Statistics
Each member has the following statistics in their profile:

Gold
XP Level/Point
-------------------------
Health/Power
Attack/Defence
------------------------
Abilities

You can view them by going to the Memberlist and then clicking on your name, or clicking on "Statistcs" in your signature next to your biography link.

Before we begin, I want to make myself clear that the system concerning these statistics will not take place in any other board apart from the Arena of Combat. This will ensure the liberty of role-playing freely everywhere else, although your abilities may be limited as they are linked to this system.

Any people who are uncomfortable with this new system to do with statistics, and will not role-play in the Arena of Combat at all to increase their abilities and attributes, please PM me and you may carry on as if nothing has happened. This system is just to spark some fun into things, get the competitiveness going and hopefully encourage you to role-play in quests. You can receive prizes such as abilities, and an increase of statistics if you play your cards right.

So, what do the above attributes mean?

Your gold is basically your money. Each member will have the same amount of gold to start off. Other things to do with your gold is described below.

Abilities depend on the XP Level/Point system. Experience is counted by 100 points for every level, 10 levels - 1000 points in total. Once a character has enough experience points (200 = Level 2, 500 = Level 5 etc.) then they can advance to the next experience level. This will also increase your statistics by 25 points.

Health/Power & Attack/Defence are your attributes for fighting your opponents. More will be described down below.

Abilities ... well that's obvious. Read all about your abilities here.

These statistics will help role-players fight a decent game. As the only fighting going on here results in the Arena of Combat, the attributes will be defined in your profiles and only accessible to staff. Each member has the same amount of statistics to create equity. People with over 500 posts are on XP Level/Point 2/200 but their other statistics are still the same as everyone else.

As characters continue role-playing and taking part in battles, quests etc. their statistics will increase and decrease.

Battle System
Role-Players battle for experience points and statistics. These will increase if a character is triumphant and decrease if a character isn't. However, fighting comes at a price. Before you begin, you must part with some of your gold. If you win, you get your gold back. If you don't, then you don't, as simple as.

Your options are as follows:

Opponent: Your choice (Choose your own opponent), Member's choice (Member's choose)
Type of battle: Abilties only, Weapons only, Abilities & Weapons.
Outcome of the battle: Your choice (Yours and the opponents' choice), Member's choice (Members of RoM will choose), Staff's choice (Staff will decide)

This will all take place in the Arena of Combat board. Rules will shortly be up to enlist fair-play. You must abide these rules along with the original ones listed in the Matters of Significance board.

Characters who want to participate in this battle system must PM an admin. Your name will then appear here for everyone to see who they want to battle with etc. Feel free to PM an admin if you don't want to take part any more.

Once you've decided all your options, please copy the application below and post it here.



Fighting must be evenly matched in the sense that it must be 1 Vs. 1, or 2 Vs. 2.

How the Battle will affect your statistics are described here.
