Combat Honor Policy

At Legynds Apotheosis, we embrace a combat system founded on trust, honesty, and mutual respect. The following policy outlines the principles that govern how damage is acknowledged during combat encounters:

Responsibility for Acknowledging Damage

  • Player Accountability: The burden of taking damage during combat—whether from melee strikes, ranged attacks, or other in-game effects—rests with the receiving player.
  • The Honor System: Our game relies on the honesty and truthfulness of all participants to self-regulate their in-game actions, including taking damage when struck or affected.

Encouraged Practices

  • Default to Taking Damage: If you are unsure whether a strike or effect applies to you, we encourage you to err on the side of good sportsmanship and take the damage. This ensures fairness and maintains the integrity of gameplay.
  • Fostering Trust: Players are expected to uphold a culture of trust by honoring their fellow participants’ efforts and accepting damage when appropriate.

Promoting an Atmosphere of Honor

  • Respect and Collaboration: Every participant contributes to the shared storytelling experience. Respectful and honest play strengthens our community and ensures enjoyable encounters for everyone.
  • Lead by Example: Players who demonstrate integrity during combat not only enhance their own experience but set the standard for others to follow.

Staff Expectations and Support

  • Marshals and Observers: Staff members and marshals are present to ensure fairness and safety but will not micromanage individual combat. Players are expected to take personal responsibility for their actions.
  • Conflict Resolution: If a dispute arises about damage or combat behavior, participants are encouraged to discuss the matter calmly and respectfully. If necessary, marshals or staff may be consulted to mediate or clarify rules.

By following this policy, we ensure that Legynds Apotheosis remains a community built on trust, honor, and shared enjoyment. Thank you for upholding these values and helping to create an exceptional experience for everyone.
