Announcing The Grand Tournament!

[*Mick64]

///I'm considering running more categories one after another... putting bottom of the barrel Strength builds against Eldritch Knights who now have Tenser's and overpowering summons with Bigby or HiPSers who can attack and disappear before the low initiative enemy can hit back is so hilariously unfair that there's literally nothing to prove there.

(( Actually a well built and prepared fighter would f*** up a wizard assuming both start unbuffed, and you consider Etherealness to be leaving the arena (Which it is, since you're going to another plane) ))

[*R0ninknight]

"Etherealness? I mean, I'm no Gatecrasher but I'm pretty sure the Ethereal Plane is outside the arena, even if it might look similar on the other side. I also wonder about a summons before the match starts but never again after, since the new summons -started- from outside the arena? Wouldn't that be like the crowd throwing rocks at the one they didn't like? Whew... I'm glad its not me organizing these things."

Keen eyed cutters would notice that roughly all of the old posters were teared down overnight, and replaced.

"Regarding the announced Tournament...

Due to popular demand, we will also conduct additional tournaments for sneaks, spellweavers and warriors of faith. If you would consider yourself an experienced blood in one of these categories and would gladly lend a hand in exchange for some hefty compensation, please contact Ra'zeth at the Armory.

For everyone else, the event(s) are now delayed by one week. The locale remains unchange, namely Ysgard, a few hundred yards from the portal. Visiting the event is free of cost, participating in any one of the tournament categories is 3,000 gold.

We are also hiring any healer who'd help make sure everyone is returned in one piece. Food, drinks and compensation guaranteed.

Merchants are welcome, but a percentage of their profit will go to the event organizers."

//Now, if anyone who's better with those character archetypes wants to run that part of the event and make up proper rulesets for them, just let me or Sunshine know. :P That way we can actually get more people involved in the fun instead of posting how we're not going cause 'reasons'.

The reason I tried to make a set of rules that would be considered decently fair or at last enjoyable instead of abusing of things that classes do not offer while races do (and if we go check with the rules I was suggesting I was crippling my main character build down to half effectiveness just to get more players join the event), but I'm no skilled PvPer when down to NWN2 so.... I'll let others suggest rules that can be considered fair.

[*Devil's Elysium]

\\ I should clarify my background includes (surprise!) lot of PvP servers, so my expectations are probably totally inappropriate for enjoyable competition in this setting. That said, I think all restrictions should be totally IC. It's more fun that way! Still expect to remain a watcher, but intrigue is nice.

\\ Topically relevant edit:

Moras has repeatedly denied allegations that he will be selling anything at the Tournament, thereby confirming, in the eyes of most keener sods, that he'll turn up.

[*Born2BeWild]

Count me in.

//OOC i am lvl 30, gonna try myself in all tourneys if we separate them to casters/sneakers etc.

[*Sunshine]

(( Short update: Will probably not be around this Sunday as family is visiting. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Short Question: who is participating in what tourneys? Have you guys agreed upon what is run and who fights where? ))

[*Mander]

The Gray Vizier signs up for the spellcasting tournament, representing the Athar.

[*Sunshine]

A Half Giant in gold and green scale mail approaches Ra, an axe and a two handed sword carried on his back. His skull is shaven but his blonde beard thick and lush, braided into elaborate patterns.

"I am Ylwart and I was sent as an envoy. My people is honoured to host your tournament- so lets talk about the details.

We offer..."

And here comes a list of things like barrels of mead, ale and wine, food of many kinds, tents and benches and even healing supplies.

"What kind of contests will you host? Who are the participants? Add them to this list."

[*Tomekk]

Grins at the giants unexpected arrival, quickly preparing what gold he still had lying around as compensation.

"Glad you came... lets get down to business...."

And after a lengthy discussion of how many visitors can be expected and what would make them not regret it, a list was handed over.

"We'll have proper bashers, sneaky gits and spellweavers in separate fights. Then at the end, a free for all... maybe. You lads should join in, it will be a hell of an afternoon, ehh?"
