Calls

2016-01-14T19:34:50Z

Sirgnome: /* IC Calls */

A “Call” is an {{gloss|OC}} word or phrase used to describe the in-game effect of an action.

You do not hear them {{gloss|IC}}.

You may make a maximum of one call per second.

== OC Calls ==
{{gloss|OC}} calls are used to tell the players (not the characters) what is going on, and in cases of emergency.

==== STOP THE GAME ====
The most important call in LARP. STOP THE GAME means there has been an real-life injury, someone has lost their glasses or there has been another {{gloss|OC}} emergency. Anyone may call STOP THE GAME and should do so if needed. As soon as STOP THE GAME is called, the action suspends entirely, everyone should stop moving, and appropriate action is taken. Repeat the call to anyone who has not noticed. Once the emergency is over, if the game is to continue then people are asked to return to where they were when STOP THE GAME was called and TIME IN restarts the action.

==== MAN DOWN ====
This means exactly the same as STOP THE GAME. It is included here as an alternative because it is in common usage in many systems, so people may call this instead of STOP THE GAME. STOP THE GAME is preferred where possible because we're not all men.

==== TOO HARD ====
Call this if you've been hit too hard by somebody. Anybody can make a mistake so try and be polite if it happens and use this call rather than a string of abuse! If it's happening a lot, speak to a ref. If somebody says 'Ow' and acts in pain but doesn't say this, hopefully they're roleplaying the hit.

==== TIME IN ====
The call to start roleplaying. Once TIME IN is called, the game has started. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME OUT ====
The call to stop roleplaying. Once TIME OUT is called, the game is over for that evening. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME FAFF ====
The call to continue roleplaying, but not move forward. On linears, occasionally additional time is needed to get a big encounter ready; in this case, TIME FAFF will be called and the party will spontaneously stop for a quick {{gloss|IC}} break. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME FREEZE ====
This is close to a system call in its application. Upon hearing TIME FREEZE, all players should remain motionless, close their eyes and hum loudly so as not to hear what is going on.

== IC Calls ==
These tell you what your character needs to do. Combat calls will either be made when someone hits you, by describing a target and pointing at them, or attached to a MASS or WIDE call.

==== <TARGET> <CALL> ====
For example “You in the red hat! {{call|MAGIC}} {{call|TRIPLE}}!” or “Dave! {{call|KNOCKBACK}}!”. The target takes the given effect. Maximum range 10m.

====LOOSE <CALL> ====
This call indicates that you are too close to safely shoot but the character has shot you. Take the attached call.

====MASS====
Affects anyone within a 3m-long cone. Delineate an area of effect with your arms. If you aim upwards,it will hit everyone in a 3m radius.

====WIDE====
Affects anyone within a 10m radius. In the {{gloss|interactive}}, this hits everyone in the venue.

====REFRESH====
Regain all your {{gloss|stamina}}. Usually feels {{gloss|IC}} like a wave of power spreads through the {{gloss|interactive}} venue, or the {{gloss|Linear}} site.

==== NOTHING ====
Ignore the melee blow that accompanies this for mechanical purposes. It does no damage.

==== SINGLE ====
Lose one {{gloss|hit}}. Does not need to be called, it is implied by melee blow.

==== TRIPLE ====
Lose 3 {{gloss|hits}}.

==== MAGIC ====
In general, MAGIC has no additional effect. Against certain creatures, a MAGIC call will reduce or destroy their ability to call {{call|RESIST}} to blows.

==== ENTANGLE ====
You must not move your feet except for safety reasons for 10 seconds. You are unaffected by {{call|KNOCKBACK}} during this time. Call {{call|RESIST}} to it.

==== DISRUPT ====
You cannot cast make {{gloss|strikes}} or cast {{gloss|spells}} other than {{call|BREAK}} for the next 10 seconds, You lose any {{gloss|spell}} you were in the process of casting. If you are the {{gloss|leader}} of a {{gloss|ritual}} this pauses the {{gloss|ritual}} until it wears off.

==== CRUSH ====
If this hits a limb, you cannot use that limb effectively. Lasts until healed. If it hits your torso, lose all {{gloss|hits}}. {{call|MAGIC}} CRUSH always targets the torso.

==== DISARM ====
Must strike the target’s arm if by weapon blow. Drop the the item you are holding with that hand or place it on the floor. If you cannot safely leave it on the ground (e.g. a shield strapped to the arm, wand on a wrist strap) ''it is unusable for the next 10 seconds'' and any hits to it count as a hit to your arm.
{{pedant-box|
*Don't bounce your focus on a strap like a yo-yo so it technically touches the ground. Pick it up.
*Don't deliberately target DISARMed items where you have other valid targets. Nobody is going to fall over from you hitting the wand that's on a three foot cord behind them.
}}

==== STRIKEDOWN ====
You must roleplay being struck to the ground. You may alternatively squat for 3 seconds or put one knee and one hand to the ground if falling is unsafe. You are struck down even if you block the blow.

==== KNOCKBACK ====
You must take 3 full steps back as quickly and safely as possible. If this puts your back against a hard surface you may stop. You must step back even if you block the blow. If you cannot or do not wish to step back, you must take a STRIKEDOWN.

==== BREAK ====
Removes {{call|ENTANGLE}} and {{call|DISRUPT}}. You can make BREAK calls even whilst under the effect of {{call|DISRUPT}}.

==== RESTORE ====
You are no longer under the effect of {{call|CRUSH}} on any location.

==== CURE N ====
{{id|CURE}}
You are healed by N {{gloss|hits}}.

==== CURSE ====
See a {{gloss|ref}} as soon as possible.

==== EFFECT N ====
{{id|EFFECT}}
EFFECT may not be made on someone who is in combat. It indicates they take a complicated effect, which you then explain. Unless otherwise stated, this lasts until midnight. The strength of the effect is equal to N.

====EXECUTE====
Your character is dead. Always requires a 10s of roleplay that may be interrupted. Only works if your character is {{gloss|unresisting}}.

==== COMPEL N (One complete command) ====
{{id|COMPEL}}
Unless otherwise stated, this lasts until the next {{call|REFRESH}} call.

When you take this call you follow the instruction given to the best of your ability.

A COMPEL requiring further input, i.e. “Obey my every command” will fail.

You are aware that a foreign influence is trying to control your actions.

These COMPELs last until they expire or you do one of the following:
*Spend N {{gloss|stamina}} to shake off the effect.
*Take N {{gloss|wounds}} to shake off the effect.

If you choose to take wounds and do not currently have a wound card, you may elect to take wounds on the [[Bleeding from the Eyes]] wound track as a means to streamline your roleplaying.

==== RESIST ====
This call indicates that you have heard someone else's call, but you are not reacting in the way they might expect. It is purely {{gloss|OC}} information.

|-

{{Ritual|Delay|
This {{gloss|ritual}} works on a single Target within 10m. The {{gloss|leader}} of the {{gloss|ritual}} may call {{call|DISRUPT}} on the Target after each 10 seconds of continuous roleplay. While using this ability you must remain within 10m of the thing you are delaying, you may not fight and you must move no faster than a walking pace. You may choose to end this {{gloss|ritual}} at will. ''Delay'' may also be used on other supernatural effects.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Meta-Rituals 3}}
|
{{Ability|Bolster Effect|
This may be used while you lead a ritual. Every Participant counts as contributing 50% more {{gloss|stamina}} than they did. Using this ability consumes all of your remaining {{gloss|stamina}} (This {{gloss|stamina}} is not contributed to the Ritual).}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Meta-Rituals 4}}
|
{{Ability|Create Ritual Anchor{{ref}}|
Create a {{gloss|ritual anchor}} that contains a {{gloss|ritual's}} effects. This requires a suitable anchor physrepped by a reasonably bulky item. A flag, a backpack “filled with scrolls”, a large box etc. You perform the {{gloss|ritual}} on the item, and pay double the normal {{gloss|stamina}} cost. Anyone may use the {{gloss|ritual anchor}} to perform the {{gloss|ritual}}, getting the effect stated on the item card. Anchors cost 16 {{gloss|Ducatto}} per level of the {{gloss|ritual}}.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Meta-Rituals 5}}

{{Ritual|Bolster Stamina|
Places an {{gloss|enhancement}} on the {{gloss|leader}} of the {{gloss|ritual}}. Activate this {{gloss|enhancement}} to gain 1 extra temporary {{gloss|Stamina}} for each two {{gloss|participants}} to a maximum of 5 {{gloss|stamina}}. This does not stack with itself. This is a Level 5 {{gloss|effect}} that normally lasts until midnight.}}

{{Ability|Bridge the Gap{{ref}}|
You may attempt to combine a {{gloss|ritual}} that you know with a {{gloss|ritual}} or {{gloss|ability}} that someone else knows, or the other way round. You must both be {{gloss|participants}} in the experimental {{gloss|ritual}}. It’s always hardest when either trying a new {{gloss|ritual}} with the same partner, or the improvised {{gloss|ritual}} with a different partner.}}

-----

Welcome to Mat Sellah, a recently discovered land centred around a mysterious Portal to the Beyond. Once a week, the Containment Zone around the Portal is opened up so that anyone with Faction sponsorship may freely investigate the Portal.

