Safety
General Safety
The safety of all who attend Forsaken Lands LARP events is absolutely paramount. This includes making
sure Forsaken Lands LARP events are a comfortable, fun and inclusive environment for all attendees to role
play within. It is the responsibility of all attendees to make sure they conduct themselves in a manner that
does not cause others any distress or harm. Anyone found acting in a manner deemed unsuitable for
Forsaken Lands LARP will be dealt with by the Forsaken Lands Team.
There is a potential for scenarios at Forsaken Lands LARP to become intense, meaning emotions may be
running high, we ask all attendees to remain aware of others around them at all times and act accordingly
to make the game enjoyable for all. There is also a possibility of scenarios at Forsaken Lands LARP
becoming frightening or distressing, we ask that you keep aware of when things no longer become a game
for both yourself and others around you. Please seek assistance from the Forsaken Lands Team if you notice
in yourself, or anyone around you, things becoming unsafe.
There are specifically designed elements of the game that might provoke negative responses to a character's
race, e.g. the Skorn, if and when engaging with these elements of the game please remember that at all
times it should remain in character, and anyone found to be bringing these elements out of character will be
dealt with accordingly by the Forsaken Lands Team.
At all times please listen out for Safety Calls. These will be used at events to help make sure safety related
incidents are dealt with swiftly and as smoothly as possible;
Weapon Safety
Forsaken Lands utilises LARP safe shields and weapons to allow for fun and realistic combat. All weapons,
including bows and arrows, must undergo a safety check by a member of the Forsaken Lands Team prior to
use at an event. The Forsaken Lands Team will check every item to ensure that they are safe, as safety for all
those who attend Forsaken Lands events is paramount. There are also specific guidelines for armour that
must be adhered to, and that dictate the protection the armour provides during gameplay. If an item is
found to be unsafe, the Forsaken Lands Team will ask the item’s owner to secure it in an out of character
area and subsequently it will not be allowed to be used during the event.
Please note when purchasing items described as LARP safe or equivalent, they might not adhere to
guidelines used by specific LARP systems and therefore may not pass the required checks. If under any
doubt when purchasing items for use at a Forsaken Lands event, contact the Forsaken Lands Team and they
will advise where possible.
The Forsaken Lands Team will use the guidelines in the Weapon Guidelines, Shield Guidelines and Armour
Guidelines subsection as a general rule whether or not an item passes a safety check, but will assess each
item on a case by case basis. Remember at all times we are aiming to make Forsaken Lands LARP a safe and
fun system for all.
It is the responsibility of the individual using any item to check it for damage. Any damaged items should
be secured in an out of character area and not used during the event.
In some cases the Forsaken Lands weapons check team may find that the weapon or shield can be fixed on
site and will have some materials on site to help, This will be offered on a case by case basis.

Setting & World

Background
It has long been believed that in ancient times the Forsaken Lands went by a different name, a name now
lost to the winds. It was said to have once been a place of spectacular beauty and wonder.
What is known however, is that at some point long ago a power hungry sorcerer ravaged the lands, wielding
magic gifted from a creature hidden in the void. Intent on rising above any who would stand in their way,
no matter who they were or where they were from. Even the Gods feared this new found power. They fled,
leaving behind a massacre as the darkness rippled across the lands. The lands became forsaken.
No one knows what became of the sorcerer but as time passed great nations began to form under blood
soaked banners, birthed in the fires of war. The battles were brutal, with celestials scorching the earth,
demons ravaging the land, and the undead howling in the shadows all around.
Many years later, and only several hundred years ago from the present, a champion rose to unite the nations
against the darkness that plagued them. Under the champion's banner the nations began to fight the
darkness back into the void, forming an alliance to bring about peace to the Forsaken Lands. Eventually the
champion was crowned ruler, and the nations ceased their fighting.
But that was several hundred years ago… and the darkness is spreading once again.
Nation Overview
The Forsaken Lands are inhabited by six nations that sit beneath one ruling state;
The Amperitus State
People: Amperiti
Language: Common
Lands: Khaldera
The ruling state of the Forsaken Lands. A bastion of faith, strength, magic, creation and knowledge. It is
within Khaldera that the Khaldras reside, casting their eye over all. It is here that the kinds of decisions are
made that can both raise nations up, and damn them down.
Page 9
If by the blessings of the Amperitus Senate a person is allowed to walk the streets of Khaleth, the City of
Light, they will shed a tear in the presence of its overwhelming awe. Every structure is a work of
magnificence, every decoration filled with the light of the Khaldras.
To those that claim to have laid eyes upon the city, many have said it is the paradise they seek at life's end.
No nation holds rank within the Amperitus State, the word of the Khaldras is undeniable. Many tales across
the six nations speak of the end of days and they all vary except for one thing…
The Khaldras will stand with them and face the Forsaken.
The Iblitas Nation
People: Iblitasi
Language: Iblitasi
Lands: Ibi’sul
A nation of spice and sand, the Iblitasi are born under the harsh unforgiving sun in the South West of the
Forsaken Lands. The Iblitasi stalk behind an orange banner of the twin suns. Stories claim that Iblitas is the
richest of the nations, hoarding oceans of gold and sun-kissed treasures. However, those who truly know
the Iblitasi know they do not see wealth when they look upon such things. And, as much as the tales tell of
riches, they also speak of life upon the dunes, surviving the scorching desert sands.
Cities are few and far between in Ibi’sul, but what jewels they are. Towering pillars of sandstone stretching
skyward over brightly coloured bizzares that brim with both opportunity and possibility.
For those who have the nerve, there is life beyond the cities. A nomadic life of risk and splendour. A
mystical place said to be full of creatures of magic and wishes, who’ll offer travellers their wildest dreams
for blood and souls. That and beasts unwilling to share their hunting grounds stalking the dunes and oases.
The Iblitas Nation are led by Shabanu Evalisia T’vas III, Queen of the Sands. Her High Vizir, Nazor keeps a
watchful eye over the goings on across Ibi’sul.
The Iblistasi people hold the following five principles sacred;
Wealth means more than just the coins in your hand.
Chosen family surpasses even that of blood, there is no greater loyalty to be found.
Page 10
The gods are beyond our influence, they cannot be bargained with and should be left to their own will.
Honour your own hospitality, and that of others.
The Jormuu Nation
People: Jormuun
Language: Jormuun
Lands: Fjordlands
A nation of hardy people, forged in the cold reaches of the frost bitten mountains in the north east. The
Jormuu respond to the call of the Horn behind a green banner of the neverending serpent. Death is closer to
the Jormuun than any other, for the very landscape they call home is harsh and unforgiving. The Fjordlands
are also fragmented, with the Bleed encroaching each day.
Every icy sunset and frozen sunrise is a blessing from the Serpent for the Jormuun. Defending the
homestead and pushing back the dangers they face has simply become a way of life. The mountains give
birth to the strength of the Jormuun and they harness it within their very souls.
Whether child or elder, all know the threat, all fight it, all die to it, but never will they bow to it. To be
Jormuun is to be the power of stone and storm. Bearing not only your might but those of your kith and kin
beside you.
A typically first into fray nation, there is little regard for lengthy politics among them. As much as they
won't shy away from scrapping with each other, the Jormuun will stand side by side until their last breath if
called upon.
The Jormuu are led by the High Jarl Arne Jotnarson and the High Shaman Ylva Ulfsdottir. Together
providing physical and spiritual prowess.
The Jormuun people hold the following five principles sacred;
Mercy is given once, never twice.
Our shoulders carry the mountains, the mountains carry us.
All are equal in the mouth of the serpent.
Page 11
We shall not falter, we shall not tremble, we shall not break.
Hiding is for those who fear the sight of their own blood.
The Minorath Nation
People: Minorathian
Language: Mino
Lands: Myrmora
A strong nation in the South taught from a young age to withstand whatever punishment the Forsaken
Lands may throw at them. The Minorathians form behind a blue banner of the horned bull.
It is not enough to simply face the dangers of the Bleed. One must do so with glory in their hearts, forging
songs of heroism as they go. Inspiring ballads are told and told again at every fire the Minorathians find
themselves at. Whether travelling across Mymora or simply in the presence of a Minorathian, there is
always celebration nearby. Victory against their enemies, no matter how minor or great, is worth the raising
of a glass.
To take steps in the cities of the Minorathian’s is as walking each word of the greatest tales. In the home, in
the markets and in battle they will always find those moments worth telling. From their youngest to the
eldest, the Minorathians know how to live well, bathed in the light of the sun.
A typically brash nation, with a head first mentality often placing them at the spearhead of action. Despite
some divides between individual families, the Minorathian people stand strong together against any who
would threaten their nation.
The Minorathians are led by the mighty King Perdicas II. He is known for both his might and mind.
The Minorathian people hold the following five principles sacred;
Celebrate life at every opportunity, it is for living after all.
Educate your mind and strengthen your body, we will be the last to fade.
History is our beginning, remember it, expand it.
Attack and defend with both weapon and word, but most importantly with your heart.
Page 12
Strive for glory! Always!
The Olgari Nation
People: Olgari Striders

