    [1 vs. 1 vs. 1] Three-way Battle?

    []


    Looking for 2 other players for either one of these scenarios:
    Mage vs. Knight. vs. Archer

    or

    3 Mages: Fire vs Ice vs Air
    I have a very basic combat system that we will use. It will be an HP (Hitpoints) based system and each attack will have a set amount of damage. The combat will be mostly free-form except for attack damage and things of that nature. There will be no stats or any dice rolling. As you can probably guess, the RP will be very minimalist and focused primarily on the art of combat with as few distractions as possible. I want a simple three-way battle on an High-Casual/Advanced level, although there will be no paragraph requirement. Who's interested?

    I'm all for a three way, but I'm not sure about the "hitpoints" thing. I mean, doesn't that pretty much lend itself to the necessity of a stat system?

    Attention Followers of Bunny,
    As you can see, I have kidnapped your icon, and am holding him hostage. If you wish for the safety of Bunny, then you will do as instructed, and send a predetermined amount of money to an undisclosed entity in a top secret location.

    Sincerely,

    I think this could use some more explanation particularly on the limits each class will have.

    Unless you're totally cool with the mage being able to summon a giant meteor into the arena.

    Nope.

    If you've got 2 people fighting against you, I doubt you'll be able to pull off a giant meteor. Such a skill would require immense focus, not something which you'll have much of during a 1v1v1 fight. Even IF you could hit someone with such a skill, it's not something you can spam, unless you want to be kicked for Godmodding. :P

    If you're using a numerically based system to determine how many "hits" a person can take there needs to be an equally effective measure of what constitutes a hit and a that landing one in the first place. You have to account for peoples' capacity to evade attacks or defend from them. For starters at least.

    Then do you care to elaborate all?
