Combat Terms
Combat Terms are Terms that are frequently used in Combat Roleplay (CRP), and are thus good to memorize. You will be referring back to these terms frequently and not knowing the basics may slow down Combat Roleplay. These Terms are also frequently referred to in Ability Descriptions, so to fully understand how Abilities work, you must first know these Terms and know how to apply them in Combat Roleplay.
- Abilities: Abilities refers to actions that a Character can taken during a Turn that have Cooldowns. All non-Magic Abilities are Techniques, all Magic Abilities are Powers.
- Target: A Target is always another Character/Person in a Roleplay Scene. If you can see at least half the Minecraft Character in-Game, you are able to Target the person in question.
- Cover: Cover means your Character is protected from being Targeted, without necessarily being behind physical obstacles. Cover can only ever come from certain Abilities / is Temporary.
- Attack Emote: Attack Emote means using a Turn to perform a Weapon/Magic Attack on a Target. When using an Attack Emote, you cannot also use Abilities in the same Turn unless specified.
- Main Offense Stat: Main Offense Stat is a Number based on Proficiency used for Attack Emotes on Targets. By default this is Strength, but some Abilities change the Proficiency used.
- Main Defense Stat: Main Defense Stat is a Number based on Proficiency used for Defending against Attacks. By default this is Constitution, but some Abilities change the Proficiency used.
- Block Token: A Block Token is a Resource that, if you take Damage from Abilities or Attacks, automatically triggers to reduce the Damage, and then destroy the Block Token.
- Block Rules: Block Tokens can Stack, never more than 3 per Person, don't prevent Effects (like Displaced/Status Effects), and must be tracked in Nicknames (/nick use Harry 10 HP 3 BT)
- Armored: Whether by wearing an Armor Minecraft Skin, or using a Summon Armor Ability, this automatically grants 1 Block Token, which is automatically refreshed when Combat Ends.
- Stagger: If you are Staggered, the Ability or Attack Emote you tried to do is interrupted, and has no effect or Damage. This never puts Abilities on Cooldown when used to interrupt.
- Dispel: Dispel can only be used on Powers. If you are Dispelled, it means your Power (Ability) was interrupted, and no effects or Damage applies. Dispel puts Abilities on Half Cooldown.
- Displaced: If you are Displaced, it means your Character is forcibly being moved from where they are, to somewhere else, often called Knock-back, Knock-down, being Pushed, etc.
- Stance Ability: A Stance Ability is a kind of Battle-Mode which grants specific Effects or gives access to new Abilities, they are indefinite and cannot be Dispelled/Staggered.
- Stance Rules: Only one Stance can be active at any time. Entering a Stance does not consume a whole Turn, but changing from one Stance into another does consume a whole Turn.
Status Effects
Status Effects are Effects that stick with a Character unless certain conditions are met. Most Status Effects have a time limit, some require additional actions. A Character can only be affected by one Status Effect, and Status Effects of the same kind do not Stack. Abilities may have additional rules concerning the use of Status Effects, for example, some Abilities affect how Brittle works. This will always be mentioned in the Abilities themselves.
Status Identity
Status Identity is how a Character can be identified by specific in-Lore/OOC Terms. These are not necessary to memorize, but they can become relevant to debates or rhetorical discussions in Character.
- Mundane: If you are Mundane, you have no Magic or Powers of any kind, not even God Magic. This is what Purists consider Purity.
- Purists: Purists are people who consider Magic or Powers evil, unless they are granted by their own specific God(s).
- Non-Occult: If you are Non-Occult, you have Magic or Powers like God Magic, but never from another Dimension like the Void or Exist.
- Occult: If you are Occult, you have Magic or Powers, specifically from another Dimension like the Void and Exist.
- Disguised: Disguised means that a Character cannot be recognized, even if they look similar. This is always only because of Abilities.