Language: Olgaran
Lands: Olgari Plains
A nation of fierce striders whose roars echo across the eastern plains. The Olgari ride behind a purple
banner of the horse. The spirits of great steeds hammer the ground beneath, bringing the thunder of the
spirit realm with them.
No walls are built upon the Olgari Plains, for nothing out paces an Olgarian’s steeds. They would never
gamble the souls of their families on walls and gates. That, and their souls are not made to be caged.
Tradition is everything to the Olgari. Break bread with someone and you are considered their friend, betray
them and there is no archon in any realm that will stop them seeking blood.
When you have travelled the plains, living off the land, aiding those that need it you may be visited by the
spirits of the great steeds. Show them respect and they will lead you to the sprawling tent cities, here you
will see the true hearts of the Olgari Striders
The Olgarian people hold the following five principles sacred;
Pride first.
All who contribute are welcome.
Do not become useless.
The ride across the grey fields should be embraced.
Mourn a Khan's passing without weapons drawn until the rising of the next sun, then crimson shall pour.
The Wyveris Nation
Page 13
People: Wyver
Language: Wyvarian
Lands: Wyveria
A proud and stalwart nation found in the north west, seeking to bring order to the chaos that is the
Forsaken Lands. The Wyver stand behind a gold banner of the amphithere. When your heart is tested in the
shadow of the Bleed there are no better people to have at your side.
They will not yield in the face of threat, they will not dishonour their Monarchy. Nor will they allow those
weaker than them to face darkness alone. Strong castles of dark stone and iron clad defenders make sure
their people take another breath each dawn. Nobility is earned and kept through deed and action. The
Wyverns stand side by side as stalwart knights, in life and battle.
The Wyvaran people hold the following five principles sacred;
Prowess is a gift, do not use it sparingly.
Your blood for the Wyvern, the monarch and the nation.
Develop those less able, the Wyveris will thrive.
Bare no second thought for those not worthy.
Hold the Wyvern close and rise again.
The Yo’kiri Nation
Page 14
People: Yokan
Language: Yokan
Lands: Yo’kann Uzu
Of all the nations Yo’kiri is often seen as the most peaceful, but when provoked the Yokan have a ferocious
side to them not to be trifled with. The Yokan wait patiently behind a red banner of the blossom. Death is
precious throughout Yo’kann Uzu. It is the eternal reward for a life given by the many petals of the elder
blossoms.
Mentor and student in all manner of living. Pass on what one has learnt. To harbour skillful knowledge is a
sin against the Yokan people. Only death has the power to halt the passing of it. Every blossom is sacred,
prophetic some say. With each falling of the bloom the Yokan are a step closer to the final death. When the
dams of the Bleed burst and oceans of blood flow.
The Yokan people hold the following five principles sacred;
Death has the final say, respect it always.
Respect those who have walked the lands longer than you, honour those who have used the steps wisely.
Prepare for the last blossom, when the petals fall, you will be ready.
Make ready your soul, when steel is needed, forge it from within.
Your weapon is an extension of your soul, treat it as such.
The Bleed
The space between, beyond the boundaries of what is considered civilised society. In the Forsaken Lands
borders shift and change on a daily basis with incursions from the void, land disputes and political trade
offs all playing their part in reshaping them. The bleed is the areas where rule fails to extend, and where
those who do not want to be ruled call home. Some areas become bleed only briefly, perhaps after a
demonic attack in which a spot of land is left barren, and the opportunistic scoundrels who swept in are
cleared out soon after. Other areas have become more renowned for being places that are not so easily
cleared out, and not the kind of place to be finding yourself without good reason.

Character Creation
Basics
All characters start with a base of two total body hit points.
All characters can use any weapons and wear any armour.
Individuals must pick one story skill from the story skill options.
Individuals must pick a class from the Starting Class options. Each class starts with three skills for free.
Each individual starts with ten skill points to spend on their chosen class’ skills.
Story Skills
When creating a character for Forsaken Lands, individuals must pick one story skill to start with. An
individual with a specific idea as to how they envisage their background may speak to the Game Team to
potentially generate a custom background skill.
Skill Description
An individual with this skill must immediately return to life with one body hit point
the first time they die. This can only ever be done once.
Dark Fate Once this has been enacted, they must immediately seek a Referee (Seer) or a member
of the Forsaken Lands Team and inform them they have used this skill.
The individual will then be subject to a dark fate.

