Gladiadors I salute you (The OOC Suggestions)

[DM_Absolution]

// Yes, it includes PvP if the current champion is a PC
//I have not given much thought about Permadeath strikes, but if this is something the players want to make it more interesting, then i am all for it. But that is something the players should discuss. (Between the challenger and the champion and or champion team, if it is team vs team)

[DM_Absolution]

// Let me clarify, this is almost purely PvE, the challenger will fight beasts and monsters that the "Master of the Pit" will summon. -Only- when a challenger has advanced far enough to challenge the Champion is there a possibility for PvP.(Same goes for the team challenge obviously) IF the champion is a PC, but for the moment it is a NPC.
//Also i removed the rule about loosing your items, seeing as this is would be far too problematic.

///Most gladiator type history you all wear gear (basic armor) and weapons which all the contestants choose from the arena armory, so as you pretty much have fairness or equality of the contestants. Will this be the case or are you allowed personal gear?

///I would be most interested in starting a new lvl 1 gladiator type PC, would wear possibly light or no armor, or if heavier, basic garish style armor, breastplates, banded mail and such, fighting with a range of gladiator type weapons - if anyone is interested in this give me a shout and we can spar - train to get things ready for the Pit

[DM_Absolution]

//Excellent idea from TalonofWindspeak, the contestants in the pit will be handed basic armor/weapons etc before entering the pit. (Such as Armor, shield, helm, boots) Anything that can be altered via the appearance changer, and also allowing the PC to get just the "look" he wants. No one will be allowed to use ANY items besides what they are given by the Master of the Pit.

I'll do it!

// Love this idea! Selection of basic weapon types, armor and the like will really help to balance things out.

[DM_Absolution]

//Betting amongst the spectators are of course common practice, and encouraged, but do know that if things get out of control and aggression ensues, then you will be tossed out by the guards and you will also be banned to enter the pits for 10 days. (As a spectator OR challenger)
