Editing NaAT (section)

=== Weapons and Combat ===

==== Combat ====
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:'' *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.

''INCORRECT:'' Throws spear at you ''Dodges spear'' shoots arrow at your head, and arrow hits

Cannot dictate that your arrow has hit and killed your opponent.


''CORRECT:'' *Throws spear at you* ''dodges spear'' ''Shoots arrow at your head''

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.

==== Weapons ====
The NAAT adventures are set in a medieval theme, and the weapons follow this theme. Although the sword is the standard choice, you are not limited to them. When you first join or contribute to NAAT, you get to pick a weapon. (There is no ceremony for it, you just have it.) Some special weapons, like magic swords, must be found or given to you, and you are not required to keep the weapon you choose forever. Here is a list of Basic weapons to choose from:

* Blades
* Short sword
* Long sword
* Rapier
* Scimitar
* Broad sword
* Cleaver
* Blunt and swingers
* War hammer
