Yeah.. tournaments could be cool IF they are done right, and for the right rewards *salivates over ma arcane gear*

I agree - you really do need to flesh out a FULL ruleset, not just give a lvl cap.. plus lvl25 rules out all my active toons anyhow -- perhaps you should have multiple ranges like; (5-15, 16-24, and 25-35? for example)

And for sure:

1. get a dm (or more) involved to help ref?

2. set a date maybe 1 or 2 weeks (or more?) in the future so people could even make a new build or delevel/levelup to max it. And post in a thread who is entering etc...

3. have strict, well thought out rules in CLEAR ENGLISH, possibly stating the actual match rules (like 1 minute to buff or no buffing, hiding or invisible allowed, disarming allowed or not, etc...), death magic/abilities allowed or not, etc...

btw: you didn't mention if CoT's or Monks can use their healing abilities

and Bards and Rangers can cast heal too...

I'm in if 37th lev genuine characters can enter. I'll enter by myself if ok to take on two team mates even...(I should have no problem vs. a high lev mage or even a druid dragon shape...at least a 50/50 chance to win since I'm one of those characters with hundreds of scrolls)...

Perhaps I can donate some of those scrolls to the prize?

I'd be happy to officiate if you guys come up with a fixed time for it.

ok ok ok

i wasnt clear at all lol so here goes attempt #3

1) no sd at all will lock into infinite tie between two teams of sd

2) one min buffing time ( so death magic would be allowed )

3) as long as it is not a heal potien heal away

4) scrolls take longer to cast then spells so y not

basically i was trying to start up a tourny that would get alot of people together at one time if there are any more questions feel free to post oh and as far as time limit id love to hear when it is most convienient for everyone

Yeah... any buffing time at all = gg.

Why should Invis be allowed if HIPS isnt? There is just too far of a difference between mages and melee to expect them to compete on the same level in a tourney.

Mage wins every time. My guess is that Havok's high level character is a mage... but thats just me.

Basically ya need some help; LVL's 28 to 32 is one tourney; 23 to 27 is another tourney. The 1st would be the lvls 23 to 27 and 28 to 32 2nd round. 2 or 3 ppl make a team (u decide) i think 3 vs 3 is a good match thou. All goes except no heals what so ever and no summons. Each player puts up the donation as requested as before and a dm states he or she is the official who is in charge of the event. i think if the dm that is in charge transports everyone to the dessert of angmar, the entrance before the the formain hive and place each team on seperate corners. That way it will give u time to buff and what ever ya do. Keep it real and give ppl 2 wks to decide to do what they want to do. Maybe if the dm in charge could give the winners a unquie item(doesnt neccesarily mean anything they can use) something hard to achieve is all. and maybe some exp to create a warm fuzzy feeling inside. 3 vs 3 would would be a good mix because 1 vs 1 is kind of , erm not fair at some points, too many variables. And if Dm's want to get involvoed as players, no dm's can be on the same team and u have to use your dm loggin name to be on a team.

lemme guess why hips not, alien => lvl 25=> 80+hide, 70+MS => 35+fort,40+ref,25+will....(not giving exact numbers

)
don't think there are manny lvl 25 or lower that can spot or use a area spell to hamper her

Why not just cap it at lvl 5 ... now that would be fun eh ... or lvl 10 .... wouldn't that solve most cheese problems (takes maybe 2 hrs at most to lvl a toon to 5) ...

But planar summons = the anti-mage... I see where this is going

Yeah, Ryddwillow hates it when I use my summon (Epic Dragon Knight) or my cleric Healing spells...

He/she/it claims 'foul' every time...

ihuntudown · Post by **ihuntudown** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 2:51 pm

cuase it is foul. Take a lvl 26clr and buff that summon with every beefspell you can cast, and the thingy is near immortal

That is for another topic, stick to this one plz.

That is why it 3 vs 3 to create a balance is all, for every sneaker their is soneone who can see the sneaker and for every mage there is a mage killer. Get teams organized and pick your chars. carefully is all, if u have a better idea then bashing all the rest of the ideas above then plz do share we are all listening?

Actually, no, its 2v2. You suggested 3v3, but no one said it was to be changed. Remember, you are not making the rules, willow. I am just making suggestions to KST, since his proposal had holes in it.

Summons (conjuration) are just as much of a build as necromancy or evocation... IMO there shouldnt be any buff time, which would even the field out a bit.
