Rulebook Info

[Bethany - (Staff)]

Since we released our abridged version in preparation of the final release of the rulebook, we'd like to take to the socials to go over some new things, and even refresh on the old! One of the first big changes you may notice is to our Non-Com section (seen on page 15 and 16).
"For injured players or those who
cannot fight or be hit with weapons, there is
a Non-Combatant Status. This is signified by
wearing a “HALO”, which is an orange
headband which may glow. It is highly
preferred for both your safety, and ease of
combat of those around you, that this

headband is always on your head and
extremely visible from all angles.
This HALO may be noticed In Game
as a blessing by the Light (or another power
or deity). As long as your HALO is visible and,
on your person, you may spend ten seconds
concentrating to call “Heal 1 by Light (or
other appropriate Trait).” Additionally, if
combat has become unavoidable (maybe
you’re stuck in a module or backed into a
corner by enemies), you may cross your
arms over your chest and loudly call
“Caution: Disengage” to temporarily back
others off so you can navigate yourself to
safety."

As always, feel free to e-mail our logistics team with any questions.

To cover more on the "Disengage" for the non-coms see page 16 of the rulebook.

"Etiquette: "Caution: Disengage" is a
last resort that is not meant to be a common
call. It is solely for the purpose of backing
people off from you if you feel you are in
danger of being hit or surrounded by
enemies. We understand the risk you may
take as a non-combatant and would like you
to feel comfortable playing the game as
much as possible.

The IG danger of being Non-
Combatant is that your HALO has weakened
your health. Anyone may point their weapon
at you within striking distance and state “I
drop you!” This drops you to the
Unconscious state for 5 minutes. You may
be killed by delivering a NO CONTACT Killing
Blow (usual rules, but do not touch!).
As a Non-Combatant, you cannot
actively participate in combat or use any
Attacks by any means. You may touch-cast
beneficial effects to allies or use beneficial
gestures and voice. You may not use any
harmful effects or attacks. NPCs or other
players may mistake you for an active
participant that may be attacked."

One of our new traits, STRICKEN, can be found on page 30. (Stricken has replaced diseased)

Stricken
While under this effect, any Body Points lost cannot be regained by any means, including potions, skills, spells, etc. Your last Body Point is not affected. Additionally, detrimental effects cannot be
Removed. Call "No Effect" to any Remove or Heal effects used on you. Only a "Remove Stricken" will end this effect. Stricken lasts until Removed somehow. Lesser Stricken lasts for 5 minutes.

Page 26 has a new trait called "Frailty" replacing "Curse".

Frailty
This effect causes you to take double
from all damage attacks. Frailty lasts until
Removed somehow. Lesser Frailty lasts for 5
minutes.
