Combat
Citadel LRP
Hit points are global; you lose at least one hit whenever you are struck. If any effect brings you below 1HP, your HP are set to 0.
States of Being
| Normal | You are on more than 0HP. You may use any abilities that do not explicitly say otherwise. |
|---|---|
| Dying: | You are on 0HP. You are conscious, but must fall or crouch, and are unable to move about (except for reasons of safety) and may only use abilities which are explicitly possible whilst dying. If you receive a CURE call, then you may get back up and continue on as normal. After your bleed count (normally 90s) you become Terminal. You may talk and scream dying. |
| Terminal: | You’re going to die and can’t use any abilities, but you can eke out that last piece of wisdom or final scene before you go. You may not move under your own power. Healing has no effect on you. |
Call List
You may only make one call per second. If a call is ranged, it has a maximum range of 10m. You make a call by making a melee blow and saying the words that make it up, ie “TRIPLE”, or by saying the target and then the rest of the call ie “You in the white mask, STRIKEDOWN” or “WIDE MUTATE”. You may “imply” a SINGLE, foregoing saying it; if you are hit by a LARP-safe weapon and no call is made, assume that the call is SINGLE. Likewise, all Arrows and Bolts deal “CRUSH”, it is not necessary to say this, and if you are hit by an arrow, then you should take the CRUSH call.
In melee, you are only allowed to make one blow per second. Please do not “drumroll” by tapping your weapon quickly against the target. It is acceptable to parry and block melee blows, but please do not attempt to parry arrows; if you are lucky enough to be using a shield, you may block them.It is completely unsafe to parry arrows, for everyone near you as well as you. If you accidentally parry an arrow, please act as though it hit you.
You may not make more than one call per second. This includes the implied SINGLE when you tap someone with your LARP-safe weapon. A single call which combines two effects, ie “TRIPLE STRIKEDOWN” counts as a single call.
