[LETHAL COMBAT RULES]

!!!Lethal Combat does not follow the Default Combat System that the rest of the server does. Please be aware of the Rolling Rules for Lethal Combat!!!

	Lethal Combat covers all kinds of potentially life-ending forms of Battle: Cullings, Murders, Throne Challenges, Highblood Rages, Turf Wars, Events, etc. While Lethal Combat CAN be ended without either party dying, it is a Risk that must be taken into consideration if you are going to include your character into a Lethal Battle.

Lethal Combat is typically ‘Multi-Round Combat: Turn Based’ ending in either a Surrender or a Death. While this can be changed from battle to battle on Moderator Discretion, assume all forms of Lethal Combat to be carried out in ‘Multi-Round Combat: Turn Based’. Each Turn has the potential to end in Severe Injury or Death, as well as cumulative injuries from continuing rounds of Combat.
This can get graphic. Please be aware of the risk being taken.

NOTE: If you are going to enter Lethal Combat, please tag @Moderation to come oversee the battle to ensure that rules are being properly adhered to.


>[Multi-Round Combat: Turn Based]
	The first step for Lethal Combat is deciding how many Rounds to fight for, or if you are just going to fight until Submission or Death. Be aware that the number of rounds you fight for increases chance of Severe Injury or Death.

At the start of each ‘Turn’ Players will roll for the outcome of the ‘turn’ of posts (one post per person) and roll again for the next ‘turn’ until they’ve completed all Rounds of Combat, either through Fleeing, Surrender, or Death.

Like all Combat, Successful Attacks are decided by the Higher Roll using relevant Modifiers. Both Combatants will make a 1d20 Roll, plus relevant Modifiers, and depending on the Outcome of the Roll, one or both Players will Hit or Miss.

Both Players Roll 1d20 + Mods
-If the Player of Players roll a Nat 1, that Character messes up and becomes Vulnerable. Add +1 to the Opponent's Outcome for the Turn
-If the Player or Players roll 2-10, the attack leaves no severe wound but hits (1d12 from Chaotic Casual Table, see below)
-If the Player or Players roll 11-22 (excluding Nat 20), roll the Relevant 1dX for the Harmful Injury Table (see below)
-If the Player or Players roll a Nat 20, they can choose to KILL or SPARE the opponent
-If the Player or Players roll above a 23 due to Modifiers, any number above 23 gives the Player the option to KILL or SPARE the opponent


>[Legalities of Lethal Combat]
	While senseless Murder is considered HIGHLY Illegal there are certain Legal Avenues one can avoid incarceration or criminal culling with.

‘Legal’ reasons behind the Death of another Troll caused by combat are: Self Defense, Defense of Loved Ones or Relatives, Protection of Property, or Plausible Cause (being tormented by someone relentlessly without it going over the line of 'Illegal' activities, Intentionally Inciting Highblood Rage, etc).

If a Character kills another Character through Lethal Combat without meeting any of those Criteria, the Murderer will then become a Wanted Criminal and lose ‘Consent to Kill’. The Moderation Team reserves the right to allow Drones to target the Murderer in Public Spaces (in which case the Player will be informed of this decision).


>[Fleeing from Battle]
	Fleeing or Retreating from a Lethal Combat Situation counts as your Full Turn. You forfeit your ability to Roll against your Opponent for this round of Combat. !!!WARNING: Fleeing from Battle may still result in Death!!!

During this Round, the Opponent may roll 1d20 plus Relevant Modifiers if they choose to make an 'Opportunity Attack' instead of allowing the combatant to Retreat. If the combatant is allowed to Flee without an Opportunity Attack, the combat ends.

The Attacking Player must roll for their Opportunity Attack.
- Roll a 1-10, Opponent Retreats without Injury
- Roll 11-22 (Nat 20 excluded) and roll an Injury for the Opponent from the Common Injury Table.
- Nat 20 and any rolls above 23 are Death for the Opponent caused by the Opportunity Attack.

>[Harmful Injuries]
    Some Characters have larger Injury Tables than others due to Genetic Permutations. Please roll for the Relevant Injury Modifier for your Character. Negative Roll Modifiers to the current fight can stack with each other (Blindness in one eye + stab wound = -2 for current fight) but cannot stack together with injuries of the same type unless otherwise stated (stab wound + stab wound does NOT = -2). If one person rolls the same outcome twice, they do not receive an additional Negative Modifier but will take visible damage.

ALL of these injuries MUST be documented in profiles under 'Additional' following the Fight.

(General: 1d10)
