The other type of PvP is something very unique and Conanesque, and it's simply called "brawling". It is only turned on for drunken players who frequent bars and inns. Here, you fight with other stats than the regular level abilities, and the system is based around how much you drink, what type of brawling weapon you're holding (table, bottle, stool, etc.) as well as other abilities. The object here is simply to drink yourself satisfyingly intoxicated, and smash down your fellow bar-brawling drunkards in an all out fun and games setting. Nothing serious, only for fun.
Then, you can no longer fight with your normal abilities, spells, levels, skills etc. All normal RPG rules are totally thrown out the window, as you toss those drinks down. You are yourself, alone with your wits (or lack thereof) and a barstool in both hands. A level 1 is as powerful in drunken brawling mode as a level 80.
You swing, score and reduce the consciousness of the opponent. Drinking a lot might make you less conscious, but then again, you might chose to disregard any puny glass bottles broken over your head. How much, how fast and what you drink make you fine-tune that drunkenness. During this stupor, you actually get access to other special moves that are not available in normal combat, like nasty head butts, haymakers and so on.
If you drink the right type of beverage, you might get something called "bliss" that will reduce all damage done to you. You might also "sway" a lot more, making you harder to hit. But your "focus" and "brawling" skill might go down, along with your ability to hit. You fight, kick, brawl and pass out. It is all part of the normal life in a Hyborian bar or inn.
