Welcome to Gaia! ::

New Battle System:
Out of fairness I was forced to enlist a new Battle
system. Though I am not quite sure how everyone will
react to this…. And though I know a few of you will
have a problem with having a battle system. It needed
to be done.. I’m sorry if it upsets you and you decide
to leave but this way everything is fair.


* Also please note that this is just a rough outline
of how it will work. The battle system will be tweaked
as we need to be to fit how we do things here in SQ!….
heh. So if you see any flaws in the system feel free
to help me out. By Pming me …. Thanks.*


Reason(s) behind the new battle system:
1.) The battles are taking to long to complete.
2.) The increasing amount of you can’t do that posts.
3.) Undecided battles. (Where both fighters have valid
points as to why they won a battle.)

Rules of the new battle system
1.) Each Quester starts out with (1) 6 sided dice.
(Until levels are gained.)
2.) No one is allowed to post in battles unless you’re
in it.(aside from myself)
3.) There will be no complaining about the out come of
each battle. (You can call it luck of the roll or what
have you but a Win is a win.. and a loss is a loss..)
4.) You only get 1 dice per post after the first post
(well depending on your level)

Basics:
Each Fighter starts out with 1 6sided dice in which
they can choose to roll or save the dice as chant.
(Power up) but if 1 person decides to save and the
other decides to attack its and auto hit but not kill
and minimal damage. But if the person who didn’t
attack on the first round with the other they now have
a choice of using a 2 dice attack or saving up for a
bigger attack later. Where the person who attacks on
the first round is now back to only 1 dice to use as a
block or an attack. See the Example of a first round
attack followed by a 2nd round attack.

Example:
*Kuni holds the hilt of his sword
pre-pairing himself for battle by closing his eyes as
his aura begins to encircle him* (Saved 1
dice)

*Shosami grabs her dagger and launches it
at Kuni’s chest. * (uses 1 dice attack)

*Kuni unable to fully dodge the dagger as
it hits his chest but the blade of the dagger barely
cuts his skin, Kuni shoots an Ice orb at Shosami
* (uses a 2 dice attack)

*Shosami see’s the Ice orb flying at her
she uses her Fire burst attack to block the Ice orb *
(Uses a 1 dice block)

* Note even though Shosami only has 1 dice if she
rolls a higher total then Kuni did on his roll then
her block would have stopped the attack even though it
wasn’t a chanted attack/block. Though if Kuni had
rolled higher then shosami he would have had hit her
with a normal attack. Also Kuni could have used one of
his dice as a block then attacked when shosami was
wide open he went for a less powerful attack*

To do the 1 block 1 attack hit the dice are chosen by
the way you post so if you said I block your attack
and use the Graceful blade of the Elf to attack your
left side. It would have been that the first dice out
(the one on the left ) would be your block number and
the one on the right would be your attack number.. So
as long as your block dice was high enough to block
the other fighter’s attack you are able to block then
attack. Otherwise your attack is done with out dealing
any damage and you are both back down to 1 dice each.

((Max dice is 20. 10 attack 10 block) Which if you can
save your dice until that round you will pretty much
pwned the other person as long as your total dice
value is higher then his/hers.))

Now some of you are probly thinking well then All if
have to do is post “I attack you with fire” or “I use
a Magic barrier to block” that’s fine but I will be
watching this battles and base on style, length, and
complexity of the posts I will be increasing the
number of dice you can start with. So please pay some
attention to the detail in the description of what you
did in your posts. (note you must stay with in 2 level
of the person your battling so if you are a level 4
you aren’t allowed to attack anyone lower then level 1
below you unless they attack you first that is. So if
a level 2 challenges a level 4 to a spar and wins it
auto levels the level 2 player to a level 3.)

i just think this is a distaster waiting to happen. a battle should be determined by skill not luck. even though luck is a factor, it shouldn't dependant on it.
