use. "After years of combat, their warrior sixth sense alerted them to the danger."

Or worse someone knowing your using an illusion, or which false image is the real one.


A spider sense-like ability would be fair as long as it's in their sheet. I could even see it sensing what is the illusion by the illusions not triggering the sense due to having no real danger.

Poison and disease resistance is becoming more and more common, I think a lot of the time I just happen to be making characters that naturally would be resistant to disease and poison, but other times I suspect I am hemming it in unnecessarily to hedge my bets somewhat. It's ultimately because poison and disease is incredibly difficult to counter, other than natural immunities you're forced to avoid taking any cut or minor injury or risk being poisoned and killed, and some can even be transferred through a cloud or other near unavoidable miasma.


We all take part in a massive battle and a toxic cloud is dispersed. However, only Evvie drops and everyone else looks around in confusion.

The Arena allows for all kinds of styles, subterfuge or nah. Your sword idea woulda been fine, probably, if you just had to prep or something to get the outer bit invisible.


Without that prep you would probably need a character who can take multiple strikes before being killed. Either that or someone with intellect nearly meta gaming and think "why is that person swinging a sword from that range? Aha! I must be in range!" and dodge in the period of time from the sword swinging to when it would have hit them.
Never bring a javelin to a mech fight.

If you make her a scantly clad saint, it would be ironic and give her an advantage against male fighters. :P

Especially Rilla.

It would only be an advantage if we go by anime logic. I'm planning on her being an elf so they tend to be scantily clad anyways.

the boxing match with IN, if he stops accepting tons of fights. :P


May plate is almost empty. I have an infinitely slow practice match with Vordak going and one with DJ. I'll have a bit more added on but not too many.

<Snipped quote by MelonHead>

That's what I was thinking, keep in mind the one person so far who has not really responded to this is DJ. Though I do feel he would be up to it I think. So preemptively, we just need to decide on battle ground while you and IN should mention who you plan on using. Torder and Kikin would be on the one side as reference.


He's pretty active and eager for fights so I'm sure he's joining.

I don't have who I plan on using typed up yet but I'll get to it. The elf and her sword of justice has the soul of one of the top historical judges among her people who went into a sword so that he could continue delivering justice, this time personally. The elf wielding it could be a saint although she's sort of gone rouge so that she could help deliver justice all around the multiverse. Being a saint would match up well with her partner for this battle, judgement. Also, she's be a glass cannon type while he's more heavy duty type. It's like they were made for each other, especially with all this talk about judgement going on.

<Snipped quote by ImportantNobody>

It has an oak handle and the blade is horribly twisted from being improperly reforged


So I'm thinking Evvie's fire breath should be able to destroy it, then.

Maybe my good guy in the magic/swordfight can have a sword with a good spirit inside of it, although good is subjective. I should say justice oriented, so might go overboard in it's quest to rid the multiverse of evil. It and the girl wielding it have metaphorical justice boners.
The two evil swords might be allies who like to betray each other a lot. :D

If you drain someone's soul I assume it still spawns good as new when they come back to life in the multiverse setting. Therefore, soul draining is more like just another way of killing them rather than permanent doom. otherwise I wouldn't have this canon.

Due to me posting on breaks at work I might disappear without continuing an ongoing conversation until a few hours later at least, for future reference.

Or two undead sword users (me and Dj's characters) vs two knights or some kind of monster hunters?


If someone else joins unless I take on the rule of both good guys.
<Snipped quote by DJAtomika>

How ironic, I have an evil possessed sword too!

His sheet is also in my character line up. Tordor.


So I'm guessing I might as well make a character with an evil possessed sword to make this the battle of evil possessed sword wielders?

I have a Headsman's Axe that became sentient after 100 years of use. It's not particularly evil, but it wants nothing more than to remove the heads of others. And it will go out of its way to do that.


Is it made of metal or a wooden handle?
@ImportantNobody Does "daemon possessed life sapping soul eating sentient katana" do that for you?


Should be easy to find motivations to oppose it. I'll see if any of my characters will work well or if I need another one. Tomorrow I'll think about it at work.
As Rez was reloading by the back door, his face practically dropped from within his helmet as he spotted a grenade plopping down nearby. His armor was good, but explosives were not conductive to maintaining it in the pristine condition that he preferred...well, that was an understatement, honestly. True fear filled his emotions as he began to turn tail and run from the blast radius, squeezing his eyes shut in horror, when the grenade went off and revealed itself, much to his relief, as a simple flash bang that would have been negated by his helmet's visor anyways. He was unable to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead after that one. Careless. That was unacceptable of him and he got off lucky. Despite them being from a more primitive world, he needed to take this more seriously or else he could suffer some serious injuries the next time something like that happened.

This little diversion cost him a lot of precious time. He grimaced as he finished his reloading and then stormed the building. The survivors were missing, but couldn't have gone out the front with all of the enemies. That just left...

His eyes darted to the staircase. That must be it. However, his attention was forced back to the other enemies, who began firing at him now that he had come into their sight. They had recovered from their own flash bang and were now quite pissed, if their angry shouting and aggressively trying to kill him were any indication.

"Hey, I'm not the one who did that! Shoot the other guys!" He shouted, lifting his weapon and firing back with a wild spray of gunfire out the now nonexistent front doorway. Some of their bullets glanced against his armor in return, chipping away part of his shoulder plate and another shot delivering a painful punch to his right kidney, although the bullet didn't penetrate all the way through.

"That smarts..." he groaned to himself, unleashing the rest of his clip their way in retaliation and to force them to get off of his back for a couple seconds as they scattered for cover or took one of his bullets and hit the sand, far more worse for wear. He reloaded as he quickly traversed the rest of the room, reloading his weapon a second time. Only one more clip after this one and he'd be out his main weapon, plus he was down some clips of his pistols in his previous skirmish with them. Perhaps he'd have to turn to his magical abilities to finish things off before he'd be caught in that predicament.

For now, however, he'd need to use his gun until the opportunity to do otherwise would arise. He took to the stairs, robotic legs easily springing up each one. Once he reached the top and entered a room he was greeted by one of them aiming a pistol his way. Aiming his gun and letting loose a stream of bullets his way, he began backing away to get into a better position of cover.
