Duel rulesets

4

Every duel is fought under terms. A ruleset is a starting point, and each ladder tier sets the minimum it will accept: you can tighten the terms but never loosen them. Both sides accept the same proposal. Any wager goes into escrow when the duel is accepted and is paid out from there.

Open

Anything goes. Eat, drink, swap gear, regen.
