PvP - Subdual

Narfell supports a subdual damage system, thought it does not follow standard pen and paper rules (due to engine limitations).
Subdual damage is considered non-lethal damage and by default all players are considered to be inflicting subdual damage on each other during a fight. This can be disabled from the rest menu.
Damage is inflicted as normal, but a players knocked to 0 or less hit points will not be killed, and be considered one of the 4 subdual states below.
| Winded | Winded, as defined by the dictionary: To cause to be out of or short of breath
If you are winded, you are essentially gasping for air. Think about it as though someone just hit your stomach with a 2x4. This is a time to emote surrendering/dropping to the ground/wheezing for breath. Your character isn't up and running, isn't using Power Attack, and likely isn't casting any spells for a good time. |
| Blacked Out | Black Out, as defined by the dictionary: To lose consciousness or memory temporarily
If you're blacked out, you definitely aren't putting up a fight. Chances are you are struggling to keep your eyes open, and chances are you aren't going to remember things very well for at least a few days. This is on the edge of being Knocked Out. |
| Knocked Out | Knocked Out, as defined by the dictionary: Knocked unconscious by a heavy blow
You're unconscious, which pretty much means you can't do anything aside from lay on the ground and hope whoever knocked you out doesn't want to kill you. You aren't fighting, you aren't running, you aren't standing up, you aren't shouting for help, you aren't casting spells, and you aren't resisting. As with a black out, which came before hand, it's going to be hard for you to remember specifics for at least a few days, if not a good week. |
| Concussed | Concussions, as defined by the dictionary: Injury to the brain caused by a blow; usually resulting in loss of consciousness
This is what you get when someone takes your head and slams it against a brick wall. Repeatedly. As this is a step above Knocked Out, we can assume you're already unconscious, so you don't really have much say in whatever happens to you next. Concussions border on death, and can result in permanent brain damage. If you've been concussed, chances are you might not remember much of what happened ever, except that your head really hurts after you saw that moving shape |
It should be noted that Narfell keeps a 'mutual subdual' policy in which any player character may attack another player character if they first send a tell to the player and confirm that they wish to get involved in PvP. Do not force the issue - if the other player doesn't want to PvP, then avoid the situation.
