Powerful Magical Weapon:
Powerful magical weapons are needed to aid you in your battle against all opposing forces. Your character “MUST” have a single powerful magical weapon. Weapon examples include: sword, dagger, Necklace, amulet, chopsticks, funny item, coin, closed box, slippers, belt, helmet, armor, spoon, teeth, book, eyeballs, etc. You can only have a single extremely powerful magical weapon but you are also allowed to equip your hero with additional magical gear for protection.

I’m just wondering, i’m making a clericon, and my powerful magic weapon would be a staff that can greatly enhance her healing over thousands of troops, would that work as a weapon? knowning that normally weapon is used to destroy or curse or whatever the enemy?

#64

Just a little question. Did the Norms just use magical Weapons or did they use Guns (MGs or MPs) too ?

#65

I have a quick question about the Main-Challange Rules:

We are allowed to model pets for the character.
But do horses or something similar on which the character can ride on count as pets or is it restricted to make something like that?

#66

Hey Ktian,

The rules say:

Pets and steeds are allowed for all races.

So they are allowed - and if you are doing a 3d version, the triangle count of 10k includes the pet/steed.

thx a lot lostpencil :slight_smile:

#68

I’m considering entering this time around depending on my time.

One question: For the Demon Race, does the Demon Prince have to be male? I know Prince is male and all, but seems a bit limiting if it is…

Anyway… hoping to join the battle.

Do we have to use both the logo and the color scheme within the project?
Can we use just one or the other?

As for the colors are we allowed to incoorperate other colors into the textures or are we restricted to the red black and grey colors???

A question regarding the rules / my idea.

I am planning on creating an Invoker, an old female elf whose weapon is a time piece. Her weapon is an elaborate pocket watch with which she can summon up a magical image/hologram of a demon over her head. She carries various cogs on her belt with which she can change the shape and form of her illusion to suit any situation.

‘Stalker - This character has mastered the art of magic to aid his/her stealth, information gathering.’

My character is stealth; she infiltrates behind enemy lines by projecting an image of the enemy to blend in.

I imagine her walking through the landscape as this frail old lady, her suroundings appearing none eventful. However if you get too close and happen to see her from the right angle, what seem like parts of her environment combined with the projection from her watch, create this mighty illusion of her enemies.

Is this breaking the rules? They clearly state you can not combine races/characters. My character is an elderly female; however I can see how this might be seen as otherwise.

Id appreciate someone letting me know if this bends the rules too much.

2 questions about cyborg~
It’s a “comprised of living body parts fused together with mechanical additions”,so could the “living body parts” be any living creatures like animals or even an organ?
It didn’t mention it’s size, so could it be very large as a boss-size?
thank you!:thumbsup:

Sorry if this is at the wrong place, but I’d like to rename my thread title

Would like to switch “Gnome Invoker” to “Hedgehog Warlord”

Thank you!

It seem to have contradiction between french version of the rules and the english one…

Your character “MUST” have a single powerful magical weapon. Weapon examples include: sword, dagger, Necklace, amulet, chopsticks, funny item, coin, closed box, slippers, belt, helmet, armor, spoon, teeth, book, eyeballs, etc.

The french one:

Les objets magiques qui « NE COMPTENT PAS » pour des armes sont : Pendentif, Amulette, Baguettes, Objets amusant, Pièce de monnaie, Boites, pantoufles, ceinture, Casque, armure, cuillère, dents, livre, globe, etc.

To translate the french sentence: objects like books, box, etc, doesn’t count as “the powerful magical weapon”.

I hope the english one is the good one, because I want to make the book as the weapon of my character…

Somebody know if a book, or other such objets as box, etc, could be the weapon?
What are the good rules? There are some contradiction between the rules in french and english…

EDIT: rules have been corrected. Good news. Book can be a weapon! :smiley:

update I got it figured out. For some reason it just wasn’t posting from my own computer. It worked on another. My internet connection is weird.

Hi Heavyness,

I attempted multiple times since about 3 this morning to start up my thread but I just don’t see it. Whenever I submit my thread it goes to a link with a blank page. Do you know why this is happening?

hi everyone,

I’m very excited about DW. I just had one question. I read the entire FAQ and couldn’t find a clear final answer on this and I just want to double check on this.

I know in the rules it states:

“Your character MUST possess your team’s colors and/or your team’s insignia/logo.”

Does this mean I can enter representing CGSociety make a character with a cool palette (blue and green) and just by placing the CGSociety team logo on my character I comply with that requirement even though my color palette is clearly not CGSociety’s one?

Cheers everyone and good luck.

The class says “Demon Prince - Demon Princess”, so go for it!

BTW, I’m rooting(rotting?) for you mindrot, you rock :smiley:

#78

hey is it alright to have special effects like magic, fire, darkness to be coming up off the pedestal? im thinking of making some poly planes coming up like a black fire off of the pedestal. is this allowed and if so would it be counted as part of the pedestal or will i have to include that into the poly count and texture maps of my character? Im doing a demon prince with darkness as his power

#79

can the demons and norms have mechanical bits, or do they have to be devoid of mechanical parts?

#80

You can’t mix races so no you can’t put robot piece on norm or demon
…but ask the staff to be sure
