Combat Rules

This is not a Star Wars club. We have been requested not to associate with Star Wars at all. The Order of the Wolf has its own lore and even a book inspired by the group. We duel with starblades, the native weapon of stars.

Participating in combat, you understand that you could get hurt. While we strive our hardest just to tag each other gently, we are swinging an approximate equivalent of wooden sticks at each other. Accidents do happen.

1. The forearm to the hand is not a kill (but you are not allowed to block with it). The head is not a target (but it is a kill). Everything else is a kill.

2. Inflicting two headstrikes in one night will result in the combatant sitting out a round to cool off. Continuing to inflict headstrikes will result in a player no longer being permitted to participate for the rest of the night.

3. Be gentle. This is a game of tag. Ideally, you should graze your opponent just enough for him to feel it.

4. If combat is not halted when a passerby moves within blade reach, then the combatants will no longer being permitted to participate for the rest of the night.

5. Everyone is required to join in opening warmups. Missing one week due to circumstances beyond your control is permitted, but missing multiple consecutive weeks will result in not being permitted to join in combat. If you are unable to attend opening warmups, conducting them yourself before joining in is permissible.

6. Metal armor protects from strikes.

Always remember our number one priority is to keep people safe. Our second priority, is to kill one another. Our third priority (for some, their second priority) is to look dashingly good while doing it.
