Yes, mages should be able to spend 2 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1.

Yes, mages should be able to spend 3 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1.

Yes, mages should be able to spend 3 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1, but doing this provokes a Luck roll: on a roll of 2 or less, the spell loses one Awk.

No, this is a very bad idea.

No, this is a somewhat bad idea, I have my own ideas. (Post in thread).

[Person]

Well. This is a thing that's happening.
Healing aura go. Make my escape from this room. Try and keep Avery between me and the beast to distract it.

[FallacyofUrist]

Turn Six: Not a magic tournament.

INIT
Azer(1+2=3)
Drake(1+2=3)
NO:TIEBREAKERINIT
Azer(1+2=3)
Drake(6+2=8)

Drake smiles, then tries to bite Azer's throat out!

(3vs.3+2-2=3) (hit(even, hit, odd, miss): 3) Azer leans out of the way, just barely. He can feel Drake's breath on his face.

Azer then attempts to headbutt Drake. (3vs.4+2-1=5) A similar degree of missing happens.
Azer... didn't try to escape?

Well this is awkward. Random Event(2) nope.

Bite his throat out for real this time. If he escapes, head over to drink a healing potion. Grab and chug alcohol on the way.

[DreamerGhost]

Cause halucinations, and then headbut Drake in the teeth.

[Tomasque]

((I think one of the Random Events should be that another player enters the arena!))

[conein]

((But this is a tourney. I dont actually know what that means but probably it means that there are matches so yeah that wouldn't be possible))

[Tomasque]

((Oh yah.. that would mess it all up. Maybe he could bring in someone from the waitlist to fight?))

[Whisperling]

((Oh yah.. that would mess it all up. Maybe he could bring in someone from the waitlist to fight?))

((As of now, there is no waitlist. All 12 people are in the tourney.

Maybe it would be possible to let dead players rise from their graves? That would only work after a few matches are over, but come to think of it undead players would probably fit the theme of the necromancer's tower arena perfectly.))

Turn Eleven: Inconvenient Positioning and a slightly confused Game Master.

INIT
Avery(4+1=5)
Person(1+1=2)
Weremouse(5)
Forgotten Beast(6-1=5)

... I'm beginning to think modifying my init system is a good idea. I'm open to suggestions.

REROLL
Avery(2+1=3)
Person(4+1=5)
Weremouse(6)
Forgotten Beast(1-1=0)

The weremouse is the first to act.
((As to who is closer to the forgotten beast: the weremouse came through the door, so did the forgotten beast. Avery was the first to fight the weremouse(as far as I remember), and hasn't moved a significant distance... I believe Avery is closer to the forgotten beast.))

The weremouse proceeds to slice at Person's leg! (6vs.6+1-1=6) (hit: no) Person's dodging skills prevail once again.
Person(3) almost endures the pain, but doesn't. (no action)
((willpower is not an important stat, except when it is.))

Avery notices... Luck(2) that the poison from the alcohol hasn't touched Person in any noticeable manner.
No matter. Avery(2+1=3) stumbles a bit, but manages to leap the table(now next to Person), aggravating the gutscrapes, however. Luck(4) There happens to be an armor stand on the... here's a representation of the room.

The S represents the armor stand.

The armor stand has a full set of dwarven iron armor on it.
Forgotten Beast(1) targets Avery. (1vs.3+1-1=3) Avery leans to the side and notices a wad of spittle impact the wall behind him. It sizzles.
Random Event(3) Null and void.

[Tomasque]

... I'm beginning to think modifying my init system is a good idea. I'm open to suggestions.

I don't see any problem with rolling a d6 for it, except for the frequent amount of rerolls. If there is a tie, this is the order of actions (within the tie only):

1.The player who posted first
2.The player who posted last
3.The first NPC to enter the arena
4.The second NPC to enter the arena
5.The third NPC
6.etc.

[NAV]

It seems like whenever there's a tie you're rerolling everyone. Maybe you should only reroll the people who actually tied.

[H4zardZ1]

(hit(even, hit, odd, miss))

((Coins can be used as D2, you know))

[FallacyofUrist]

It seems like whenever there's a tie you're rerolling everyone. Maybe you should only reroll the people who actually tied.

((That seems like a good idea.))

[Hiddenleafguy]

((You could make it so that on a tie the player/npc with the highest quicka including modifiers goes before players/npcs.))
Avery will run to the armor stand and begin to, rather hastily put the armor on for protection from the poison.

[FallacyofUrist]

Turn Seven: No?

INIT
Rebooting INIT... new system established.
Azer(44+20=64)
Drake(39+20=59)

Azer feels that something in the fabric of reality has shifted. It doesn't much matter, though.

A few arcane whispers and the magic floweth.
Zap(5+2=7)
Awk(3+1=4)
(no luck needed)
The hallucinations blast onto Drake. (7vs. willpower: 5) Drake Luck(2) Drake notices a poisonous viper on his shoulder. He moves to bat it off, then realizes it's a hallucination. Oops, he let Azer go.

Azer doesn't try to run, however. (4vs.6-1+2=7) ((I think next Tourney I might have to make a new body stat for melee attacks to-hit.)) Azer's aggressive heatbutt attack missed Drake, however.

Drake smiles, then makes to bite Azer's throat out. (2vs.4+2=6) This is getting ridiculous. Technically Azer has in fact escaped, so Drake(5+2=7) moves rather quickly, snagging an alcohol bottle and chugging it on the way to the chest. (now next to chest) (4+2-1=4) Drake still has time to grab the major healing potion and drink it. (6) Drake notices that his body has been cleansed of all injury.

Random Event(1)

Time passes, eh my friend?
Yes indeed. Oh? But there is something to do now.
Indeed so, my friend.
Quit calling me that.
Pity to you. Well?
Okay. Let's go.

A stillness forms over the arena. Luck(3) And here comes a pair of wyrd, magical, fireballs.
