Swordfight Reboot

[Vordak]

Anybody interested in another free for all melee brawl?

[GreivousKhan]

If we do, let's have zero magic and racial abilities please.

[Skallagrim]

And only if we can kick Rilla in his babymaker repeatedly as a special attack.

[Vordak]

Khan, i was thinking just about the same, though not entirely. Superhuman physical ability will be an okay, but nothing other than than that, in order to keep it somple. Also, unlike the previous iteration, i'll encourage the wear of full body armor.

So yeah, no kicking Rilla in the babymaker. That's magic.

[Skallagrim]

His babymaker is magic/ Holy crap....lol.

Layout more details Vordy and I may join if it appeals.

What's with you and Rilla's babymaker?

That sounds fine, as long as no one tries squeezing in super natural creatures.

Well, it may be too late to stop the Rilla line from spreading across the globe, but every little helps.

I may join, might as well keep practising the sword fighting business.

Also classic medieval sounds better than superhuman abilities, but whatever.

I was thinking about classic medival, but in the end, i decided that characters wearing plate armor would have too much of an advantage, being impervious to almost all hack & slash attacks, save for a few weapons such as pollaxes, yet also allowing enough mobility to fight on par with a lightly armored opponent.

So i decided that it's either no plate armor, or add superhuman power. Tier 2 by the Everlasting should be enough in my opinion.

That's a slight over-exaggeration, plate armour would obviously encumber you more than light armour, and it hardly made you impervious to attack. It would allow you some resistance though, which would make the fight last a little longer while also feeling a little more real and visceral than a superhuman fight. Though I doubt many people would want to encumber themselves with plate armour here, as the idea is the characters would all be relatively skilled swordsmen dueling, plate armour is designed for dealing with large numbers of average skilled fighters in a general melee where attacks and especially arrows may catch you unaware.

[Skallagrim]

You tell 'em Melon!

[Vordak]

Then classic medival it be. I may have a bit of prejudice here, so it's better that i see how this will do in the roleplay itself rather than arguing.

I figure that we have the battleground be medival too?

[MelonHead]

It could be a tourney setting. Personally I'd love to see it as the prelude (or interlude) between two large forces clashing, with their champions moving between the massed lines to duel it our for a morale advantage. Fighting on a war-torn battlefield with huge armies as backdrops would be pretty awesome.

[Vordak]

Unless anybody would preffer another battlefield, then feel free to start the thread without me and but up the description.

I won't be able to post for a day or two.