Your PC is sufficiently trusted to be allowed unrestricted access during these times. The Delegations number a couple of hundred people from each Faction, and the Portal Camp contains roughly double that number of Guild professionals, sailors, fortune-seekers and so on.

You will get personal objectives sent to you from your factions, and completing these will put you in better standing and potentially get you more resources or responsibility.

You have been authorised to contact any settlements found on Mat Sellah and given an allowance for bribes, supplies, etc. Do well, and prestige and fortune will be yours. Fail, and at best you’ll get a cramped ride back on the next cargo ship...

The year is 615 Post-Collapse, and the treasures of Mat Sellah are yours for the taking.

If you are interested in the game, please come along to one of our Interactives or Linears, or contact the Refs at larp-refs@srcf.net.

==Announcements==
=== Starting XP ===
*This week, any new PCs have {{StartingXP}} XP.

===Recent Updates: ===

'''General Rules'''
*DROP has been removed. If your PC is going to fall unconscious, a Ref will tell you this.
*DISRUPT now only pauses a ritual if it hits the Leader. This saves having to communicate to the Leader when you get hit.
*Arrows do CRUSH. If you are calling your shot because it's too close to safely loose, you still call TRIPLE STRIKEDOWN.
*Armour rules have been clarified. You get one extra hit per rank of Armour, and need to cover one location per extra hit you want to claim from the Armour skill. Heavy Armour now gives unlimited uses of "take CRUSH as TRIPLE STRIKEDOWN". Light Armour gives one use of this per encounter.
*You may use any suitable short phrase like "Builder smite you!" etc. as the vocal for an instant spell. "By my power" was not very thematic.
*Terminal has been simplified. A Terminal PC is now able to walk if the player wishes them to be, and dies after 30 seconds if they take damage.
*Stamina now only regenerates on REFRESH.
**Ability: Catch Breath has been updated to reflect this. It will now not restore Stamina.
*RESTORE changes to RESTORE LIMBS, which is more self-explanatory.

'''Skills'''
*Force 5: Instantaneous MAGIC TRIPLE CRUSH is now MAGIC CRUSH and a L4 Spell. it is replaced by "Instantaneous Magic Triple on 2 separate targets".
*Meta-Rituals 3: Changes from a Ritual to: ''Ability - Bolster Effect: This may be used while you lead a ritual. Every Participant counts as contributing 50% more stamina than they did. Using this ability consumes all of your remaining Stamina (This Stamina is not contributed to the Ritual).''
*Will 4: Adds the new Ability ''Ability- Mind War: You may choose to pay double the Stamina or Wound cost to resist a COMPEL. You may then immediately call the same Compel at any target within 10m.''
*Corpus 4: CURE 9 is now CURE 12
*Corpus 5: CURE 20 RESTORE is replaced by “Three uses of ranged CURE 3 over the next 10 seconds”

[[Rules_Updates| Full rules change list is here]].

We will keep the most recent updates on the front page.

General Rules

2015-10-14T10:39:43Z

Sirgnome: /* Basic Concepts */

This is an {{gloss|OOC}} document, that explains the general rules of NFNC.

If you have read this page, [[Safety]] and [[Calls]], you now know enough to play the game.

'''Important:''' If you have not yet done so, please read the [[Safety]] instructions.

== Basic Concepts ==
*Any being in this system has a number of {{gloss|hits}}, which are lost when they are damaged. Hits are global, so no matter where you are hit you lose {{gloss|hits}} from the same single total.

*Beings ''may'' also have a quantity of {{gloss|stamina}} which fuels their powers and lets them resist [[Calls#COMPEL|mental compulsions]].

*Someone with their finger in the air is not present in the game world, and you should ignore them.

*Nothing in this system can silence a being short of death or explicit instructions from a {{gloss|Ref}}.

*If an object has a '''blue ribbon''' on it is a [[Magical Items|Magical Item]]. If it has a '''yellow ribbon''' it is {{gloss|Valuable}}. Any character who sees the item can sense this. Some {{gloss|skills}} can tell you what the magic is or how much it's worth. Please don't use these colour ribbons on your costume.

== Basic Combat Rules ==
*If you are hit by a melee blow it always removes at least one {{gloss|hit}} from your total.

*Other calls tend to come from [[Spells and Strikes|Spells]] that affect you at a distance and [[Spells and Strikes|Strikes]] delivered by a melee blow. These will have a [[Calls|Call]] attached to tell you what happens.
**The [[Calls|Calls]] page lists all the calls that you might encounter while playing the system.

*Any character can use one melee weapon up to 42” long. These do {{call|SINGLE}} damage. You do not need to call this but may do if you wish to make it clear.

*If you are hit by an arrow, it applies the damage call {{call|CRUSH}} to the location it hits.

*You must be familiar with the [[Safety]] rules and take care that your blows are controlled. In particular, be careful when aiming for the head and do not aim for an opponent's face.

*You may make a maximum of one call (this includes an implied SINGLE) per second against a given opponent. If a single opponent strikes you more than once a second you take only one of these blows. This does not prevent you taking multiple calls from multiple opponents simultaneously.

== Player Characters ==
* A player character that has spent no experience has the following properties:
** They have 3 global {{gloss|hits}}
** They may gain 2 {{gloss|hits}} by wearing [[Armour|armour]] that covers their torso
** They have 0 {{gloss|stamina}}
** They earn 32 {{gloss|Ducatto}} per week.

They also have access to the following two {{gloss|abilities}}:

{{Ability|First Aid|
{{gloss|Factions}} like their agents to have at least a bit of first aid training. You can pause another character’s {{gloss|bleed count}} by placing both hands on them. If neither of you are disturbed for 60 seconds, you may call {{call|CURE}} 1 on the {{gloss|dying}} character.

Anyone can ask after a few seconds investigation, “OC: Have you lost Hits?” and get a truthful answer.}}

{{Ability|Catch Breath|
If you are not in a {{gloss|stressful situation}} you can spend 60 seconds to cure any locations ruined by {{call|CRUSH}} and restore all {{gloss|hits}}, but you will take a {{gloss|wound}} from pushing yourself too far. It should be obvious to everyone that you are regaining your abilities, either because you are fixing your armour, bent over double breathing hard or meditating. You can not shout or run whilst doing this, although you may talk normally.}}

== Dying ==

If your character reaches 0 {{gloss|hits}}, you should fall to the floor. Your character is now {{gloss|dying}}.

A {{gloss|dying}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call ceases to be {{gloss|dying}}, as they regain hits.

Someone who is {{gloss|dying}} can neither move under their own power nor take any IC action except talking. A {{gloss|dying}} character cannot resist any action taken on them.

=== Terminal ===

After spending 120 seconds {{gloss|dying}}, a {{gloss|character}} becomes {{gloss|terminal}}. They cannot be saved by any means, and the {{gloss|player}} may choose when the {{gloss|character}} dies. A {{Gloss|character}} may only remain {{gloss|terminal}} until the end of the next {{gloss|interactive}}. While {{gloss|terminal}} a {{gloss|character}} should roleplay being mortally wounded.

A {{gloss|terminal}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call is able to walk but is otherwise treated as {{gloss|dying}}. If they take any damage, they should fall over until they receive another {{call|CURE}}.

=== Executions and Wounding ===

Someone who is not actively resisting can be {{gloss|executed}} with 10 seconds spent roleplaying delivering an obvious deathblow to the target with a weapon. Call {{gloss|EXECUTE}}.

Someone who is not actively resisting can be given a {{gloss|wound}} instead of completely being executed. This takes 10 seconds

== Wounds ==

If your PC becomes {{gloss|dying}}, either a {{gloss|ref}} will come over to you or you should remind a {{gloss|ref}} at the end of the {{gloss|encounter}}. You will then receive an appropriate {{gloss|wound card}} with 8 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} on it. Your PC has the the first level of {{gloss|wound}} on the card, and each subsequent time they become {{gloss|dying}}, they go up a level.

PCs may also receive {{gloss|wound}}s at {{gloss|ref}} discretion. Refs may also hand out extra levels of {{gloss|wound}}s that have their own cards. For example, your PC is attacked by a poisonous monster. You gain a card with a specific extra {{gloss|wound}} of "POISONED: Lose 1 Maximum Hit"

A character's {{gloss|wounds}} heal naturally over time, and a {{gloss|PC}} loses 2 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} at the end of each {{gloss|interactive}}, regardless of whether they were played or not.

