KR Arena

[AerisDraco]

Welcome, one and all, to another thread also titled KRA. For some reason.

You have come to Coliseum of King Pellferr. The greatest coliseum of the world, and only the best heroes are invited. You have been sent an invitation, and you will not deny the chance for glory.

You have been granted 150 gold to start with.

To register, just state your current upgrades, gold count, and name.

This thread is a combination slaughter and (I guess) civ-style upgrade tree.

The tree is here:



The Main Rule
-No jumping back in time, unless you wield teleportation, timelapse, or dodge. I.E, Forumer(?) A attacks forumer B. Forumer B then replies with "No, you can't do that, because I just did this."
That is not (generally) allowed.

Turn Rules
A turn consists of 12 hours, from approximately 12 AM Uruguay time to 12 PM Uruguay time and vice versa. (7 PST, 10 EST, 3 GMT)
During a turn, each player gets 25 skill points to use.

Upgrades
Upgrades are bought using gold.
Upgrades may enable a basic attack, secondary, or passive.
YOU MUST FOLLOW THE TREE. If you don't understand, the tree basically starts in the 1st column, and to get the power you want, you must have prerequisite powers unlocked. Note: Follows the Civ:BE Tech Web style, i.e. only one prerequisite power is required, except for insta-kills, because.


Gold
Gold is the main currency.
It is found through killing enemies, players, or pickpocket.
Enemies are dropped in every 2 turns, and players who deal damage to them will receive a portion of the bounty as profit.
The amount of gold for killing players is determined by: b = (highest level power * amount of hlp) * 50 / 2, where b = bounty.

Skill Set and the Point System
So, this is the main change. The point system. Each move has a specified point value, and points determine how many moves you can make.
So if you have 30 points, you can use 3 10 point moves.
Obviously, the higher you go in the tree, the more points things tend to cost.
You can still have up to 3 basic attacks at any time, but only two insta-kills.

Attacking
Attacks come in a few types.
Basic- One must always be equipped. No cooldown.
Secondary- Generally has a cooldown, may have a status effect.
Special- Support move.
Passive- It's a passive. You can have up to 10 active at any one time.
Innate- Doesn't count for point values.

Now, onwards to the tech tree breakdown.

Spell Mixing
There are a few rules.
1. Creating entirely new spells isn't allowed.
2. Before Combat, or BC skills, are made with one or more cooldown skills, and feature a mix of effects. Their point value is equal to their components, but their cooldown is the average. For example, Fire Nut and Cluster Bomb could be mixed to create Seed Bomb, which rains fiery seeds over the battlefield. Once a skill is mixed with another, it may not be used in another BC or IC mix until it is unmixed.
3. In Combat, or IC skills, are made by mixing one or more basic attacks, which may change or add an effect. Their point value is also equal to their components. For example, I have used a combo of my lightning and knife attacks to create Shock Stab, an electric Melee attack which may electrify opponents or cauterize wounds.
4. Mods may retract a mix if it is deemed OP or the combo makes no sense.[/quote]

[Ninja]

Whoa!I'm kinda' overwhelmed
with all this info.I need time to
think about what I want to do.

[AerisDraco]

None too surprising. It is a lot.
Which parts are the most confusing? I think I could explain them.

I'll provide an example on starting:

Name: Aeris
Gold: 50
Skill Set:
Basic:
-Knife
-Bomb

[Ninja]

None too surprising. It is a lot.
Which parts are the most confusing? I think I could explain them.

I think I get it now.But I still have
a couple of questions:
Are we allowed to back-track
on the tree and get two different
upgrades that are side-by-side?
(i.e.Are we allowed to get both
Counter-attack and Pickpocket once
on the 150 GP upgrade tier?)
Also,how do chances work in this game?
(i.e.Sneak-attack has a small instakill
chance.Also,does something like Sneak-
attack with a kill chance count as your
allowed instakill?)

[AerisDraco]

Yes, of course.

For chances, most likely I'll use random.org, and then PM a player if their tiny chance worked.

[Ninja]

Yes, of course.

I have one more question;look
in the above comment to find it.

EDIT:
What is the tiny chance of instakill
possessed by Sneak-attack?

[The Kingmaker]

Please please please pretty please can there be a way to get to a nearby power without using the tree, because while I like the tech tree and understand how long it must have taken, in places it is a little limiting.

Also does each power have it's own premade stuff or is it open to interpretation? Can we use multiple starting paths and combine them, or simply focus on one chain?

(Does greatsword also mean sword, or does your character simply gain muscles to use a greatsword and shield together.

[AerisDraco]

@Ninja: The insta-kill chances are most likely as follows. (Tell me if I should tweak the numbers)
Sneak Attack: 1/30
Snipe: 2/5
Crimson Sentence: 1/15

@Kingmaker:
Sorry, but I'm not sure I want to. But, do tell, what areas of the tree are limiting? I know that some parts are just cobbled, because I couldn't find room , but still, what areas are troublesome? I'll do my best to correct them.

The powers have premade stuff, but you can edit them, as long as they preform the same function. For example, if you have an Arcane Sentinel, but like mechanical things, you could make a mechanical Sentinel.

And the greatsword is just a large sword, probably midway between the paladin's and templar's swords.

[Ninja]

I think 1/30 is too low.(Sneak-attack)
How about 3/30?

[AerisDraco]

I guess that's good.

[Big Bad Bug]

I think 1/30 is too low.(Sneak-attack)
How about 3/30?

You mean 1/10?

I will try to play along, but I don't know what my setup will be yet.

[Ninja]

I think 1/30 is too low.(Sneak-attack)
How about 3/30?

You mean 1/10?

Yeah.Saying 3/30
is just as correct as
saying 1/10.

[RZRider]

Exept it is not simplified when it could be

[Ninja]

To RZ:
No-one said it had to be simplified.
It could also be non-simplified,which
it is.Also,simplifying it would take
just as long to type,so there's no point.
Again,3/30 is the same as 1/10;so it
doesn't matter which one you
write.

To Aeris:

Also,does something like Sneak-
attack with a kill chance count as your
allowed instakill?

[AerisDraco]

Yes. There are only 6 IK's after all. 2 per game.

[The Kingmaker]

@Kingmaker:
Sorry, but I'm not sure I want to. But, do tell, what areas of the tree are limiting? I know that some parts are just cobbled, because I couldn't find room , but still, what areas are troublesome? I'll do my best to correct them.

Just that the whole Assassin's path just ends entirely with sneak attack. A link to Moar axes would give interesting results, even if it was less good as a true assassin RP, or that if I don't want a specific power (for instance Consecutive Boost) my entire power line stumbles and falls, just things for far into the future.

And I haven't found anything to RP as yet was my main complaint about the tree.

Actually, I've found an RP now.

[AerisDraco]

As I am not completely caught with online lingo, RP is roleplay, right?
Perhaps I could add a reward to following the assassin's tree. Perhaps a skip (the only skip) to Blade Dance?

[Ninja]

I think it should be a skip to a
50/50 chance between Poison
& Tranq. Dart effects.
It would be cool if the Assassins put
different poisons on their knives.

[Big Bad Bug]

How about a 10G discount for each consecutive power in a branch, making the path to certain abilities a little easier?

[Ninja]

Does a barrage perform 10 attacks,
like how it works for the maxed
Crossbow Forts in KRF?If so,it's OP,
but awesome like Barrage in KRF.

EDIT:Wait a minute,Aeris.
Why does your character
have only 50 GP's to start
with?Do basic attacks cost
gold or was it just a typo?

DOUBLE EDIT:Nvm about the
EDIT.I get it now.*facepalm*
