Need Help! RP combat?

Post by Dalorsa15

So, today I had an IC interview for this guild I've wanted to join, and part of it was combat. But not with rolls, just using emotes. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this? By the way I rp on a mage.

Use /e and do the fight that way.

Example:

/e raised his hands, fire crackling around them, and pushed them forward. A great wash of flames erupted from them, streaking toward his target.

Or some such thing.

Wow, I had a long response typed up and then my browser refreshed so I lost it. Yay me =D So I'ma just paraphrase all the crap I had typed up instead.

When RP fighting with no rolls (which I hate, always thought it was clunky and an uncreative way to do it), remember that since you aren't relying on luck and numbers, to strive for balance. You don't always wanting to be dodging every attack that's sent your way. Your character should be getting hit.

Also keep in mind the strengths and weaknesses of your character. For example, since you're a mage, you aren't going to be able to break somebody's arm as well as a warrior. However, you probably will be more agile than said warrior and you'll probably be trying to keep your distance from the warrior while you fight.

Know when you've lost. Strive to win if that's your purpose, but you should always toss in the towel when you're character's been bested. Do not try and godmode your way out of an obvious defeat. If you aren't aiming to die, surrender or run.

Besides that, also be creative with your emotes and how you work them. Don't cram a bunch of attacks into one emote, let the battle flow a turn at a time.
