Dodge Chance: (Same as health)
Armor: Low (Same as health and dodge chance.)

I assume my armor is going to be heavy and my dodge chance low, along with high health. If my skills look a bit OP, then you can make them somewhat costly to use, like adding a cooldown, or making some of them easier to dodge. I tried to be as descriptive as possible and with a wide range of attacks. My 2 multi-turn skills mean I cannot stop in-between, I have to complete using them. Specifically, the flamethrower lasts a minimum of 2 turns.

I suggest, since I may be capable of flying, that landing and taking off, each cost an action. The air raid skill is a rush but it is not affected by my Furious Charge ability, since it is completed in one turn.

I used relative ranges because I don't know how exactly that will work. I suggest that, to make it easier to understand and separate between ranged and melee characters, that you use relative ranges between fighters.

Close range is the range at which you can attack with swords longswords and most melee weapons. Ranged abilities like firing arrows are useless here.
Medium range is the range at which you can attack with the largest melee weapons like greatswords, warhammers and the like. Ranged abilities can be used at this range
Long range: Only ranged abilities can be used at this range.
Very long range is where not even ranged abilities can hit the enemy target. Mostly used as a placeholder, since most action will take place in shorter ranges.

If you agree, fast characters can close distances easily and even with abilities, like shadow blending or gliding, while heavily armored and bulky chracters are slower to move around

Of course, that's just my suggestion after reading the interest check thread. @ Notify me if there must be a change in my character. Thanks xD

If i can put that many skills, i'm going to modify my character >.>

tell me max skills pls niv.

There is probably not a fixed max number of skills @Loop_Stratos . Since nothing is mentioned, I took the liberty of adding as many skills as I could think. Remember this is an arena fighting thread, so we'll have to be descriptive and find ways to counter every situation.

So go ahead and add more skills. Look to my character if you want ideas (since I've been planning this character for quite some time xD)

Sign me in. I will post a character sheet soon, just give me some time to think this over.

Good, this is growing ^^

Another thing, which I feel I may have to clarify. Some of my attacks are difficult to dodge while others are not. For example, the Flamethrower and the Daemonic Roar affect a whole area, so they mostly cannot be dodged (obviously). That is offset by other tactical disadvantages, like low damage in one case or the need to use for more than 1 turn on the other. The Blazing Meteor also affects an area, so it is harder to dodge, but not as hard as the aforementioned skills.

overhaul in way

I added cool downs for some of the stronger skills and gave a percentage chance for your skills to stun or burn. You seem ready to go but we still have to wait for some more players. I'm also taking your suggestion for the ranges.

Title: Warrior
Physical Description: 2m tall / brawny / golden hair / full beard / pale skin / black eyes / male
Race: Einherjar
—————
Equipment: Frost Battleaxe / mail worn over a gambeson / war horn
Abilities: Axe Proficiency / Frost Magic / Rune Casting / Berserk
Pets: -
Skills:
- Basic attack (melee attack with Battleaxe: high damage, slow, frost damage)
- Boar Cleaver (same as 'Basic Attack', but stronger, slower, with chance of crit. hit)
- War Horn (fear; weakens every adversary's stats)
- Berserk (greatly increases damage, speed, crit. rate and effect of 'War Horn' for a short time)
- Frost Bolt (ranged frost attack, chance to stun)
- Ice Skin (protective ice armor: higher armor, lower speed)
- Healing Rune (heals caster)
- Rune of Hel (turns caster into a Draugr for the rest of the duel: greatly increases weakness to fire/holy attacks; depletes health at each turn, but damage/speed/resistance to physical attacks correlate negatively with health (increase each turn))
—————
Health: (I give this based off of your race and other things.)
Dodge Chance: (Same as health)
Armor: Low (Same as health and dodge chance.)

Explanations and comments:
- I put the 'Basic Attack' as a skill, but I suppose it would actually be an action (standard attack)?
- In case you don't know, an Einherjar is a dead Nordic warrior that trains in Valhalla for the battle of Ragnarök. Hence my character focuses on health and melee damage, but is not particularly agile. A Draugr is just a kind of strong undead.
- The armor does not offer a very high protection but allows for greater freedom of movement (in case armor has any effect on stats).
- I hope the skills are OK / fair as I put them, but feel free to modify the effects to fit your system

@HahiHa Nice idea I thought the Einherjar had 2 battle axes though xD

@nivlac724 If Stat changes are possible in your system, I'd like to change one if my moves

- Daemonic Roar: Lowers every enemy Stat for a while (3 turns recommended). Does not stack.

I should also specify the range if some of my moves. The bull rush in particular is usable from any range except short but it hits immediately only in medium range. It takes 2 turns to hit if used in long range and obviously reduces the range to short in every case.

Also, the flurry move is not compatible with a charge. So it cannot possibly benefit from the furious charge ability.

Can I change Fire Spin into:

-Fire Spin(Self, counters 20-40% damage taken from melee attacks, lasts for 2 turns)

The 20-40%, you decide the most balanced.

just making sure this is still a thing, cause i honestly cannot tell.

To all: get ready! The battle starts in 2 weeks (Monday, May 16th, 2016).

@etg2002 This is still a thing, like I said before I was very busy over the weekend but I should be much more active.
