The Official Guild Pre Christmas Knockout Tournament!

I am hoping to get it done tonight

The Official Guild Pre Christmas Knockout Tournament!

Technically true! However, a hundred-foot-long spear would be absolutely useless as a weapon. The thing would have to either be too heavy to move, or have a shaft so thin it would snap like a twig.

If you want to hit someone a hundred feet away with a spear, you use a javelin.

@Drifting Pollen

I thought of a funny application for the technicallity of the power. If she created a long enough spear she could stab the moon and crawl up it if she was wearing a spacesuit...and if the spear with thick and strong enough to support it. I don't think that's troll science, it would just have to stick in good, I think. But perhaps it would get torn out no matter what from the forces of its orbit, like if the moon material isn't tough enough.

Or she could create a weapon large enough to create its own gravity on par with a planet or even a black hole, but I'm just taking things to extremes here.

Now she could create weapons too large to wield effectively but use other creative applications for them, but this power you have is perfectly fine and balanced to me if she uses it in the intended purpose.

This sounds fine, look forward to seeing your sheet, your opponent is ready.

@Dynamo Frokane

Okay.

This will likely be my worst fight since I'm not a master at realistic combat styles so will have to try and win through overall strategy rather than combat technique. I hesitate giving any character any sort of advanced martial art, otherwise they would look like a fool doing something not within the style. One reason it's taking forever to come up with modern character. Hopefully his pointy sword will help him out.

Edit: @Drifting Pollen

I trust you and all, but according to the character sheet it seems like she could create a hundred foot long spear. Just throwing that out there.

This just turned into LeeRoy's thread.

Obadiah isn't gonna stand up to a whole lot by himself. He makes for a good distraction in a team, but he lacks stopping power. That kinda limits my options on who to fight.

I could bring in a much more powerful villain and see how far I get?

@Lalliman

Fighting Evvie does generally require significant stopping power unless he sneaks around and "cheats". Bringing in a powerful villain to help could work or Obadiah could get a buff like he allies with deadly spiders who were crawling around somewheres.

And example of his cheating could be putting spiders in the cake that the heroes are baking in the castle and they could attack from the inside of the spider avoid getting bitten on the way down. That wouldn't be much of an arena battle though. The spiders dodging chomping teeth with spider sense would be quite the unusual fight.

So close-ish to realistic, based on being fine with a chi blocker you mean the character themselves and not the setting? I came up with a relatively low powered setting where people are tasked with fighting monsters that secretly invade earth. They use spiritual magic but he's not in tuned, still in training, so basically just fights like a normal human with some weak telekinetic bursts like a simple shove if he concentrates super hard. They use special weapons able to take them out but no more powerful against humans than normal swords and whatnot.

Lalliman versus 100 characters. The gauntlet begins!!!@Lalliman

Or we could claim your guy got separated, glance over the other battles, and have your characters fight in the matches you are most looking forward too. He might have trouble on some of them but who knows.

@Doc Doctor

K.

Other two, how goes your participation plans? As for docs characters, I'll have magna and his love interest go off screen and his other characters head off and get separated, perhaps due to seeing a possible target somewhere.

Arena Chat Thread

Just came up with a character who I think will be one of my favorites and may be interested in a battle with her if there are any takers. It's the most thought I put into a power and it seems pretty unique if I do say so myself. She can manipulate reality- (fights off angry mob shouting no reality manipulation) with a lot of restrictions. I was inspired by one of my favorite games, Gravity Rush, and greatly altered the powers from there.

She can see the fabric of reality if she concentrates, so it's like she can see glowing veins running through objects, even air. She can stick her hand, say, into a steel door while interacting with the fabric of it's reality and then tear it apart by tearing the string, or passing through objects. This takes a couple of seconds, so if someone slashed at her with a sword she couldn't grab it's fabric and snap the sword in time for it to not cut her, at best she could deflect the fabric back away from her to try and lesson the blow like a forcefield. Some material has super powerful reality fabric where she can't mess with it hardly at all, such as if you say your character has some legendary sword of wachamacallit, and from her setting likely some kind of rare ore akin to her version of kryptonite (which for the purposes of our fight, maybe they know about this fact and have some with them). Powerful living beings can resist her more easily as well so she can't win every grapple by tearing them apart with a thought, though she could do so to lessor beings if she desired, but she dislikes this heavily.

She can heal wounds by rejoining fabric back together, fly by solidifying the fabric of the air underneath her briefly, grasp at things using the same concept only solidifying around her target object, but she must first touch any fabric she intends to manipulate while her power is active and the effect would wear off once it leaves a certain radius. Things like the ground do count as one object as long as they are of similar consistency as far as her power is concerned, being made of the same fabric, but if she were to go through dirt and hit a rock her power would stop there. This means she could cause the ground below someone to fall to pieces by being in contact with the same ground as them within a radius but she couldn't send her power up into their body and attack them directly. It's very hard for her to grasp someone through the fabric of the air, as traveling long distances is always hard even through the same fabric, but also air is moving around a lot so it messes her accuracy up tremendously so takes great concentration. People can also overpower her grip on reality the same as if she was physically trying to restrain them.

The way her powers work allows for cool weaknesses, such as for example someone using a powerful fan to mess with the air so she can't grip the air around them, surrounding themselves in a smog that counts as different fabric, etc. Guns can of course kill her but her power level is high enough where she can deflect bullets with slight pain, so a valid threat would be able to swing a sword with more power than bullets to damage her through her reality shield or if weaker, taking her off guard or getting creative.

Any takers? I'm trying to picture what she'll look like so she's not quite ready, but is my main priority as far as new characters are concerned right now while I'm really excited about her. I don't want to take her power too far so she probably has trouble combining fabric so she can't just keep healing forever. Could be funny if her head pops off and she just slaps it back on, but this might just be a dream sequence of her doing so and it wouldn't work in real life.

I'll try to come up with a street fighter power level world I can draw inspiration from to get a character in.

Hey Doc, ready to continue this thing or have we all pooped out?
