As expected in a land full of adventurer’s—almost —everybody loves a good fight! Between adventures, a character may choose to take part in the local fight pits to earn a living for themselves, and maybe a name as well. In the DT safe zone there are fighting arenas a character can compete in. Characters can face off against other combatants wanting to test their abilities.

Location

Pit Fighting can always be done in Daring Heights, Fort Ettin, or Port Ffirst. Each settlement contains its own unique randomised roster of NPC combatants.

With DTDM agreement, Pit Fighting can be done anywhere there's a suitable population or temporary gathering to provide enough opponents and a betting audience.

Resources: Entering the Pits

The Pit Fighting DTA can be carried out by spending either 1 Light or 1 Taxing DTA slot. Only 1 Light DTA slot per DT week can be spent for the Pit Fighting DTA. The fights here are purely martial, focusing on the combatants ability to fight. No magic is allowed but Magical weapons are permitted.

Resolution: There Can Be Only One

The character takes part in a series of fights culminating in one last contest against an NPC from a roster of fighters. The character will make three competing checks against their opponent, a Strength (Athletics) Check, a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check and a special Constitution check using your highest Hit die as a modifier. The character can replace one of these checks with a weapon attack modifier.

Performing the DTA involves using a specific command within the Kantas Downtime channel (this is also pinned in the same channel), which executes the command with your linked character sheets.

!kdowntime pits <light OR taxing> <dh OR pf OR fe> <Athletics Mod> <Acrobatics Mod> <Max value of character’s largest Hit Die> "<description>"

When executing the command, make sure to remove any <>

If desired, one of these three values can be replaced with the Hit Mod of one of the character’s weapons.

dh = Daring Heights pf = Port Ffirst fe = Fort Ettin

The command uses your currently active character

!kdowntime pits without specifying light or taxing will automatically run the light slot version of the command.

If you have a word with an apostrophe in the description, such as it's, put a \ before the apostrophe (e.g. it\'s).

EXAMPLE: !kdowntime pits taxing dh 8 8 10 "Jimothy steps into the pits!"

Pit Fighting Results

The number of successful opposed checks determines the winnings according to the Pit Fighting Results table. Winnings are halved if a Light DTA slot was spent.

Characters carrying out this DTA with a trained pet might gain extra benefits. See the commands descriptions in the Pet Training section for details.

Complications

Fighting for money naturally may come with its own complications. Shady characters trying to fix fights, accidental injuries and sore losers are not unheard of among the fighters. Every 1 Light DTA slot spent fighting brings a 5% chance of a complication. Every 1 Taxing DTA slot spent fighting brings a 10% chance of a complication. The Pit Fighting Complications table lists complications that might arise for characters.
