I know, it just seems absurd. Like people who have lost both of their arms still headbutting things. I feel like the blood loss would be catastrophic and would lead to weakness pretty quick..

This reminds me of when me and my friends used to play the tabletop RPG EON (made in Sweden, not sure if it's known internationally.)
That game has, instead of the normal hit point system, a system that calculates fatigue, trauma, and bloodloss, and it is fairly complex.

The first time we played we didn't quite understand how this system worked, and we ended up having battles where people would shrug off losing limbs and breaking bones. It was so fun we kept playing like that even after we learned the rules properly. :cheeky:

Urist with his zero kill count agrees. Heck he was practically MVP in the last round~ :cool:

Fuubi

THUNDERDOME LOSER
I'll have you know that Urist follows a very specific code of karmic martial arts, where true ascension can only occur through death. Your own death. Repeatedly. Over and over. In the most bloody fashion possible.

Killing someone else will add a fat minus to his karma score and as such is not desirable.

That, or he's just plain crap.

He was just warming up.

Just flexing and getting ready.

Urist McLee decides to join the fight and punches ShortName a few times. ShortName cannot land a blow against the dodgy little dwarf.
See what proper warmup and dodging excercises will do for you.

Spermy Smurf posted:

and then Urist punches his hand so hard that it explodes. In the same instant ShortName bleeds to death, and Urist is awarded the kill. Urist the kill-stealing dwarf, somehow managed to do dick all fight, but gets a kill.
Hey, everything's fair in love and arena death brawls!

Urist McLee's foot is shattered by Jakobs maul, and the dwarf rolls away crying like a little bitch.

Speaking of which, and for completely unrelated reasons, where would you more lore-knowledgable people say the Arena Challenge takes place?
I'm absolutely not asking because there will be a crossover event (or a brief cameo, judging by my luck) involving everyone's favorite MVP Urist McLee~

And by "take place" I mean, is it in some kind of afterlife or purgatory? Maybe somewhere in the space between the realms of dwarfhalla, werewolfhalla, molemanhalla, and every other -halla?

So... correct me if I'm wrong, but, in the last round, if A Tarantino Film loses to Team Laser Explosion 3-4 in kills, and Worker Cooperative loses to Plump Helmets 3-4 in kills... then we would have a three-way tie in wins and in kills??

In the unlikely event that that happens, I would like to suggest a proper battle royale for the spot.

Or just give it to A Tarantino Film because they are clearly more worthy. :agesilaus:

So... since Tarantino is out I might as well post my build. I present to you... Urist McLee!

fuubi, you are managing Urist McLee, a male Dwarf fighter.

This fighter is participating in the 1054 Armok Arena League tournament as a member of A Tarantino Film.

He has the following equipment.
Copper Helm
Leather Armor
Leather Low Boots

He has the following skills.
Level 5 Fighting (Proficient)
Level 10 Wrestling (Accomplished)
Level 10 Striking (Accomplished)
Level 4 Biting (Skilled)
Level 6 Dodging (Talented)
Level 6 Kicking (Talented)

Urist McLee has 1 points currently available to spend.

The biting and kicking points were completely useless, and I spent points on some iron (I think?) armor a while back that I sold a few fights later thinking it slowed him down, so I wasted a lot of good points...

Edit: can't spell "out"

There are five fights left to run and I'll try and post at least one fight a week from here on out. I know I have said I have been kind of busy, but I need to make the time for this. I'll also accept suggestions for gimmicks for the fights, but I make no promises I'll use them.

Nope, I got nothing. All my ideas either involve levers (which I don't know if the arena supports) or the the assumption that fighters will seek higher ground in case of, say, flooding...
