Yeah that class was my design.

So I'll answer the questions.

Cats are better jumpers then Rabbits in the real world and I don't see why either Sex would be prevented to use high jumps of the gladiator style itself. I honestly did think of making the Gladiator style more specific but that's more so I could imagine so many class variants it wasn't even funny.

Gladiators are a class in other Games, hence why I named them Hapid gladiators. While they might be the common Gladiator in this World, I wanted a distinction to be made.

On one hand, I like the idea of divergent styles.

On the other hand, who says cats can't jump? Have you ever seen a cat jump? They're better at jumping than I am, I tell you what.



Actually, I was referring to the Spirit Shamans as the Cleric/Mage combo, but sure, whatever floats your turtle.



And yet kinda unsurprising, too.

ROUND SEVEN: FINAL ROUND

1 faction (1 per player)

--Each player will describe one faction that exists in the fantasy world. Each faction can be relatively small (a company of mercenaries, or an enclave of three powerful mages (and their lackeys, if any)) or large (a cult, or a guild of merchants (or thieves and/or beggars)). Each faction should have something that makes them a bit unique.

--DO NOT SUGGEST THINGS THAT ARE EXACTLY LIKE A FACTION THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN D&D/PATHFINDER/ANYWHERE ELSE.

--Top three recipients of votes will become officially canon as existing in the fantasy world.

And one more thing:

--There is no prohibition against your faction being evil if you want. The heroes gotta fight some sentient beings, sometimes, over more than just big misunderstandings, after all.

Can i just say, that the 3,2,1,0 system with no additional 0's just feels nice?

?

No additional 0s?

Or are you saying you like 321 better than when we do 332211? Or...? (What are you saying? I'm glad you approve, but of what...?)

No Additional 0s.

I don't get it. What does that mean?

I'm sorry for confusing you. The No Additional 0's does two things that feel nicer one it's a straight ranking list, thus emotions are easier to judge the overall pieces.

While the other aspect is I only feel responsible for one thing if it fails to go through. I feel more content in my even mild support, and am relieved when the 0 comes through anyway, even if it wasn't what I'd prefer of the bunch.

Waiting to hear back from someone about a question I have

ROUND SEVEN: FINAL ROUND: FACTIONS is up.

To help avoid the need for tiebreaking, give 3 points to one entry, and then 2 to another, and then 1 to another. (It may not succeed in avoiding a tie, but at least it seems fair.)

PM me your votes.

Do NOT vote for your own submission at all.

One more person left to vote...

Is it just me, or does everyone else see the interconnection between those 3 groups?

And, the round is over, and all voting is over.

There was a tie, but breaking it didn't involve my entry, so I broke it myself.

So, I can now announce who's won this little contest...

...I don't actually KNOW who's won the contest yet, because I haven't done the math. It's READY to do, but, like, so...

...How much transparency do you want, here?

1. TOTAL TRANSPARENCY: Walk us through each step of the math, GM.

2. VERY THOROUGH NON-TRANSPARENCY: Walk us through each step of the math, but don't reveal who submitted which entries.

3. THOROUGH NON-TRANSPARENCY: Show us exactly what the final vote totals add up to.

4. WHO CARES ABOUT TRANSPARENCY: Just tell us who won, GM! I don't even care who came in second place!

TOTAL TRANSPARENCY, i prefer knowing the exact math, and knowing who goes to which submission means I can root for someone else.

Someone give me another opinion. If it's the same as Xadir's, I'll do it that way.

Ditto.

Regardless who won or lost, I guess we all contributed to a new fantasy setting, for good or bad...

I don't believe there were any stakes either, so the World's all that's really important in the end.

Personally, I suspect I'll get third place since that's where I seemed to fall most of the time.

IF my math is right, I almost caught up to Daryus in the end... but not quite.

Is my math right?

I'm going to make a sheet, to double Check Real Quick.

Ok, i didn't just double check, because I saw I got a different result, and had accidentally missed one, while I was triple verifying that particular result, so I did it a different way by simply grouping all Entries as well.

Both Went the Exact Same.

Daryus, and The Gm had 67
I had 60
Balance had 54
World had 51.

I might be wrong, but I think I have done enough verification, and made it fairly easy for anyone to double check my results, by grouping all entries together, and allowing them to see the math equation. Heck, I triple Checked both of the Ways I did the Math.


So, The Gm did catch up to Daryus, he didn't surpass however. As Both Daryus, and The Gm Won. And as I had long since Suspected I got third.

Also I do believe something Else is amiss.

I believe there is one point unaccounted for.

For every contest 30 points total was awarded, for all double contests you can treat them as two separate contests, for a total of 10.

Each person gave out 6 points during each contest, and 5 people played.

Now, no matter which reading you go, even if I'm wrong on the totals at the End, an interesting point arises, both mine and the Gm's were off by 1, 1 point is unaccounted for, and very well might be what solves the Tie.




For math purposes.

Gm's Results
300-68-65-63-59-44=1 you can just look at the 3 odds, to see it doesn't equal an even.

Daryus 68
Me 65
Xadir 63
Balance 59
WO 44




My Results

300-67-67-60-54-51=1 Same parity issue, easily identifiable even without going through the math.

Daryus 67
The Gm had 67
I had 60
Balance had 54
World had 51.


Edit: Heck, I can even prove which round the issue propped out on.






(Xadir) Trait Stones: 10
(Balance) Star Steel: 6
(Me) Belt and Scabbard of Thunderbolt: 5
(Daryus) The Shell of Orkan-Mahru: 4
(World's) Advisor's Stone: 4



It was this one Contest, where a parity issue Arised.

Note it should be impossible for only one vote to have an odd number.

OK, I am fine with the tie. Haha. I forgot there was this part. If I had recalled it, I wouldn't be surprised as many of my ideas got through to the canon.

Interesting results.

Though, Now there's a mystery afoot. The mystery of the missing point.

Possibly a result of just missing a vote? Guess it might matter. I was partaking more to build a world.

However, if that missing point is nagging at you, gotta recount that round. Not sure how organized everyone else was with voting, but all my votes were cast using a single PM thread, so mine should be easy to track.

Gotta admit, there were more than one round where I didn't want to vote for third place at all.

Single pm

3:
2:
1:

Should be easy to do, for me as well.

The Second bit is Quite Harsh.
