Fighting System

Fighting System

To help make everything clear when characters on Destiny Calls fight as well as determining a winner; staff have developed a Fighting System based on Stats. This is to ensure that everything is done fairly and as transparently as possible. While we do understand that not everyone wishes or wants to fight with a Stat system, we want everything to be as equal as possible and have things be easy to understand.

There are currently seven different stats which include: Health, Strength, Agility, Accuracy, Wisdom, Willpower, and Charisma. Each stat ranges from 0-20 except for the Health stat which has a base starting point based an a character's age and size brackets. There are also quite a few advantages and disadvantages that will either be added or subtracted before a fight starts or after a fight ends depending on which one. We run a minimum of 2 Judges per fight to make sure that there is no bias and that everything is fair. While any member can decide to be a Judge, at least 1 staff member will always Judge a fight unless a member has been fully trained on Judging.

If there are any disputes about how a fight was judged, please bring it immediately to the staff's attention and there will be a meeting set up to respectfully discuss the dispute with all parties involved.

The Stats

These stats are stated by how they would work in relation to a fight; not necessarily what they mean outside of a fighting situation.

• Health – this is how much health your character starts out with based on the height, weight, age, and skill level of your character; for every hit that your character takes, the health stat will decrease
• Strength – is how strong your character is, how much damage your character will cause per hit; however not every hit that your character takes will hit, so keep that in mind
• Your character's strength = how much damage they will do in a fight.
• For example: If Billy has a Strength stat of 7, then for each successful attack on Bob will deal 7 points of damage to Bob if Bob fails to dodge.

[li]Agility – is how fast and agile your character is, how quickly your character can respond; can either dodge or add an additional attack with the next post is successful

[/li]

• 0 - 2 = 15% chance of dodging or adding an attack
• 3 - 4 = 25% chance of dodging or adding an attack
• 5 - 6 = 35% chance of dodging or adding an attack
• 7 - 8 = 45% chance of dodging or adding an attack
• 9 - 10 = 55% chance of dodging or adding an attack
• 11 - 14 = 65% chance of dodging or adding an attack
• 15 - 18 = 75% chance of dodging or adding an attack
• 19 = 85% chance of dodging or adding an attack
• 20 = 95% chance of dodging or adding an attack

[li]Accuracy – is how accurate your character’s actions are; the higher the accuracy, the more likely your character is to have a successful hit[/li]

• 0 - 3 = 25% chance of success
• 4 - 6 = 35% chance if success
• 7 - 9 = 45% chance of success
• 10 - 12 = 55% chance of success
• 13 - 15 = 65% chance of success
• 16 - 18 = 75% chance of success
• 19 = 85% chance of success
• 20 = 95% chance of success

[li]Wisdom – is how wise and intelligent your character is; plays the role of deciding whether to fight at all, how to fight, how to defend, avoiding injuries; can even try to stop the fight even as it is occurring; judges will roll dice to determine if the fight is able to be stopped or if injuries are avoided[/li]

• 0 – 2 = does not follow through with fights, gets injured easily, does not know how to defend or fight – has a 50% chance of giving up with 1st post of a fight
• 3 – 15 = will fight, knows how to fight, knows how to defend, still gets injured normally
• 16 – 18 = has a 25% success rate of stopping a fight and avoiding injuries (adds +2 to Agility per post if successful)
• 19 = has a 50% success rate of stopping a fight and avoiding injuries (adds +5 to Agility per post is successful)
• 20 = has a 75% success rate of stopping a fight and avoiding injuries (adds +7 to Agility per post if successful)

[li]Willpower – is how invested your character is to fight or their very lives; this will play an important role in determining how badly the characters wish to win; a character with low willpower for fighting will most likely not continue fighting if they sense they are losing; high willpower however, can quite possibly make a big difference towards winning against an opponent who may seem to have the odds in their favor[/li]

• 0 – 2 = will not fight for long, will almost immediately give up – has a 50% chance of giving up with 1st post in a fight
• 3 – 4 = will fight but will give up if they sense or feel like they are losing – has a 25% chance of giving up with 2nd post in a fight
• 5 – 15 = will fight to the finish regardless of if they will win or lose
• 16 – 18 = will add +2 points to overall points after the fight
• 19 = will add +5 points to overall points after the fight
• 20 = will add +7 points to overall points after the fight

[li]Charisma – is how persuasive, likeable, or disliked your character is; while this stat does not reflect fighting very much, the amount of in this stat will affect how your character is perceived directly after the fight or even during the fight; for instance, characters with high charisma can have others who are following them join in on the fight to create a larger scale battle or even a war (this goes for good and evil characters). Whereas a character with low charisma might find themselves not able to get any help for their injuries regardless of winning or losing[/li]

• 0 – 2 = will not be able to get help for their injuries after fight
• 3 – 10 = will be able to get help for their injuries
• 11 – 15 = has a 25% chance of 1 other character joining the fight to help them (can be before, during, or after fight)
• 16 – 18 = has a 50% chance of 1 other character joining the fight, a 25% chance of another 1 character joining the fight to help them (can be before, during, or after) AND has a 25% chance of stopping a fight or forcing the fight to continue (if evil aligned character)
• 19 = has a 75% chance of 1 other character joining the fight, a 50% chance of another 1 character joining the fight to help them, a 25% chance of yet another 1 character joining the fight to help them (can be before, during, or after), AND has a 50% chance of stopping a fight or forcing the fight to continue (if evil aligned character)
• 20 = can start wars if desired with multiple characters AND has a 80% chance of either stopping a fight or forcing a fight to continue (if evil aligned character)

Stats range from 0 – 20 in each category; except for Health. How many Stats your character starts out as depends on their age and skill level based on their Elemental and/or Unique Power Ranks.

• Age Stats: (Based upon character's age at time of creation and acceptance.)

This stat is different than the other stats in the fact that everyone will receive a base level Health Stat that is based on your characters size and age at the start of creation. Your character’s base Health Stat will be given to you upon acceptance and added to a list in the Staff Board so that we can keep track of everyone’s base Health Stats.
Health Stats range from 0 – 40 with every character starting out at 20 Health. But there are natural factors that will either increase or decrease a characters base Health. (A character's base Health stat will change throughout their lives as children grow into their adult sizes and ages; as well as when adult characters become elderly.)[/li]

Stat points are gained mostly through how active your character is around the site and what you choose to buy at the Shop for your character. With DC being so open to creativity and trying hard not to limit the possible paths that you decide for each of your characters; certain things will add to certain stats. Here are some ways to add Stat Levels:

• Going to the next age bracket – adds 10 stat points
• Increasing any new Elemental or Unique Power branch’s Rank – adds 5 stat points
• Adding a new Elemental or Unique Power branch – adds 5 stat points
• Certain posting and activity requirements found in the Destiny Dust Points section found: HERE

Please allow Staff 24 hours to determine the Judges. Once Judges are determined, please allow another 24 hours for the stats to be determined before a fight begins. Hopefully, no one will have to wait the full 48 hours but if there are multiple characters or facets for instance, determining stats could become a lengthy process. Thank you for your patience.
