Fight Ring:



<img src="http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/1002/r72.bmp">

The two opponents start on the red and blue circles respectively.

The blue and red squares can be used as safe areas or for other purposes, as you like.

The ground is earth covered in cropped grass. A rope fence surrounds the area.

Tag-Team:

In a tag-team match, there are two teams of two. One fights in the ring while the other waits outside. The outside-ally may move freely around the ring (unless they encounter an enemy) and be tagged by an inside-ally, whereupon they may swap places. Tagging an ally is a move action that provokes an AoO on the tagger. Crossing the ropes is a move action that does not. You must be 5 feet from an ally to tag them.

When an inside-fighter leaves the ring, all summoned creatures, companions, familiars and similar must leave by the shortest route that does not cross an opponent. They may wait outside and return later, unless their duration runs out.

If an inside-fighter dies or is rendered unconscious or otherwise incapacitated, their ally outside may enter freely without being tagged. If the first ally should be revived, then one of them must leave.


Both of these are in draft stages. Send questions and adjudication issues to DM BadCatMan.

Slime Pit:



<img src="http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/9283/z88h.png">

This is a small area filled with slippery slime, oil, jelly or other substances.

All squares are under the effect of a permanent Grease spell (see below). Combatants start off with non-greased armour, weapons and equipment. Any who fall prone or are otherwise lowered to the ground are immediately greased all over. Combatants may grease themselves, an item or all over as a free action in a preparation round. Greased combatants or items remain so for the duration of the match, unless some means of cleaning is available (like Prestidigitation).

Oil, Mud or Jelly Wrestling:

This match takes place in an oil, mud or jelly filled area for the entertainment of all.

Magic (including spells, spell-like abilities and supernatural abilities) is banned. There are no weapons, armour, equipment, magic items or clothing. Bikinis and underwear are optional.

Dealing lethal damage is banned; only non-lethal damage is acceptable. The match is over when one combatant is knocked unconscious or surrenders. But that's not really the aim of this match.

The winner receives double the normal amount of XP. The loser receives half the normal amount of XP as if they had won. In this contest, everybody wins!

Seeing as we have lost access to several of the maps we had been using I have put together a couple of maps for use in the arena.  Below are the two that I have completed, one is a remake of the Close Quarters Map.

Feel free to use the image for any RoA Arena.  Rules and Legend are morket below the image.

Stone Circle


S: Stone Pillar 5'x5' x 8 feet tall
 This is granite, a few cracks, possibly rough enough to find hand holds.
 DC 20 Climb Check.

A: Stone Altar 4' wide x 5' long and 3' tall. (Oriented East West)
 This is also a granite feature.  There are chiseled Anchor points at each corner, producing a 'tongue' 3" in diameter and 9" long.

Teams fill the positions in order, such that if there are only two teams, the first two listed starting positions are used.
Team 1 Starts at Red
Team 2 Starts at Green
Team 3 Starts at Blue
Team 4 starts at Purple

To use this Map, copy the following and paste it in your Post:

Close Quarters Combat:


    _{* Points of Interest The arena boundaries are the outer walls, 30' above ground level, and 10' below ground level.
    * There is a transparent wall of force ceiling 30' above ground level.
    * One combatant starts at position A, the other at B.
    * The ground consists of rough marble (hardness 10, hp 10 per cubic foot (or 20 hp per inch over a 5 ft by 5 ft square) with a 6 inch deep layer of sand on top. The sand increases the hardness of the stone by +5, but you can scoop all of the sand out of a 5 ft by 5 ft area with a full round action (which prompts an AOO).
    * The sand is fine-grained and white, and does not impede movement. Walking on it grants a +4 circumstance bonus to Move Silently checks. The sand is too fine and light to be used as a weapon.
    * The walls are made of rough marble, and are 30 ft high. Climbing the side of a wall is DC 20.
    * The pillars are also made of rough marble. They are approximately 5 ft in diameter, and a 5 ft tall section of a pillar is 100 cubic feet. However, you can bring a pillar down by narrowing your focus a bit. The minimum damage you need to deal to bring a pillar down is 25 cubic feet, or 250 damage.
    * Breaking a pillar with sudden force is a STR check (Hardness 10, Hit Points 1000, stone, one piece: DC 30.
    * Climbing the side of a pillar is DC 20. When you can reach the top edge of a pillar, it is DC 10.
    * The top of the pillars are flat-topped and rough, and make good standing platforms.
    * Diagonal movement between the central pillars offers enough space for Large creatures to move unimpeded, and Huge and Gargantuan creates to move while squeezed.}
