TO be honest with you, I think that the challenge should probably be decided between parties. I see no reason to say, "No, you can't fight him". If a PC wants to battle another PC, and boths of them are aware and consenting, why the hell not..? I'd like to see what happens myself.
I leave the choices up to the competitors, I'm just here to moderate the fights.
Remember, it's supposed to be fun.

Yeah, I guess you're right, Japic. As long as there's consent, where's the harm?

Yeah, that works. Seems like a self-regulating system to me- players won't accept fights they can't win, unless something strange is going on.

Oh, I never knew this was here.
We can fight each other. That's cool.
We sometimes do fake battles with our PCs at home to see which one would win in a fight, cause we're always wondering, "So who do you think would win in a fight, Terra or Malachi?" Then we break out the dice. Once we did a PC battle, boys versus girls, 8 on 8. It was pretty crazy, but the girls came out on top as is the case in most situations.
But this is a good idea. It seems that not many people do it, but hey, it's out there as an option. Tag team battles would be cool, or if you want to get crazy, the WLD crew could take on the BOYD peeps or something like that. There is the problem with levels, but i think it would be neat if it ever happened.
But there is that thing with battling online. The fights seem to take forever and sometimes they can get complicated, so maybe that's why not many people get into it. but still. I never knew this was here.

It's pretty cool- but cross-time battles are nothing compared to cross-system battles. 70% Saber translates into a BAB of...what? What kind of Strength bonus does someone with Amazing Strength get?

ummmm. . .
I've given it some thought and I've used some of my renowned mathematical equasions in the process and I've come up with a +37 strength bonus.

So I saw this here, unused in my absence. This made me sad.
SO! Anyone care to take a whirl? I'm up to DM a battle here...let's have some PC strife!

Well, if K Man and Althael keep it up in the Japic's short, it will be massive minotaur versus small lizard soon enough ;D

Kieron might just answer that challenge - one on one wearing nought but our loin cloths. No armour, magic protections, spells or anything. Just our fists, feet (and horns ) and any class/racial abilities. It would be interesting to see how Kieron fares against a powerful combatant. I havent really used a monk properly before. Now might be a good time to experiment before the action really hots up in the tomb. I expect we wont just be fighting froglings in there...

I'll agree to no armor and magic protection, but I wouldn't go with the no weapons thing. Malanuus fights explicitly with his axe, lovingly named 'Skull Splitter'--it's a family heirloom and really a part of his character. That and every punch/attack made at you would be unarmed and net me an AoO since you, as a monk, as considered an armed opponent. That just wouldn't be fair. If you're serious though, we could PM Wizard (After he gets back and see about it). I know, in the past, when two people want to fight, they simply take their PC stats and begin a fight, regardless of where they are in a campaign. (I.E. - You still play your PC as it is in the campaign, we just 'copy' them and play them in the arena.)

Good point with the unarmed attack stuff, however then if you use Skullsplitter, you get the additional d6 bonus from the axe being magical. We could say that the arena has an antimagic field around it, then Skullsplitter is a mw greataxe?

Or just grant him the use of Gauntlets (spiked) so that he does not get the AoO, as he is actually armed..

However, the anti-magic field surpresses supernatural abilities, which Monks heavily rely on, so I'd go with being reduced to gauntlets to consider me armed. {I'm assuming Spiked Gauntlets for me would be a d6 in damage as opposed to d4 (large-size)} Skullsplitter must remain on my back though. I'd be down with trying this. Let's find a DM that wants to run it. (Myself excluded obiously)

Well, if you're having trouble finding a DM, I'll do this. But please understand that my time is limited as is (this week) and it can be tough to run these things when both players are trying to get the rules right 100% of the time. I only ask that no matter the DM, you guys enter in good spirits and keep it there, it's only a game, and for nothing but bragging rights besides.
Oh, and if you'd prefer; for this battle I'd suggest either temporarily un-enchanting the axe (MW), or using the spiked gauntlets. The terms are really up to you guys though.

What ??
The small lizards agaisn't that minotaur?
Yikes. We'd have toasted lizards quick enough. Plus the fact that I never ever played a mage, I doubt I would fight well with it. But heck, we can only know if we try it right?
I wouldn't mind to try it.

LOL...everyone wants a piece of me huh? Well come and get it. Lizard-Wizard, Funky-Monk...Malanuus cares not! Keiron, If Japic is willing, after the Thanksgiving Holiday, wanna duke it out on the following terms; - No armor (Aside from natural and monk abilities) - No weapons (Aside from giving Malanuus spiked gauntlets so that he's considered armed, horns will be legit attacks) - To the death? (Arena only of course, it will have no impact on the PCs anywhere else) I'm game if you are. Oh, and Lizard-Wizard? You want a piece, name your terms.

Ehm, Seriously, I have no idea. Can the arena be of special shapes or anything? Or is it a fixed room? A couple of rounds to prepare maybe? Oh, and thinking about it again, I could lvl up Nextxes'Hesmodaottus. I still have his sheet somewhere and with the table, it wouldn't take much time. Now Malanuus will fight agaisn't something of his size. If not bigger than hisself. I never really tested his ability in a real fight. Only agaisn't a commoner in a dark road and a crazy psion a couples of times. Which wasn't really his best fights.. What do you say ?

This is the only part I can speak for. THIS is the link to teh arena as we know it. I suppose it's possible to create more battlefields, although I've never really considered it. This is sort of an arena battle where anyone and everyone from whatever dimension of reality can come to test their skills against one another. Drawing inspiration from teh Coloseum in Rome I have considered allowing the arena to take on different forms as necissary. For instance flooding it with water, and having an underwater batttle of some sort. Or modifying the rules so that the combatants are not allowed to touch the floor or something. Even antimagic fields, or traps could be added in to spice up a battlefield. There's lots of ways to play in the same space if there's a will and a way. So long as the combatants agree on terms, I have no problems with whatever you decide.
