This is where we can discuss anything outside of the ongoing fray.
The best way to get in the game is to send a PM to myself, Mr. Swagger, LazarX, and hopefully a few other people willing to act as judges. Outline your character following the rules given in the gameplay thread, and once he's been looked over and given the OK, he can wait in line for his turn at the reigning champion.
This is just for fun, so let's just have some giggles watching mages kill each other in new and creative ways!
Part of the crowd. Good first fight, quite exciting to read! Quite a few errors though. Let's see that improve in the next fight (rematch or new fight).
I have no problem with the rules there. If people want to use them, that's fine. I think what we have now is about as simple as it can be, though.
Sure. Roll initiative and resume the destruction!
I won't roll for anybody, since I missed the actual initiative last time.

One of the main changes the UM spell duels adds is the ability to counter every spell - which have been implemented as may be a way to nerf divination wizards. With normal rules the initiative winner will almost always win. If you're given a chance to counter that first spell you can at least have a bit of a fighting chance.
Note that in order to counter you still have to identify the spell with a successful spellcraft check and then make a caster level check, so it's by no means guaranteed, and the wizard's ability score bonus to spellcraft will still give it the upper hand.
Is it all about initiative?
We anticipate many answers, here on As the Mage Burns.
Looks good. Go forth and kill!
