I'll put up the 5th heat in the arenas in a couple of hours if no one beats me to it ^^.

Ater that heat we will go straight to Quarter-Finals!

remember to spend your XP if you don't want to bank them up!

I fully intend to spend my XP for the next round; I will likely be busy in the afternoon but available in the evening. ^^

So i have 40xp to spend? Umm assuming your right about the outcome, i am gonna double check but i think everything checks out...

@TheShard Yes, I think after you solved your first fight it is only fair to inherit Cheevils XP (10XP for each defeate) as you also inherite his points (0)

So Heat B, C and D are up, you may start any time.

I'll wait with Heat A until tomorrow (if @TheShard wants to add some final rpging on the fight)

Therefor If you like @SithArissa I'll let you decide if you want the Black DPs in our little skirmish (we can wait until you finished your brawl with the furry bounty Hunter of saberdoom ^^) But than I will set the stage already.

Well, to state my XP expenditure:

I have a total of 30 exp (2 wins, 2 lost)

Signature ability:
10 xp for Increase Number

10 xp for increase number

For clarification: I will be able to manipulate the facing of three dice now, not just one, twice a session for one DP per use.

Skills:

I will spend 5 xp for one cool rank.

That will leave me with 5 xp remaining that I will bank to spend prior to the quarter finals.

Second edit: Oh wait, I already have a rank in cool from my free talent. I will reserve my EXP for the last round, so just spending 20 on my sig ability.

Edited by LordBritish

Arrther has previously purchased 2 control upgrades for Move for 15xp, ill spend the other 20 on a 4th rank of Lightsaber... when all your eggs are in one basket may as well make an omelette!

Somehow I feel like I should have lost some matches.... to gain actuall exp... -_-

You are in a match now, you can lose that if you want.

The great divergence between the proud to win of a player and the greed for EXP of the RPG-ler <_< how could I ever make a dissicion like this? -_-

Let the dice decide over my fate... well and ether way after this match I'll have enough point to get my coordinate doge talent :wub:

@Nightone

So i could have reduced crits with a talent but id have no chance either way so I'll leave it as is.

Good duel, sorry for delayed response.

Coordinated Dodge? Do you want me to forfight next time we play? XD

I just thought up this stupid broken PVP build... I'd never be cheap enough to actually play this character, but I thought I'd share.

The strategy is algorithmic:

(1) Use 2 strain on Rapid Reaction to add +2 success to your initiative roll.

(2) If you lose initiative, use Sense Advantage on your opponent's attack roll and hope to survive until your first turn.

On your first turn...

(3) Use Bind on your opponent.

(4) If you succeed on the opposed Discipline roll, don't spend any Dark Side pips, so that your opponent is both staggered and immobilized. Commit 3 Force dice to make these effects permanent. Go to step 7.

(5) If you failed your Bind roll, use Natural Mystic to re-roll it. If you succeed, go to step 4. If you fail, go to step 6.

(6) If you failed a second time, spend 2 strain to try a third Bind roll with The Force is My Ally. If you succeed, go to step 4. If you fail, try again next turn.

(7) Assuming you haven't failed all 3 of your Bind rolls, your opponent is now permanently unable to take either maneuvers or actions. You now have infinite turns in which to melt them down with your disruptor rifle.

The character is also supposed to have armor, but I guess I forgot to equip it.

Ohh! I'd like to see @DaverWattra play this character against The Bulk :D

The Bulk's successes have warmed my heart, since he's the most similar out of all the characters in the tournament to Denthos Ren, who I designed but didn't end up playing. Cortosis soak 9 FTW

Edit: Binder Megoo v Bulk would just boil down to an initiative contest, which Binder would win more often than not on both Vigilance and Cool ;)

Edited by DaverWattra

Biggest chance of survive ... all DPs in the enemys favor and no White Pips shown on the Bind roll or at least not enought to use the needed range upgrade ^^ or praying you lose the Disciplin vs. Disciplin/ Coordination check somehow (since all players are "important")

But yes Bind and concussive are total Killers in PvP - Because there is nothing that helps against it really - But there are a lot of builds that can brake a pvp contest easily ^^

You didn't had the supreme Armor master in our fight, did you? but yes with that you could have postponed the decision by one round ^^

I did but yes I'd of been out regardless.

Sorry about my delayed start; I've had a few things I've had to tackle starting from yeasterday. Should be able to make some time in the evening.

I'm in no hurry Also can we change gear in between matches?

Equipment is locked in, I believe. Part of the tournament. The exception was Pango's Thermal Detonator, which was unanimously deemed overpowered, so he was allowed to swap it out.

Wish i knew that earlier
