The Deathmatch arena of DOOM!!!*

You might be asking yourself what you are doing here. Well, I'm here to answer that. I whisked you away from a multitude of multiverses, and brought you together to fight in this deadmatch. Why, you say. Well, I guess I'll explain later. Anyway, why don't you fill in those forms over there, so that I can prepare your tombstones. 

Spoiler: What is this (click to show/hide)

A semi-deadmatch game in which the GM will  drop stronger and stronger monsters into the game. It's the goal of the players to survive as long as possible, and finally defeat the Gm himself. Players can be historical figures or made up characters or whatever they want.

Spoiler: The enemies (click to show/hide)

The enemies will get stronger as the game progresses, and will not be balanced against the players. (not completly anyway) In order to stay alive the players have to see they can remain ahead of the monsters.

Enemy spawning system: Roll a d6 each turn. Combine the results in a hidden counter. Add one to the counter whenever anything is killed.(Player or NPC) When the counter reaches 20, roll a d10 on the following table:
10: Mini-Boss fight
9: Upgrade to next tier of enemies + new group of d4 enemies
8: Upgrade to next tier of enemies
7:Spawn 4-6 enemies
6:Spawn 2-4 enemies
5:Spawn d4 enemies
4:Spawn d2 enemies
3:Spawn d4 enemies next turn
2:Random magical event
1:d6 incompetent allies appear

Miniboss fights:

Whenever these are rolled, a miniboss appears. During that time all enemy spawning is deactivating, though the boss can summon enemies to the field. Bosses will be much more powerfull then normal units. When a boss is defeated, all players level-up, enemies are upgraded to the next tier, and players are given one turn to recuperate before new enemies are spawned.

Spoiler: The arena (click to show/hide)

Is supposedly dynamical, can be changed by players and events and at will of the GM

Spoiler: Leveling up (click to show/hide)

Leveling up is done by gaining XP(Duh). First level costs 2, then 4, then 8 ...
Killing a player will reward the other player an immediate level up, regardless of their levels. Players who level up gain:
-Gain a skill upgrade every even number
-A new skill every odd number
-Extra hp every 3 levels

Spoiler: Waitlisters (click to show/hide)

These will be dropped into the game at the end of the very same round a person dies. They will get normal items and such, and their starting level will be equal to the lowest of the group.

Spoiler: GWSWS 1.2 (click to show/hide)

This is the GWSWS, as lawastooshort calls it, a simple system for tracking player injuries in RTDs. It's evolved over time, and will probably continue to do so.
Injuries
Light Bleeding: Anything from a paper cut to a bad scrape. 10 healing points. [-1 HP per turn]
Heavy Bleeding: Caused by stab wounds, deep cuts, etc. Requires medical attention and 20 healing points. [-5 HP per turn]
Very Heavy Bleeding: Results from major bodily harm, such as impalement or severed limbs. Requires skilled medical attention and 30 healing points. [-20 HP per turn]
---------
Burn: Caused by tissue damage. Requires medical attention and 20 healing points.
Fracture: Caused by moderate blunt trauma. Requires medical attention and 20 healing points.
Broken Bone: Caused by heavy blunt trauma. Requires skilled medical attention and 40 healing points.
Missing Limb: Never heals, obviously.
Health
Players make a healing roll [1d6] for each wound they currently possess, starting on the turn after they receive it. The amount rolled is added to the wound's healing points, and the wound disappears when the points max out. Healing rolls cannot be made for a wound until it has received the proper medical attention. If a wound requires skilled medical attention, only players or NPCs with relevant medical knowledge can apply it properly. Everyone else gets a -2 penalty. Bleeding injuries drain health, of which each player starts with a maximum of 100. If a player has no bleeding injuries, they regain 4 hitpoints per turn naturally.

Spoiler: Attacks (click to show/hide)

Attacks are done using standard d6 dice thrwos. Aiming at a specific body part incurs a -1 penalty, aiming at the head or another instakill part a -2.

If due to circumstances, the attacker rolls lower then one or the difference between both rolls is equal to 5 or more (in favour of the defender), the defender may make an automatic counter attack.

You can give sugestions for the skills and such, if you want to.

Check my sheet then. Demons having a weakness to crosses is not cool.

Yes hold on then.

Something like this, good? I haven't yet done anything with races and such, but I'll do so later. Class will determine what kind of skills you get when leveling up.

[Tiruin]

In, bro.

Name: Feleris Valinar
Race: Silvan Elf
Class: Ranger Artificier  (Ranged class based on attack and support)
XP: [0/3]
Health: [50/50]
Skills: Blessing of Athelas, Adept Reflexes, He's a blasted Elf!
Inventory: [GM Decision]

[Caellath]

@Tiruin: Isn't your negative a little too tame? I may miss a healing spell while grievously wounded and die because of such. Or hit an ally with an offensive spell and accidentally kill them. You need one extra exp point to level up. It seems a little off to me.

[Tiruin]

3,6,12,24... < 2,4,8,16...

You sure? Ah, right. Forgot to add in killing other players

Remember, it's one xp now. But 2 xp next level. Then 4, then 8, then 16. It ramps up quite fast. It's in fact a 50 % increase.

You would have missed on a three anyway, the only thing that happens  is that where it normally would have fizzled away, here it will target a random person.

[Caellath]

It just reads "requires more experience", not "requires 50% more experience". So I was obviously puzzled.

[Tiruin]

Happy now? I even nerfed the player kill so I don't have to kill people later on to level!

I blame you.

Edit: By Elbereth. We're with Sean Connery!

Victory shall be ours! (Y'know, until he decides to kill us.) 

[Caellath]

No. You chose to be an elf, you deserve no respect. Your house should be burnt to the ground and the earth salted.

[Tiruin]

No. You chose to be an elf, you deserve no respect. Your house should be burnt to the ground and the earth salted.

You're not a Dwarf, Your lust for gold has no effect here nor has your treasures been stolen by my peoples. And not a DF elf.