Drakar are humans whose lineage has at some point mixed with that of a, or been
interfered with by a, dragon. Drakar can usually be identified by abnormalities such
as markings on their skin, unusual colouring to their eyes, or strange bone structures.
Drakar tend to go one way or the other in society, they are either hailed as individuals
of great power, or shunned as strange folk who should not be trusted. The populous
are often fickle, and are quick to use such abnormalities as an excuse to slander an
individual if they slip up.
The type of dragon the individual is connected to is determined by the Game Team
upon the individual taking this skill.
Drakar An individual with this skill may once a day appropriately role play for ten seconds to
call forth minor draconic powers. For the next minute they are considered to have the
following;
Ten second regeneration.
Immunity to normal effects except for normal obliterate and assassinate.
May add their dragon type to any of their mass, point or strike actions they use.
Unless stated otherwise an individual with this skill loses the ability to call forth
draconic powers if they have any level of Soul Taint.
Page 16
Over time an individual with this skill may start to discover more about their lineage.
Faeral are humans whose lineage has at some point mixed with that of a, or been
interfered with by a, creature of the spirit realm. The Faeral can usually be identified
by abnormalities such as markings on their skin, unusual colouring to their eyes, or
strange bone structures. Although not completely shunned, the Faeral often find
themselves having a more difficult time of things, especially those with more
noticeable abnormalities. The Faeral can find it difficult to integrate with anyone but
their own kind, and have rarely been known to hold rank. Many of the Faeral find
themselves pushed out to the edges of society, or to the bleed, but there are still a
Faeral
number who manage to hold on to jobs within more populated areas, even if those
jobs are not the most sought after or appealing.
An individual with this skill gains two Spirit Links to use when entering the Spirit
Realm. An individual with this skill cannot use these two Spirit Links if they have any
level of Soul Taint.
An individual with this skill is haunted by something from their past. When taking
this skill the individual can have a conversation with the Game Team as to what is
haunting them, or leave it to the Game Team. This may manifest in various different
Haunted ways both in play and during downtime, with positive and negative results.
If an individual with this skill is the successful target of an action with a fear effect,
they may immediately point and fear someone within ten feet of them.
An individual with this skill starts with rank level two. The individual is considered
to be a Lord / Lady (of Noble Family).
Noble Lineage Unless stated otherwise an individual with this skill loses all rank if they finish an
event with any level of Soul Taint.
An individual with this skill may find themselves having an easier time gaining rank.
Mythri are humans whose lineage has at some point mixed with that of a, or been
interfered with by a, creature of the celestial realm. Mythri can usually be identified
by abnormalities such as markings on their skin, unusual colouring to their eyes, or
strange bone structures. Although not completely shunned, the Mythri often find
noticeable abnormalities. The Mythri can find it difficult to integrate with anyone but
their own kind, and have rarely been known to hold rank. Many of the Mythri find
Mythri number who manage to hold on to jobs within more populated areas, even if those
Once an hour an individual with this skill may ignore a single point of damage that
would be caused by an action with the celestial type. If they do so, they instead take a
normal celestial full cure wounds.
Once an hour an individual with this skill may add the celestial type to one of their
actions.
Page 17
An individual with this skill is more susceptible to soul taint. An individual with this
skill is more likely to sway towards being celestial if their soul taint becomes high
enough.
Those of a lowly upbringing find it difficult to gain rank within the Forsaken Lands.
They often struggle to conduct themselves in a manner many of nobility expect.
Although skillful in their own right, they often avoid the higher echelons of society.
This has led them to have a knack for interacting with the lower echelons of society
however. And as many know, the lower echelons have access to far more than meets
the eye.
An individual with this skill is considered to have a contact within one of the major
cities within the Forsaken Lands. This contact may have various uses both in play and
during downtime.
An individual with this skill starts with the following item;
Lowly Upbringing Notebook of the Whispering Streets

Power Rating: Minor
Bound to <Individual>
An individual who is bound to this item may once a day write sixteen words in it. These
sixteen words can be seen by anyone and everyone else who has this item and is bound to it.
Once bound this item can never be unbound, and the individual cannot bind to another of the
same item. If the individual who this item is bound to dies, this item becomes a mundane
blank book.
A bound item may be summoned back to the individual it is bound to with one minute of
appropriate role play.
Skorn are humans whose lineage has at some point mixed with that of a, or been
interfered with by a, creature of the demonic realm. Skorn can usually be identified by
abnormalities such as markings on their skin, unusual colouring to their eyes, or
strange bone structures. Although not completely shunned, the Skorn often find
noticeable abnormalities. The Skorn can find it difficult to integrate with anyone but
their own kind, and have rarely been known to hold rank. Many of the Skorn find
number who manage to hold on to jobs within more populated areas, even if those

Gameplay
Spirit of the Game
Rather than an endless supply of referees to follow each and every player in the system the Forsaken lands
crew employ the spirit of the game rule. It exists to ensure that the game is actually fun to play.
All participants of Forsaken lands LARP events are requested to uphold the spirit of the game and not just
the letter of the rules. Referees (Seers) and members of crew can only make decisions based on information
we have to hand.
Appropriate Roleplay
There are many skills in the game that require appropriate role play to use. This allows flexibility for the
individual using the skill to act how they think their character would whilst using the skill. Individuals who
are carrying out this role play should ensure they keep it thematically and character appropriate.
Unless stated otherwise, being the target of an action that would cause damage or that would be considered
as ‘hostile’ to the individual carrying out the appropriate role play breaks the concentration of the role play
and it must be started again.
For further guidance on this please speak to a Referee (Seer) or member of the Forsaken Lands Team.
Game Time
Forsaken Lands event gameplay typically follows the following timings;
Time In Friday - Seven PM

