Combat Rules

Types of Matches

Training Match (TM's): These are for learning to score and do Ki Power. These can be done between any level of player. There is no Honor gain except in Rank Advancement.

Slave Matches(SM's): This is for those who wish to capture, not harm an individual within the forum. Slave Matches can be done against family members of another clan who needs to be taken out of the picture for awhile as not to interfere. Please note Daimyo can not be enslaved except by another Daimyo/clan leader. These are to 15 and may have multiple combatants winning gains 3 Honor, loosing results in alost of 5 Honor.

Honor Matches(HM's): Honor match are just that, dealing with issue of honor that demands an answer, but not an end result of Death. Thus winner gains 5 honor points and the loser looses 10 honor points. 40 points can be gained max in a charrie life time this way and no more then 20 per month. These matches are to 15 and no one else may enter them

Duel Matches(DM's): Duel Matches are of a serious nature for they end with a Final Death result. Duel Matches are enacted when there a serious insult or crime done to another and Honor demands that it be answered. In Duel Matches, a Champion is allowed to be put in place to challenge the insulter. The insulter can decline at a lost of 25 honor points. However, if a match proceeds, the winner gains 15 honor points. No one else may enter these. These matches are to 20

Serious insults consist of one’s:
Loyalty
Truthfulness to a deed (more then 20 point earned)

Serious crimes consist of:
Rape
Theft of Family heirloom
Murder of a Family Daimyo

Asasination Attempts (AA’s): These are done by Ninja only and to those the daimyo targets. Woe to the Daimyo that betrays their Ninja retainers. Upon doing this form of attack, the ninja must enter and strike the target quickly, if it failed, he/she will fight till one escape. For the ninja that runs, there is honor lost, but can be regained somewhat by completing the task later. Usually a week is given for the Ninja to complete their mission or whatever is agreed upon by contract. A Ninja may never have more then one contract at a given time. IF a contract takes longer then a week or the agreed time, the Ninja clan loose honor till the task is completed. The individual Ninja honor lost is a done thing. These matches are to 15


Example of Combat

Lord Onuda (d40/67 hr) vs Lady Onisha (d40/85hr)

Proctor: Lord Onuda KOed- 10 points taken his AR ignored
Proctor: Score 10 Lord-0 lady rd 2
( 2 for the AR and 8 for the honor rating of Lady Onisha 85. Since he did not defend the Ki power, he ko’ed and could not defend the attack, thus it treated as he has a DR of 0)

Online Host: Lady Onisha rolled 36 36
Procter: consecutive KO do not count