{{gloss|Wounds}} may by physical or spiritual, this has no effect on the {{gloss|skill needed}} to treat them, it is always the Healing {{gloss|skill}}.

== Creating a Character ==

To create a character you must decide on the following 3 things:

#A faction membership
#A background
#A list of {{gloss|skills}}

For a description of the mechanics of creating a character see [[Character_Creation_Mechanics|Character Creation Mechanics]].

Conversely, for a more in-depth look at the process behind taking a character concept and developing it into a fully fledged character see [[How_to_Create_a_Character|How to Create a Character]].

*You must be familiar with the [[Safety]] rules and take care that your blows are controlled. In particular, be careful when aiming for the head and do not aim for an opponent's face.

*You may make a maximum of one call (this includes an implied SINGLE) per second against a given opponent. If a single opponent strikes you more than once a second you take only one of these blows. This does not prevent you taking multiple calls from multiple opponents simultaneously.

== Player Characters ==
* A player character that has spent no experience has the following properties:
** They have 3 global {{gloss|hits}}
** They may gain 2 {{gloss|hits}} by wearing [[Armour|armour]] that covers their torso
** They have 0 {{gloss|stamina}}
** They earn 32 {{gloss|Ducatto}} per week.

They also have access to the following two {{gloss|abilities}}:

{{Ability|First Aid|
{{gloss|Factions}} like their agents to have at least a bit of first aid training. You can pause another character’s {{gloss|bleed count}} by placing both hands on them. If neither of you are disturbed for 60 seconds, you may call {{call|CURE}} 1 on the {{gloss|dying}} character.

Anyone can ask after a few seconds investigation, “OC: Have you lost Hits?” and get a truthful answer.}}

{{Ability|Catch Breath|
If you are not in a {{gloss|stressful situation}} you can spend 60 seconds to cure any locations ruined by {{call|CRUSH}} and restore all {{gloss|hits}}, but you will take a {{gloss|wound}} from pushing yourself too far. It should be obvious to everyone that you are regaining your abilities, either because you are fixing your armour, bent over double breathing hard or meditating. You can not shout or run whilst doing this, although you may talk normally.}}

== Dying ==

If your character reaches 0 {{gloss|hits}}, you should fall to the floor. Your character is now {{gloss|dying}}.

A {{gloss|dying}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call ceases to be {{gloss|dying}}, as they regain hits.

Someone who is {{gloss|dying}} can neither move under their own power nor take any IC action except talking. A {{gloss|dying}} character cannot resist any action taken on them.

=== Terminal ===

After spending 120 seconds {{gloss|dying}}, a {{gloss|character}} becomes {{gloss|terminal}}. They cannot be saved by any means, and the {{gloss|player}} may choose when the {{gloss|character}} dies. A {{Gloss|character}} may only remain {{gloss|terminal}} until the end of the next {{gloss|interactive}}. While {{gloss|terminal}} a {{gloss|character}} should roleplay being mortally wounded.

A {{gloss|terminal}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call is able to walk but is otherwise treated as {{gloss|dying}}. If they take any damage, they should fall over until they receive another {{call|CURE}}.

=== Executions and Wounding ===

Someone who is not actively resisting can be {{gloss|executed}} with 10 seconds spent roleplaying delivering an obvious deathblow to the target with a weapon. Call {{gloss|EXECUTE}}.

Someone who is not actively resisting can be given a {{gloss|wound}} instead of completely being executed. This takes 10 seconds

== Wounds ==

If your PC becomes {{gloss|dying}}, either a {{gloss|ref}} will come over to you or you should remind a {{gloss|ref}} at the end of the {{gloss|encounter}}. You will then receive an appropriate {{gloss|wound card}} with 8 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} on it. Your PC has the the first level of {{gloss|wound}} on the card, and each subsequent time they become {{gloss|dying}}, they go up a level.

PCs may also receive {{gloss|wound}}s at {{gloss|ref}} discretion. Refs may also hand out extra levels of {{gloss|wound}}s that have their own cards. For example, your PC is attacked by a poisonous monster. You gain a card with a specific extra {{gloss|wound}} of "POISONED: Lose 1 Maximum Hit"

A character's {{gloss|wounds}} heal naturally over time, and a {{gloss|PC}} loses 2 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} at the end of each {{gloss|interactive}}, regardless of whether they were played or not.

{{gloss|Wounds}} may by physical or spiritual, this has no effect on the {{gloss|skill needed}} to treat them, it is always the Healing {{gloss|skill}}.

== Creating a Character ==

To create a character you must decide on the following 3 things:

#A faction membership
#A background
#A list of {{gloss|skills}}

For a description of the mechanics of creating a character see [[Character_Creation_Mechanics|Character Creation Mechanics]].

Conversely, for a more in-depth look at the process behind taking a character concept and developing it into a fully fledged character see [[How_to_Create_a_Character|How to Create a Character]].

Glossary

2015-10-13T22:13:47Z

Sirgnome: /* Instantaneous */

=== Ability ===
{{id|ability}}
Abilities are things that a single {{gloss|character}} can do. They will state how long they take and if you need to spend {{gloss|stamina}} to use them. They all require {{gloss|appropriate roleplaying}}.

=== Armour ===
{{id|armour}}
Armour refers to protective equipment made from padded cloth, leather or metal. Any {{gloss|character}} can gain 2 {{gloss|hits}} by wearing any armour that covers their torso (we call this an Armoured Vest). {{gloss|Characters}} that have bought the [[Combat_Skills|Armour]] skill can benefit from heavier types of armour. [[Armour|Read more..]]

===Attunement===
{{id|attuned}}{{id|attune}}{{id|attunement}}
A character may {{gloss|attune}} to a piece of Magical Equipment by keeping it with them overnight. They may only be {{gloss|attuned}} to one piece of Magical Equipment at once. They may not use Magical Equipment they are not attuned to.

===Appropriate Roleplaying===
{{id|appropriate roleplaying}}
Some skills require this. It means you should act out some sort of procedure that is appropriate to what you are trying to do and how your character would accomplish it. For example [[Prof:Healing|Healing]] can be performed by bandages, magical alignment of crystals or stirring motivational speeches. This requires at least one free hand, and unless the Ritual or Ability specifically grants a ranged call, you must be close enough to touch the target.

=== Bleed Time/Bleed Count ===
{{id|Bleed Time}}
Bleed time and bleed count both refer to the time a {{gloss|character}} must spend {{gloss|dying}} before becoming {{gloss|terminal}}. Some {{gloss|rituals}} and {{gloss|wounds}} can change this for the better or worse.

=== Call ===
A call is a sequence of words that has a special meaning in the game rules. Please see the [[Calls|calls]] section of the website, where the calls are defined; it is important that a {{gloss|player}} knows how to react to at least the damage calls and simple effect calls.

=== Character (PC) ===
{{id|Character}}{{id|PC}}{{id|character}}
When you LARP you invent a character according to a series of rules and then you pretend to be them. You can have several characters at once (though you can only play one at a time!) but most people prefer to have a main character who they focus on. Your character does not have to be anything like you, even down to gender and species, although many of the most successful characters have been very similar to their players.

=== Curative Herbs ===
Used to fuel the [[Prof:Healing|healing]] 3 ability "The Doctor is In", they can be bought in downtime or from the Guild of Surgeons for 4D each. Any place that is appropriate to use that ability will be stocked with some quantity of these.

=== Downtime ===
Downtime is the time that elapses in the gameworld between {{gloss|interactives}}. As well as any {{gloss|roleplaying}} that occurs during this time, it is possible to perform certain actions. For more info see [[Downtime]].

===Drug===
{{id|drug}}{{id|drugs}}
A [[Emotions_and_Drugs|drug]] Effect is a specific mental effect usually created with the [[Prof:Psychomancy|Psychomancy]] {{gloss|skill}}.

===Ducatto===
{{id|ducatto}}
The money of NFNC. Comes in denominations of 1,4,16 and 64 Silver Ducatto and 1 and 4 Gold Ducatto. One Gold Ducatto is worth 64 Silver Ducatto.

=== Dying ===
{{id|dying}}
A {{gloss|character}} is dying if they have lost all of their hits. They can take no {{gloss|IC}} action other than talking/yelling, they also cannot resist any action done to them. A {{gloss|character}} ceases dying if they regain {{gloss|hits}}. After 120 seconds dying a {{gloss|character}} becomes {{gloss|terminal}}. [[General_Rules#Dying|Read more...]]

=== Effect ===
{{id|Effects}}
A magical presence on a character, object or area. Effects may be detected with the [[Prof:Knowledge|Knowledge]] L1 Ability "Explorer's Gaze". Unless otherwise stated, lasts until midnight.

