The golden rule of NAAT, and really any combat is the [[Balance of Powers|BOP]], or balance of powers. The balance of powers essentially means that you cannot be overly powerful, or dictate your opponent's actions. for example: | The golden rule of NAAT, and really any combat is the [[Balance of Powers|BOP]], or balance of powers. The balance of powers essentially means that you cannot be overly powerful, or dictate your opponent's actions. for example: | ||
''INCORRECT:'' *Throws spear at you* slices spear in half with sword ''throws 10 spears back at you'' | |||
Cannot be overly powerful | |||
CORRECT: Did not do an impossible move, and stayed within limits for retaliation. | ''CORRECT:'' *Throws spear at you* ''ducks'' picks up spear and throws it back at you | ||
Did not do an impossible move, and stayed within limits for retaliation. | |||
The same rule goes for dictation. Although you might think "I never dictate other people's actions!" The definition for dictate is broader than it may seem. | The same rule goes for dictation.

You did not dictate the fate of the other player. He or she is free to say if the arrow hit or not. | |||
"Now wait a minute," you might say. "According to these rules, a fight could go on forever with no victor!" Yes, this is true. There is that possibility, and in many fights that is how it ends up. In the NAAT, however, members are expected to know what's fair and what's not, and accurately determine whether something got them or not. In NAAT, nobody is ever killed, unless it is a bad guy. When a NAAT member has fairly decided that he or she was gotten fair and square, they may declare themselves injured and drop out of the fight for a while. | "Now wait a minute," you might say.
