Voxnar see Kleist's leg.  Kleist leg ugly, have cankle, offend Voxnar.  Voxnar smash and smash and bite.  Kleist move no more.  Voxnar smash skull to make sure.  Happy at result.  Take big bronze hammer, Kleist need no more.

Gain hammer smash skill, too.  No need silly dodge or shield, ha!

Profile prior to combat and bets
Name: Voxnar
Race: Human
Gender: M
Skill: 6 Hammer
Items: 1 Iron War Hammer, 1 Iron Chainmail, 1 Iron Helm, 2 Iron High Boots, 1 iron gauntlet (left)

Profile following to combat and bets
Name: Voxnar
Race: Human
Gender: M
Skill: 7 Hammer
Items: 1 Bronze War Hammer, 1 Iron War Hammer, 1 Iron Chainmail, 2 Iron Helm, 2 Iron High Boots, 1 Iron Gauntlet (left), 1 Iron Greaves


So assuming that the following is correct (sorry, I wasn't really following along closely until I hit the jackpot):

Okay last fight to come Immediately After this but now have the very tentative metal progression + new item creation sheet.

The metal's will go like this,  Copper->Iron->Bronze->Steel->Faerie Silver*->Shadowsteel*->Adamantium

Each tier is 10% Increase in quality, while it does makes for more humdrum breaks it also eliminates the massive gaps between the metals that made it very difficult to offer non-generic equipment.

Also possible change to the system, need feedback on, is whether you can get anything other than iron on character generation. If this were to be implemented you would get 10 points to spend on items, and the material of the item dictates how much it costs.

So say Copper costs 1, iron 2, Bronze 3, Steel 5, Faerie Silver* 7, Shadowsteel* 10, Adamantium 15.

You can go with the standard 5 iron, or you can downgrade a little and grab a full suit of armor at the cost of it being slightly lower quality, or go all out offensive and grab a Shadowsteel Great axe and nothing else. Also if this were implemented you would have the option to reject any item from your opponent's corpse and convert their best item into points at half the point value of the original item. (Minimum 2)

If an experienced character wished to upgrade their Arms or Armor because they had filled all of their armor slots they would PM me with what they wanted and I'd update them.     

*Custom alloys of silver-diamond and steel-slade respectively.

I now have 19 points worth of gear, correct?  Are these points fully exchangeable?  For example, could I exchange an iron war hammer (2), iron helm (2), and iron greaves (2) for a piece of steel gear (5) and a piece of copper gear (1)?

Hmm, maybe.  It would be cool to see the actual stats and such for the different materials- I don't know if they're from a particular mod, custom-made for this game, or what.

Hmm, maybe.  It would be cool to see the actual stats and such for the different materials- I don't know if they're from a particular mod, custom-made for this game, or what.

I custom tweaked all the metals used in the arena so that each metal is 10% better than the proceeding metal on the quality chart, Iron was used as base quality.



Okay last fight to come Immediately After this but now have the very tentative metal progression + new item creation sheet.

The metal's will go like this,  Copper->Iron->Bronze->Steel->Faerie Silver*->Shadowsteel*->Adamantium

Yes, all of your base gear can be exchanged at full price. That may change but so far that's the way it goes.

I am curious as to how the hell you arrive at the Conclusion that Voxnar gets the greaves that I bet on a Remalle Vs Kzel Match. For that matter how is Voxnar getting anything from Kzel getting killed by Remalle? Kzel III should be getting the helm and the greaves since he won the wager.

Until then all the gear transference is being put on hold.

Alright Our last match today, we will be testing something new so be ready.

Jmod, He stabs, he dodges, he impales various people for no good reason. A Dwarf by anyone's regard.

Vs.

Ragathgare, a tigerman of surpassing fury, he has been known to bite the ears from his foe's head.



Ragathgare the former gnome has made quite a name for himself since his death, before he died he was small, weak, and relatively slow. Now though he has the strength and temper to beat someone to death with his shield after losing the use of his arm. Jmod is a speardwarf who gained fame for being able to cut parts of someone's body of using only a spear, no mean feet.  The two meet in the arena, facing off in a standard deathmatch.
 


Ragathgare gets the first strike in and cuts off Jmod's foot, Jmod is staggered backwards giving Ragathgare time to launch a second chop. Jmod's greaves save him from a seriously uncomfortable leg wound, and the glancing blow smashing Jmod's finger apart. As Jmod recovers Ragathgare opens up his left arm with his axe, causing Jmod to lose hold of his shield. Jmod Isn't one to go done without at least giving semblance of a fight and so he makes a pair of lightning stabs, the first cuts off one of Ragathgare's fingers but the second strikes out towards Ragathgares left arm. The spear however fouls in Ragathgares cloak reducing the wound to a small cut and perhaps dooming Jmod.



Ragathgare slashes into Jmod's spear arm splintering the bone, Jmods spear drops from the lifeless member. From there it is merely a question of how much blood Ragathgare can get out of Jmod... As expected Jmod bleeds out after suffering multiple severe lacerations, but at least he managed to die without vomiting all over the arena. Ragathgare appears to be restraining himself from devouring the corpse, but only just.



Well done Ragathgare, we all admire you self restraint. You didn't bite your opponent once, train up and choose you reward. You in particular as the last of the Reborn will need it.

Since I received confirmation that this is indeed the case, I will make the following transfers:

1 iron war hammer (2) + 2 iron helm (4) + 1 iron chainmail (2) [8] exchanged for 1 steel chainmail (5) and 1 bronze helm (3) [8]
1 iron greaves (2) exchanged for 1 iron gauntlet (2)

what. Oh I'm stupid.

thank you for double-checking. It was late. :-[

****

Okay then this is how I will be doing the bets.
PLAYER-PLAYER: not happening any more due to difficulties in me figuring out who the hell gets what in which match.

3RD-PARTY:
 - 2 choices: the ones who got it right get it all, split up. in case of tie/indecision I will judge and send half the value forward.
 - multiple choices: the ones who got it right get it all, split up. in case of tie/indecision no equipment is transferred.

Who gets what doesn't really matter as you can (now) trade stuff in, but I will "weigh" payoffs to bets, i.e. whoever bet more stuff gets more stuff if (s)he wins.

If all players go to 1 side, I basically take the other side. If this happens, and they win, I will give each a leather item (from my own stuff, or a "treasury" if Draignean allows it). If they lose, they give me 1 leather thing.
