Hero's Combat Mechanics (Poll, please vote)

No, it should be a fight to 0 body with either all types of armor allowed (Magical and non magical) or no armor.

Can you elaborate on that? Hero's combat has always allowed no magic items including magical weapons. And, supposedly, the balance of armor is that you gain protection at the cost of weight / lack of maneuverability. Assuming normal armor is included in the mix (which kind of balances with the fact that normal weapons are allowed), why should Arcane Armor also be allowed?

From an IG stand point it would make sense to have and use AA (at least to me). It makes complete tactical sense. Almost top protection with none of the drawbacks. You should also be allowed to refit your armor (both), if they can pull it off, Nice...Nice.

From an OOG view, it should be natural armor only. You look great but are slowed down and cumbersome, you should get some benefit.

I still like the full body points style (real damage) as it prevents cheating OOG cheating. IG padded dmg. I can say that it didn't hit me all day long until an IG judge calls me on it. Real dmg...now that's different. I have no problem with people cheating IG...IG but OOG, no good.

I will be installing a mud pit this year at the site and all hero and team combat will be taking place in said mud pit. :thumbsup:

No females allowed... totally unfair for the men hehehe

If anyone manages to refit their armor mid fight during Hero's Combat, I swear I am just going to award them 1st place on the spot. And yes Tom, I know, you consider that a challenge.

Pop off a stun to each arm and you're golden.

This was done at the first National event, if I recall correctly, for the Valkryie capture the flag thing. It worked pretty well... until we were trapped in the thunderdome with the Rakshasa...

He was playing nice until the referee accused him of cheating...

I still carry Bane Greater Command items and use high magic for a cloak after that whole thing. "Use him for a backpack!" they said. "It's a game!" they said. "Nothing can go wrong!" they insisted. Stupid Arkelian Hunt.

Hey we WERE winning before the referees got uppity.

Stay on topic you two.

Fine...

I think AA shouldn't be allowed in pure fighters competitions, there should be a penalty for having an extra thirty hit points in a closed setting. If you don't have reps, it's time to buy, borrow or go without.