===Emotion===
{{id|emotion}}
A [[Emotions_and_Drugs|Emotion]] Effect is a specific mental effect usually created with the [[Prof:Psychomancy|Psychomancy]] {{gloss|skill}}.

=== Encounter ===
The time between calls of REFRESH.

=== Enhancement ===
An Effect which may be expended with 5 seconds of {{gloss|appropriate roleplaying}} to cause something to happen.

===Execute===

To kill an {{gloss|unresisting}} character with 10 seconds of {{gloss|appropriate roleplaying}}. Your character must be armed to do this.

===Focus===
{{id|focus}}
A {{gloss|focus}} is an item relating to the user's {{gloss|Paradigm}} and used to channel {{gloss|Spells}}. A holy symbol for a priest, a candle for a pyromancer, a crystal for an arcane meddler.

Popular foci include embroidered badges that also serve as belt tags, alchemical bottles, and large chunky pieces of jewellery. Most foci are about the size of the user's fist.

===Group===
{{id|group}}

=== Hit ===
{{id|Hits}}
{{id|hits}}
{{id|hit}}
Hits, or hit points, represent the amount of physical punishment someone or something can take before becoming {{gloss|dying}}. {{gloss|Characters}} may gain more hits by purchasing the [[Combat_Skills|Health]] {{gloss|skill}} or the [[Combat_Skills|Armour]] {{gloss|skill}}.

=== IC ===
In Character. Anything which would be perceptible to anyone in the world of No Flag No Country under any circumstances. Whenever you are pretending to be your {{gloss|character}}, you are IC.

=== Interactive ===
{{id|interactive}}{{id|interactives}}{{id|Interactives}}
A session of the game held in the [[The_Portal_Camp|Portal Camp]]. The Portal Camp is represented by whatever room the Society has booked that week.

The person in charge of the {{gloss|ritual}}.

=== Linear ===
A type of adventure where the {{gloss|encounters}} are laid out along a set route which the {{gloss|characters}} follow. Usually an {{gloss|NPC}} "character ref" accompanies them as a member of the {{gloss|character party}} to ensure they don't stray off course by accident or design.

===Magical Item===
{{id|Magical item}}
An object with a '''blue ribbon''' on it is a {{gloss|Magical Item}}.This may be a focus, a one-use Talisman or a piece of Magical Equipment.

===Physrep===
{{id|physrep}}
A physical representation of an object (these are called "props" in the theatre). Debate exists over whether all props and costume are technically phys-reps, or only "pretend" items. Eg: a latex sword is clearly intended as a physical representation of a metal sword, but is a proper suit of reenactment-quality metal chainmail a "representation" or an actual suit of chain? Regardless of the outcome of this debate, they are all referred to as phys-reps. Communally-owned phys-reps are often stored in an {{gloss|armoury}}, even if they aren't weapons.

===Portal===
{{id|portal}}

By default, {{gloss|Spells}} take at least 5 seconds of appropriate roleplay including speaking, chanting or shouting. Some may be cast with the words BY MY POWER followed by the spell effect. These spells are noted as "{{gloss|instantaneous}}". [[Spells_and_Strikes|Read more...]]

=== Stressful situation ===
{{id|stressful situation}}
{{id|stressful}}

Physical, mental or supernatural injuries that your character has suffered. When your {{gloss|character}} becomes {{gloss|dying}}, they gain a Wound. Wounds may also be suffered as a consequence of {{gloss|IC}} actions. All Wounds may be suppressed or treated with the [[Prof:Healing|Healing]] Skill.

[[Category:Rules]]

Spells and Strikes

2015-10-13T22:13:21Z

Sirgnome: /* Spells */

== Strikes ==
A {{gloss|strike}} must be made with a melee weapon. Hit the target in a suitably dramatic manner and make the call. The {{gloss|strike}} should be roleplayed as delivering a obviously powerful blow or sneaky backstab.

== Spells ==
You must be holding your {{gloss|Focus}} to cast a {{gloss|spell}}.

Casting most {{gloss|spells}} requires 5 seconds of {{gloss|appropriate roleplaying}} including some sort of shout, chant or speech throughout. You may then indicate a target and make that call at them. For example “Bob! {{Call|MAGIC}} {{call|TRIPLE}}!” or “Skeleton in the Hat! {{Call|MAGIC}} {{call|TRIPLE}}!”. Some may be cast with a short phrase such as BY MY POWER, or FOR THE ASPIRANT, followed by the target and spell effect. These spells are noted as "{{gloss|instantaneous}}".

Your {{gloss|spell}} is interrupted if you are hit with {{call|DISRUPT}} or strike someone with a weapon. You spend the {{gloss|stamina}} when you successfully cast the {{gloss|spell}}. If you are interrupted, your {{gloss|stamina}} is not spent.

Some {{gloss|spells}} are marked as {{gloss|touch}} range. To successfully use one of these on a target you must be touching them at the completion of your {{gloss|appropriate roleplaying}}.

== Foci ==
Whilst casting a {{gloss|spell}} you must hold a {{gloss|focus}}. A {{gloss|focus}} is some sort of object that represents how your character enforces their will on the world. It might be a fancy wand for a Mage, a holy symbol for a priest, or a bottle o’rum for a vicious pirate. {{gloss|Foci}} must be obvious, appropriate to the character, and visible to an observer. They cannot be a ring you are always wearing, a coin hidden in the hand, etc. The idea is that holding a {{gloss|focus}} is roughly equivalent to holding a gun or pointing a magic wand. Anything about fist-sized is definitely OK. {{gloss|Rule 7}} applies, check with Refs if you're not sure. {{gloss|Foci}} are magic items and will have a blue ribbon on them.

'''{{gloss|Foci}} cannot be used as weapons or to parry''' and should not resemble weapons. You do not count as holding a {{gloss|focus}} if there is also a weapon or shield in that hand. If you lose a {{gloss|focus}}, you may bond to a new one by finding an appropriate item and performing 60 seconds of {{gloss|appropriate roleplay}}. The {{gloss|ref}} will let you know if the item is an acceptable {{gloss|focus}} and hand you a new ribbon.

Calls

2015-10-13T22:02:32Z

Sirgnome: /* DISRUPT */

A “Call” is an {{gloss|OC}} word or phrase used to describe the in-game effect of an action.

You do not hear them {{gloss|IC}}.

You may make a maximum of one call per second.

== OC Calls ==
{{gloss|OC}} calls are used to tell the players (not the characters) what is going on, and in cases of emergency.

==== STOP THE GAME ====
The most important call in LARP. STOP THE GAME means there has been an real-life injury, someone has lost their glasses or there has been another {{gloss|OC}} emergency. Anyone may call STOP THE GAME and should do so if needed. As soon as STOP THE GAME is called, the action suspends entirely, everyone should stop moving, and appropriate action is taken. Repeat the call to anyone who has not noticed. Once the emergency is over, if the game is to continue then people are asked to return to where they were when STOP THE GAME was called and TIME IN restarts the action.

==== MAN DOWN ====
This means exactly the same as STOP THE GAME. It is included here as an alternative because it is in common usage in many systems, so people may call this instead of STOP THE GAME. STOP THE GAME is preferred where possible because we're not all men.

==== TOO HARD ====
Call this if you've been hit too hard by somebody. Anybody can make a mistake so try and be polite if it happens and use this call rather than a string of abuse! If it's happening a lot, speak to a ref. If somebody says 'Ow' and acts in pain but doesn't say this, hopefully they're roleplaying the hit.

==== TIME IN ====
The call to start roleplaying. Once TIME IN is called, the game has started. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME OUT ====
The call to stop roleplaying. Once TIME OUT is called, the game is over for that evening. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME FAFF ====
The call to continue roleplaying, but not move forward. On linears, occasionally additional time is needed to get a big encounter ready; in this case, TIME FAFF will be called and the party will spontaneously stop for a quick {{gloss|IC}} break. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME FREEZE ====
This is close to a system call in its application. Upon hearing TIME FREEZE, all players should remain motionless, close their eyes and hum loudly so as not to hear what is going on.

== IC Calls ==
These tell you what your character needs to do. Combat calls will either be made when someone hits you, by describing a target and pointing at them, or attached to a MASS or WIDE call.

==== <TARGET> <CALL> ====
For example “You in the red hat! {{call|MAGIC}} {{call|TRIPLE}}!” or “Dave! {{call|KNOCKBACK}}!”. The target takes the given effect. Maximum range 10m.

====LOOSE <CALL> ====
This call indicates that you are too close to safely shoot but the character has shot you. Take the attached call.

