A little History about this Event .

My original Idea for this Event was to just use the Bare Fist just like in a Box Fight . 
In a Box Fight you don't Roll around and wear Helmets or a Shirt . 

I came up with all these ridiculous Damage Boosts like the Calamity Ring, Thorn Gauntlets, Power Within and the Dusk Crown Ring so that the Fights won't last too long .
That's why i didn't want to use any other Rings like FaP or Wolf . 

People didn't like that Idea so we decided to use unupgraded Caestus .

More Fist Weapons, i could see that happen .

No Claws however since they have the Bleed Effect and that would break this Event since you cannot roll .
I wouldn't mind allowing the DBS but how do we balance it with the Caestus along with the low Health ?

Seth Winternight wrote:Here's my attempt at some backstory/intro (it's a tad long):
 
 Upon their initial adventures into Lordran, Twilight Sparkle and her following of non-vampiric sparkling allies became a vastly-growing covenant in name of their magic... Happiness. The inhabitants of the desolate lands saw warmth and comfort within the eyes of this enigmatic pony, whom after munching on the grass for breakfast, made plans to spread her happiness even further. Above all who welcomed these 4-legged delights to Lordran, were the Exiled of Ariamis... And the cheeky band of the Karmatic Gremlin Gang. Netherless, all of them wanted to see a spread of fun and cheerfulness in their own ways.
 
 However, there are places in Lordran filled with so much hate and despair, that this seemingly polar-opposite magic repelled any and all atempts of kindness and compassion. Twilight recognised Izalith as the cornerstone to this hate and this in turn made her feel like a grumpy pony, so she chewed on some chocolate-flavoured dung pie (which was most delicious) to make herself happy again. To break these barriers of hate and sadness, the cult would have to imbue their own magic into their weaponry and tear apart these walls of violent emotion. Until it dawned on Twilight: killing people is bad, that is not what they want. So with the sheer brilliance that only the Cult of Friendship harbors, a plan was devised and a challenge to be made.
 
 Realising that the Cult of Friendship's magic is still being ridiculed by many defiant creatures, Twilight Sparkle admitted that their magic needed to be tested and proved of its worth to denizens of Lordran. Twilight (via way of the Orange Soapstone) laid out the challenge to every soul to fight in a contest of strength and willpower, blessed by the magic of the cult. They would meet Sparkle and all other participants at the ruins of the demons, where reside The Ceaseless Discharge, one of the most hateful creatures in Lordran. This would be a series of 1on1 matches in a showcase of respect for one's opponant and friendship to one-another. Ceaseless and his stumpy legs wouldn't be able to stop the display, since his phobia of grey things prevents him. Twilight thought to herself that this sheer display of the polar-opposite, would make the Ceaseless Discharge cringe and thus, reduce his defences to the CoF's almighty love machines. In doing this, Ceaseless may become human again... Or even a brony himself! The thought of this prospect made Twilight salivate with joy, to the point she began skipping on her walk. If they could bring down and reform the Ceaseless Discharge with this kind of magic, then the souls of Lordran, as well as Twilight's allies, would recognise their skill and power equal and beyond their own.
 
 "Who doesn't love love? Who doesn't love ponies? Lordran will become a happier place all the same. Chocolate dung pies for everyone!... Now where am I going to get chocolate?"
 
 And so the challenge was laid out and Twilight Sparkle awaits the response. Many good times were to be had, memories made and love shared. Indeed, there would be no end to this lovefest... Plus, everyone loves chocolate.

Nice backstory

Remember, they don't taste like dung... 'Cause it's chocolate.

Good job, with the story Seth.
