Clarification on 3.4.3

Postby Gustav » Tue Jan 25, 2011 8:31 pm

So, as has been previously established, I'm a crossover player from Amtgard. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around some of the more subtle differences in the two rulesets. Also, it looks to me like the rules on the main page don't match the .PDF version, at least in this instance.


Situation #1:

My arm is wounded by a slash from a class 1. It is then stabbed. Am I:

Not Dead (further class 3 hits to a wounded arm are ignored) or
Dead (that only applies if the arm was stabbed)?


Situation 2:

I have armor on my torso, and my arm has been wounded by a slash from a class 1. It is then hit again by a class 1. Am I:

Not Dead (carries through to the armored torso) or
Dead (second arm shot kills)?

In general, the rules listed on the website are the most accurate: http://www.belegarth.com/rules.php. They're missing the most recent changes from last month, I need to get those up there.

Situation 1: Dead. For gameplay purposes, the arm is considered entirely gone.

If it had been stabbed instead of slashed, then yes, it could take additional stabs with no effect.

Situation 2: Not dead. Second shot carries through to the armored torso.

In situation 2, you would also need to stop and think where that stab would have landed if your arm were "hopped off." Say the top bicep/tricep/arm area. Shot travels through to... the spot on your body that would contain the guts where your arm was? I'd say that's a hit. But I've never seen either of these situations in 10 years of fighting.
