Recap & Extra Information For Newcomers!
“With the tournament fast approaching, we thought it might be wise to give a little update on our remaining available slots... And recap a bit of extra information our new friends from Fodlan might need to know! First, let’s take a look at our remaining slots.”
We are still taking entries from EVERYONE, but Fodlan muses are being given priority! You may enter up to two muses, but they must be in two different categories. Duplicates of existing entries are allowed, even within the same category! We may have two Edelgards duke it out in axes or one in axes and one in swords, for example!
Clash of Claws -- 2 slots
To enter the tournament, simply send the halidomhappenings blog an ask with your muse’s name and url if your blog is a sideblog, the category you would like to compete in, and your time zone! If you are a magic user, please include the element you will cast. If you are a ranged user, please include what you will be using. ( A bow, throwing knives, etc. ) You may also send in your mount’s species and name, should it be applicable.
Once your muse has been registered for a bracket, you may look for a favour and a seashell to give them a buff! The matches will be determined by the rolls of a d20, and having those two items on you will work to your benefit. For more information on how those rolls will work, check out this post!
A favour is a gift from one muse to another, usually a friend, expressing their faith in the competitor. It can be anything-- A brooch, a ring, a scarf... Anything that might have sentimental value. Your competing muse may only receive ONE favour, and it will give them a dire save bonus: A bad roll like a nat1 will be re-rolled! A muse may only give out one favour, but a mun may give out as many as they like so long as they use different muses to do so. Tournament competitors may give out favours as well, but they must be given to someone in a different bracket.
Once you have a favour ( you may of course, enter without one if you’re feeling brave! ) you may check in and select a seashell buff to use! Checking in is giving the mods permission to start rolling your matches. Please do not do so until you are entirely ready, as you may not come back and update us on things later.
To check in, send one more ask to the mod blog listing your muse’s name and sideblog if applicable, the category they are entered in, a description of your favour and who it is from (muse name and url!), as well as your seashell buff of choice. If you did not include a mount name and species before, you may do so now. And that’s that! You’re all set!
The seashell buffs are as follows:
LION’S PAW: gives you ADVANTAGE on one roll during match
SNAIL: gives your opponent DISADVANTAGE on one roll during match
CONCH: gives a +1 to one ability roll for any competitor (i.e. +1 on a strength contest in melee or +1 on a ranged archery score)
CORAL: gives you an extra strike / spell / projectile / flourish to possibly increase your overall score
CATCH OF THE DAY: feeling lucky? a random shell from the above will be assigned to each of your matches.
“Whew! All that was a bit of a mouthful... So how about it? Come on down and show us what the people of Fodlan can do! We look forward to seeing the best from each and every one of you!”
