User blog:PeaVZ108/PvZ Hero Wars RPG (Rules)

This is the rules for the upcoming RPG series. If you wish to try out the game, you can always come here to read the rules here. Since they are a little too long, I have compiled the rules here. If you need me to tweak the rules, I will consider your request, or you can make your request in the talk page below. This RPG series will be out in an hour.

Link coming soon.

How to join
Simple. You can state on who to go as, one plant hero and one zombie hero. The only requirement to enter is your knowledge in PvZ Heroes. In case you don't know the game, go check out this link:

PvZ Heroes

Make sure you know the different plants and zombies before you start. Note: The earlier you join the thread, the more choices of heroes you get!

Max users is 10. Later users can join as any hero, but will get no coin rewards, no leveling system and no access to shop.

Specially for Newbies
Go and have fun! It's okay if you make mistakes, as each new user who joins gets a free 3-day Penalty-Free ticket! This means that whatever mistakes you make, you can edit without losing any points in the game. More details below.

Also, newbies will get 20% extra coin rewards, regardless if they win or lose.

How to start
Before battle, you can choose to play as your selected plant or zombie hero. If you want to start a battle, input, "//Battling as (your hero)". The user who wants to play with you will say, "//Battling as (your hero)". If you are the second user to post this, you must go as your selected plant/zombie hero, depending on which hero the other user chooses. Note that there can only be one battle at a time!

Battle
Now for the fun part! If you play PvZH, you would know how a turn goes. That's right! The battle itself will last a turn, meaning it may take 3 - 5 posts, so there are enough battles for everyone! It comes in 3 phases, zombie phase, plants phase and zombie tricks phase.

During zombie/plant phase, if you want to play a fighter, you must input which lane they go to. eg, "Arm Wrestler in lane 4!" In order not to cause confusion, you must say things like, "1. Arm Wrestler in lane 4!" if you plan your first move, and so on. If you use an ability, you must say things like, "1. Berry Blast on Arm Wrestler!" If there are more than one of the same kind, say things like, "1. Berry Blast on Arm Wrestler in lane 4!" Traits and abilities apply.

Note: There is a special rule for Gravestone zombies. If you play a Gravestone zombie, you cannot state its name, but you can state its cost and what lane they are put in. After the user playing as plants makes his post, you can reveal your Gravestone zombie's name and input its ability, such as, "1. Sumo Wrestler moves Black-Eyed Pea in lane 3 to lane 4!" For random occurences, the host will announce the result. (Based on randomness.)

If you play as zombies, during your trick phase, your brain count will NOT reset. If you spend brains over your limit, you will receive a penalty, so keep your brain count on check!

Unlike PvZH multiplayer, if a player does not respond for some time, the turn automatically goes to the other user. The time limit for each turn is 24 hours. A player can only post after the opponent finalises his move.

You can only use plants/zombies according to your hero's respective classes.

The fight phase is replaced with results of battle. The one who scores more damage on the opposing hero will win! Hero health is negligible in this game, so damage dealt on hero can exceed over 20.

Coins/Points
The number of coins you win in a match is not random. Here's the breakdown on coin rewards:

Damage Dealt on Hero: 1 per damage point

Streak Bonus: 10% of total rewards per streak count

Plants/Zombies Destroyed: 5 per kill

Remaining Sun/Brains: 3 per sun/brain

Participation: Capped at 10.

The number of points you get in a battle is depending on the number of damage points you manage to get on the opposing hero. You also lose points if you get penalties, at 5 per penalty and a forced edit to rectify a mistake. This does not apply to anyone with Penalty-Free tickets. Penalties include:

1. Editing your moves after your opponent posts

2. Exceeding sun/brain allowance

3. Refusing a force edit

4. Announcing in a battle they are playing in

5. Not inputting the lane a fighter is played in.

6. Announcing a battle when at Lv3 and below. (Happens in the next battle they play in)

7. Using a superpower trick. (Extra penalty = Replaces card with a 1/1fighter)

Superpower tricks are not allowed in battle to prevent unfairness.
