Combat Rules

Combat in Planetfall is simulated using Live Action Combat Roleplay using contact by LARP-Safe weaponry, and verbal calls made to signify powerful abilities and effects. This page details the mechanics of those calls and, broadly, how to play a combat encounter. Players shouldn't worry about remembering everything on this page - it's always okay to ask if you're unsure!
