Rules Section:Order of Actions:
Phase 1) Set-up
Each player states which Wizard they will Assist, and what kind of Assistance they will give. Wizards may choose not to assist anyone, and Subtle Mages do not need to state what they are doing. All players have 48 hours to get thier actions in. If a Duelist does not choose an Element during that time period, they will be assigned a Random element to attack with.
Phase 2) The Duel
The Duel will be run by me using a script I've written. I'll then do a write-up of the battle to keep things exciting.
We then start with the next duel
All Wizards will be Role-flipped upon Incapacitation or losing a duel.
Each player will decide on a Role (Listed below) and Elemental Affinity (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) at the beginning of the game. Your Role will give you certain advantages in combat or when performing assists. Your Affinity will give you bonuses and penalties in combat depending on whether or not you are using the correct element against your opponent. The rules that describe this are listed in the technical section below.
Each player will also decide on a Rune Color at the beginning of the game. This is simply for flavor, but will also help differentiate people. Please choose a color which can be used in BBCode.
Technical rules:
All Wizards start with the following stats:
10 Attack
10 Defense
20 Health
10 Speed
Each player choose an Element at the beginning of the game (Fire, Earth, Water, Air). This is your affinity. All actions used on you by other mages are effected by your affinity. You get X2 effect if they use your affinity and 1/2 effect (rounded down) if they use the opposite affinity and the base effect if they use the other two. (Fire->Water, Air->Earth).
During the duel each of the Duelists will pick an Element to attack with and will defend with their Affinity. Attacks using the Element Opposite to the defenders affinity will do double damage. Attacks using the same Element as the defender's affinity will do half damage.
Each duel will be done in rounds. At the start of each round an initiative roll will be made to see who makes the first action (so speed can be vital). The winner of the initiative will be healed, and gains a slight bonus to their Attack and Defense depending on how much they won initiative by. They then get an Attack. Periodically, the winner of initiative will also gain an extra attack. If the defender still stands they will be healed and get a counter-attack. The duel ends when either mage has 0 or fewer health remaining.
Observing mages effect the combat by casting an assist spell on one of the mages. The assist is one of the following:
Attack boost (+1 to mage's attack score)
Defense boost (+1 to mage's defense score)
Healing (restores 1 health to the mage on their initiative)
Speed boost (+1 to the mage's initiative)
When making an assist:
Using Fire grants a +1 to Attack actions
Using Earth grants a +1 to Defense actions
Using Water grants a +1 to Healing actions
Using Air grants a +1 to Speed boost actions
The Assist and what Element is used in the assist is shown to everyone.
The Attack action is resolved as Attackers total Attack +/- random(10) vs Defenders total Defense +/- random(10).
Damage is the Total attack number - the Total defense number, then doubled or halved depending on Elemental match-ups.
Before damage is dealt, Healing magic will kick in and heal 0-n points, where n is the number of healing points the mage has.