====MASS====
Affects anyone within a 3m-long cone. Delineate an area of effect with your arms. If you aim upwards,it will hit everyone in a 3m radius.

====WIDE====
Affects anyone within a 10m radius. In the {{gloss|interactive}}, this hits everyone in the venue.

====REFRESH====
Regain all your {{gloss|stamina}}. Usually feels {{gloss|IC}} like a wave of power spreads through the {{gloss|interactive}} venue, or the {{gloss|Linear}} site.

==== NOTHING ====
Ignore the melee blow that accompanies this for mechanical purposes. It does no damage.

==== SINGLE ====
Lose one {{gloss|hit}}. Does not need to be called, it is implied by melee blow.

==== TRIPLE ====
Lose 3 {{gloss|hits}}.

==== MAGIC ====
In general, MAGIC has no additional effect. Against certain creatures, a MAGIC call will reduce or destroy their ability to call {{call|RESIST}} to blows.

==== ENTANGLE ====
You must not move your feet except for safety reasons for 10 seconds. You are unaffected by {{call|KNOCKBACK}} during this time. Call {{call|RESIST}} to it.

==== DISRUPT ====
You cannot cast make {{gloss|strikes}} or cast {{gloss|spells}} other than {{call|BREAK}} for the next 10 seconds, You lose any {{gloss|spell}} you were in the process of casting. If you are the {{gloss|leader}} of a {{gloss|ritual}} this pauses the {{gloss|ritual}} until it wears off.

==== CRUSH ====
If this hits a limb, you cannot use that limb effectively. If it hits your torso and you are not wearing [[armour]], lose all {{gloss|hits}}. Otherwise, you may not use {{gloss|strikes}} or {{gloss|spells}}. '''You may use Talismans while Crushed'''. Lasts until healed. Some monsters always count as wearing [[armour]].

==== DISARM ====
Must strike the target’s arm if by weapon blow. Drop the the item you are holding with that hand or place it on the floor. If you cannot safely leave it on the ground (e.g. a shield strapped to the arm, wand on a wrist strap) ''it is unusable for the next 10 seconds'' and any hits to it count as a hit to your arm.
{{pedant-box|
*Don't bounce your focus on a strap like a yo-yo so it technically touches the ground. Pick it up.
*Don't deliberately target DISARMed items where you have other valid targets. Nobody is going to fall over from you hitting the wand that's on a three foot cord behind them.
}}

==== STRIKEDOWN ====
You must roleplay being struck to the ground. You may alternatively squat for 3 seconds or put one knee and one hand to the ground if falling is unsafe. You are struck down even if you block the blow.

==== KNOCKBACK ====
You must take 3 full steps back as quickly and safely as possible. If this puts your back against a hard surface you may stop. You must step back even if you block the blow. If you cannot or do not wish to step back, you must take a STRIKEDOWN.

==== BREAK ====
Removes {{call|ENTANGLE}} and {{call|DISRUPT}}. You can make BREAK calls even whilst under the effect of {{call|DISRUPT}}.

==== RESTORE ====
You are no longer under the effect of {{call|CRUSH}} on any location.

==== CURE N ====
{{id|CURE}}
You are healed by N {{gloss|hits}}.

==== CURSE ====
See a {{gloss|ref}} as soon as possible.

==== EFFECT N ====
{{id|EFFECT}}
EFFECT may not be made on someone who is in combat. It indicates they take a complicated effect, which you then explain. Unless otherwise stated, this lasts until midnight. The strength of the effect is equal to N.

====EXECUTE====
Your character is dead. Always requires a 10s of roleplay that may be interrupted. Only works if your character is {{gloss|unresisting}}.

==== COMPEL N (One complete command) ====
{{id|COMPEL}}
Unless otherwise stated, this lasts until the next {{call|REFRESH}} call.

When you take this call you follow the instruction given to the best of your ability.

A COMPEL requiring further input, i.e. “Obey my every command” will fail.

You are aware that a foreign influence is trying to control your actions.

These COMPELs last until they expire or you do one of the following:
*Spend N {{gloss|stamina}} to shake off the effect.
*Take N {{gloss|wounds}} to shake off the effect.

If you choose to take wounds and do not currently have a wound card, you may elect to take wounds on the [[Bleeding from the Eyes]] wound track as a means to streamline your roleplaying.

==== RESIST ====
This call indicates that you have heard someone else's call, but you are not reacting in the way they might expect. It is purely {{gloss|OC}} information.

General Rules

2015-10-13T22:00:47Z

Sirgnome: /* Basic Concepts */

This is an {{gloss|OOC}} document, that explains the general rules of NFNC.

If you have read this page, [[Safety]] and [[Calls]], you now know enough to play the game.

'''Important:''' If you have not yet done so, please read the [[Safety]] instructions.

== Basic Concepts ==
*Any being in this system has a number of {{gloss|hits}}, which are lost when they are damaged. Hits are global, so no matter where you are hit you lose {{gloss|hits}} from the same single total.

*Beings ''may'' also have a quantity of {{gloss|stamina}} which fuels their powers and lets them resist [[Calls#COMPEL|mental compulsions]].

*Someone with their finger in the air is not present in the game world, and you should ignore them.

*Nothing in this system can silence a being short of death or explicit instructions from a Ref.

*If an object has a '''blue ribbon''' on it is a [[Magical Items|Magical Item]]. If it has a '''yellow ribbon''' it is {{gloss|Valuable}}. Any character who sees the item can sense this. Some {{gloss|skills}} can tell you what the magic is or how much it's worth. Please don't use these colour ribbons on your costume.

== Basic Combat Rules ==
*If you are hit by a melee blow it always removes at least one {{gloss|hit}} from your total.

*Other calls tend to come from [[Spells and Strikes|Spells]] that affect you at a distance and [[Spells and Strikes|Strikes]] delivered by a melee blow. These will have a [[Calls|Call]] attached to tell you what happens.
**The [[Calls|Calls]] page lists all the calls that you might encounter while playing the system.

*Any character can use one melee weapon up to 42” long. These do {{call|SINGLE}} damage. You do not need to call this but may do if you wish to make it clear.

*If you are hit by an arrow, it applies the damage call {{call|CRUSH}} to the location it hits.

*You must be familiar with the [[Safety]] rules and take care that your blows are controlled. In particular, be careful when aiming for the head and do not aim for an opponent's face.

*You may make a maximum of one call (this includes an implied SINGLE) per second against a given opponent. If a single opponent strikes you more than once a second you take only one of these blows. This does not prevent you taking multiple calls from multiple opponents simultaneously.

== Player Characters ==
* A player character that has spent no experience has the following properties:
** They have 3 global {{gloss|hits}}
** They may gain 2 {{gloss|hits}} by wearing [[Armour|armour]] that covers their torso
** They have 0 {{gloss|stamina}}
** They earn 32 {{gloss|Ducatto}} per week.

They also have access to the following two {{gloss|abilities}}:

{{Ability|First Aid|
{{gloss|Factions}} like their agents to have at least a bit of first aid training. You can pause another character’s {{gloss|bleed count}} by placing both hands on them. If neither of you are disturbed for 60 seconds, you may call {{call|CURE}} 1 on the {{gloss|dying}} character.

Anyone can ask after a few seconds investigation, “OC: Have you lost Hits?” and get a truthful answer.}}

{{Ability|Catch Breath|
If you are not in a {{gloss|stressful situation}} you can spend 60 seconds to cure any locations ruined by {{call|CRUSH}} and restore all {{gloss|hits}}, but you will take a {{gloss|wound}} from pushing yourself too far. It should be obvious to everyone that you are regaining your abilities, either because you are fixing your armour, bent over double breathing hard or meditating. You can not shout or run whilst doing this, although you may talk normally.}}

== Dying ==

If your character reaches 0 {{gloss|hits}}, you should fall to the floor. Your character is now {{gloss|dying}}.

A {{gloss|dying}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call ceases to be {{gloss|dying}}, as they regain hits.

Someone who is {{gloss|dying}} can neither move under their own power nor take any IC action except talking. A {{gloss|dying}} character cannot resist any action taken on them.

=== Terminal ===

After spending 120 seconds {{gloss|dying}}, a {{gloss|character}} becomes {{gloss|terminal}}. They cannot be saved by any means, and the {{gloss|player}} may choose when the {{gloss|character}} dies. A {{Gloss|character}} may only remain {{gloss|terminal}} until the end of the next {{gloss|interactive}}. While {{gloss|terminal}} a {{gloss|character}} should roleplay being mortally wounded.

A {{gloss|terminal}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call is able to walk but is otherwise treated as {{gloss|dying}}. If they take any damage, they should fall over until they receive another {{call|CURE}}.

