[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 2569074, member: 15651"] I can't view the movie from work, so I'm not sure the details of this specific incident, but from the LARP group I played with back in high school and college, there are rules for the fights. Basically, you (or your opponent) can take so many "hits." Each hit from a weapon counts as a "hit" and spells can cause so many "hits." Armor adds "hits," as does your experience level. We played that so many hits to a limb disabled that limb - so you had to hop on one leg, or switch your weapon to the other hand etc. In the group I played with, most spells caused only a single hit until pretty high level, or they had other effects such "hold" effects (player must freeze for a certain # of seconds), blinding effects (player must close eyes for a time) etc. Ahh, it is bringing back some fun memories. We had a good time there and nobody took it too seriously. The place provided a good area to play in complete with an Inn, jail, fortress, bridges (I loved the bridge fights) and a small dungeon. The invested in the place, minted their own coins which you received as treasure and could use to purchase in game items, such as healing, weapons and armor, and also for food and drink at the Inn. I probably would have kept going there if the owners had not discovered they could make more $$$ as a paintball site and shut down the LARP weekends. [/QUOTE]
