Ok, I still have energy to run another round. I do like the 5 path rule, however, and I'd like to let the people who wanted to play in the first contest but didn't have time to send a combatant in (like Jazzepi) participate, so I favor having a semi-new batch of combatants.

All combatants would have a maximum of 5 path levels to work with. You may choose chassis with more than 5 magic levels (ie Djinn), but I would be mod it down to a total of 5 for the combat (including empowerment; you would need to specify which levels it keeps.) All of the other rules from contest 1 would be unchanged.

People could choose to update/replace their combatants by sending me private messages with their builds, or leave them unchanged. Combatants that are left unchanged may lose magic paths in excess of 5, however.

I won't have time for the contest until the weekend, however. So it'd be run Saturday or Sunday night, probably.

Edit: To clarify, you have 5 maximum paths. You still only get 3 empowerments.