=== Executions and Wounding ===

Someone who is not actively resisting can be {{gloss|executed}} with 10 seconds spent roleplaying delivering an obvious deathblow to the target with a weapon. Call {{gloss|EXECUTE}}.

Someone who is not actively resisting can be given a {{gloss|wound}} instead of completely being executed. This takes 10 seconds

== Wounds ==

If your PC becomes {{gloss|dying}}, either a {{gloss|ref}} will come over to you or you should remind a {{gloss|ref}} at the end of the {{gloss|encounter}}. You will then receive an appropriate {{gloss|wound card}} with 8 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} on it. Your PC has the the first level of {{gloss|wound}} on the card, and each subsequent time they become {{gloss|dying}}, they go up a level.

PCs may also receive {{gloss|wound}}s at {{gloss|ref}} discretion. Refs may also hand out extra levels of {{gloss|wound}}s that have their own cards. For example, your PC is attacked by a poisonous monster. You gain a card with a specific extra {{gloss|wound}} of "POISONED: Lose 1 Maximum Hit"

A character's {{gloss|wounds}} heal naturally over time, and a {{gloss|PC}} loses 2 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} at the end of each {{gloss|interactive}}, regardless of whether they were played or not.

{{gloss|Wounds}} may by physical or mental, this has no effect on the {{gloss|skill needed}} to treat them, it is always the Healing {{gloss|skill}}.

== Creating a Character ==

To create a character you must decide on the following 3 things:

#A faction membership
#A background
#A list of {{gloss|skills}}

For a description of the mechanics of creating a character see [[Character_Creation_Mechanics|Character Creation Mechanics]].

Conversely, for a more in-depth look at the process behind taking a character concept and developing it into a fully fledged character see [[How_to_Create_a_Character|How to Create a Character]].

You must not move your feet except for safety reasons for 10 seconds. You are unaffected by {{call|KNOCKBACK}} during this time. Call {{call|RESIST}} to it.

==== DISRUPT ====
You cannot cast make {{gloss|strikes}} or cast {{gloss|spells}} other than {{call|BREAK}} for the next 10 seconds, You lose any {{gloss|spell}} you were in the process of casting. If you are a {{gloss|participant}} in a {{gloss|ritual}} this pauses the {{gloss|ritual}} until it wears off.

==== CRUSH ====
If this hits a limb, you cannot use that limb effectively. If it hits your torso and you are not wearing [[armour]], lose all {{gloss|hits}}. Otherwise, you may not use {{gloss|strikes}} or {{gloss|spells}}. '''You may use Talismans while Crushed'''. Lasts until healed. Some monsters always count as wearing [[armour]].

==== DISARM ====
Must strike the target’s arm if by weapon blow. Drop the the item you are holding with that hand or place it on the floor. If you cannot safely leave it on the ground (e.g. a shield strapped to the arm, wand on a wrist strap) ''it is unusable for the next 10 seconds'' and any hits to it count as a hit to your arm.
{{pedant-box|
*Don't bounce your focus on a strap like a yo-yo so it technically touches the ground. Pick it up.
*Don't deliberately target DISARMed items where you have other valid targets. Nobody is going to fall over from you hitting the wand that's on a three foot cord behind them.
}}

==== STRIKEDOWN ====
You must roleplay being struck to the ground. You may alternatively squat for 3 seconds or put one knee and one hand to the ground if falling is unsafe. You are struck down even if you block the blow.

==== KNOCKBACK ====
You must take 3 full steps back as quickly and safely as possible. If this puts your back against a hard surface you may stop. You must step back even if you block the blow. If you cannot or do not wish to step back, you must take a STRIKEDOWN.

==== BREAK ====
Removes {{call|ENTANGLE}} and {{call|DISRUPT}}. You can make BREAK calls even whilst under the effect of {{call|DISRUPT}}.

==== RESTORE ====
You are no longer under the effect of {{call|CRUSH}} on any location.

==== CURE N ====
{{id|CURE}}
You are healed by N {{gloss|hits}}.

==== CURSE ====
See a {{gloss|ref}} as soon as possible.

==== EFFECT N ====
{{id|EFFECT}}
EFFECT may not be made on someone who is in combat. It indicates they take a complicated effect, which you then explain. Unless otherwise stated, this lasts until midnight. The strength of the effect is equal to N.

====EXECUTE====
Your character is dead. Always requires a 10s of roleplay that may be interrupted. Only works if your character is {{gloss|unresisting}}.

==== COMPEL N (One complete command) ====
{{id|COMPEL}}
Unless otherwise stated, this lasts until the next {{call|REFRESH}} call.

When you take this call you follow the instruction given to the best of your ability.

A COMPEL requiring further input, i.e. “Obey my every command” will fail.

You are aware that a foreign influence is trying to control your actions.

These COMPELs last until they expire or you do one of the following:
*Spend N {{gloss|stamina}} to shake off the effect.
*Take N {{gloss|wounds}} to shake off the effect.

If you choose to take wounds and do not currently have a wound card, you may elect to take wounds on the [[Bleeding from the Eyes]] wound track as a means to streamline your roleplaying.

==== RESIST ====
This call indicates that you have heard someone else's call, but you are not reacting in the way they might expect. It is purely {{gloss|OC}} information.

Summary Sheet

2015-10-13T21:57:54Z

Sirgnome: /* Combat */

=Combat=
*If you are hit by a melee blow it always removes at least one {{gloss|hit}} from your total.
*If you are hit by an arrow, it applies the damage call {{call|CRUSH}} to the location it hits.
*You may make a maximum of one call (this includes an implied SINGLE) per second against a given opponent. If a single opponent strikes you more than once a second you take only one of these blows.

==Calls==
== OC Calls ==
{{gloss|OC}} calls are used to tell the players (not the characters) what is going on, and in cases of emergency.

==== STOP THE GAME/MAN DOWN ====
The most important call in LARP. STOP THE GAME means there has been an real-life injury, someone has lost their glasses or there has been another {{gloss|OC}} emergency. Anyone may call STOP THE GAME and should do so if needed. As soon as STOP THE GAME is called, the action suspends entirely, everyone should stop moving, and appropriate action is taken. Repeat the call to anyone who has not noticed. Once the emergency is over, if the game is to continue then people are asked to return to where they were when STOP THE GAME was called and TIME IN restarts the action.

==== TOO HARD ====
Call this if you've been hit too hard by somebody.

==== TIME IN ====
The call to start roleplaying. Once TIME IN is called, the game has started. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME OUT ====
The call to stop roleplaying. Once TIME OUT is called, the game is over for that evening. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME FAFF ====
The call to continue roleplaying, but not move forward. On linears, occasionally additional time is needed to get a big encounter ready; in this case, TIME FAFF will be called and the party will spontaneously stop for a quick {{gloss|IC}} break. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME FREEZE ====
This is close to a system call in its application. Upon hearing TIME FREEZE, all players should remain motionless, close their eyes and hum loudly so as not to hear what is going on.

== IC Calls ==
These tell you what your character needs to do. Combat calls will either be made when someone hits you, by describing a target and pointing at them, or attached to a MASS or WIDE call.

==== <TARGET> <CALL> ====
For example “You in the red hat! {{call|MAGIC}} {{call|TRIPLE}}!” or “Dave! {{call|KNOCKBACK}}!”. The target takes the given effect. Maximum range 10m.

====MASS====
Affects anyone within a 3m-long cone. Delineate an area of effect with your arms. If you aim upwards,it will hit everyone in a 3m radius.

====WIDE====
Affects anyone within a 10m radius. In the {{gloss|interactive}}, this hits everyone in the venue.

====REFRESH====
Regain all your {{gloss|stamina}}. Usually feels {{gloss|IC}} like a wave of power spreads through the {{gloss|interactive}} venue, or the {{gloss|Linear}} site.

==== NOTHING ====
Ignore the melee blow that accompanies this for mechanical purposes. It does no damage.

==== SINGLE ====
Lose one {{gloss|hit}}. Does not need to be called, it is implied by melee blow.

==== TRIPLE ====
Lose 3 {{gloss|hits}}.

==== MAGIC ====
In general, MAGIC has no additional effect. You will be briefed if it does.

==== ENTANGLE ====
You must not move your feet except for safety reasons for 10 seconds. You are unaffected by {{call|KNOCKBACK}} during this time. Call {{call|RESIST}} to it.

==== DISRUPT ====
You cannot participate in Rituals, make {{gloss|strikes}} or cast {{gloss|spells}} other than {{call|BREAK}} for the next 10 seconds, You lose any {{gloss|spell}} you were in the process of casting.

==== CRUSH ====
If this hits a limb, you cannot use that limb effectively. If it hits your torso and you are not wearing [[armour]], lose all {{gloss|hits}}. Otherwise, you may not use {{gloss|strikes}} or {{gloss|spells}}. Lasts until healed.

