[Person]

You are a spirit trapped inside a piece of headgear. You can only interact through those that wear you.

Spoiler: Wot? (click to show/hide)

This is a system test for something. Its an arena because combat is definitely going to be involved at some point, so yeah. You have magic. Unfortunately, you need a body in order to be able to cast it.
What if my body dies?: Find a new one. Unlikely given the setting. I... might release some wild animals into the arena if it amuses me at the time. That would be your chance. Or, you could just share a body with someone else.
Did you steal this from mastahcheese?: Eh. I actually had the concept in the works for longer. I made sure they're fine with me running it though. I do thank them for reminding me of the idea, and giving me help with rules and such.

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

Fill this out.
Name: This is the name of you personally. Hats may take many vessels and use their names, but this is their true name. If you don't fill this in, I'll just use your profile name.
Description: What kind of hat are you? The more durable the hat, the less magical power. Extremely durable "hats" like steel helmets are off limits entirely. These are good resources, but you can feel free to look for something else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Hats
Magic School: What type of spells do you specialize in? The broader the range of spells, the weaker they are on average.
Stats: All hats provide small stat bonuses to their vessels. Its not out of selflessness, but more that dead bodies are generally less useful than live ones.  Keep in mind that those you can ensnare are weaker than most, and would have penalties without your guidance.

Assign 6 points. A stat can have 0 points in it. Maximum initial bonus is 4. This game uses a d10 by the way, in case that helps you decide. 2 in a stat nullifies any default penalties.
Strength:
Endurance:
Dexterity:
Power: Power increases the casting ability of your vessel.

Items: Bodies start with 100 points' worth of items.
Wand: It's a magic stick to help you cast. Cost: 10
Charged Wand: Comes pre-charged with a spell of choice, but is useless after a single use. Cost varies Based on spell.
Staff: Aids spellcasting, and is good for hitting people too! Cost: 20
Knife: Useful for stabbing people, or throwing. Cost: 10
Sword: Even better than a knife, and is good for slashing too. Cost: 40
Mace: Heavy bludgeoning instrument. Cost: 40
Spear: Its a knife on a stick. Stabs people best of all things. Cost: 40
Bow: Long range weapon. Cost: 40
Arrows: Used in bow. Cost: 5 each. Reusable most of the time.
Flintlock Pistol: Long range weapon. Requires much less skill than a bow, but is slower to fire and reload. Cost: 70
Lead Bullets: Used in flintlock pistol. Cost: 5 each. Not reusable.
Wood Armor: Provides minor protection, but weighs you down. Better hope no one who wants to kill you knows fireball. Cost: 20
Copper Armor: More protective than wood, and less flammable. Weighs more though. Cost: 40
Shield: Good for helping you not die. Cost: 30
Hat strap: Tied tight below the chin to help keep you attached to your body. Looks kind of silly honestly. Cost: 20.
Generic Health Potion: Heals slightly. Cost: 20

Spoiler: Magic (click to show/hide)

The magic portion is roughly free form. Also, you can stack up to two more hats on top of yourself to claim some of their powers. If you like, you can give them partial control, which means that while the players keep sentience and have full magical power, they may have different goals than you. Also, more powerful spells may take more than 1 turn to cast, and have larger penalties.

If I feel you should change something about your sheet, I'll tell you.

Spoiler: Waitlist (click to show/hide)

I am probably only going to run one round to begin with. As such, this isn't a thing. If I want to run it again, I'll update this. High lethality is expected, so this should be fairly short anyway.

[Person]

Execute, you got 10 points left for items. Knife or wand? I'm assuming knife, since the staff is basically a wand with extra features, but I don't know for sure. Other than that, good sheets.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

I know I had 10 points left, I just didn't think I needed anything else, speaking of, if you make another round, are you going to let us have some better gear? Like a revolver being a better version of the flintlock, not because I want to be like a secret detective!

[Person]

I might potentially add more items if I do another round. Might adjust the price of the flintlock between rounds. I increased the bow and its cost a bit beforehand, but I may have gone to far with the gun. So yeah, I'm giving you a knife since I'm not sure I feel like tracking money between rounds. It fits with shadow magic well anyway.
