A Majestic Dwarf

Hello,

This is inspired by Kjetta's original Alternate beginnings, and in fact will involve one of the characters that took part in the event as well. Basically, I have recently started playing my Gladiator once more and as there isn't a Pit Fighter or Gladiator in the job System, I would like to make a PC scene of gladiatorial pit fighters.

To start with I plan on my gladiator training low level gladiators and doing some exhibitions, perhaps managing a team against other teams. Maybe we could set up some sort of Gladitorial league or something. When not fighting other teams there will be training sessions and perhaps DM spawned critters.... or even player spawned critters.

I want the fights to last a while, hence the low level and perhaps the use of no damage weapons. This will give the combatants time to RP the fight a little. Will also give the crowd time to cheer, boo, throw stuff, make bets etc etc.

I also would like to Issue Gladiators equipment so that we can have something similar to the Roman types of Gladiator, though I would rename them and redo the flavour a bit to fit the Forgotten Realms feeling. I may even come up with a few Amian specific gladiator styles.

But all this needs players to join in. I would need Potential gladiators, perhaps managers for other teams, mages to summon creatures for the teams to train against and fight. So is anyone interested?

I've got a Sorceror who'd be happy to give low levels stuff to train on. Curious; if you die in a Gladiator brawl, is it going to be RP'd as perma-death? That would allow for the low leveled characters to stay low leveled. New people flooding in.. Perhaps one day, for those who survive, they get to be level 30's! *Dun, dun, DUUUN!*

I'd love to make a proper Roman type gladiator. Wouldn't mind having it die a perma death in some large event either.

What FR nations have gladiators, out of curiosity?

The only place that I know of that has them is Thay, and they are all monsterous humanoids that perform for their creators pleasure.

Nah thats the Thayvian Gladiator Prestige Class your talking about. There is also a normal Gladiator Prestige class avaliable in Sword & Fist. They can be anyone, or anything. They can be the Drow's slaves, forced to fight to the death in deathmatches. An arena could exist in Skullport and within' this arena could hold gladiatorial matches to the death between slavers, the rich or those who simply like slaughter.

Gladiators can exist any place that has a perchance for that sort of entertainment, or any place that endorses slavery. Heck a noble in Neverwinter could have an arena within' the dephs of his house where Gladitorial fights take place.

Doesn't even really need to be slavery, but yeah, I believe most of the gladiatorial places in FR do endorse it. This would mean places like Thay, Unther, not Mulhorand, Chessenta for sure I believe, Luskan probably does some and I imagine Calimshan does too.

There's is kind of a cage and fighters in the sanctuary of sin area. Although it has a dead referee type person in the cage and it's kind of small. But some of the NPC's talk about betting on them as well.

No. They're fine. They are within the grounds of completely common knowledge.

Tauronemhet and House Osiris would gladly sponsor/manage a Team made up of Mulan (Chessentans, Mulhorandi, Untherites), Rashemi and Turemi.

No idea. It was just bought up as all. I assume it could possibly for people who want to create a backstory of gladiator life.