==== DISARM ====
Must strike the target’s arm if by weapon blow. Drop the the item you are holding with that hand or place it on the floor. If you cannot safely leave it on the ground''it is unusable for the next 10 seconds'' and any hits to it count as a hit to your arm.

==== STRIKEDOWN ====
You must roleplay being struck to the ground. You may alternatively squat for 3 seconds or put one knee and one hand to the ground if falling is unsafe. You are struck down even if you block the blow.

==== KNOCKBACK ====
You must take 3 full steps back as quickly and safely as possible. If this puts your back against a hard surface you may stop. You must step back even if you block the blow. If you cannot or do not wish to step back, you must take a STRIKEDOWN.

==== BREAK ====
Removes {{call|ENTANGLE}} and {{call|DISRUPT}}. You can make BREAK calls even whilst under the effect of {{call|DISRUPT}}.

==== RESTORE ====
You are no longer under the effect of {{call|CRUSH}} on any location.

==== CURE N ====
{{id|CURE}}
You regain N {{gloss|hits}}.

==== CURSE ====
See a {{gloss|ref}} as soon as possible. Typically after the fight this hit you in.

==== EFFECT N ====
{{id|EFFECT}}
EFFECT may not be made on someone who is in combat. It indicates they take a complicated effect, which you then explain. Unless otherwise stated, this lasts until midnight. The strength of the effect is equal to N.

====EXECUTE====
Your character is dead.

==== COMPEL N (One complete command) ====
{{id|COMPEL}}
Unless otherwise stated, this lasts until the next {{call|REFRESH}} call.

When you take this call you follow the instruction given to the best of your ability.

A COMPEL requiring further input, i.e. “Obey my every command” will fail.

You are aware that a foreign influence is trying to control your actions.

These COMPELs last until they expire or you do one of the following:
*Spend N {{gloss|stamina}} to shake off the effect.
*Take N {{gloss|wounds}} to shake off the effect.

==== RESIST ====
This call indicates that you have heard someone else's call, but you are not reacting in the way they might expect. It is purely {{gloss|OC}} information.

==== DROP ====
You fall unconscious and cannot be roused. Normally used for visions etc. May not be {{call|RESIST}}ed.

== Dying ==
*If your character reaches 0 {{gloss|hits}}, you should fall to the floor. Your character is now {{gloss|dying}}.
*A {{gloss|dying}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call ceases to be {{gloss|dying}}.
*Someone who is {{gloss|dying}} can neither move under their own power nor take any IC action except talking. A {{gloss|dying}} character cannot resist any action taken on them.
*After spending 120 seconds {{gloss|dying}}, a {{gloss|character}} becomes {{gloss|terminal}}. They cannot be saved by any means, and the {{gloss|player}} may choose when the {{gloss|character}} dies.

=== Executions and Wounding ===
*An unresisting character can be {{gloss|executed}} with 10 seconds of roleplaying delivering an obvious deathblow to the target with a weapon. Call {{gloss|EXECUTE}}. Alternatively, you may give the victim a Wound.

== Wounds ==
*If your PC has been reduced to 0 hits, you must tell a Ref so they can give you a Wound card. Your PC has the the first level of {{gloss|wound}} on the card, and each subsequent time they become {{gloss|dying}}, they go up a level.
*PCs may also receive {{gloss|wound}}s at {{gloss|ref}} discretion.
*A {{gloss|PC}} loses 2 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} after each {{gloss|interactive}}.

General Rules

2015-10-13T21:56:31Z

Sirgnome: /* Basic Combat Rules */

This is an {{gloss|OOC}} document, that explains the general rules of NFNC.

If you have read this page, [[Safety]] and [[Calls]], you now know enough to play the game.

'''Important:''' If you have not yet done so, please read the [[Safety]] instructions.

== Basic Concepts ==
*Any being in this system has a number of {{gloss|hits}}, which are lost when they are damaged. Hits are global, so no matter where you are hit you lose {{gloss|hits}} from the same single total.

*Beings ''may'' also have a quantity of {{gloss|stamina}} which fuels their powers and lets them resist [[Calls#COMPEL|mental compulsions]].

*Someone with their finger in the air is not present in the game world, and you should ignore them.

*Nothing in this system can silence a being short of death or the {{call|DROP}} call.

*If an object has a '''blue ribbon''' on it is a [[Magical Items|Magical Item]]. If it has a '''yellow ribbon''' it is {{gloss|Valuable}}. Any character who sees the item can sense this. Some {{gloss|skills}} can tell you what the magic is or how much it's worth. Please don't use these colour ribbons on your costume.

== Basic Combat Rules ==
*If you are hit by a melee blow it always removes at least one {{gloss|hit}} from your total.

*Other calls tend to come from [[Spells and Strikes|Spells]] that affect you at a distance and [[Spells and Strikes|Strikes]] delivered by a melee blow. These will have a [[Calls|Call]] attached to tell you what happens.
**The [[Calls|Calls]] page lists all the calls that you might encounter while playing the system.

*Any character can use one melee weapon up to 42” long. These do {{call|SINGLE}} damage. You do not need to call this but may do if you wish to make it clear.

*If you are hit by an arrow, it applies the damage call {{call|CRUSH}} to the location it hits.

*You must be familiar with the [[Safety]] rules and take care that your blows are controlled. In particular, be careful when aiming for the head and do not aim for an opponent's face.

*You may make a maximum of one call (this includes an implied SINGLE) per second against a given opponent. If a single opponent strikes you more than once a second you take only one of these blows. This does not prevent you taking multiple calls from multiple opponents simultaneously.

== Player Characters ==
* A player character that has spent no experience has the following properties:
** They have 3 global {{gloss|hits}}
** They may gain 2 {{gloss|hits}} by wearing [[Armour|armour]] that covers their torso
** They have 0 {{gloss|stamina}}
** They earn 32 {{gloss|Ducatto}} per week.

They also have access to the following two {{gloss|abilities}}:

{{Ability|First Aid|
{{gloss|Factions}} like their agents to have at least a bit of first aid training. You can pause another character’s {{gloss|bleed count}} by placing both hands on them. If neither of you are disturbed for 60 seconds, you may call {{call|CURE}} 1 on the {{gloss|dying}} character.

Anyone can ask after a few seconds investigation, “OC: Have you lost Hits?” and get a truthful answer.}}

{{Ability|Catch Breath|
If you are not in a {{gloss|stressful situation}} you can spend 60 seconds to cure any locations ruined by {{call|CRUSH}} and restore all {{gloss|hits}}, but you will take a {{gloss|wound}} from pushing yourself too far. It should be obvious to everyone that you are regaining your abilities, either because you are fixing your armour, bent over double breathing hard or meditating. You can not shout or run whilst doing this, although you may talk normally.}}

== Dying ==

If your character reaches 0 {{gloss|hits}}, you should fall to the floor. Your character is now {{gloss|dying}}.

A {{gloss|dying}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call ceases to be {{gloss|dying}}, as they regain hits.

Someone who is {{gloss|dying}} can neither move under their own power nor take any IC action except talking. A {{gloss|dying}} character cannot resist any action taken on them.

=== Terminal ===

After spending 120 seconds {{gloss|dying}}, a {{gloss|character}} becomes {{gloss|terminal}}. They cannot be saved by any means, and the {{gloss|player}} may choose when the {{gloss|character}} dies. A {{Gloss|character}} may only remain {{gloss|terminal}} until the end of the next {{gloss|interactive}}. While {{gloss|terminal}} a {{gloss|character}} should roleplay being mortally wounded.

A {{gloss|terminal}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call is able to walk but is otherwise treated as {{gloss|dying}}. If they take any damage, they should fall over until they receive another {{call|CURE}}.

=== Executions and Wounding ===

Someone who is not actively resisting can be {{gloss|executed}} with 10 seconds spent roleplaying delivering an obvious deathblow to the target with a weapon. Call {{gloss|EXECUTE}}.

Someone who is not actively resisting can be given a {{gloss|wound}} instead of completely being executed. This takes 10 seconds

== Wounds ==

If your PC becomes {{gloss|dying}}, either a {{gloss|ref}} will come over to you or you should remind a {{gloss|ref}} at the end of the {{gloss|encounter}}. You will then receive an appropriate {{gloss|wound card}} with 8 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} on it. Your PC has the the first level of {{gloss|wound}} on the card, and each subsequent time they become {{gloss|dying}}, they go up a level.

PCs may also receive {{gloss|wound}}s at {{gloss|ref}} discretion. Refs may also hand out extra levels of {{gloss|wound}}s that have their own cards. For example, your PC is attacked by a poisonous monster. You gain a card with a specific extra {{gloss|wound}} of "POISONED: Lose 1 Maximum Hit"

A character's {{gloss|wounds}} heal naturally over time, and a {{gloss|PC}} loses 2 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} at the end of each {{gloss|interactive}}, regardless of whether they were played or not.

