Tier 2 fights are the most common type of fight on Ardent. They are dice-rolled, which means that the content of your posts does not determine the result of the fight.
In Tier 2 fight posts, you must be actively fighting an opponent in your posts; you cannot be running away, trying to flee, or just lying there. However we do highly encourage creativity in these posts.
When you initiate a Tier 2 fight, you must post the fight form that can be found on your character's profile. You cannot add anything that hasn't been added by staff (post in Maintenance if anything is missing!), but you may retract any information you don't want rolled. The fields you can remove if desired are: Accessories, Companions, Mutations, Specialty. Disabilities may not be removed from a fight form.
Removing any other information from a fight form, or changing it, may result in a fight being automatically defaulted in your opponent's favor.
Tier 2 Rolls
Tier 2 fights have 4 rolled categories: Attack, Defense, Agility and Perception.
Attack is how well you deal damage, Defense is how well you can take a hit, Agility is your ability to evade and move quickly, and Perception is your knowledge of the terrain/observational skills during a fight.
A 100-sided die is rolled for each section to determine base scores. Character-specific bonuses are then applied as a percentage of these scores. The adjusted scores are summed to give the final score for the entire fight, not per round. So, don't wait for judges to decide each round before proceeding!
