Forums → Forum Games → Medieval Fantasy Arena: Interest Check (Rpg and Tournament Hybrid)

Yeah, I would play it, but only after early May due to busy times.

Yes i would.

I would definitely participate in a tournament, yes. Sounds like fun ^^

I am interested, @nivlac724!

Alright, before we begin we have to decide a couple things.

First, we have to decide if this will be action based or turn based. If we do turn based then skills will be created by the player.

For abilities i'm leaning toward having the players choose from set powers instead of the player making their own. Here is what I have so far.

Sword Proficiency, Polearm Proficiency, Heavy Melee Weapon Proficiency, Bow Proficiency, Crossbow Proficiency, Thrown Weapon Proficiency, Magical Weapon Proficiency, Fire Magic, Water Magic, Earth Magic, Air Magic, Lightning Magic, Ice Magic, Life Magic, Death Magic, Light Magic, Shadow Magic, Arcane Magic, Poison Magic, Offensive Runes, Supportive Runes, Defensive Runes, Mammalian Shapeshifting, Reptilian Shapeshifting, Avian Shapeshifting, Monstrous Shapeshifting, Mammalian Pets, Reptilian Pets, Avian Pets, Monstrous Pets, Berserking, Stealth, Poison, Mounting.

If you can think of any more post them here. If you think players should create their powers say that too.

Finally, for races I think I will give a list of recommended races, but players can choose any race as long as it fits the theme.

Recommended Races:

Human, Forest Elf, High Elf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Giant, Orc, Demon, Angel, Goblin, Orc, Ogre, Troll, Zombie, Skeleton, Vampire.

Edit:

I don't have skills for the example characters because I haven't decided if we will have skills.

I think this thread is invisible for me, I can only come here by searching.

Edit: nvm, it must have been on page 4 or higher because I only checked 1 to 3.

Recommended Races:

Human, Forest Elf, High Elf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Giant, Orc, Demon, Angel, Goblin, Orc, Ogre, Troll, Zombie, Skeleton, Vampire.

For abilities i'm leaning toward having the players choose from set powers instead of the player making their own. Here is what I have so far.

player sets>set powers in this kinds of fg imo. What does mounting do?

What does each proficiency do if they give no moves?

@HahiHa race effects stats, so a giant would have more health and armor then a goblin, but a goblin would have more speed.

@Loop_Stratos We'll let players create their powers then. Mounting allows you to ride your pets, although it's useless if you have no pets. Proficiency allows you to use that kind of weapon. Here is the list of weapons each proficiency allows:

Sword Proficiency

Dagger, Shotsword, Longsword, Greatsword

Polearm Proficiency

Spear, Pike, Halberd, Glaive, Lance

Heavy Melee Weapon Proficiency

Battleaxe, Warhammer, Mace, Spiked Mace, Flail, Spiked Flail, Club, Spiked Club’

Bow Proficiency

Shortbow, Longbow

Crossbow Proficiency

Light Crossbow, Heavy Crossbow

Thrown Weapon Proficiency

Throwing Knives, Throwing Axes, Shuriken

Magical Weapon Proficiency

Wand, Staff, Orb, Tome

Exotic Weapon Proficiency:

Scythe, Trident, Pitchfork, Katar, Gauntlet, Spiked Gauntlet

To All:

Alright I've players will be able to make their own powers and races. We still need to decide if we will do turn based, or action based. What do you guys think?

Yes to creating own powers. Turn Based works better with text imo.

Should there be status effects or not?

I have decided on a turn based/action based mix. You get the choice to use a skill on your turn or an action, however actions cannot be used to attack. Actions include dodging, hiding, running, etc.

Minor status effects.

I think one should be able to use a skill and do an non-offensive action in a turn.
