Dwarf Fortress Arena Deathmatch!!!

This is a gladiator-type deathmatch where each player creates a dwarf and pits their character in the arena mode with 3 other players' dwarves. 4 dwarves enter, one dwarf leaves.

Each Player may customize their dwarf by giving it skills and equipment. Each skill and piece of equipment costs a certain amount of points. You start out with 500 points. Your dwarf may only have 2 items equipped in his or her hand.

(Note: This is taken from the embark points except for axes. Axes are really expensive on embark probably because they can chop down trees, so I cut their price in half)

Once 4 gladiators are made, they will fight to the death in arena mode with the winner getting a point bonus for each enemy defeated (more on that later) and will participate in the next battle (with revised equipment if wanted and all injuries healed) If a dwarf manages to win 5 battles, they will become the champion and get their name in the hall of fame. Any other dwarf that wins 5 matches will face off against the champion for the position. If your dwarf dies, feel free to make another one!

Bonus points will be determined by how many wins each combatant has. A 0 win dwarf will get more points for killing a 3 win dwarf than the 3 win dwarf would by killing the 0 win dwarf. Points are awarded for each dwarf defeated The details are as follows.

actually sounds cool. I would play

[Elagn]

This does sound like and interesting idea. It would be interesting to see what type of combat/weapon comes out on top after a while in the arena.

[origamiscienceguy]

Got the finer details worked out, editing the OP now.

[origamiscienceguy]

This game is now open! Accepting character sheets.

How much for a steel dagger?


Name:

Fath Goldsails, female dwarf

Equipment:

1 Bronze Dagger

(priceless)


Skills:

Master Knife user
Master Dodger
Master Fighter

(378)


"Like the warm breeze rushing out from a newly opened caldera, the fighting style of Fath Goldsails was a pleasure to experience. She has but a knife and will to use it. She closes in quickly and efficiently to the slow, armor-bearing opponents who faced her - giving them all gushing smiles for the rest of their time in this world."

Sounds interesting.

I can't give daggers in arena mode. Please select from the list.

[Salmeuk]

That's . . .odd. Like you won't give them or you can't?

I certainly can, in fact I just did! Are you using an older version, perhaps?

[origamiscienceguy]

I meant embark, not arena mode. I am basing all of the points on the embark costs. For my sanity's sake, please just chose equipment from the list.

Rith
Female
Equipment:  Copper Spear (36), Copper Shield (54), Copper Helm (24)
Skills:  Skilled Spearman (26), Legendary Shield User (180), Legendary Dodger (180)

Fight Number One: Pregame Breakdown

Contestants:

Rith: Female acrobat (gonna be really hard to hit)
Equipment: Copper Spear, Copper Shield, and copper helm.
Skills: Skilled Spearman, Legendary Shield user, Legendary Dodger.

Fath: Female Jack of all trades (best of all worlds)
Equipment: Bronze Spear, wooden shield (By my math, a wooden shield would be worth about 12-ish. Next time, please abide completely by the list, but I'll make an exception this time. The reason wooden shield wasn't on the list is because there isn't a set embark cost for it.)
Skills: Master Speardwarf, Master Dodger, Master Fighter

Elagn: Male Ninja (master at dodging and swordplay)
Equipment: 2 bronze swords
Skills: Legendary Dodger, Legendary Swordsman.


Thantos: Male Tank (takes loads of damage while dishing out much in return.)
Equipment: Bronze War Axe, Copper Shield, Bronze helm, bronze breastplate.
Skills: Master Axeman, Professional Dodger, Adequate shield user, novice armor user.

[Elagn]

I would like to make a contestant, but does it have to be a Dwarf? I would like to be a Tree-Hugging Elf. If that's not acceptable, then Ill take a dwarf, same things either way:Named Elagn, Male, Legendary Dodger(180) and Swordsman(180) with 2 bronze short-swords(70 each).

[origamiscienceguy]

Elves are not worthy of performing for the great god Armok. They deserve to be mercilessly slaughtered, not die honorably in battle.

In other words, only dwarves allowed. But you are in. 0 points left over.
