Editing Morturi: Beyond the Arena (section)

===Who fights?===

Unlike an Arena Battle, where the number of Gladiators is set, an outside Battle will have participants determined by circumstance, which requires a judgment call by the Imperator. As a rule of thumb, its worth allowing each School to decide whether send each of its Gladiators out "on a mission", or to "keep them back at the school", and to allow only gladiators that are kept back to defend against any attacks on the school.

Additionally, the Imperator may allow additional warriors who are not Gladiators to take part in a battle. For example, three or four thugs of the Peregrine Collegia might accompany a school that has the right contacts. The Imperator can stat these warriors as he wishes, but generally he should make sure he does not allow them to overshadow true gladiators in fighting skill. For example, a typical "Peregrine" might be armed and armoured like a ''Gallus'' or ''Secutor'' gladiator, but have no ''Tricks''.