Time Out Friday - One AM (Saturday)
Time In Saturday - Ten AM

Time Out Saturday - One AM (Sunday)
Time In Sunday - Ten AM

Time Out Sunday - Two PM
For skills that state ‘per day’ or words to that effect, a day is considered to be the periods between time in
and time out stated above, unless stated otherwise.
Referees (Seers)
In order to help achieve and maintain a high level of immersion at Forsaken Lands LARP events the
Forsaken Lands Team will, where possible, adopt the roles of Seers when in play. This will essentially
provide the Forsaken Lands Team a reason to be in and around the game play areas without breaking
immersion. The in-character reason for Seers being around can be found in the Seers subsubsection. Please
interact with Seers as you wish, but maintain an awareness that they are primarily there to referee
gameplay.
There will still be occasions where high visibility jackets may be used for ease of directing gameplay, please
treat anyone within a high visibility jacket as not ‘in play’.
Page 70
Seers
Seers, strange and ancient entities that scriptures say are the last remnants of a time before the lands
became forsaken. Their appearance within the Forsaken Lands is known to coincide with events of great
significance. They are well renowned for being unbiased creatures who lack emotional connection to the
lives of those who walk the Forsaken Lands, with their only purpose now to bear witness to its shaping.
They can however be called upon for knowledge of what is possible and what is not within the Forsaken
Lands, or how certain things would likely work should they be attempted. You may also find them paying
particular attention to rites being performed, discussions being had, and asking in regards to what
decisions have been made… all for the purpose of witnessing the present, knowing the past and some say
seeing the future.
Game Areas
Base Camp
A Referee (Seer) or member of the Forsaken Lands Team will signify to all individuals attending an event if
there is a base camp area, and where that area is. Base camp areas are more often than not protected by
wards that have been emplaced by the Amperitus.
If the base camp area is protected by these wards, no individual within them may enter their grace period or
be instantly killed unless stated otherwise. An individual entering the area who is already in their grace
period however remains in their grace period.
If individuals seek to manipulate the state of these wards, for example to duel, they may speak to a Referee
(Seer) or in some cases a member of the Amperitus. It is possible for these wards to be taken down
completely through various means.
A base camp will also typically have crafting stations that individuals can interact with. These will be
installed to increase immersion throughout gameplay. Individuals are encouraged to utilise these crafting
stations when doing things like crafting weapon upgrades, repairing armour or brewing potions.
Open Play Areas
Anywhere outside of the base camp, unless there is a linear ongoing, is considered to be an open play area.
For most purposes this is the local area around the base camp. Any individual in an open play area may be
subject to any actions without the protection of any wards that are typically in place around a base camp.
If there are any additions or changes to the rules of open play areas, a Referee (Seer) or member of the
Forsaken Lands Team will signify them to all individuals attending an event.
Linear Areas
Linear areas are areas that have been specifically designated, typically cordoned off, for players to go
‘further afield’ than the base camp and surrounding area. For example if an individual or individuals enter
the Spirit Realm. A Referee (Seer) or member of the Forsaken Lands Team will signify any linear areas to
individuals attending an event as and when they are being used.
If there are any additions or changes to the rules whilst individuals are within linear areas, a Referee (Seer)
or member of the Forsaken Lands Team will make individuals entering the linear area aware.
Page 71
Info Boxes and Markers
Throughout the various areas of gameplay, individuals may find info boxes or markers. These markers,
boxes, or the information slips within them, will be marked with a list of skills. Any individual who has a
skill that has been marked, can read the relevant information. This may give them further details about a
thing or area in which the box or marker is positioned near or within. Once the information has been read,
the information slips should be returned so that other individuals may find them.
Circles of Power
During gameplay, individuals may come across Circles of Power. These are places in which a significant
amount of power has, or can be amassed. The amount of power and the type of power will vary. There are
various different ways during play to interact with these. Overarchingly, any individual may interact with
Circles of Power and there are potential positives and negatives in doing so.
Attunement
Forsaken Lands uses attunement as a method of individuals being able to use certain more powerful items
and / or things during gameplay. Attunement provides a method of balancing out gameplay, so that
individuals cannot use too many of these items at once.
Unless stated otherwise, an individual has three attunement slots. These slots can be occupied by items or
things that require attunement.
An individual must attune or unattune in the presence of a Seer (Referee).
If an declares they are unattuning to something, the attunement slot that thing occupied is considered
unusable until the following day.
Status
Forsaken Lands uses aura, rank and soul taint to determine a number of things during gameplay.
Aura
An individual's aura is a representation of their impact across the Forsaken Lands. An individual who is
known throughout the Forsaken Lands might have a ‘Fabled Aura’, as opposed to an individual who is just
starting to make a name for themselves. An individual's aura can either be one of esteem or notoriety. Auras
are magically manifested and therefore have beneficial effects to those who have them.
An individual’s aura can increase or decrease during gameplay due to various different things. An
individual whose aura increases or decreases will be notified by a member of the Forsaken Lands Team or a
Referee (Seer).
An individual’s aura is typically displayed through their actions and how they hold themselves. An
individual’s aura is discernible through various methods in play.

Rank
An individual's rank is a representation of the position they hold among the general populace of the
Forsaken Lands. Individuals with rank hold substance among the populous, and might find themselves
having an easier time making things happen, or that people respect them and their opinions far more.
Conversely there are those among the Forsaken Lands who do not respect an ‘authority’ so much, and
therefore might have a negative attitude towards those who hold position.
An individual can acquire or lose rank in various different ways during gameplay. An individual who
acquires or loses rank will be notified by a member of the Forsaken Lands Team or a Referee (Seer).
Page 74
Forsaken Lands utilised beads attached to string to display an individual's Rank as it is meant to be easily
noticeable, for example by how they are holding themselves in a room or what they have upon their person.
The bead and string method helps identify this and allows for individuals to interact accordingly with each
other.
White string and gold beads are used in order to denote an individual's Rank, the more beads the higher the
Rank. The level column of the Rank Table dictates how many beads should be displayed, and the Equivalent
Rank column dictates the descriptive nature of the Rank.

Soul Taint
An individual whose soul becomes tainted is indicative of how far they are slipping away from the material
realm towards realms that the general populace of the Forsaken Lands often have discrepancies with, hence
being referred to a ‘taint’.
An individual can acquire or lose soul taint in various different ways during gameplay. An individual who
acquires or loses soul taint will be notified by a member of the Forsaken Lands Team or a Referee (Seer).
An individual’s soul taint is not displayed using beads and string, however is discernible by other means. An
individual who progresses up the levels of soul taint should look to alter their physical appearance, and / or
act how they deem appropriate. For example an individual who has become ‘Fractured’ might display veins
more prominently around their eyes, an individual who is ‘Corrupted’ might start growing horns, or an
individual who is ‘Radiant’ might start to have a gold blush around their cheeks.

