It is, you have 3 points in reserve and they only cost 2 more.

Wait, so it is illegal or I only have 1 point remaining, which one?

Edit: Holy Epic Kobold Showdown!

It's legal, you still have one point.

(decided to test the two winners)
Sunforce on the left...
Eclipse on the right...
It's a fight between light and darkness.

After those three fights I put out a cave swallow and I killed that too.

I finally died from a giant eagle.

Exhibition Match - Gladiators 25-32

More leather gauntlets; there were no reserve points this time so I just removed them.

In the top of the arena it's Minotaur on Werewolf action as two pairs of the beasts face off.  NoQuarter charges at StrangeWolf and knocks the smaller creature over.  Several snaps in the whip results in severe bruises and lung damage, effectively crippling the were creature straight out of the gate. Silver is certainly the right material for this fight.

Sharkie lopes in quickly and bites Gutstabber most ironically in the gut.  The minotaur manages to stun the rabid wolf with a pair of swift blows, but the intestinal distress has left him feeling unwell.  He turns around to vomit, narrowly missing decapitation as Mountainchopper the yeti finishes slowly lumbering up to him.

In the bottom of the arena, Useless the goblin martial artist faces off against Drizzle the gremlin whipper and Firefox the kobold swordsman.  Firefox looks to repeat Eclipse the elf's masterful performance with a steel shortsword, but his inflated ego causes him to showboat long enough for Useless to latch on to him, shattering bones with each punch.  Drizzle snaps his whip into the melee a few times but does little damage to the goblin.

Gutstabber proves unable to master his body, succumbing to pain as the yeti's giant axe bites deep again and again.  Sharkie wakes in time for one last bite on Gutstabber, only to be caught in the middle as NoQuarter and the yeti finish off their opponents.  Caught between two giants, the mad Sharkie is reduced to a pump.

Useless manages finally to break Firefox's skull, dropping the lifeless body of the proud kobold to the ground.  Irritated at another lash, he turns to confront Drizzle, breaking each of his bones just as easily.

Mountainchopper raises his axe high and the air whistles with his blows, but he proves unable to strike the stinging gnat of NoQuarter.  The minotaur slowly wears at his larger opponent, bruising muscle and chipping bone with each strike until the yeti bawls and collapses, body slowly tenderized.

Useless continues to dominate Drizzle, but he has taken too long.  The victorious NoQuarter smashes in the goblin's skull with one strike, then proceeds to slowly flay Drizzle, laughing in his victory.

Winner: NoQuarter the taskmaster!

Copper Breastplate removed and Dodging lowered to level 4. You have 8 points leftover. Thank you for your quick response.

Not going to write this one up to avoid ego issues, but suffice it to say Winner: Om Nom the lover of rag dolls. Anyone else, please, feel free!  ;)

Some notes:

Apparently you can whip projectiles out of the air.
There is no such thing as Leather Gauntlets (I bumped them to Oak)
I should probably put some points into wrestling


You are supposed to use "leather gloves," not leather gauntlets.  Some leather items use different names than the metal armor items, such as "leather armor" vs "copper mail".

Also, feelin' pretty good about NoQuarter.

Steel Battleaxe (96 points)
Silver Mail Shirt (120 Total)
Proficient Axedwarf (210)
Competent Dodger (240)

Totals to exactly 240 points

Sorry for the delay... need to read through the rest of the thread too XD
