the dynamic change is an inate ability and just a natural thing, when you think about the others, they aren't that powerful. an agile opponent could easily dodge both the fireballs and meteor.

You just have to take it as a druidic spell. you know, taking on the form of a certain animal for his attributes. so... it could go like this.
Spell Name:Dynamic Change
Element:???
Power Level: High
Physical Description: Changes into a Half-Human, Half-Dragon being. Taking on the attributes of a dragon and most of his human spells
Limitation:Form Not easily Attained. Form becomes slowly weaker over time.

that's just an idea. like a layout for the spell.

so your wish is now granted draches

History

Enter History here. jeez i think ive RPed enough with him for u all to know his depressing yet inspiring history. if u wana hear it again then tell me and ill post it you crybabies j/k

is this alright serenity, tell me if something needs to be done

Sorry for the lateness of this Talis... Every time I try and come in here to reply and tell you this, someone comes up with something uber-important for me to do on a right now basis. Just to let you know I wasn't ignoring you...lol



I would change this element to "Dark" as it's a basic element, and shadow's opposite would have to be light anyways so it works. Also, if you are going to be an elf with a darkness element you might consider adding something in your history regarding dark elves and how this has affected your character. This would keep it consistent with the races, as Elves and Dark Elves (otherwise known as Drow in D&D) are known to not get along... lol If you'd like to know any history on these guys, just ask. (I have some nice books describing their placement in Celtic mytholiogy [Gaelic].)



"Advanced" is not an option unless you are a judge or have been given the title from the head of events. (It's meant to be an award for good standing in the arena.) Please look at the table below:

<b>Levels available to new joiners:</b>

• None
• Minimal
• Mediocre
• Proficent

<b>Levels available to high-ranking battlers and judges:</b>

• Advanced

If I were you I would go with Proficient. (Elves tend to have natural magic ability anyways, so this is acceptable.)



<b><font color=red>This next one goes for EVERYONE as I have seen a lot of confusion with this and it's going to be a main part of new template revisions.</font></b>

The list of levels stated above are applied here. You may use any level the same or lower than your magic ability. For example, if I was at a Mediocre magic ability level, I could put down "Minimal" or "Mediocre" down for my spell level, but I could not put down "Proficient" or "Advanced" because they are higher than my magic ability level. Seeing as they are all spells, "none" is not an appropriate answer, as all spells must use at the least a minimal ability to function.

Other than this I foresee no more issues here. I like the character, and the name.

Oh... one more thing. If you are going to battle Draches in the arena you might consider asking him to change into his human morphed form, because I know from experience that dragon vs. humanoid is a naturally unbalanced fight. Though if you think you two can handle it... go right ahead.

thats makes this easier lol, thx for the correction serenity....and for the relatively quick response.
i thought u meant "for new joiners" as new to the board, not arena, srry for confusion.

srry bout that, the last post was me, forgot to log on hehe

Nope, I stuck you all down as newbies, though I have to say it will be relatively easier for the older people to advance to this position as I can be more sure of the ability. I will prolly add more levels as we increase in people.

HEY SERENITY! I NEED YOU NOW! FOR SOMETHING UBER-IMPORTANT! not really. lol. but uhh... Would i be considered a Mediocre magic user or a proficient magic user. and i guess that means i either make up a Human Form for Draches(which i beleive i've done before...) Or Make up a Character Template for Alaric the ever so pimpin' human shapeshifter of mine. which is cool. i should do that anywayz. But ya know me and Del can fight dragon to humanoid. we're cool like that.

DUDE! QUIT USING MY UBER-KEWL WORDS! lol j/k

Dragons are also a naturally "magical" creature, as corney as that sounds. Though if you aren't confident in your ability, put down a lower level and work your way up. You can always advance later!

hey draches...*waits for everything to grow quiet*
lets fight fool!!!.

It doesn't matter if you want to, have applied to, or are eligible to become a judge. <font color=red>Your statistics must match your current ranking </font>(which is a beginner). You also need to change the power level of your spells so that they match up. If you don't understand how, read my previous post.

You will not be allowed to participate in the Arena until this is done.

Alright, I fixed the things up, except for the Murson-Karez Frenzy Ability b/c that's just a sword technique, it's not magic, so it shouldn't have an element, also, I changed the Element of my Elemental Blast from Earth to Wind, and I realize that means that I can't produce a Earth Element Attack.

If you are choosing a race that is not standard, please lend some description. I would prefer it if you could compare the race to the closest standard race, so the judges may use this as a template. If your race has any outstanding qualities or abilities, you may have to get it approved by me first.


"God" is not a class allowed in the Battle Arena. Please choose one of the basic character classes. If you are a magic user (without the aid of a specialized weapon) then Mage would be the appropriate class for you. You can also choose a Specialized Mage if you wish. If this is the case, ask me for a list.