{{gloss|Wounds}} may by physical or mental, this has no effect on the {{gloss|skill needed}} to treat them, it is always the Healing {{gloss|skill}}.

== Creating a Character ==

To create a character you must decide on the following 3 things:

#A faction membership
#A background
#A list of {{gloss|skills}}

For a description of the mechanics of creating a character see [[Character_Creation_Mechanics|Character Creation Mechanics]].

Conversely, for a more in-depth look at the process behind taking a character concept and developing it into a fully fledged character see [[How_to_Create_a_Character|How to Create a Character]].

Armour

2015-10-13T21:56:00Z

Sirgnome:

*Any character may wear light (leather, padded, etc) armour on the chest to gain 2 Hits
*Armour lets a character take one {{call|CRUSH}} per {{call|REFRESH}} as {{call|TRIPLE}} {{call|STRIKEDOWN}}.
*Armour 1 gives additional Hits from chest armour and allows use of Heavy armour:
:Light chest armour gives 1 additional Hit (for a total of 3 hits).
:Heavy chest armour gives 2 additional Hits (for a total of 4 hits).

::Heavy chest armour reduces your character’s Stamina by 2 (To a minimum of 0) and lets them take {{call|CRUSH}} as {{call|TRIPLE}} {{call|STRIKEDOWN}} as often as you wish.
::Heavy armour should appear to be made of metal.
*Armour 2 and 3 each allow you to cover an extra location with armour for additional hits:
:The 3 valid locations are both legs, both arms and the head.
:An additional location covered in light armour gives 1 additional Hit.
:An additional location covered in heavy armour gives 2 additional Hits.

Metal armour may be {{gloss|physrep}}ped by metal or by lighter-weight materials such as polyurethane "Norton plate". The Refs have the final call on what counts as metal.

<blockquote>For example, Sarah the Hegemony Soldier has Armour 3. In her full plate armour, which is metal and covers her torso, both arms and both legs, she would gain 8 {{gloss|hits}} (4 from a metal torso, 2 from metal arms and 2 from metal legs).
She doesn’t want to wear full battle armour at an Interactive. She wears leather leg armour and bracers instead. As this only qualifies for Light Armour for those locations, she only gains 5 {{gloss|hits}}, but may still take any number of {{call|CRUSH}}es as {{call|TRIPLE}} {{call|STRIKEDOWN}} due to still having the metal torso.</blockquote>

'''Use of Money in Creating Talismans and Magical Equipment'''

Due to the fact that Destruction of Currency is a Major Crime, PCs are assumed to '''not''' directly use money to make items with Talismancy.

You can create an additional {{gloss|talisman}} for every 2 extra {{gloss|participants}}, {{gloss|participants}} that know the skill being used count double but become targets of the {{gloss|ritual}}. Creating a {{gloss|talisman}} can only be done at a workshop in {{gloss|downtime}} or at the {{gloss|portal}}.

Making a {{gloss|talisman}} costs:
* Lv1: 24 {{gloss|Ducatto}}
* Lv2: 32 {{gloss|Ducatto}}}}

{{Ritual|Salvage{{ref}}|
Break down an existing {{gloss|magical item}} into valuable spare parts. Needs 1 {{gloss|participant}} per level of the item. Must be done at a {{gloss|portal}}. Requires a bead draw. White gives 25% of the value, Black 75%, Red gives nothing and the {{gloss|leader}} takes a {{gloss|wound}} as the item explodes.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Talismancy 2}}
|
{{Ritual|Artifice{{ref}}|
Make and recharge a piece of {{gloss|magic equipment}} that replicates a single L1 or 2 profession or combat {{gloss|skill}} other than Talismancy. One {{gloss|participant}} must know the {{gloss|skill}} you are creating equipment for. The targets are an object to be empowered and at least one {{gloss|participant}} that is providing the skill.
*L1 Item: 40 {{gloss|Ducatto}} to create, 32 to recharge.
*L2 Item: 80 {{gloss|Ducatto}} to create, 64 to recharge.}}

{{Ritual|Custom Job{{ref}}|
Each week you may make or recharge a single piece of {{gloss|magic equipment}} that only works for yourself. This costs 0 {{gloss|Ducatto}} and otherwise works the same as ''Artifice'', with the same restrictions. This may be performed in uptime, the same as any Ritual.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Talismancy 3}}
|
{{Ritual|Greater Talismancy{{ref}}|
As ''Petty Talismancy'' but for a {{gloss|spell}} or {{gloss|strike}} costing 3 or fewer {{gloss|stamina}}. This costs 56 {{gloss|Ducatto}}.}}

You may use an extra {{gloss|talisman}} per day.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Talismancy 4}}
|
{{Ritual|Masterpiece {{ref}}|
You may make and recharge a {{gloss|personal magical device}}. This costs no money to create or recharge, does not count as your one piece of {{gloss|magic equipment}}, is permanently {{gloss|attuned}} to you and can replicate a single L1-3 Combat or Profession {{gloss|skill}}. You may only have one of these in existence, creating a second one destroys the first.}}

{{Ritual|Attunement|
Perform this {{gloss|ritual}} with someone who knows the {{gloss|skill}} you want your {{gloss|personal magical device}} to copy. Your {{gloss|personal magical device}} now holds that {{gloss|skill}} for you. You may only update your device once a week.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Talismancy 5}}

{{Ability|Prototype{{ref}}|
Can attempt to create novel {{gloss|magic equipment}} or {{gloss|talismans}} with effects similar to known {{gloss|skills}} or entirely novel functions. Expense may vary.}}

{{ability|Arcane Mark|
With 10 seconds of {{gloss|appropriate roleplay}} on an {{gloss|unresisting}} target, spend 1 {{gloss|stamina}} to place a cosmetic {{gloss|effect}} on a character. Without their consent, the best you can place is a crude brand, phrase or symbol. On a willing target, you may make more complex designs. This is a strength 2 {{gloss|effect}}. You may spend addition {{gloss|stamina}} to increase the {{gloss|effect}} by the number of {{gloss|stamina}} spent. Get {{gloss|OC}} permission before drawing on or touching anyone.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Biomancy 2}}
|
{{Ritual|Glamer{{ref}}|
This creates a strength 2 {{gloss|enhancement}} for one week on a single willing {{gloss|participant}}. This {{gloss|enhancement}} can be expended to make extensive cosmetic changes to yourself. The changes are a strength 2 {{gloss|effect}} and last one week. More {{gloss|participants}} means more changes, up to changing {{gloss|racial physrep}}. Doing this will allow you to make {{gloss|downtime}} actions with a chance of not being recognised. You cannot disguise as a particular person.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Biomancy 3}}
|
{{Ritual|Protective Enhancement|
Requires at least 3 {{gloss|participants}}. Places an {{gloss|enhancement}} on the {{gloss|leader}} of the {{gloss|ritual}}. Activate this {{gloss|enhancement}} to gain one {{call|RESIST}} to the whole of any damaging call or bow/crossbow shot for the current or next {{gloss|encounter}}.
You must use this {{call|RESIST}} if you are targeted by a call with {{call|MAGIC}} in it.
Larger rituals can potentially add more {{gloss|enhancement}}s to the {{gloss|leader}}. This is a Strength 3 {{gloss|Effect}}.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Biomancy 4}}

{{Ritual|The Spirit is Willing|
Place one of the following Strength 4 {{gloss|effects}} on someone for a week. Target cannot have more than one of these active at the same time. Requires 4 {{gloss|participants}} for full effect.
;Inured to Pain
:{{call|EFFECT}} 4: "Ignore up to 4 levels of {{gloss|wounds}}".
;Ascetic
:{{call|EFFECT}} 4: "You suffer no ill effects from starvation, but still feel the desire to eat and drink. You may may ignore ingested poisons/drugs. Your {{gloss|bleed time}} increases by 60 seconds."
;Unstoppable
:{{call|EFFECT}} 4: "You may regenerate your {{gloss|hits}} and restore limbs ruined by {{call|CRUSH}} with 30 seconds of {{gloss|appropriate roleplay}}, and do not take {{gloss|wounds}} from this."}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Biomancy 5}}
|
{{Ritual|The Flesh is Clay{{ref}}|
You can affect People directly, potentially allowing moulding of their bodies. Extensive modifications, and modifications to the unwilling, are more difficult. If you wanted to kill someone, you’d be much more successful by stabbing them. Having {{gloss|participants}} trained in [[Prof:Healing|Healing]] may help. Get {{gloss|OC}} permission before drawing on or touching anyone. This is permanent, it is not an {{gloss|effect}}.}}