An individual with this skill gains one body hit point and their grace period is halved.
An individual with this skill is vulnerable to either air, earth, fire or water. This is decided at random by a
member of the Forsaken Lands Team or a Referee (Seer). An individual with this skill may add this type to
any of their actions three times a day, but cannot be used more than once every hour.
Otherrealmly Faculty
An individual with this skill gains one body hit point and their grace period is halved. An individual with
this skill cannot be the target of a normal cure wound action unless by a skill that states it can target a
Fractured individual.
An individual with this skill is vulnerable to either air, earth, fire or water. This is maintained from when
the individual with this skill was subject to ‘Otherrealmly Energy’. An individual with this skill may add this
type to any of their actions once every hour.
An individual with this skill may appropriately role play for ten seconds to discern if a target within thirty
feet of them is from the material realm (if used at distance a Referee (Seer) may assist). At the end of the ten
seconds they may state 'discern material being', to which the target should respond 'ping' if they are of the
material realm.
An individual with this skill who does not have their body hit points may appropriately role play for thirty
seconds whilst remaining within five feet of a target who is willing, debilitated or unconscious and is of the
material realm. At the end of the thirty seconds they can then point and eldritch through the target. If this
deals a point of damage to the target, puts the target in their grace period, or if the target is already in their
grace period, then the individual with this skill regains a single body hit point. This skill can only be used
once every ten minutes.
Otherrealmly Link
An individual with this skill gains one body hit point and their grace period is halved. An individual with
this skill cannot be the target of a normal cure wound action unless by a skill that states it can target a

seconds they may state 'discern material being', to which the target should respond 'ping' if they are of the
material realm.
An individual with this skill who does not have their body hit points or does not have the maximum amount
of temporary body hit points they can have, may appropriately role play for thirty seconds whilst remaining
within five feet of a target who is willing, debilitated or unconscious and is of the material realm. At the end
of the thirty seconds they can then point and eldritch through the target. If this deals a point of damage to
the target, puts the target in their grace period, or if the target is already in their grace period, then the
individual with this skill regains a single body hit point. If the individual already has their maximum
amount of body hit point, then they are granted a single temporary body hit point. This skill can only be
used once every five minutes.

Game Calls
Safety Calls
Forsaken Lands has two main calls utilised for safety during events. These calls are the most important calls
in the game and should be adhered to whenever used.
Safety
This should be called loudly in threes e.g. 'safety, safety, safety!'. This dictates there has been an incident
that needs out of character attention. If this call is heard everyone should immediately and safely stop what
they are doing and await further instruction from the Forsaken Lands Team or a Referee (Seer). If it is
apparent that someone else or others around have not heard this call, repeat it so that they are made aware.
Unsafe
If an individual feels that they are unsafe in a situation to carry out the actions that they would usually be
required to do, such as taking a strike down effect in particularly muddy ground, they should call 'unsafe'
and remove themselves from the unsafe area, or seek confirmation from the individual who targeted them
with the effect that they are either happy to carry on without them taking the effect. Seek assistance from
the Forsaken Lands Team or a Referee (Seer) if required.
If an individual feels they are uncomfortable with a situation as a whole, please use this call and
immediately seek out a member of the Forsaken Lands Team.
Gameplay Calls
Forsaken Lands utilises the following calls to help direct gameplay throughout an event.
Time In
Used by a member of the Forsaken Lands Team or a Referee (Seer) to signify the beginning of the play. This
may be used after a safety call or time freeze to signify that the incident has been resolved and that play may
resume.
Time Freeze
Used by a member of the Forsaken Lands Team or a Referee (Seer) to signify a pause in play. This pause is
typically to dictate changes or effects that will happen when play recommences. Individuals who hear this
call should safely stop in place and await further instructions.
Time Out
Used by a member of the Forsaken Lands Team or a Referee (Seer) to signify the end of play.
Formats
The majority of the game revolves around the following formats in order to help keep gameplay as smooth
as possible.

These ratings will give those who have the ability to discern them, an appreciation of how powerful the
entities are, or how powerful an item is.
Page 79
Combat
Combat Basics
All characters begin with two body hit points in total.
When an individual’s body hit points are reduced to zero, they are debilitated. If checked with a skill such
as ‘Assess Condition’ the individual would respond 'zero body hits, debilitated'.
A debilitated individual can only move slowly, and cannot make any actions or use any of their skills unless
by means that state otherwise.
If an individual who has zero body hit points takes a point of damage they become unconscious and are
placed in their grace period. For purposes of healing, the individual is still considered to be at zero body hit
points. If checked with a skill such as ‘Assess Condition’ the individual would respond 'zero body hits,
dying'.
When an individual becomes unconscious, they must safely fall to the ground. The individual cannot then
move, speak, make actions or use any skills unless by means that state otherwise.
An individual’s grace period is eight minutes (overwritten by other means). An individual using a skill such
as ‘Assess Condition’ would be able to identify how far into a grace period a dying individual is. For
example, if five minutes of an individual’s grace period have depleted and they are checked by such a skill,
the response would be 'zero body hits, dying, five out of eight minutes into my grace period'.
At the end of the grace period, the individual is considered dead. If checked with a skill such as ‘Assess
Condition’ the individual would respond 'dead'.
The spirit of the individual that is dead normally goes to the Spirit Realm, to a level determined by the
Forsaken Lands Team. The spirits of the dead are retrievable and resurrection is possible. It is possible for
the spirits of the dead to go to places other than the Spirit Realm.
Body Hit Points
Each individual has body hit points. These are considered to be total body hits and are not split locationally
around the body. These body hit points are indicative of how much damage an individual can sustain before
they become unconscious and start dying. If an individual’s body hit points reach zero, they are debilitated
unless overwritten by other means. If an individual takes any damage whilst their body hit points are at
zero, they become unconscious and enter their grace period unless overwritten by other means.
The body hit points of an individual are often referred to as hit points (HP).
Temporary Body Hit Points
An individual may gain temporary body hit points. These hit points interact in the same way as body hit
points, and are considered body hit points when taking damage from any means, however if they take
damage, they cannot be regained. Temporary body hit points always deplete before body hit points do. An
individual cannot have more temporary body hit points than body hit points.
For example if an individual who has two body hit points and one temporary body hit point takes two
points of damage and then receives a full cure wounds, the one body hit point is restored but the temporary
body hit point is not.
Page 80
The temporary body hit points are often referred to as temporary hit points (THP).
Armour Hit Points
An individual may have a number of armour hit points. These are indicative of how much damage the
armour an individual is wearing can sustain. If an individual takes damage whilst wearing armour, the
individual's armour hit points deplete before their body hit points unless the effect of an action states
otherwise. Armour can be worn, natural or magical. Different types of armour can be interacted with in
different ways. The method in which natural and magical armour hit points are acquired will dictate as to
whether it can stack with worn armour.
The armour hit points of physically worn armour is typically referred to as armour value (AV).
As a base, light armour provides one armour hit point, medium armour provides two armour hit points,
heavy armour provides three armour hit points.
The armour hit points of naturally occurring armour is typically referred to as natural armour value (NAV).
The armour hit points of magically manifested armour is typically referred to as magical armour value
(MAV).
Unless stated otherwise an individual cannot have more than six armour hit points of any one type.
If an individual gains armour hit points of multiple types, they are damaged in parallel from the moment
they are equal.
For example if an individual wearing heavy armour with three armour hit points receives 2 magical armour
hit points and is then struck multiple times, the following will happen;
The first strike against them damages one armour hit point.
The second strike against them damages one armour hit point and one magical armour hit point.
The third strike against them damages one armour hit point and one magical armour hit point. Both values
are now at zero.
Debilitation
An individual who is debilitated can only move slowly, and cannot make any actions or use any of their
skills unless by means that state otherwise. Whilst debilitated the individual is considered to have zero
armour hit points.
Unconsciousness
An individual who becomes unconscious must safely fall to the ground. The individual cannot then move,
speak, make actions or use any skills unless by means that state otherwise.
Grace Period
A grace period is an indication of how long an individual’s spirit takes to leave their body when they are
dying. Typically the grace period is eight minutes, one minute for each link to the demiplanes of the Spirit
Page 81
Realm. This grace period can be extended and shortened by various means. An individual dies if they enter
their grace period and the time elapses.
Death
An individual who dies cannot move or interact with the world in any way, unless stated otherwise, and
must seek a Referee (Seer) at the earliest opportunity that does not interrupt game play.
Discern Condition
Any individual may attempt to discern the condition of a target within ten feet of them. To do so they must
spend three seconds concentrating on a willing target of the material realm and state 'discern material
condition'. This gives them the following understanding;
How many body hit points the individual has in total.

