RPGuild Ranked Tournament

@Nightangel I'm going to say for at least the first round that will be the case and you will be fully restored at the beginning of each match.

It's likely not an issue. I'm merely pointing out my stance on the matter before a match happens.

And on the latter, that depends on how you defined how it functions. There would be instances where it would be possible to dictate what you say depending on how you constructed the item. Just another note.

@ShidenBlades

For example...

For your magic aura sensing this is assuming that A) an aura is present on the characters abilities B) that the aura itself is not altered in any fashion.

For the illusion one, it would be possible to construct an illusion that could fool that. I'm merely pointing out that there are methods of construction with magic that would allow this. Right now, it states with absolute authority that it can identify illusions. I'm generally not fond of language that states things with absolute authority as there are clever constructions of abilities that would allow this to be rendered useless even if said ability would technically fall under the purview of the item.

Does that make sense?

Big question on the power scale.

Using the most basic system, are we talking:
Street Level
City Level
World Level
Cosmic Level

@LeeRoy

Depends on the power. In terms of destruction, I'd be leaning more towards 'street level', although this is a poor description.

This would be on the mid to lower end of the second tier from the discussion on the Chat thread from a few weeks ago.

If you want clarification, you can run an idea by me first. I'd prefer not to tie myself down with trying to tackle this from a high level abstract point of view.

@Skallagrim I suggest a good one.

I'm looking to get the thread done tomorrow.

YAY for not having interruptions for a bit. I've actually gotten a lot done.

@ShidenBlades

I'll accept the bio with a few notes. For the Beholder Eyes, I will be enforcing their usefulness based on how the various magics are preformed. Currently as they are worded in that they are absolutely functional for those scenarios. This is more for the magic aura and illusion versions, as there are types of abilities that would not produce an aura or illusions that likely wouldn't be able to identify depending on how the spells are constructed.

I may re-review the bio later. This is just my initial impression and approval.

@Rilla

No. I'm not good at naming things on the spur of the moment.

I've posted the Tournament thread.

RPGuild Ranked Tournament

ALL APPROVED BIOS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE CHARACTERS TAB BY TOMORROW 8 MAY 2015 BY 6:00 PM EST.

Welcome!

This is the first in a series of annual combat tournaments on Roleplayerguild. This tournament will take place on one (or more) maps in a single elimination bracket tournament. This tournament will utilize a Powered level for its character meaning powers should be considered carefully in terms of scope and potency.

The deadline for participating in this tournament is May 7, 2015, 10:00 a.m. EST. By this time you must have indicated interest and completed the character you are using (you may choose the format of the bio). At this time the first map will be released for Round 1 of the tournament. After the first round is completed any map changes will be released.

Rules, Guidelines, etc:

• Standard Combat Restrictions for Powered.
• Characters may NOT be posted into the characters tab until they have been given my approval on the OOC first. Editing characters that have been accepted and posted into the character tab is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. You may request to make adjustments up until the May 7th deadline. However, any adjustments made without my approval can result in character disqualification. This is to ensure that no abilities are snuck in without approval.
• Judging will primarily be done by myself. @Rilla can judge in the event of my absence. Under no circumstances are any participants to judge others' matches.
• Characters are approved on a first come, first served basis. Thus, it is strongly encouraged characters be submitted well in advance of the May 7 deadline. I am not under any obligation to accept characters even if they are submitted before the deadline if there are too many last minute bios. By submitting early you give your character time to be adjusted after any feedback I may provide, otherwise I may just outright decline a character's ability if it is on (or too close) to the May 7 deadline.
• You can add additional stipulations to the match if your opponent agrees.
• You may NOT loot another character's corpse. You may wager items, but these cannot be used during this tournament.
• Assisting another combatant out of character is considered against the rules and can result in disqualification at my discretion.
• Matches may not begin until after the May 7 deadline, even if you have been already matched with an opponent. After the May 7 deadline matches must begin within two days unless prior approval has been given by myself for a special circumstance. Matches that have been inactive for over 5 days without notification to myself (and subsequent approval) will be awarded to the most recent person who posted.
• In the event of an odd number of participants one person will be given a by for the round. This will be done randomly.
• NO WEAPON MAY LAUNCH A PROJECTILE GREATER THAN 250 FPS. This also will likely extend to magic.
• I am free to adjust the rules in the instance I feel: A) another rule needs to be added B) the wording of a rule needs to be adjusted to preserve the spirit of the rule.

Tips:

• While Sci-Fi and Modern characters are allowed, please consider carefully the implementation of many of the items found on these types of characters.

Rewards:
This will be determined once I know the number of participants.
