I remember on vBulletin and Invision Power Board there used to be RPG/level mods/add-ons that were pretty cool. Everything you did would add to an experience bar. You had stats that were tied to your level, and when you leveled up you became stronger. There were also items you could purchase to increase stats and abilities. On top of all of that, you could chose to battle another member. If they accepted the battle it would go to a page that would show you all of the actions taken. User 1 would attack and do X amount of damage. They could hit for just a glancing blow, a critical hit, or miss entirely. Then User 2 would attack and the same thing would occur. So the page would end up looking something like this:
User1 attacked User2 and dealt 24 damage.
User2 attacked User1 and missed dealing 0 damage.
User1 attacked User2 and critically missed injuring themselves for 106 damage.
User2 attacked User1 and landed a critical hit dealing 261 damage.
User1 used a Potion to restore 250 HP.
User2 attacked User1 and dealt 187 damage.
User1 attacked User2 and dealt 114 damage.
User2 attacked User1 and delivered the finishing blow dealing 193 damage.
I can't remember the specifics of how the battle system worked because it was so long ago, but I always thought that was such a cool feature.
I feel like this would be a pretty neat feature to bring to Xenforo 2, and it could even be integrated with DB-Shop and DB-Credits so that customers can purchase items (such as various weapons, armor, boots, jewelry, helmets/hats, etcetera) that would affect their stats/abilities when they dueled/battled. The experience bar, character stats, and items could go in the postbit. You could put the dual option in the postbit, or as an option next to the Reply/Quote buttons on each post, or on each user's profile page.
I know that it would be a lot of work, but I would gladly pay for an add-on that would do this. And since you already have the Shop and Credits add-ons you've already got a good chunk of this add-on implemented.
