- 1. GLOCESTER LARP (GLARP) LEAGUE MANUAL I. Introduction Hiello, am LARP Council Committee. Live Action Role Play or L.A.R.P. is the reenactment of combat, as well as a test of honor and strength. Many different types of warriors compete for different prizes in the various tournaments. II. Safety Rules • Swing lightly. • Try not to aim for the face • You may call for a timeout if you are confused or need to be refreshed about any matter. • If the referee calls time out, you must stop. Due to the somewhat complex nature of the game, sometimes you could get away with lying or cheating in some way. Though we have a referee, he can’t be watching each person individually at all times. To maintain a fair environment, please be true to your word. III. Game Rules • If you are stricken in the arm, you lose it. If you are stricken in the leg, you lose it and must hop around. If you are stricken in the chest or head, you are dead. • To use ability, you must shout out the name of it before using it. • If you win a fight, you gain a level and a new ability. You can go up to level 4. • You start off with 3 Gold Coins. If you win a fight, you are awarded 1 more coin, which you can use to buy Health Potions and Mana Potions from the merchant. • Certain classes get armor; this means each body part needs to be hit twice in order to be lost. • If you are using a spell that requires charging up, such as a heal, you must count out loud, in seconds, the duration. • If you are stunned, you must count out loud the duration. • Most abilities have charges. This means you can only use it a certain amount of times per battle. To refill charges you must buy Mana Potions at the merchant in between fights. • If you are disarmed, you must throw your weapon a reasonable distance behind you. • A passive ability means that it is always activated and does not need to be recharged. • Due to the fact that there are only ten classes, if there are more than ten people, there may be two paladins, and two barbarians. • An ability that is unblockable will still take effect if the target blocks it. • Wizards and Archers can pick up their missiles and re-‐use them. • Shall a stalemate occur, a sudden death match will take place. In a sudden death match, the two opponents will wield the same weapon and will use no abilities.
