This debate with the beast who cant think beyond it's hammer bores me. There is no point argueing with the unreasonable. We will see the result in the actual fight.
May the Force be with you. Or rather-May the knives be (stuck) in you.

Heh, aren't you going to add the explosion of Pliskin's head to your signature?

Just did now!

Well, that was annoying. I tried to see how the results in the battle between Mogwai and Crush would turn out on my own, just to get a general idea. I didn't turn off the minotaur natural skills, and as such, the battles were neither accurate or pretty. In case anyone is wondering, if a minotaur gets their natural skills in the tournament, it isn't anywhere close to a fair fight.

I believe minautors are naturally expert at weapons, which is the exact skill level Crush is at right now! How do you like your odds now?!

I've removed all of the Minotaurs natural skills, and boy are there a ton, do not worry.

Shall I wait for Hodekin to respond or give the most relevant upgrades to him and go on with the semi-finals?

I had forgotten the natural skills, and with the skills I gave, the minotaur was legendary + some in hammering, and higher in other relevant skills too. THAT is why it had been overpowered

Woah! I did not think I'd survive Bax... I guessed he'd win two out of three fights or so.

Minotaurs, however. Hodekin began his gladiator life fighting against cows, and Orthus will be another head on the trophy wall. Not fighting a puny man this time, but the legendary decapitator!

It was more like 60/40 in favor of Hodekin according to the tests I ran beforehand. Good fight!

I had forgotten the natural skills, and with the skills I gave, the minotaur was legendary + some in hammering, and higher in other relevant skills too. THAT is why it had been overpowered

When the tournament first opened, I tested some races to see which ones performed well. I wondered why the minotaur was even an option until Unraveller mentioned that the natural skills were removed.

Semi Finals Match I
Orthus the Manflayer VS. Hodekin the Legendary Decapitator

Welcome back ladies and gentle, thank you for waiting! Welcome back to the peaceful meadows, where we see a bovine grazing in his natural habitat! This is one of two semi-final matches so pay close attention folks.

Orthus the Manflayer, what can be said, some people might call his need for skinning his opponents alive unsavory. I call it a healthy obsession. This 220,000 Urist beast is looking to make itself a beautiful pair of kobold hide trousers, shall we see if they come to fruition?

This whole David and Goliath trope just keeps popping up in this tourney, here we have an extremely deadly gladiator, one whose seemed to earn a new title, and rightfully so. Please welcome this 20,000 Urist kbold, Hodekin the Legendary Decapitator! This little creature is looking for a new mantle piece, and hes sized up this minotaur just for it.

Spoiler: Battle Log (click to show/hide)

Amazingly one of our most physically dominant gladiators was unable to do more than bruise this little 'bold with his weighty platinum whip! And while Hodekin was unable to remove the cow's head, at least he'll be able to keep a souvenir, a hand to be exact! Well done to the both of you!

Hodekin, if you will upgrade yourself real quick, that'd be great!

Supervene? Something extraneous? What? Souvenir?

Kobold seem like professional dismemberers to me. And it gets slightly horryfying when they mince creatures far bigger than them.
