No Wyrms into death match !
I don't think they can, without hand slots.

Well... It looked like Panther was in doubt...

Btw, I'm reasonably certain that I've seen plenty of instances of critters without handslots participating in the deathmatch; not in the latest patch, undoubtedly, but has it been changed at any point, then? Wouldn't really make sense to me.

Why shouldn't the wyrms be allowed in the deathmatch, if it's possible? I should suggest instead giving the reigning deathmatch champion a limited veto, or other diplomatical benefit: it's a unique event and as it is, no one is interested in it. Something could be done to make it more cool by house rules, just to make things more interesting. Then, I guess nothing stops the Council from passing a statement that everyone must pay 100g to the winner of the match, if that's whats desired, so it really needn't be enforced in the rules... Just thinking out loud, never mind me; I'm guessing this will be a highly interesting game! (And a terrible timesink, so not for me, but still.)

OK, I'll take Marignon. I knew it was inevitable when I realized I had named not only my pretender, but also each of his two heads.

If puffyn hosts another wiki for this game, I'll do my share in helping to get it organized.

WfBS: I believe Zen 4.0 is what is called "Conceptual Balance" over in the mod forum (and is now at 5.0).

Wyrms in deathmatch

- just tested: A Wyrm can enter deathmatch (o.c.). It gets 100Exp + x Exp (from hits). It does not get the trident, though.

- Haven't tested if it's obliged to enter then next deathmatch, though

- a bug: A blind Wyrm can hit his adversary regularly, at least in deathmatch

Why not
Why should a Wyrm attend a deathmatch? It's a WYRM. The ruler-of-all. It doesn't have to prove it can eat others for breakfeast, right? Besides, such activities are such common - how could any self-respecting Wyrm attend to them and go back to the council to meet his kin?

Frankly, I searched for something -however small- that would speak for not playing a Wyrm in this game.

Dear Pasha,

I would recommend that you address me with all due respect, for otherwise I might be annoyed with you. Have you checked if you have the ability to participate in this game without creating a conflict of interests, given your other activities? Did you register your possession of special abilities (we shall label those abilities as being lawyerliness) in Council? Did you check the penalties for defamation against a Justice of the Council? I thought so.

Therefore, it is the opinion of the court that the aforementioned Pasha should adopt a more fitting demeanour: failure to comply with this ruling shall result in the termination of the offending individual.
