The Rules of the Core Coliseum
Welcome traveller! In these pages, you will find the rules for participating in the great Core Coliseum of Sagaris. These rules are divided into three sections:
Introduction and Basics: This section explains what the Core Coliseum (CoCo) is all about, how it works, and the minimum you'll need to play. We hope that everyone will read this section, although if you're really in a hurry to get started, you can make do with only our Quick Start Guide.
Player Rules: Once you've settled in, these rules cover everything you need to know about playing in the CoCo, including advanced character creation rules, fight formats, and so on.
Pitlord Rules: When you're ready to begin running fights yourself, or, if you prefer, running quests or campaigns, these are the rules for you. They cover how to run a fight, assign rewards, determine monsters and other hazards, and the like.
If you still have any questions after looking through the rules, please post in the Core Coliseum Tavern, or if you have a question that requires special attention, you can send a message to the Game Master.
We hope you enjoy your stay!
