== Overview ==

Wizards and Warlords features full-contact combat using padded foam weapons in a controlled and immersive environment. Combat is designed to be fast, fluid, and cinematic, but it must always be safe and respectful.

== Combat Safety Rules ==

''Wizards and Warlords'' is a '''full-contact''' combat LARP using padded foam weapons. While we strive for exciting and dynamic battles, safety always comes first.

All participants must:
* '''Pull their blows''' to avoid causing harm.
* '''Avoid excessive force''' during combat.
* '''Remain aware''' of their surroundings and fellow players.
* '''Use only approved, LARP-safe weapons.'''

Minor injuries may occur during physical play. '''First aid equipment is available on-site.'''

== CODE RED: Emergency Protocol ==
In the event of a serious injury or emergency on the field, any player may call out '''"CODE RED."'''

If you hear '''"CODE RED"''':
* '''Immediately stop fighting''' and check your surroundings.
* '''If safe''', sit or kneel where you are raise your weapon above your head and repeat “CODE RED” until combat around you stops.
* The player who initiated the call may '''remain standing''' to assist organizers in locating the injured individual.

The player who initiated the call may remain standing to help organisers locate the injured individual.

=== Resuming the Game ===
Once the situation has been resolved, the GM will call '''"GAME ON"''' or sound the horn to resume play.

== Hit Points ==
Each character has a '''base number of Hit Points (HP).'''

* Most players begin with '''2 HP'''.
* Some classes may begin with '''4 HP'''.
* Additional HP can be gained through '''armour''', '''costume pieces''', or '''bonuses'''. See [[Armour and Hit Points]].

== Hit Locations ==
Only specific areas of the body are considered '''valid targets''' during combat.

=== Valid Target Zones ===
* Arms: upper arm, elbow, forearm
* Legs: thigh, knee, lower leg
* Torso: upper chest, belly, upper back, lower back

=== Out-of-Play Zones ===
The following areas are prohibited targets:
* Head
* Neck
* Hands
* Feet
* Groin

'''Important:''' Deliberate strikes to out-of-play zones are strictly prohibited. Players should also avoid using these zones to block incoming attacks.

== Damage by Location ==
Damage depends on where the strike lands.

* '''1 HP Damage:''' Strikes to arms or legs (excluding prohibited zones)
* '''2 HP Damage:''' Strikes to the torso (any of the four torso zones)
* '''Magic Bolts:''' Deal '''4 HP damage''' regardless of hit location

== Magic Bolt Rules ==
Magic bolts have the following rules:

* '''Bypass''' shields and count if they hit any part of a players weapons, costume or armour.
* May strike '''out-of-play zones''', though players should still '''avoid aiming''' for these areas.
* Deal '''4 HP of damage''' no matter where they land.

== Weapon Pinning and Entrapment ==
During gameplay, an opponent’s weapon may become pinned against boundary netting or tangled in your equipment or armour.

'''In such cases:'''
* Players must attempt to release the weapon as soon as possible.
* Deflecting, blocking, or pushing weapons away is allowed.
* '''Purposely pinning''' an opponent’s weapon against terrain, the boundary net, or another player is '''not allowed'''.

== Blocking Projectile Weapons and Spells ==
* '''Melee weapons cannot deflect or strike projectiles or spells'''.
* Projectiles cannot be intentionally blocked using a non-target area (e.g. hands or feet).
** If a projectile is blocked by a non-target area '''but would have hit a valid target zone''', the strike '''counts as a hit'''.
** '''Hits to the head and neck never count''' as valid strikes.
* '''Spells''' count as hits regardless of where they land, including:
** Weapons
** Costumes
** Non-target areas

== Body Rushing ==
Players must '''not body rush''' opponents.

'''Body rushing''' refers to using a weapon or shield to make physical contact with another player’s body in an attempt to:
* Push them back.
* Force passage in an unsafe or aggressive manner.

''Maintaining safety and respect for other players is essential to fostering a fun and fair gameplay environment.''

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Terrain and Hazards}}
__TOC__
The battlefield in Wizards and Warlords weekly games includes interactive terrain elements designed to add strategy, immersion, and danger to every encounter. Players are expected to respect and follow all terrain rules to ensure safety and fairness.

== Terrain Pieces ==
=== Palisades ===
Palisades represent sharpened defensive barricades.

Simulated using pool noodles or similar foam props.

* '''Function:''' Block movement and line of sight
* '''Damage Rule:''' Touching the pointed part of a palisade results in 2 HP of damage

Players should avoid leaning, pushing, or attempting to climb over palisades.

=== Walls ===
Walls are solid obstacles that block physical and magical attacks, and sometimes line of sight.

* Do not run into, climb, or move walls during play
* Do not strike blindly around or through walls, this can be unsafe

Some walls include windows and doorways:

* Doorways may be used normally
* Windows may not be used to pass through or strike through

==== Low Walls ====
* Can be fought over
* Do not block line of sight of spells
* Cannot be climbed over
* For safety you cannot crouch behind low walls

Treat all wall structures with caution and respect.

== Hazards ==
Certain marked areas on the battlefield represent dangerous environmental hazards. These zones are clearly defined using coloured material and are lethal upon contact.

=== Water Hazards ===
Marked with blue material

Represents deep water

If a player steps on a water hazard, they are considered to have fallen in and are instantly eliminated

There is no escape, it is treated as an instant watery death

* The player may respawn if the game mode allows
* If not, they may stand aside and wait for resurrection

=== Pit Hazards ===
Marked with brown material

__TOC__
Armour provides '''bonus HP''' based on the type and how much of your body it covers.

'''The maximum HP a player can have (including base HP, armour, and all bonuses) is 13 HP. This is a hard cap.'''

== Armour Categories ==
Armour is divided into two categories:

=== Heavy Armour ===
* Includes '''metal plate''', '''chainmail''', '''brigandine''', or '''overlapping metal pieces''' (like lamellar or scales).
* Metal must be '''at least 1 mm thick'''.
* Lamellar and scale must '''overlap''' to count as heavy.

=== Light Armour ===
Any armour not classified as heavy, such as:
* '''Leather''' (minimum 2mm thick)
* '''Quilted padding'''
* '''Costume or plastic armour''' made to resemble metal or fantasy materials
* '''Metal-boned corsets'''

== Armour Zones and Coverage ==
The body is divided into '''16 armour zones''':

* '''Arms:''' Forearms (2), Elbows (2), Upper arms (2)
* '''Legs:''' Thighs (2), Knees (2), Lower legs (2)

* '''Maximum bonus: +4 HP''' for full-body light armour

=== Heavy Armor ===

* You '''cannot stack''' armour bonuses in the same location. If two types overlap, '''choose one''' (typically the better value).
* Heavy armour '''can be counted as light''', but '''light armour cannot be counted as heavy.'''

== Bonus HP from Costuming and Gear ==
You may earn '''additional HP''' from specific costume pieces:

=== +1 Bonus HP ===
* Wearing a '''helmet''', '''chainmail coif''', or a '''costume armour piece''' that covers the brow
* Wearing a '''full-faced creature''' or '''racial mask'''
* Wearing a '''tail '''(Drakeling characters only)