If you are a Magic User, you must choose one of the basic Elements:

• Water (Ice)
• Earth
• Wind
• Fire
• Light
• Dark

All of your spells must be labled with these as well. You may only choose one base element. Any spell that is not of your base element will be considered weakened.


Please look at the table below:

<b>Levels available to new joiners:</b>

• None
• Minimal
• Mediocre
• Proficent

<b>Levels available to high-ranking battlers and judges:</b>

• Advanced

You must choose a Magic Ability Level. I would suggest choosing Mediocre and working your way upwards.



Let me repeat myself.

<b><font color=red>This next one goes for EVERYONE as I have seen a lot of confusion with this and it's going to be a main part of new template revisions.</font></b>

The list of levels stated above are applied here. You may use any level the same or lower than your magic ability. For example, if I was at a Mediocre magic ability level, I could put down "Minimal" or "Mediocre" down for my spell level, but I could not put down "Proficient" or "Advanced" because they are higher than my magic ability level. Seeing as they are all spells, "none" is not an appropriate answer, as all spells must use at the least a minimal ability to function.


All Spells must have some type of limitation.


I'm going to have to put a rejection on these for now, as they are not in the original Template and therefore would give you an unfair advatage. Perhaps I will add these in later!


See above discussing Element choices.

<b>Also:</b> You might want to read the new rules in "OOC: Battle Arena" as they have changed a bit since the last one!

<center>~~~</center>
<center><b><font color=blue>TUTTI:</font></b></center>
Be reminded that not only can you gain a level in the Arena, you might also loose one do to poor sportsmanship.

<b><font color=red>Also:</font></b>Remember to remove your sigs!!

<center><b><font color= green>+ Silver - Orbs +</font></b></center>
Yes, + Silver - Orbs +, it is. This is the kind of work I expect that my players can handle. As you can see they are all this long, as they follow a basic Template I have provided. You will also notice, in the rules section for this Game, that there is a list of specific rules and guidelines. Please read over everything carefully if you are thinking of joining.

Why have + Silver - Orbs+ join? she's already been banned from he thread...oh, and I would like to point out that Zoanrevived said *see history* a number of times, but did not write a history. A paradox, no? or maybe I'm just being paranoid

She wasn't banned from the thread, she was told not to post in there again until she had signed up.

alright, I updated it alittle bit.

<center><b>Zoanrevived</b></center>
Very good, Zoan, you adapted it very well. Let me address a few final things.

<b>Element:</b> One strong element for new joiners. You can use other elements they will just be weak. You should not use the element opposite to your strong element. If you can't do it with this character, I'm going to have to ask you to create a new one for the Arena. And, for the record, there will be no allowance of characters here who use them all superbly. (Though I may consider characters with a weak ability in all areas, with a minimal magic ability level)

I was looking over your spells and it seems most of them are energy spells. I suggest making those spells light spells, and putting your element down as light (I would say dark, but this might create the need for a shift in your allignment). You have to have an element for all of your spells, however. If you want to keep it to Earth, you may not use/create wind spells.

<b>Class:</b> Fighter/Mage would be your best bet here then (It's a dual class). This, however, will affect the rate at which you can rise to a new level for your magic ability. (AKA your magic will be stunted)

I'm going to label your race as "similar to an Elf", as you seem to concentrate on speed and agility, and you also put that your race has some natural ability with magic. This should fit in great with your profile.

Other than this, everything looks great. When you increase your standing in the arena, you may use the spells you have set aside.

You character is fully prepared to do battle in the Arena at any time after these changes are finalized. Good luck!

Ok, I finalized it.

BTW, my person POV, there was a few things that I disagreed with with your template, but I believe that it is better to have a single template that every RP'er uses instead of making havoc with several different types. I just got to find the loop-holes to get Zoan to be the same as he was before.

_________________

Now you see that last post you just made? Its the sprt of thing that you don't tell people. If I was incharge fo the rules department, I'd install the rule 'Zoan may not be like his old self and his profile is locked usless I otherwise say so.' Nothing personal, justhad to say it. I'm impulsive.

Hey, I was just being sarcastic with the whole loop hole thing. I mean, I don't know, Zoan just seems so limited with this new template, but Serenity did say that she was going to be adding new things to it. Besides, Zoan like never uses his techniques. Just, that when he does, I kind of hoped that he would be able to use them the way he use to. But I guess Serenity's just trying to make it more equal. So that the n00b's would have a shot at beating those who have been here longer.

_________________

yeah zoan, that's basically It. Basically we're all starting out at our basic selves, the more we battle the more we can gain/lose. and WD you just post where you can. we understand

Well duh. I have no morals when it comes to spamming. I'll probably lose all enthusiasm when I reach 500 or so.
