Wow, I love this and am sad I missed its existence until this year!
I'm not sure if this is an unstated rule (or a stated rule that I missed), but are you allowed to enter more than one gladiator?

I would like to submit 10 kobolds in a trenchcoat as my competitor, thank you

Your build is approved with 5 points remaining!
Only 1 gladiator per person is allowed, however. That way we give as many different people as possible the chance to compete :>

Very understandable! I thought that would be the case, but figured I'd get clarification before shelving my other idea. :)

Here goes!

Name: Butcher Bart
Race: Human (210 points)

Skills:
  • Competent Discipline (18)
  • Skilled Knife User (50)

Equipment:
  • Steel Carving Fork (56)
  • Steel Carving Knife (56)
  • Human Leather Low Boots (4)
  • Human Leather Gloves (4)
  • Human Leather Face Veil (5)
  • Human Leather Head Veil (5)
  • Human Leather Armor (12)
  • Wool tunic and braies, for panache (0)
UNSPENT: 0 point

Backstory: Born in the haunted hallows of Fairyfarts, Bartholomew "Bart" Salazar Ernest Worrell Dinklebrugh Harkens Crumblord III (stage name Butcher Bart) lived with the levy, hacking to bits the undead invaders from the mystical wilderness beyond his hamlet. Indeed, in the camp kitchen, Bart would thriftily skimp out on meat costs by making use of the still ferocious zombie leftovers from the most recent skirmish. No secret can be kept forever, though, and he was ousted from his position with cries of "What is wrong with you?!" and "I thought his pot roasts were great, honestly." Now, he's a gladiator.

-Carving Knives and Forks have a base cost of 14 points. If you wanted steel ones, they would cost 56 points each.
-In addition, both use the Knife User skill, so it's up to you if you want to drop the Axeman skill, and re-invest those points into something else.

In that case, I'll keep the weapons steel, drop the axeman skill, and instead go for skilled knife user and competent discipline, bringing my unspent points to a clean 0. I'll update my post to reflect

My first tournament! It's a really cool idea

Name: Clunk the Hunk

Race: Gremlin (+310)


Equipment:
Iron High Boots (-20)
Iron Gauntlets (-16)
Iron Helm (-24)
Iron Breastplate (-40)
Iron Greaves (-36)
Iron Scimitar (-40)

Skills:
Adequate Discipline (-9)
Adequate Fighter (-9)
Competent Dodger (-30)
Competent Swordsman (-30)
Adept Armor User (-56)

SPENT: 310
LEFTOVER: 0


Backstory:

Clunk the Hunk got his name due to his muscular appearance and the suit of armor he wears around that makes him loudly clunk as he hobbles around almost completely covered by the armor. Standing out from a young age he wanted to fight head on rather than sneak around other settlements like the other gremlins, and after he nearly took on an entire dwarf squad he was caught in a cage trap. Unable to escape he was incorporated into the dwarven fortress as a member of their military where he commissioned a special set of armor from a blacksmith, after acquiring this however he could not pay the blacksmith back and ran away attempting to make the money to re-enter his dwarven home, he hopes that by winning the gladiator tournament he will be able to accomplish his goal and live a calm, violent life back at home.

However, 56 points into Armor User raises the skill to Adept, not Skilled. Your current build's cost works, so just let us know if you actually wanted Skilled Armor User instead of Adept.

Unfortunately skilled dodger is 50 points, which puts you over your 100 point limit. Please adjust your points however you would like to be legal, and then we can approve your gladiator.

Stimraug, Armadillo Man

Exiled from the great armadillo man clans of the Malevolent Mountains for not wanting
to take up arms in a war he saw unjust, declared on a nearby peaceful hoary marmot man
clan, Stimraug only wished to hone his skills on inanimate objects and falling rain
drops (a rain drop to an armadillo man feels very cold when it gets below the shell).
He has something to prove now and to be accepted back into his clan again. Stimraug
thus set out to take part in a gladiator tournament he had heard of with only his
favourite dagger wit him.


Equipment
Large iron dagger

Skills
Novice Fighter
Talented knife user
Talented dodger

Points spent: 245
