You get to use 600 gold total I think. You also might want to put their races in.

Spent the rest of my money properly.
Obviously heal my fighter if his health is really low and avoid hitting him with any of the mages abilities. The fighter should try to engage as many enemies as possible in melee to stop them from attacking my mage.

Yup, 600 gold total.
Anyway, mages don't hit allies. It's magic, so I don't have to explain it.

Reserved if possible.

Totally did not mean to hit quote, but this does give me a chance to throw something out here.

Can mages use/own weapons that aren't staves, but are small such as a dagger? Assuming that they cast through their hands and use a staff as a focus, it should be possible to go focus-less assuming the skill is above a certian level or just at a penalty- I'm not expecting Sanya to be any good with a dagger but it's just... better to me. Character wise.

Also, I have no idea what weapons cost. A simpler guide of starter weapon costs this, metal upgrades are +x, would be very helpful.

[lemon10]

As far as I can tell starter weapons are free (at least for the first one, I have no clue about a second), upgrades cost +100 per level per level. So upgrading from a level 2->3 would cost 300 gold (assuming starter is level 0), upgrading from a level 1->3 would cost 400 as would 3->4.

Yes, starter weapons are free. A mage with a dagger as backup weapon is allowed, but unless it's upgraded, beating stuff with your staff is more effective.
Also, tiers:
1:Starter
2: Bronze
3: Iron
4: Steel
However, starter is always free.

Ah, for my first fight how about 2 wolves and a direwolf.

So buying a second level spell that you are elementally aligned with costs 50 gold or 100 gold?

It costs 50. That's hopefully clear now...

[tomio175]

Reserved for fight between two wolves and a dire wolf and Lemon10's guys.

[tomio175]

Now doing Lemon10's gladiators vs Dire Wolf and two other wolves.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It started out fairly well, with Bok running up to the wolves, intending to hit the dire wolf with his axe. However, he almost fell over a low wall, causing the attack to only inflict a minor wound. The Dire Wolf sees his chance, and strikes. Luckily, the Dwarf's armor glances most of the blow. One of the normal wolves, however, sees a weak spot and hits Bok spot-on. It seems a superficial wound, and the Dwarf can continue fighting. Tok uses his flamethrower spell, dealing a bit of damage, but not much to all the wolves. The wolves are still fresh, and Bok seems to have more trouble with the wound than originally thought. The crowd, however, is going wild at the sight of blood.
The Dire Wolf and Bok seem to stare at each other for a split second, and Bok charges in. He goes for a full body hit on the wolf, and the wolf takes the blow, being severely wounded in the process. However, it retaliates with it's own attack, but the attack is blocked by Bok's Bronze shield. Another wolf sees the opportunity to flank Bok, but Bok slashes his axe at it, instantly splitting it in two near equal parts! The other wolf, however, can strike, and Bok gains another wound. With Bok bleeding severely, Tok sees the opportunity to fire a fireball, scorching the Dire Wolf. The crowd is still cheering as loud as before, but that didn't distract Bok. He hew his axe at the Dire wolf, easily killing it. However, his axe got stuck in the dead Dire Wolf. The last remaining wolf jumps onto Bok, going for a killing bite. Just in the nick of time, it is shot off by a fireball, which made it fly away for a little bit, but the wolf lands on his feet. Bok seems to be bleeding even heavier, and retreats a bit to a safer distance. While still being able to protect Tok, if need be, he wouldn't be targeted by the wolf anymore. Tok takes a slight scratch from the wolf, but then incinerates it with a well-aimed fire blast. The first official victory belongs to BOK AND TOK!
Once they are back at their personal baracks, there is a bag with 100 golden coins, delivered by the Imperial Courier Service. Inside of it is a note, reading as follows:
Well fought, young gladiators. Rest for a while, a doctor will be in your barracks soon to patch you up. You entertained the crowd well. Use this money as you desire.
-Remus Gladus, Arena Overseer.

About the one-hit kill thing at the wolves, I rolled a twenty at dodging, and if that happens, I throw a d10 to determine damage, regardless of armor etc. You rolled a ten, which is then an insta-kill.

I want a gladiator if there are any more open slots. Also, no twohanders available? If not, I don't see prices for shields.

[lemon10]

I'll be posting two eventually, probably fairly soon. Since this will get edited anyway, can you PM me the system or however you're giving that out? I'm very interested and might make my own tabletop eventually, so resources are nice.

I will certainly do so, probably within 24 hours. If not, two days, maximum.
Oh, and I found out the prices may be a bit too high. Starting gold is now six hundred.
Shields/bucklers:
Wood: 50/35
Bronze: 100/70
Iron: 200/140
Steel: 400/280
Adamantium: 800/560
Shields count as heavy, bucklers as light.

Make sure to read all the posts, since some of the information isn't in the OP.

Yup, there is at least one open slot. Oh, and with swords, you can wield them two-handed (They're the long swords). You can wield everything two-handed for increased damage.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I'll probably pull out of this. I'll stay on to see if it succumbs to the Arena Curse. And to see how many people get murderlised.

[Ishar]

Name: Ishar
Traits:
STR: 10
END: 6
AGI: 10
INT: 4
(If I understand correctly, the END: 6 costs 1 point. Also, does intelligence mean anything to a warrior, or is it a mage exclusive thing?)
Backstory:
He was a sellsword for quite a while, but then he decided that it was simpler and potentially more lucrative to voluntarily sign himself up as a gladiator. This was kind of convenient for him, as he was and still is a free man, so he can manage himself, and keep all the winnings. Aims to put together a formidable team to live a life of luxury. Kind of a selfish prick.
In battle, he favors quick movement, light armor, and a single two-handed weapon.
Class: Warrior
Weapon: Bronze sword (100) as a two-handed weapon
Equipment: Hydra leather armor (500)

I want two tigers as my first opponents. The strategy wound be dodging and counterattacking when an opening is present, since my fighter is more on the quick than on the sturdy side, so avoiding hits is important.

Another question, sorry if this came up earlier, I didn't find it: what if I want to fight another gladiator? What happens if I win, what happens if I lose?
Do stats develop naturally, or only through buying additional levels?

[Tsuchigumo550]

I finished! I'm ready to fight, I hope, coming to a total cost of 600 for two gladiators.