How many body hit points the individual is down.
If the target is debilitated.
If the target is unconscious.
If the target is dying.
If the target is dead.
The target does not need to be willing if they are unconscious, dying or dead.
Displacement
There are times during gameplay when an individual may become ‘displaced’. The means in which they are
displaced will signify how long they are displaced for.
Unless stated otherwise a displaced individual is subject to the following rules;
The individual must hold up a yellow displacement tag to signify they are currently displaced. Whilst they
are holding up a yellow displacement tag, they can only be interacted with by means that allow interaction
with displaced individuals.
Whilst displaced the individual cannot move but is considered to be able to see and hear everything that is
going on around them. Also the individual cannot interact with anyone or use any actions unless they state
otherwise.
Once the signified duration finishes, or if the individual is the target of an action that causes damage, the
individual must put the yellow displacement tag down, and is no longer considered to be displaced. If the
individual chose to displace themselves, they may also choose to end the displacement early.
Stealth
There are times during gameplay when an individual may enter ‘stealth’. The means in which they enter
stealth will signify how long they are stealthed for.
Unless stated otherwise a stealthed individual is subject to the following rules;
The individual must hold up a grey stealth tag to signify they are currently stealthed. Whilst they are
holding up the grey stealth tag, they can only be interacted with by means that allow interaction with
stealthed individuals.
Page 82
Whilst stealthed the individual cannot move but is considered to be able to see and hear everything that is
going on around them. Also the individual cannot interact with anyone or use any actions unless they state
otherwise.
Once the signified duration finishes, or if the individual is the target of an action that causes damage, the
individual must put the grey stealth tag down, and is no longer considered to be stealthed. If the individual
chose to enter stealth themselves, they may also choose to end the stealth early.
Searching
An individual may attempt to search a target who is within five feet of them. To do so, unless stated
otherwise, they must notify the target that they are searching them by holding up a hand towards them and
clearly stating “searching”. They must continue to state “searching” at least once every ten seconds until the
searching is completed. Unless stated otherwise, searching an individual takes thirty seconds.
An individual who has been searched, must provide the individual who has searched them with any game
items or documents they have in their possession, unless they have means to prevent this.
If there is any doubt as to whether the item or document should be passed over, the individuals should
speak to a Seer (Referee).
Under no circumstances should any out of game items or documents be passed over to an individual who is
searching.
Action
Forming Actions
An action is formed of up to four elements (as seen on the Action Table) in order, and must consist of at
least the delivery and power elements. The elements of an action, in order, are;
Delivery > Power > Type > Effect
In order to make an action, an individual must use one of the delivery methods, then where needed verbally
state the further elements of the action. For example;
An individual may successfully strike a target individual with a weapon without stating anything. The target
takes one point of normal damage because the delivery method was a strike and the power was normal.
An individual may point at another individual to target them and state 'fire blast'. This will mean that the
target individual is subject to a normal fire blast.
An individual may state 'mass brutal earth rend' and put their hands either directly up, or out in a cone, to
target individuals within ten feet around them or within ten feet of the chosen direction. All targeted
individuals are subject to brutal earth rend.
An individual may successfully strike a target individual with a weapon and state 'eldritch demonic repel'.
The target individual takes one point of eldritch damage because the delivery method was a strike and the
power was eldritch. The target is also subject to eldritch demonic repel.
Page 83
Verbally stating any elements of an action is considered to be an out of character reference. For example,
the mute effect does not stop someone from stating any elements of an action. The mute effect can however
stop an individual from using an action if it requires them to be able to speak in play.

