Battle

Battle system

Current Challengers and Bosses are divided into 3 difficulties: Novice, Medium and Hard. It is recommended to start with Novice level challengers, but you can carve your own path to become the master fighter. Or get your ass majorly kicked before crawling back to Novice challengers, that is a path too.

Each difficulty category has their own Boss. In addition to these permanent bosses, there will also be rotating Traveling Bosses. These bosses will rotate seasonally and give changing special prizes.

Boss battle entries need to be done by the centaurs owner.
NPC challenger battle entries are not required to be made by the fighting centaurs owner, and can be made by someone else.

Each challenger and boss give out unique rewards if you defeat them. If you lose your battle, there is a high risk of getting wounded, but if you do you'll receive: 1 x Scars customization item & 50 SC

Requirements for battles

Fullbody presentation of both fighting opponents, with colors, shading and complex background.

1000 wordcount literature for one activity participating centaur, with most of the literatures wordcount focusing on the battling centaur the activity and itself.
If more centaurs are present, each centaur adds +400 words to the needed wordcount.
This includes group owned NPC's or starters if they are featured in stories.

For PvP collab literatures, each person needs to fulfill that 1000 minimum requirement in their part of the collab.
So in example, two person PvP literature battle minimum wordcount for two centaurs is 2000.
Comic battles must feature at least one fullbody frame of the activity roll receiving centaur, and the comics focus needs to clearly be on battling. With PvP battle comics, both fighters need to have at least one fullbody frame.

Bystanders can be added for exp.

There can be 1 activity participating centaur in one NPC/BOSS entry.

For PvP collabs, both participants need to give equal amount of effort for the collab.

Rolling battle results and redeeming loot

Just like other activities, redeeming loot is the owner's responsibility.

Remember that Battle results and loot can be claimed AFTER your activity entry has been accepted to the group!

>Proceed to Battle Processing<

There isn't currently minimum artwork size for activity entries. The participating centaurs however need to be properly recognizable, and follow simplicity rules presented in EXP guide. If admins cannot recognize the centaurs or they appear too simplistic due small size, the loot roll can be denied.

Battle Points

Battles work with Battle points that come directly from your centaur's Stat points and applied equipment.
The combined total of their stat points and applied equipment is their base Battle Points. Additionally, each fighter gets a randomly rolled amount of Battle Points at the start of the fight, and the amount of extra Battle Points can be increased with bonuses.

The RNG bonus points are rolled between 1-10.
The range is big to represent that anything can happen in battle. May the Lady Luck favor you!

Let's see Sétanta's base Battle point breakout for example:

Combined together, these 10 + 12 points will result in 22 battle points. On top of that, each fighter receives randomly generated bonus points for each battle.

Bonuses and Sabotage

You can increase your chances for victory with bonuses; such as equipping armor, a shield and weapons. This equipment increases your Battle Points by turning the equipment stat boost into points.

You can also choose to sabotage. Current ways to sabotage are:

Lesser poison has 20% chance of poisoning your opponent,
resulting in them loosing -5 battle points.
Potent poison has 50% chance of poisoning your opponent,
resulting in them loosing -5 battle points.

You can sabotage in all NPC and Boss battles. With PvP battles, if battle points are the chosen method for determining the winner, both participants need to consent on using sabotage. With RNG method sabotage cannot be used.

PvP Fights

Nothing like a friendly fight, or honorable fight to almost-death.
You can challenge your friends into PvP Fights! You can choose to either enable battle points for determining winner, or only RNG.

Your submission needs to be an equally made collab to be eligible for PvP battle. This collab must be done by players who own the centaurs that are fighting each other.

PVP rewards:

The winning player receives 1 x Stat applicator, 1 x Scars customization item & 100 SC
The losing player receives: 1 x Scars customization item & 50 SC
