Long-time lurker, first-time poster, here's to hoping my guy doesn’t get pulped immediately o/

Frunkus - Leopard gecko man (260)
Spoiler: Image (click to show/hide)

Skills:
  • Adequate Fighter (9)
  • Competent Knife-User (30)
  • Skilled Armor-User (20)
  • Novice Dodger (5)
  • Adequate Shield-User (12)
  • Competent Discipline (18)
Equipment:
  • Steel Helm (48)
  • Iron Breastplate (40)
  • Copper Mail Shirt (30)
  • Bronze Gauntlets (16)
  • Large Bronze Dagger (32)
  • Cave Spider Silk Robe, Trousers (0)
(Should be 0 points remaining)

Raised by kobolds, Frunkus (“Kas”) has always been a big, square fish in a little, round pond. Once a mere sentry, he killed an elven scourge to kobold-kind and caught the eye of a local hamlet for doing so. Kas had never been much of a fighter in the first place, but the culture of the outside world intrigued him – particularly this thing called “music,” a thing kobold culture neither has nor is interested in. Enchanted with the idea of musical performance art, Kas has been physically training to play the biggest instrument he possibly can ever since. A gladiator tournament sounds like a lovely way to get in some training and practice! (He is woefully out of his league as he has never seen an animal larger than a horse and has no idea that animals can even get that big. He is not fully aware of what a gladiator tournament entails but will gleefully march to his doom anyways.)

i already entered a guy but i am curious if blood men/other elementmen would be allowed to compete

I checked that one out myself. Aside from the stuff already mentioned, it's a bad idea to use creatures composed of non-solid materials as it doesn't take very much to kill them.

Ozordur - Tick man (260)

Skills:

    Competent Lasher (36)
    Novice Armor-User (2)
    Novice Dodger (5)
    Novice Shield-User (4)

Equipment:

    Iron Helm (24)
    Iron Mail Shirt (48)
    Copper Gauntlets (10)
    Wood Shield (45)
    Silver Whip (84)

Total : 258

Ozordur was a former foreman in a copper mine. He kept with him his copper shield, "offered" by the kobolds who "worked" for him. Quick to draw the whip, his blood ran cold when he learned of the launch of a gladiatorial tournament. He hopes to demonstrate the true power of this weapon so despised by dwarves, whose tip he moves with such skill. If he loses the tournament, he plans to become a musician. Probably in the brass section.

Sorry no talent for art, unless you accept Midjourney Tick-men ? :)

Ozordur - Tick man (260)

Just wanted to double check something.
-Silver Whips are 84 points, not 56.
-however, Bronze and Iron Whips are 56 points, as both metals have a X2 cost modifier. (2x the base cost of 28 = 56)

Would you like to purchase a Bronze or Iron Whip for 56 points, or would you rather revise your build to allow for a Silver Whip?

Somehow Madame Spots has allowed her silly husband to talk her into participating in this tournament rather than hunting sweet, delicious deer.

Name: Madame Spots

Approved with 6 points remaining.
Just a note however, Competent Striker is 24 points, not 12. 12 points gets you Adequate Striker.
Still, the math you have at the moment checks out, so you're approved with Adequate Striker instead of Competent. Let us know if you want to revise your build though!

Aww yeah! Here's my entry for the tournament  :D

Name - Cackling Jack
Species - Hyena Man

210 point budget
Competent Fighter – 18 points
Competent Dodger –  30 points
Competent Swordsman – 30 points
Adequate Armor User - 6
Adequate Biter – 12
Adequate Discipline - 9
Jabberer Leather Armor – 12 points
Iron 2-H Sword – 56 points
Iron Helm – 24 points
Copper Gauntlets – 10 points
-   207 spent, 3 left

Lore – Cackling Jack hails from the Glowing Marshes, where he served for many years as the faithful lackey of the necromancer Muthro the Terrible. Jack beheaded Muthro, tired of being called a “gnoll” by his master and irked by the constant comparisons to grassy hills. A murderous maniac, he has since offered his services as a mercenary, bounty hunter and arena fighter, and he always refuses payment. To Jack, violence is a means to its own end, and the meaning of life can be summed up in five words; bloodshed served with a smile.

For arena testing, do I need to spawn with 2 boots/gloves or will 1 be considered a pair?

Far as I can tell you have to spawn two for it to be a pair.

I am ambushed by humans, and for a change, they do not drop dead immediately. I bash the master with my ladle, and he is propelled away. While in mid-air, he dies of old age.
