Oh man, it's been a while since I've done one of these. Time to make a Kobold!

EDIT: The Krying Bowbold Returns!

EDIT2: Hmm, can I still reduce the number of arrows my fighter starts with?

Hmm, I was going for a gimmicky "fire two arrows, then beat the opponent to death with the bow" build, the one build where I actually won with a bowbold, but for a teamfight I guess I'll go with a more traditional build.

Fellow Cool Rad Awesome Pals, I hope you're as excited as I am to destroy our much larger opponents in round 1. Seriously though I think we look fine and can't wait to see what the hell happens.



poo poo, that's right, we're all small mostly relying on dodge.

Oak is generally considered the worst material for anything except shields. An oak shield will block just as well as a steel shield, and is a whole lot cheaper.

They can even block dragonfire! :science:

Huh. That's not actually a bad idea. It's even really cheap, and a copper one can work like an emergency melee weapon in case something goes wrong with the actual sword. I'll test it out in a bit.

My original bow-bold build was to start a match with a Platinum/Silver Bow and 2-3 arrows. Enough to shoot the enemy as they approach you, then bludgeon them to death when they're in your face. If this wasn't a team-fight, this would be exactly what I would be using.

Alternatively, a Soldier Ant Woman with a Bow, Sword, and Shield using effectively the same strategy as above, only this time you can combine slashing and blunt damage together after getting a few early hits in. I would try this but, well, Kobolds.

Where were you 4 days ago with this brilliant idea?

Came up with it on IRC a year or two ago. And of course I'm not going to announce my wacky build ideas when people are still making theirs! I could be making this wacky idea that is horribly doomed to fail.

so like, if any commissioner has a method of editing the images that's faster than manually cropping each, that'd be greeeeeat
also I am by no means an expert on this, despite the help I received, so feedback is entirely welcome!

Infranview has a batch edit thingie. As long as the arena's in the same spot in every picture, you can auto-crop each one -- and leave the originals intact if you want!

...Wait, what? Holy poo poo, Krying just managed a perfect shot on Ghost-Tree's head, and the molemarian just flops over, an arrow protruding from an eyesocket.

Seriously? My bowbold didn't brutally lose on the first round like every other time?

Praise be...whatever kobolds worship, I am saved!

Not the last I hope. Also, after the tourney I want to see the Krying Kobold and Bad Munki(Coward)'s builds side by side. I want to see why the first one barely finds his mark, and the second is the goddamn terminator.

I'll reveal my build right away, because this is depressing. :cry:

She has the following equipment.

She has the following skills.

The reason Archery is so high is that I bought 5 Bow at creation, and invested the rest in Archery for the extra accuracy. So...I have no loving idea. :psyduck: I can only assume the other bowbold has maxed Archery or more investment in Bow, despite wasting skill points on the cap.


Also seriously people, pronouns!

I think for now lineups should be left alone for now, since it would unbalance the season. Maybe once we hit the playoffs, we can allow lineup changing for the teams that make it through.

Bows are proving far more dangerous than whips in kills per gladiator, even more so when you factor in gamechanging nonfatal injuries.

Yeah, bows don't hit all that often or even very much, but drat when they do they can gently caress someone up. Like drat near every shot Krying has fired that hit has either caused crippling pain and slowed them down, cause crippling pain and knocked them out, or killed them outright.

Jimbo Akimbo has half again as many kills as the rest of the team put together: Is Bad Munki's gladiator the only one making an effort, or are the rest of the team demoralised by being associated with him?

Hey, if my bowbold aimed for the yeti instead, we possibly could have won that! Don't neglect bowbold contributions just because I can randomly cripple an enemy even though I don't get the kill.

So how many ranks do you need in archery for it to actually hit things?

The weird thing is Bowbold has had 10 Archery since the beginning.
