why the crappy 15 000 gold armor restriction? You can barely have any armor at that cost. You're seriously advantaging the native feintspam bundles of sticks and agiwhores. Might as well call it a native tournament.
You're kidding me right? In native duels to wear cloth and die in basicly 1 hit. This is VERY far from that, but i supose that it is very different, from what you usually wear, since you're a complete tincan. If you have the skills however, then the gear should not matter much, since you should depend on your skill making sure you survive and don't get hit, instead of counting on the armor to soak it all up.
PS: Agiwhore duels is by far more fun than str duels, and that especially counts for c-rpg, since the combat is alrdy pretty slow. A strwhore duel would be an endurance test more than anything, not much skill involved to block at that phase.
