So if there was an event, say a small to medium sized combat tournament in Adela, who would be interested in participating? I'd only post the thread if I can get a number of people to join up.
I was thinking there'd be two main events, a magic one and a sword one. The magic one would be simple, use non-lehal magic to force your opponent out of the ring. If you use magic judged lethal by the judge, you will be disqualified.
In the sword tournament you just fight it out with wooden swords. Every solid hit you take is a point for your opponent; every time your sword hits the ground, and is out of your hand, is a point; and every time you're forced out of the ring is a point. If a point is scored the judge will stop combat and reset both fighters (the player can control the judge as an NPC and judge their own getting hit or otherwise scored upon. If you knock your opponent unconscious, kill them, or are brutal to an unwarranted degree, you will be disqualified. If you're knocked unconscious or severely wounded you will also be disqualified, for your own safety. So you win by scoring five points, or by forcing your opponent to surrender.
Post here if you're interested, and post the character you'd like to RP with. I have no problem with people participating in both arenas of the tournament (with different characters). And post if you have any problems or if you spot something in the rules that you think might need to be addressed.
