I lend Stephen 1 gold

A word about helmets:

When I say "negate" a critical hit, I mean that ordinarily if someone rolls a natural 20, then he gets double the damage for that hit.  But if the recipient of that hit is wearing a helmet, he has a chance to make that regular damage instead of double.  It doesn't eliminate the blow fully- it just makes it normal damage.

Also, I meant for the helmet's success rate to be 40%, not 50%. Embarrassed

Ian, in light of this, if you want a refund, I will buy the helmet back from you for full price as long as it is unused (tag still on it, no stains, esp. blood etc.)

Sorry for any confusion.

Shoot, missed this too. Ummm, if I survive against Snow Dog, give me a chance to change use my point and then I will foolishly accept. (In The Cage...let me out of this caaaaage!)

I ACCEPT WITH OMMADAWN, using his MIGHT SPEAR™ and GAUNTLETS OF VICTORY™ and hopefully some loaded dice because this does not look like a fair fight.


So this is In the Cage then?

I understood its usage but this reduction to 40% does bother me. Not sure what I want to do. How about a price reduction?

I'll think about it. If  I  haven't  said anything by the time of my fight  you can presume I  am keeping it.

Critical hits are so rare, that I wanted the the helmet to be slightly less than 50%, but wound up typing 50% anyway.  I meant it to be 7 gold, 40%.  But correcting my mistake now was not fair to you, so I wanted to give you the option to get your money back if you wished.

I will say this though- toward the end of a match, a critical hit often means the difference between a dead warrior and one who lives to fight another day.

Smarty's dead meat Wacko

I still don't quite get the betting thing - If I were to bet 4 gold on David with 1:1 odds, if he won how much would I get back? 4 gold?

Yes, 1:1 is a return that matches your bet.  If you want to calculate bets go here:

http://www.betting-directory.com/bet-calculator.php

Note that the return box includes your original wager (subtract your original wager to determine the winnings).  For the purposes of this game, round up or down since I only use whole numbers.

Of course.

Maybe, maybe not.  Remember that they are on The Pinnacle.  One hit has a 20% chance of sending someone to their doom.