Delivery
Mass
Mass is a method of delivery in which an individual either raises both arms above their head, or out in a
directional cone. If both arms are raised above their head, anyone within ten feet is considered to be a
target of the action. If both arms are pointed out in a directional cone, any individuals within ten feet of the
chosen cone are considered to be targets. The result of an action using this method of delivery is dictated by
the type and / or effect elements.
Point
Pointing is a method of delivery in which an individual points at the target. This method of delivery has a
maximum range of thirty feet and requires line of sight on the target unless stated otherwise. The result of
an action using this method of delivery is dictated by the type and / or effect elements.
Page 84
Pointing does not necessarily need to be done with a free hand, appropriate role play can be used as part of
this delivery. For example an elementalist wielding a sword might spin it around and then point at a target
using the sword to fire blast them.
Self
The self delivery method considers the individual taking the action to be the target. The result of an action
using this method of delivery is dictated by the type and / or effect elements.
Sound of my Voice
This delivery method is typically used by Referees (Seers) but can be used by other individuals. Everyone
who can hear the following elements of the action is considered to be the target. This delivery method will
be stated as 'sound of my voice'. For example 'sound of my voice eldritch celestial strike down'. In which
case anyone who hears the action being called out would take an eldritch celestial strike down.
Strike
A strike is a method of delivery in which a weapon makes contact with something. This method of delivery
deals a single point of damage to the target (overwritten by action type and / or effect, or if the strike causes
no damage). A strike delivery must have a power element as part of the action. The power element of the
action determines the power of the single point of damage caused by the strike. For example, striking an
individual and stating 'eldritch' deals a single point of eldritch damage to the target individual.
The weapon used to strike a target must look appropriately able to deliver an effect if used in conjunction
with an effect element of an action. For example, if an individual is striking for through, the weapon they
are using must look as though it is sharp.
An individual may not use the strike delivery method in any way quicker than once a second.
Power
Nil
Nil in regards to power means that no points of damage are caused during the action. This power is mainly
used for the purposes of areas which are magically warded to ensure that individuals within them cannot
harm others. If within one of these areas, no call is required when attacking, however 'no damage' can be
called to provide clarity in some situations. This damage cannot be used in conjunction with any further
elements of an action.
Normal
Normal is the baseline power of all non brutal or eldritch action. No call is required for actions with this
power, however 'normal' can be called to provide clarity in some situations.
Brutal
Brutal power dictates that the action cannot be countered, deflected, dodged or resisted by any means other
than that which specifically interact with the brutal actions. Individuals must clearly state 'brutal' as part of
an action using this power.
Page 85
Eldritch
Eldritch power dictates that the action cannot be countered, deflected, dodged or resisted by any means
other than that which specifically interact with the eldritch actions. Individuals must clearly state 'eldritch'
as part of an action using this power.
Type
Air / Celestial / Demonic / Earth / Fire / Silver / Spirit / Unliving / Water
The action is considered to be of the stated type for the purposes of banes, vulnerabilities and immunities.
Individuals must clearly state the type as part of an action when required (not every action will have a type).
If an individual takes a point of damage to their body hit points from an action with the unliving type, they
are considered to be ‘decaying’ unless stated otherwise. Whilst decaying an individual cannot regain any
body hit points by any means other than that which state otherwise. Whilst decaying, an individual cannot
channel or connect to life unless by means which state otherwise. If someone attempts to restore a body hit
points to them, it fails, and they must clearly state 'decaying'.
Effect
Assassinate
Target’s body hit points are immediately reduced to zero, they fall unconscious and enter their grace period.
An action containing the assassinate effect cannot be countered, deflected, dodged or resisted by any means
other than that which specifically interact with the assassinate effect.
Banish
If the target is banished whilst on a realm they are not from, they are sent back to it. This effect can be
prefixed with a power ratings, power and types e.g. 'mass lesser air banish' or 'eldritch major demonic
banish'.
In order for the banish to succeed it must hit the correct criteria as part of the action. For example a
demonic creature of moderate power rating that is the target of a 'mass lesser demonic banish' would not be
banished. Nor would the creature be banished if it was the target of a 'major air banish'. It would however
be banished if it was the target of a 'greater demonic banish'.
Blast
Deals a single point of damage to the target.
Cleanse
Removes any poison and / or a decaying status from the target individual.
Control
Target is considered to be under the control of the individual who used the action. This effect can be
prefixed with power ratings, power and types e.g. 'minor earth control' or 'eldritch moderate demonic
control'. In order for the control to succeed it must hit the correct criteria as part of the action. For example
Page 86
a earth elemental of lesser power rating that is the target of a 'mass minor earth control' would not be
controlled. It would however be if it was the target of a 'moderate earth control'.
Whilst controlled, the target must do everything they can to carry out the commands of the individual who
controlled them.
The duration of the control, unless stated otherwise is ten minutes.
If anyone believes that a control effect is being used in an unsafe manner, they should immediately speak to
a Referee (Seer).
Counter
Counter interacts with the point delivery method. Counter may be used to completely cancel an action with
the point delivery method that has happened within the last three seconds by an individual within thirty
feet of them. The individual countering the action must point at the individual who’s action they are
countering and clearly state 'counter' followed by the verbally stated elements of the action they are
countering. The skill used by an individual will dictate the power of action the counter can be used against.
For example an individual may counter an eldritch spirit blast that has just been pointed at another
individual. The target of the eldritch spirit blast ignores the action as if it has not been successful.
There are certain effect elements of an action that mean the action cannot be countered unless specifically
stated otherwise.
Cure Wound
Target immediately regains one body hit point.
This effect can be prefixed with 'full' and stated as 'cure wounds', in which case the target immediately
regains all of their body hit points.
Curse
Target is considered to be ‘cursed’. Every curse will have an associated power rating, and the effects of the
curse on an individual will be determined by the curse. The use of curses will be overseen by Referees
(Seers).
Deflect / Dodge
Both dodge and deflect interact with the damage element of an action, e.g. an individual might be able to
dodge or deflect a normal action. If an individual dodges or deflects the stated damage of an action they
ignore all elements of the action. Individuals must clearly state 'dodge' or 'deflect' when they are the target
of an action which they dodge or deflect. An individual may only dodge or deflect an action they have seen
coming.
The delivery method of an action with a dodge or deflect effect is always self. There are certain effect
elements of an action that mean the action cannot be dodged or deflected unless specifically stated
otherwise.
Drop
Target immediately falls unconscious. Target remains unconscious for one minute unless stated otherwise.
Page 87
Endurance
Target gains one temporary body hit point that unless stated otherwise lasts until time out. Temporary body
hit points can stack, however an individual cannot have more temporary body hit than body hit points.
Enthral
Target must safely do everything they can to remain within five feet of the individual who has targeted them
for the next thirty seconds. If the individual who has targeted them takes any other action the enthral ends
immediately. There are some skills that allow the enthraller to maintain this effect for longer than thirty
seconds, these should be made obvious when used.
The individual who has targeted them should be appropriately role playing a reason in which they should
be following them. For example if enthralled by an individual's voice, the enthraller must continue to speak
