My Gladiator: Sfold
Human [60]
Bronze spear [90]
Copper Buckler [28]
3 Spear skill [60]
3 dodge skill [60]

2 coins leftover.

I wanna fight with a Tiger.

60+90+28+60+60=298. Starting cap is 200, not 300.

Ah, ok, I will fix it.

In a savage response, he lashed his head down and bit the wolf on the forhead, copying its actions.

LITTLE WOLF! I EAT YOUR FACE WITH MY FACE! OMNOMNOM

Little Mog is scared. :C

The Dwarf with No Name turned the pouch of silver coins over in his hands.  It would be useful to have a name, to give something for the arena management to work with when promoting his fights.  Of course, he couldn't reuse any of the names from the past couple towns; that wouldn't work out well for anyone concerned. 

Gladiator:  Dwarf, (60)
Name:  Hur Gostangfer, "Hammer Awe-inspiring Beast"
Net worth: 225
Personal:  1 wolf tooth bracelet
Weapon: Silver warhammer, (90)
Armor: Copper buckler (28)
Skills:  Hammer 1, Shield 1, Dodge 1, Fighter 1 (40),
Leftover:  $7

"Hur" pauses for a moment, but then signs up for another go-around with a wolf.  He knows he needs some more gear and training before tackling more dangerous game.

I'll wait out until my modded race is screened.

I noticed something about the rules. So, getting good equipment costs much. that's a good idea, a steel two-handed sword costs around 1000, that's cool.
However. Leveling up a skill might be too easy: 10+20+30+40+50+60+70+80+90+100+110+120+130+140+150+160=1360. And there you have it, 1360 coins spent, and it's a legendary weapon skill. I think that's too easy compared to, say, adamantine weapons (adamatine battleaxe costs 10200), so you might want to reconsidering the leveling prices.

Then again, a dwarf who tackles enemies constantly might become a badass anyway, through natural skill increase.

[smakemupagus]

I'd say compare it to steel, not adamant ... in which case you're spending between 500 and 1000 on your steel weapon and somewhere between 1360 and 5600 on legendary skills (weapon/dodge/fighter/shield)

Vanilla pricing never made much sense did it? Anyway, is having leather from diffrent beasts actually do anything, or is it a vanity thing?


Also, I like the way you set up the fights.

My manager's background:

The full story.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is a Dragon Leather bound book, and it menaces with spikes of Demonic Leather. It is written in a sticky, red-ish ink. It is titled: A Tale of Armok's Managers.
Chapter One.
This is a story of wealth, betrayal, and, most importantly... Blood. Blood is what keeps us running, what keeps us going. And there's gonna be a lot of blood spilled, only to tell this story. The story of how a street urchin, a young boy, became a famous Gladiator Manager. Well, since that spoiled the whole story, I probably don't have to tell much more. But I will, since I like telling stories. The boy, named Tom, did various errands. Sometimes for the city guard, sometimes for merchants, sometimes for the Thieves' Guild. He begged, stole, worked and fought his way to the entry price of 300 silver coins. A hundred for the entry price, 200 as a starting budget. Nothing more. He bought a slave, an Elven Swordsman, who he began to see as a "companion". Knowing that in the Arena, no one could be killed, due to it being an official Temple to Armok, god of Blood, he sent his slave out, with nothing more than a bit of leather armor and a bronzen sword against the Tiger. The tiger made short work of his slave, and Armok was pleased. He learned to be a bit more careful, as the Elf was too inexperienced to fight the tiger. He would send him out against a wolf in the next battle.

My slave's backstory:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is a Dragon Leather bound book, and it menaces with spikes of Demonic Leather. It is written in a sticky, red-ish ink. It is titled: A Tale of Tributes to Armok.
Chapter One
Zanyok was born as one of the Elven Kin. It was discovered he had a lesser connection with nature, but was still agile enough to become one of the Soldiers. The Druids of Battle, those overseeing the soldiers, found that he wasn't as skilled as the others, and sent him to a human city, as a guard of a caravan. He was taken prisoner by the goblins, but in turn, those were slain by the humans. Thinking he had been freed from captivity, Zanyok thanked the humans. He would later learn that he was destined to become a slave in the Arena, as a Tribute to Armok. He was bought by a young boy, who was almost sixteen, known as Tom. You probably know Tom by a different name, but we shall not speak of this name yet. The slave, however began to see the young boy as a way to escape, as gladiators that have been winning enough would be freed. His first fight, however, started badly. He had to fight against a tiger. With diminishing hopes, the battle began. He was quickly slain, before being brought back to life by the Arena's magic and Armok's "grace".

I'll make a little something to reveal stuff about my manager.

Dear Thomas,
Thank you for the loan for the new gladiator in the new arena. That "weredwarf" you convinced me to help finance was the most visible of many factors leading to the old arena's downfall, and so you owe me much more than what I wasted on that gladiator. How about a side bet to start? If The Tortoise beats one of those hamsterfolk plaguing the surrounding area and which the arena has chosen as a mascot, you will be able to pay back your debt slowly, with the interest being invested in the arena. If he loses, I take the debt out of your property and hide. You owed me much before your most recent blunder, you know I will do it. Everyone who knows me knows I can.
Say hello to the wife and little Johnathan for me. How is his pottery coming along? I'd like the lizard he made, the one with the head on the tail. Give this little rock to him and let him know I carved the dragon into it personally.
Sincerely,
GWG
If you should know who I am, you do

Dear great GWG,
You suggestion is acceptable. Here is the ceramic lizard you requested. How did you know, and how much is the token worth?
Sincerely,
Thomas
Your servant and advisor

Dear Thomas,
I know the same way I always do. And the token is the boy's, don't you dare touch it.
Sincerely,
GWG

Your name isn't Thomas, Thomas is the name of the foolish advisor who suggested I invest in "Weredwarf," one of the gladiators from a less recent and less successful arena.
