[OOC] Arena FAQ/Advice

[Rilla]

Frequently Asked Questions!

This thread is pretty self explanatory, and then has an extra benefit.

Basically any question, or need for advice, can be asked here for the benefit of yourself or anyone else. Anyone can answer the question posed in this thread, and there may be differing answers which could lead to a beneficial debate, and perhaps conclusion.

The other part of this thread will take place in the IC area. This is where you can RP out different scenarios to get a better understanding of how something works, be it attacks or defense, interrupts or preps. These won't be actual fights and probably won't be too long.

Another part takes place in the CS AND OOC area. In short, you can post potential characters(or character ideas) if you want someone to look them over, or help you develop them.

This thread will serve as more or less what the title sounds like, a place to get answers. It differs from the Chat Thread, which serves as a Arena Discussion thread to field Arena wide additions(such as the ranking system).

Firearms and T1 by @Skallagrim

[Skallagrim]

Sticky this?

[Rilla]

I'll get someone to do it eventually. Maybe @Heyseuss.

And like lightning!

[Bartimaeus]

Its a bit frustrating how i do exactly what the formatting cheatsheet says, yet the hider button thing doesn't work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[Skallagrim]

Are you typing [hideR= whatever you want title] Text to be hidden [(/) hideR]?

I highlighted the letters

[+]

yay

[Bartimaeus]

I do this:

[hide]This creature is of humanoid stature, but its aura is so alien.[/hide]

[Skallagrim]

Read how I did it again you are missing two letters oh nvm you have the slash you are missing =

[Bartimaeus]

Oh heh thank you.
Much appreciated.

Powered refers to magic. Mostly mid tier.

[Bartimaeus]

I suck at typing.

[Skallagrim]

Don't stress it much. But do take time to familarize yourself with T1. While it is not required for every fight you're in there are many who will want to fight under that ruleset.

[Bartimaeus]

Powered refers to magic. Mostly mid tier.

@Rilla

I have no idea what the tiers are, is there a link or someplace that explain combat rulesor magic rules?
I don't know wat T1 is I'm really bad

[Rilla]

Essentually its

Normal
Powered
God

Normal is self explanatory. Basically humans and their limits.

Powered refers to magical beings, and the like. people with magical abilities, armaments, and such fit here. Its a fairly wide scale.

God is also self explanatory. Essentially, god level powers.

T1 is basically a style of fighting, concerning preparations for magic. You are more than welcome to check out the spar between me and Scr(in the Alphonse vs Anya thread), as I will be giving pointers there in T1.

[Bartimaeus]

Thank you two for your help i appreciate it.
Skalla-i got the button think.

Will do with the spar

[Bartimaeus]

Are 1v2 and stuff like that a thing??, cuz i know there's team matches.

Also item wager are like giving someone permmission to use a unique item that you made, taking it away from the original owner, or what?

[Rilla]

They can be.

Also, yes. It doesn't necessarily have to be a unique item, but most will actually try it if they do wager other than points. You won't get all the skills, but I'm assuming enough to use the weapon in question and perhaps develop your own style with it.

For instance, you could win a staff that is capable of being surrounded in flames. You won't be able to summon flames yourself, but can as far as the staff is concerned.

[Bartimaeus]

Thank you for the help.

I don't understand the question. Are you asking if player 2 can dodge player one's attack? If so unless there are circumstances limiting player 2 they certainly can dodge.