to the target. Another example would be if enthralling a creature the individual might make clicking noises
or keep the creatures gaze in a hypnotic way.
Fear
Target must immediately do everything they can to stay at least thirty feet away from, where safe to do so,
the source of this action. This effect has a duration of thirty seconds unless stated otherwise.
Fortify Body
Target gains one body hit point that unless stated otherwise lasts until time out.
Mute
Target cannot speak / verbally communicate for one minute.
Obliterate
Target dies immediately. The obliterate effect cannot be countered, deflected, dodged or resisted by any
means other than that which specifically interact with the obliterate effect.
Paralysis
Target is paralysed for one minute. Whilst paralysed the target cannot move at all. An individual who is
paralysed cannot dodge or deflect actions for the duration of the paralysis.
Poison
Target is considered to be ‘poisoned’. Every poison will have an associated power rating, and the effects of
the poison on an individual will be determined by the poison. The use of poisons will be overseen by
Referees (Seers).
Purge Poison
This effect will be used in conjunction with a power rating, starting between purge and poison when using
the effect, e.g. 'purge minor poison'. The target is immediately purged of any and all poisons they are
affected by up to the power rating stated when using this effect.
Page 88
For example an individual is the target of a purge major poison, they are immediately purged of all poisons
major and below in power rating.
Redirect
An individual may use redirect, if they have a skill that allows them to do so, against an action that has
happened within the last three seconds. The individual redirecting the action must point to another
individual who has been targeted by an action in the last three seconds and then clearly state 'redirect'
followed by all elements of the action they are redirecting. The method used by an individual to redirect an
action will dictate the delivery, power, and type of action they can redirect, and range in which they can
redirect an action. The individual using redirect is then considered to be the target of that action.
For example an individual may redirect a brutal demonic obliterate action an enemy has just struck an
adjacent individual with. The individual who used the redirect effect is then considered to have been struck
by brutal demonic obliterate.
The delivery method of an action with a redirect effect is always self.
An individual cannot redirect an action that has already been redirected.
Regenerate
Target regains one body hit point periodically over a duration. The period and duration are determined by
the method in which the regenerate effect has been given.
For example an individual may receive thirty second regeneration for ten minutes. The individual would
then regain one body hit point every thirty seconds for ten minutes.
Remove Fear
Removes a fear effect from a target. The power of the action in which this is used, must match the power of
the action in which the fear effect came from.
For example, if an individual has taken an eldritch fear and is then the target of a mass normal remove fear,
it does not work. If someone uses an eldritch remove fear on them, it does.
Rend
Immediately reduces the target's armour hit points to zero. If the target has no armour hit points, the
target’s body hit points (including temporary body hit points) are reduced to zero, they fall unconscious and
enter their grace period. If a shield is hit by rend, the shield is considered to be destroyed, unless stated
otherwise, and cannot be used again until repaired. A destroyed shield can be repaired through various
means. If an individual is holding a destroyed shield and the destroyed shield is hit by an action, the
individual holding the destroyed shield is considered to be the target of that action.
Repel
Target must immediately, where safe to do so, move ten feet away from the source of this action.
Resist
An individual may resist, if they have a skill that allows them to do so, the effect of an action that has
happened to them within the last three seconds. If an individual resists an action they ignore the effect
Page 89
element of the action. The method in which an individual is able to use the resist effect will dictate the
delivery, power, and type of action they can resist an effect from, and the effects that they can resist. When
resisting an effect an individual must clearly state 'resist' followed by the effect element of the action they
are resisting.
The delivery method of an action with a resist effect is always self. There are certain effect elements of an
action that mean the action cannot be resisted unless specifically stated otherwise.
Resolve
If the target is debilitated or unconscious they may walk at a normal speed, but not run, for ten seconds
before returning to their original state. For the duration the target cannot use any actions, but can choose to
ignore any actions against them except for those which contain the obliterate effect. If the target regains
any of their body hit points this effect immediately ends. This does not stop their grace period from
depleting, and if the target dies this effect immediately ends.
Sever
For the next hour the target has no grace period. If an individual is the target of this effect whilst already in
their grace period, they immediately die. For the duration of the effect they are considered to be 'severed'. A
severed individual cannot enter the Spirit Realm.
Sleep
The target must safely and immediately fall to the floor, becoming unconscious and in a sleep from which
they cannot be awoken for ten seconds. After ten seconds the target is no longer unconscious and wakes up.
If an individual is targeted by a sleep effect and does not feel as though they can safely drop to the floor,
they may instead remain standing whilst unconscious and in a sleep from which they cannot be awoken for
ten seconds.
Snare
Target is snared for thirty seconds. Whilst snared the target must stand in the same spot, and cannot dodge
or deflect any incoming actions for the duration.
Strike Down
Target should safely drop to both knees and remain in place for ten seconds. During this ten second period
the target can act as normal, including continuing to fight, other than remaining on their knees and in
place. An individual becomes immune to any further strike down effects for the duration of, and for a
further ten seconds post, a strike down effect upon them.
If an individual is targeted by a strike down effect and does not feel as though they can safely drop to both
knees, they may instead take a stun effect.
Stun
Target is stunned for ten seconds. Whilst stunned the target cannot move or use any skills for the duration
unless stated otherwise.
Subdue
Page 90
Deals a single point of damage that cannot put the target in their grace period. If a target is successfully hit
with a subdue effect whilst at zero body hit points they still become unconscious but do not enter their
grace period. The target remains unconscious for ten minutes unless stated otherwise.
Taunt
Target is compelled to aim any of their own, what they consider to be offensive, actions towards the
individual who used this action for ten seconds. The target must do this to the best of their ability unless
there is reason enough not to, e.g. the individual using the taunt effect has done so from behind a wall of
other individuals and therefore they cannot get to them.
Through
The action ignores any armour hit points that the target has and deals a single point of damage to the
target’s body hit points.
Strengths & Weaknesses

There are numerous reasons that an individual may find themselves with strengths and / or weaknesses.
Bane
Bane interacts with the type element of an action, e.g. an individual might take bane from air type actions.
If an individual is dealt any damage to their body hit points (including temporary body hit points) from an
action containing a type they take as bane, their body hit points are immediately reduced to zero, they
become unconscious and are placed in their grace period.
Vulnerable
Vulnerabilities interact with the type element of an action, e.g. an individual might be vulnerable to air type
actions. If an individual is the target of an action containing a type they are vulnerable to, they cannot resist
the effect the action has by any means.
Immunity
An individual might find themselves immune to any elements of an action.
If an individual is immune to a delivery method of an action they are the target of, they ignore the action
and must clearly state 'immune' followed by the delivery method they are immune to.
If an individual is immune to the power of an action they are the target of, they ignore the action and must
clearly state 'immune' followed by the power they are immune to.
If an individual is immune to the type of an action they are the target of, they ignore the action and must
clearly state 'immune' followed by the type they are immune to.
If an individual is immune to the effect of an action they are the target of, they ignore the effect element of
the action and must clearly state 'immune' followed by the effect they are immune to.
