The Main RP Rules for SWRP

 Angelic Rules YOU MUST READ THESE RULES

 ======================================================================

Turn Based Role Play Combat

 On Alts 

If you're a Jedi, you're allowed one Independent Alt and no Sith alts.

If you're a Sith, you're allowed one Independent Alt and no Jedi alts.

If you're Independent non-aligned, you can have one jedi or one sith alt. 

If you're a member of a separatist organization (vong, CorSec, Mastermind) 

you can have no Jedi or sith alts, and one independant alt. 

This should prevent PC alting amongst Jedi and sith players, it should also

 prevent everyone from knowing each other's plans.

The combatants take turns posting a move. Each move is made as if 

happening in turn, unlike the fleet battles when the moves are slated to 

happen at the same time, just posted in order. So if the combat were 

happening for real, the fighters are posting exactly what they would 

do, in reaction to the other. You must post prep turns for even normal 

weapons. Ranged weapons (blasters etc...) must be aimed, melee 

weapons (Lightsabers etc...) must be ignited or drawn. If you attack 

without prepping, your attack is ignored. An attack or defense must have 

at least 5 words. Any less and your moves ignored. It is in your best 

interest however, to post many more, so that you don't leave yourself 

open, by not being detailed enough. So if you need 80 words to get your 

attack across, I suggest using it, better safe than dead.  All OOC comments

 must be made with brackets (by typing [] before your

statement), unless stated that the character is OOC. 

During a fight, any IC comments, made when your turn is pending forfeits your

turn and your enemy may post your damage. IE: 

Fighter A: Slashes down at Fighter B swiftly with his saber using his 

body

weight behind the blow and ending up in a crouch.

Fighter B: Yes of course I love you, you are my wife.

Fighter A: Slices off Fighter B's left arm with his strike. 

What happened here, is that Fighter B made an IC comment, with his reaction 

to an attack still pending. What he should have done is react, then talk to his

wife. So in this case Fighter A's move was not an auto (Auto: Illegal Move - 

You determining another characters outcome illegally.), and totally legal. Here is

what should have happened: 

Fighter A: Slashes down at Fighter B swiftly with his saber using 

his body weight behind the blow and ending up in a crouch.

Fighter B: See's the blow coming and quickly moves out of the way, 

ducking dow and rolling to the left. Then, standing up at the end 

of the roll, he/sheslashes with his own blade at Fighter A's neck 

in a slide motion.Fighter B: Yes of course I love you, you are my wife.

Fighter A: Grunts with effort as he stands up taking the blow on his 

shin armor.

Now this exchange brings up another great point. To be able to use armor, it

must either be posted before the battle starts, in your entrance, or on a

page/profile of your character, otherwise it's not legal. We will come back to

this fight later. 

It is your job to know what the opposing species can and cannot do, not the

judges. If you are fighting and a rancor uses a lightsaber, the judge will not

say anything. It is your duty to call foul in your thought bubbles. If you react

to it, its legal; weather or not it is physical legal. Here is an example with

the same fighters as before, Fighter A is a human wearing Mandalore armor, and

Fighter B is a Mon Calamari. IE: 

Fighter B: Fires a disruptor rifle at the chest of Fighter A.

Fighter A: Laughs slightly as his thick chest armor absorbs the 

disruptor bolt.

Fighter B: Fires again slightly higher this time aiming for his neck 

Ok in this instance, Fighter A got away with it. Fighter B reacted and moved on.

When he should have said something to the Judge. If you don't know, a disruptor

is an extremely powerful weapon and would have incinerated the armor and bearer

of that armor. The Judge should know this, but is not to say anything, unless

asked by a fighter. This is what should have happened.... 

Fighter B: Fires a disruptor rifle at the chest of Fighter A.

Fighter A: Laughs slightly as his thick chest armor absorbs the

 disruptor bolt.

Fighter B:  [Armor can not take a disruptor bolt. I need a ruling]

Judge: [You are dead Fighter A. A disruptor is too powerful for you to 

take a blast and live]

At this point the Fighter A has to take the death, or appeal to the GM. Do not

be afraid to question all possibilities, but at the same, do not get out of

hand. You are expected to know a majority of what is and is not physically

capable, or legal. You are, after all, a fighter. 

The death will be legal after it is posted on the Death Forum. However, you may

be resurrected, if a Jedi master or sit lord sees fit to do so. Additionally,

force spirits can be formed if there's is a significant attachment to his life

(wife, husband, child). Deaths can be confirmed by transcript or witnesses. If

witnesses are used there must be 2 witnesses that agree, and none that disagree.

There always must be two (2) more that agree than disagree for the kill to be

legal. Also you may contact Council Members to watch your fight and rule on it.

You may argue the death, but it must be a legitimate argument. If you tamper

with any transcripts, there will be no ruling on the death, and the character

will be no longer allowed in SWRP, unless you start again from scratch as a

padawan or apprentice. 

You, the receiver of it, take damage. Again, please be logical in this area. If

you lose a limb, or take damage to any part of you while fighting, continue to

act as if it would have a long lasting effect. Do not go on with the fight as if

it didn't affect you at all. 

Prepping 

Force power must be prepped, especially lethal ones. I.e.: 

Fighter A: hurls force lightning at Fighter B 

Fighter B: is struck by the lightning and stunned. 

This is illegal. Non-lethal force lightning must have one post of prepping

before the actual attach for it to be even considered in combat. Letha force

lightning must be four posts or more for it to be considered in combat. One line

force lightning is illegal. The prepping rule goes for force pushes as well. The

distance in feet is equal to the number of prep posts performed. The only

exception to these rules is Jedi Masters, Sith Lords, and certain Celestials who

require half the posts to perform attacks that everyone else can.  

Mind Tricks, Telepathic invasion, cloaking devices 

Mind Tricks are based on this scale (D10)

1-2: nothing

3-4: notice of something off

5-6: partial success, Disorientation

7-8: partial success, illusions, disorientation, increased suggestion

9-10: successful 

Telepathic Invasion (D10)

1-2: blocked

3-4: partial penetration

5-6: surface thoughts

7-8: memories

9-10: total invasion 

These values are to be divided by 2 when up against Celestials, Dragons, 

and Force Masters. 

Cloaking Devices (D6) 

1-2: failure

3-4: partial invisibility, hard to target, force attack miss.

5-6: full cloak, no attacks hit 

When a person cloaks they must de cloak to attack or use force powers. 

Same deal with force voids.
