| EDIT: Ok, fine, the rules aren't so clear on this. [:P]
If you win you can either:
a) Roll a medium item, or
b) Trade a medium for a major, or
c) Trade two minors for a major, or
d) Trade a major for a new major and a minor.
If you lose you can either:
e) Roll a minor item, or
f) Trade a minor for a medium, or
g) Trade a minor and medium for a major, or
h) Trade a major for a new major.
One important thing to remember, and from a brief conversation with Veliq, I think it's what messed him up, you can own more then your level+1 items, but you can't bring more then level+1 items to a battle. | |

| From the EC rules:
Gaining Magic Items: The winner of a battle gains a random magic item of medium power or may exchange a medium magic item he already owns for a random magic item of major power. The loser of a battle gains a random magic item of minor power, or may exchange a minor magic item he already owns for a random magic item of medium power, or exchange a medium and a minor magic item he already owns for a major item. If you lose a match, you may forego your minor magic item and instead trade in a major item in to roll a new major item. If you win a match, you may reduce your new medium magic item to a minor magic item and trade in a major item to roll a new major item. See the Magic Items section for random magic item tables and detailed descriptions of items.
There is however a couple of descrepancies between this paragraph, and two that follow under "After the Match". The "After the Match" ones need to be changed to match this I believe. | |

But isnt there an option to trade two minors and a medium (roll) for a major a win? thats equivalent anyway... | | Im out- find me on Hordelings if you want to chat. | |

It is equivalent, but by the rules it's not allowed. At least not according to that paragraph I posted. | |

| Ah, what you propose may be legal.
From Magic Items/Magic Items Strengths:
Throughout these rules, unless otherwise noted, "medium magic item" may be replaced with "two minor magic items" and "major magic item" may be replaced with "two medium magic items".
So that means when the rules earlier say that You can trade a medium for a major if you win, you can "replace" where it says medium with two minors and indeed exchange two minors and the medium you'd normally roll for a major if you win. | |

yeah. So I think itd be easier and much more clear if we just had a list like the one you laid out. | | Im out- find me on Hordelings if you want to chat. | |

That line though opens up a sick number of possibilities though. It means that theoretically a winner could roll two minors instead of a medium, a loser could trade in a major for two minors and a medium (or 4 minors), etc. | |

Well my take is there should only be 1 way you can ever get more than one item with a win. You trade a major for another major and get a minor. Thats it. Im not saying every possible way should be ok, just that we need a list of eveyr official way. | | Im out- find me on Hordelings if you want to chat. | |

Ok. So basically you want us to make up a list of all the possible ways and then get rid of the line that says "replace, blahblahblah,".
In theory that seems reasonable and I agree with you on not getting more then one item except if you win and trade a major for a new major and a minor. Now we just need others to agree with us. [:)] | |

| Perhaps this:
1) ITEM VALUE: Use of word minor and medium and major are interchangeable such that 4 minors = 2 mediums = 1 major or any equivalent that maintains these ratios 2) GAIN FOR EACH MATCH: The winner gains a medium, the loser gains a minor 3) TRADING IN: If items are traded in, they may be combined with the won item to roll instead for a single item 4) NO BANKING: item value not rolled for at the end of the match may not be saved or "banked" - exactly one item must be rolled for by each player at the end of each match. 5) EXCHANGING A MAJOR: By sacrificing at least the value of one minor, an existing major item can be rerolled for e new major item.
Will this (or a slicker worded version) will let the system work as we want it to without typing out all the permutations? | | There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don't. Reference Thread, H/W List, Champion of the Catoblepas | |

Yeah something like that. It took me two reads, but it works. The single item thing is what I missed on the first read. Might need the one major for major/minor on a win exception there. | | Im out- find me on Hordelings if you want to chat. | |

I think that system only has the 8 possibilities I posted above. It may be simpler just to list the 8 possibilities. | |

Instead of the added lines, I thinking changing line b to: Trade a medium, or equivalent value, for a major.
Since a medium is equivalent to two minors that would sum up the two situations. | | | |

| If we use the word equivalent, we have to add a line stating that 4 minors = 2 mediums = 1 major (or in this case at least that 2 minors = 1 medium).
Either way's fine w/ me. | | There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don't. Reference Thread, H/W List, Champion of the Catoblepas | |
