GAME TESTING

I am testing out a couple systems for 2.0.  I am going to simulate 3 arena battles and take down information about the combats. This is for balancing purposes.  There may be some design changes to the way the game works in each different battle.  Battle 1 will have the fewest changes.  You will be a level 4 vanilla character with 20 point buy.  I need you to try and min/max your characters as much as you would to make that certain class the best it can be for combat.  I will take up to 6 players.  I need one of each of the following roles as first come first serve.   Level :  4 Point buy 20 Books:  Ultimate Books, Advanced Books, Core Books - Use Unchained If Applicable Archetypes are allowed Multi-classing is allowed. Gold = WBL (No Single Item more than 1/2 WBL) Core & Featured Races 2 Traits  Roles: Ranged Damage Melee Heavy Damage Precision Damage Arcane Blaster Divine Healer Tank Post your choice below and begin creation on the Main Server. Store Character Under Testing

I'll make a Melee Heavy Damage

I'll make a tank if you'd let me.

Great!  We just need a few more participants .. Hopefully at least 2 Sign up here for the position you want to grab !

Ill make a ranged damage. 

I'll make the healer

i can make a "melee" damage i guess he could also be "ranged"

One slot left for arcane blaster 

Ok .. looks like we will test this with a group of 5 so i will be running my 5-6 adjustment  Let me know when your characters are completed and we can get started

Ranged damage test is completed

Tank is completed

Healer complete

Ok .. looks like we just need 2 more to finish up.  I would like to start this soon.

sorry, Melee Damage Dealer done

"precision" damage dealer is done

ok .. now we need to get you guys moved over to the right map .. when a GM sees you online please have them move your avatar to the arena map on the main server

I think i just need Ben moved and everyone else is good to go

Are we doing it live? or otherwise.

If live, ill need to plan when. Between 6-9 is possible assuming we dont let my daughter nap to long, but ill need to fit it between dinner and kids bedtime. (Moving my computer elsewhere is on a todo list, but the desk is huge).

I think everyone is ready .. go ahead and roll your initiative.  I think we all play enough we will just take turns when our initiative comes up.  Its not really important the speed at which the test goes as the data I get.  You should be able to select your token and roll initiative and it will toss you into the tracker in the correct spot.  You may go ahead and have cast any long duration buffs but not round/level buffs.  Once everyone is in the tracker we will begin the battle!  I will make a thread called Arena Round 1 and link it here when we officially begin.  Feel free to role play it up for fun because why not.

I'll be slow but I'll post tonight.

Arena Test 1

One thing to adjust  Ferak the tank ... you have done a great job max/mining your character ..  The issue is your strength is dropped too low for you to be able to move. I suggest removing 1 from con or even 2 from con and raising your strength up by 3 or 4 and be able to  1.  have your AC back from the dex penalty (which is going to lower your AC by 4 at current load) 2.  deal damage if needed I will allow this change before you make your first turn. medium load you get a max dex of +3  heavy load you get a max dex of +1  your goal is to carry 33 lbs or less or up your strength.

since hes only getting 2 points maximum from his dex anyways, he might as well just drop that to a 14  and bump up STR

Justin .. Post your turn on Arena Test 1 Thread after adjusting your character as you might need to - You are up!

((Fixed)) Ferak walks out beside his companion, Thark, his shield up, and his javelin ready. 

Hey Justin .. I am going to move your post this time but it needs to be placed in Arena Test 1 thread and not here.  Use that thread next time.  Thanks!
