HM you are a lenient DM 
I'd have let the PC get beaten to a pulp. Does that make me an evil DM?? Hmmm..

If you mean during the grapple, I was rather surprised HM DIDN'T do that, seeing how I got one hit KO'ed by Aidan's first adversary. Though, I'll admit to being a sore loser, and getting repeated mollywhopped everytime I get into a fight, for a character created to show fancy prowess and do cool-looking stunts would be a bit discouraging.
If you meant interrupting the fight with the scatter-bit, well... at that point it could have gone either way. Since I stunned and hit him decently hard during his stunned round, he'd either provoke an AoO standing up in front of me(potentially a bad idea) and attempt another grapple, or move away and stand up, which would let me get ready for him again, making it a rather 'even' match at that point.

Makes for a better story when Aidan and Rathman meet again. And I hope you aren't evil ML I like Kye keeping his skin whole lol
@Theroc you know that betting works differently for circle fights you don't bet on who is going to win you bet on the entertainment factor. You give the "bet man" money for being entertained, is why all the flipping and "dancing". Remember we wanted this to be gladitoral like.
Well, lol, then it's not really betting. It's more along the lines of WCW or RAW or whatever, where people pay to watch the fight, not bet on who wins. I don't mind that demographic, though that makes my biography somewhat wrong, as winning or losing is irrelevant if you're fighting to entertain. If someone loved seeing you get the snot kicked out of you, they'll pay up and you'll get paid... so success in the ring would no longer be relevant to the cashflow, which makes it strange that Aidan would have been so low on cash, unless the circles generally only bring in a few gold total in bets.

Ahh I thought of this and it is two fold, one people took advantage of Aidan not knowing the rules at first and two when you did "learn" a bet man is hard to come by at least one you casn trust not to run off with the winnings.
edit: and you make money based on your perform skill (which you didn't take member i said perform:mock combat lol)
HM
I actually didn't remember you saying I needed the skill Perform: Mock Combat to earn money, but something to remember for level three I suppose. Get some ranks in that and escape artist...
And the reasoning you came up with is pretty good, hadn't thought of that myself.
Your right i didn't say you needed it to earn money i said it was a "useful skill in circle fighting"
HM
lol, I figured being good at fighting counted a bit...
But yeah, I'll likely invest a bit in "Circle-fighting" or something. Mock Combat sounds like the fight isn't real... when... it is. It's just supposed to be a bit flashier than typical fighting.
