The Pathfinder Pits

1 person marked this as a favorite.

The Pathfinder Pits are now recruiting! Simply read through the rules (under Campaign Information) and create a pit fighter to get started. For the time being, everyone who submits a legal character will be able to play. The first round of fights will be starting tomorrow, April 10th, so anyone who wants to be in on those should get their pit fighter together quickly. Don't worry if you can't make the first round, new fights should go up fairly frequently. If and when you have a character, please post once in this thread using your character's alias (even if you've already submitted a character to Pit Administration). Any questions related to recruitment or character creation may be asked here. Please make sure you've read the rules before asking.


Ready to roll


The Dwarven Chew-Toy I'd half finished before will be fully finished for this endeavor.


DURGROSH READY SMACK SOME PEOPLES UPSIDE HEADS! NOT SURE WHY YELLING BUT CAN'T STOP NOW! IS TOO LATE FOR ME SAVE SELVES! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!


boom! IN!

Locked, stocked, and ready to rock!


The bulk of our communication as active players will happen here? Or in the Discussion thread?


Communication stuff will happen in discussion, to prevent another 1,500 post "recruitment" thread.


Johnny looks forward to smashing you all.


Zouh Law is here


Auto Gladiators.....ROLL OUT!


Bruno is ready to instill a healthy fear of camels!


Here is Liane.


I will have a character submitted to you by the end of the night so hopefully I can still be in the first round. Been looking forward to this for some time.


Bruno's description updated in alias.


Lieahsiel ready to roll, submitting info in a minute or so.


Ready to battle!


Ready to enter the ring.


All set and ready to kick some ass, methinks :)


About to hit the road for a bunch of work travel, so if I jump in the ring it won't be for a few weeks - but I have to say I'm seriously impressed with the degree of detail that went into your prep work on this.


Syth-Summoner McCheese reporting for duty.


Dot.

Silver Crusade

Oh goodness this looks fun. I think I have an offbeat character concept to try for this.


Realized I didn't have the evolutions on my profile. This has been fixed.


Gnasher has been submitted. I'll add a description of him to this profile in a bit.


Trihedron submitted and waiting for approval ;)


I'll post another reminder: There is no need to have any mechanical information publicly visible to your opponents, and stat blocks must be sent to Pit Administration to be accepted.


Muahahaha...BASHA is ready to crack some skulls.


I'm fairly busy this weekend, but let me know when Pit 1 goes up, unless we have to arrange it ourselves, like I interpreted your original posts, when you said "I'll be setting up eight pits initially, so the next two fully accepted entrants will be able to jump right in against one another". :p


Ooooooooo!!! Let me at em'! Let me at em!

Scarab Sages

This arena is always accepting new blood, if anyone fancies joining. :)


I never entered the full arena I probably will soon.


Were still looking for gladiators if anyone is interested!

Scarab Sages

Indeed, this arena is always open. :)


Hi, I sent a character/combat question to Pit Administration, is this still a good place to send it?


Nope, the creator of the arena is AWOL. You can send it to me.


Awesome! Done.


A few things, for anyone interested:

At level 3 you get 4,500 gp. 10% of that can be consumables, but only half of your consumable budget will be reimbursed each fight. So, for example, you can have 450 gp worth of consumables (to prepare for different situations). But only 225 gp will be reimbursed after a fight. So if you use 300 gp of potions in one fight, you went over by 75 gp, so your overall wealth is now lowered to 4,425 gp. G

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here. I guarantee other people will have the same questions you do ;-)

Bruno is the most delayed char sheet by far for me. Got called into work before I could finish him. Grr. I should have him in late tonight.


Some helpful links, including one of the Pit Threads for people who want to view some of the past matches, for those interested. There is no limit to the number of gladiators and no build is too "cheesy", so try out whatever build you're thinking.

i have a question how do you handle spell precast outside of arena for the 1h / and 10 min per level buff?

Scarab Sages

You are restricted from pre-buffing one day before your match. So only permanent or 24hr+ buffs are allowed before match start


That includes things like eidolons and animal companions. So if you're a cavalier you enter the arena with your horse (though not already mounted).

If you are a wizard who casts Mount it needs to be inside the arena (or could be outside at level 12 or higher, due to the 2hrs/level duration)

Grand Lodge

Got it.

other question as i am looking at gear.

how does the resell of permanent magic item is handled?

ex mithril chain shirt purchased at level 3 and selling to by a +1 full plate later on?


Full price. Essentially, you can fully change your gear each match if you want to, as long as you don't use over 5% of your wealth on consumables in a single match.

Grand Lodge

Got it.


I look forwards to dancing to the tune of blood~


Preciate the help mbauers, a gentleman and a scholar. :)


You're welcome, and thanks for the interest everyone

Bruno himself is done. Esmeralda is giving me fits, however. :(
