"Greetings Spell Casters of the Horde, we the Coven, are going to host another Tournament for Spell casters the 23’th of November in the evening. Long have tournaments and spars been for the physical warriors, but now we shall test the strength of all casters who wishes to participate.
We will be using our own home base for the Tournament, in Venomspite Northrend. So the weather and cold will test your mental fortitude as well. Bring warm clothes, we will however also provide extra blankets for the living that comes. Drinks and light snacks will be present, as well as mana potions and health potions, especially the first mentioned to keep everyone in their best spell casting condition. A barrier will be in place so spells does not go flying.
We can easily provide healing for the undead, but ask that healers for the living will show up as well. First aid and surgery can only go so far.
Now for the Rules.
The tournament will be held in a normal bracket form, and the opponents will be drawn with lots, so no one can prepare for an opponent before the day of the tournament. A match will be held to decide third place from the losing matches of second and first place casters.
Certain magics and spells will be resctricted:
Fel, Death, Decay, Mind magic, Curses.
Restricted does not mean forbidden, however these types of magic and spells can easily lead to permanent trauma and damage, which will be completely out of question, that counts for all magics, NO PERMANENT DAMAGE. If you state you use any of these types of magics or spells, you will get more information on the day.
No physical attacks are allowed, though pushing each other around with magic is allowed, and accidently falling into each other will be allowed, but strictly kept an eye on.
We will be going with three hits, and that’s three different spells. So spells such as Arcane missile, will count as one hit, if the spell hits. If the spells are dodged, or otherwise warded against with magic, it does not count as a hit.
To keep it fair, the Coven will provide one judge, and invite two others, not from the Coven.
To enter all you have to do is show up on the day, registrer at the table that will be set up. State your name, and what type or types of magic you will use. If you use magic you have not stated, you will be disqualified.
There will of course be prizes to be won.
We hope we see your magical skills in Northrend."
OOC:
Hi! It is us again, we quite enjoyed hosting the tournament last time, so we will hold another!
The Tournament registration will start 19:45 - 20:15
and the Tournament itself will start 20:20
All in game time.
Here comes some extra OOC rules:
We will be going with the classic attack - defense rolling duel with 3 hp. You will be rolling with a D20. If you have any questions to this, do ask.
A coin will be tossed to see who get’s to cast the first spell.
A special thing to keep notice of, is critical fail 1, and critical success 20.
rolling a 1:
if you roll 1 for your attack or defense, it means your spell fizzles out, or your trip, the point is, your magic doesn’t even appear, embarrassing!
rolling a 20:
if you roll a 20 for your attack, it means you get to attack again next round!
if you roll 20 on defend, it means you get two attack rounds afterwards.
We know it might sound a little overpowered, but we also know it will give space for some extraordinary magic skill showing, and luck is part of life, so good for you if you roll 20!
If the same number is rolled by both, a reroll will happen, even if it’s 1 and 20.
We hope to see you, and hope you will enjoy the tournament!
No one hurts the bunny! <3
