+ | ===== Player versus Player Interactions ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | __**Important Note**__: PVP is not and never will be the primary focus of this game. There is no 'PVP splat' (no, not even Hunter), and with the way the game has naturally developed plotwise over its years-long existence, any serious attempt at starting PVP between splats **without a very good reason** will be met with swift retribution often by your own splat' | ||

+ | ==== Types of PVP Rolls ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | We generally separate dice-rolling against other players into two categories: **Non-Hostile**, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Non-Hostile Dice-Rolling**: | ||
+ | * Awareness checks, when triggered by a supernatural event or use of powers (this is activated reflexively, | ||
+ | * Social rolls, such as lying (the liar's Manipulation + Subterfuge in a contested roll against the recipient' | ||
+ | * Reading auras. Note that whether or not this is considered ' | ||
+ | * Scrying. Same as above; spying on somebody without their permission, if you get caught, can result in consequences for your character. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Non-hostile dice-rolls against another character are allowed in nearly all situations, though there are exceptions (see Aura Reading or Scrying above). An ST's presence will only ever be necessary if it //becomes// hostile. This means that they are perfectly fair-game in social scenes, in which an ST's presence is not required and usually absent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Hostile Dice-Rolling**: | ||
+ | * It __**must**__ be made clear to all parties involved if a scene whose intended purpose is PVP carries a risk of permanent harm or death to one or more characters involved. Tricking players into entering scenes in order to kill their character is bad form. If such an attempt at tricking a player is made, the scene will be retconned. | ||
+ | * We **__will not__** allow players to abuse the rule above in order to provide a ' | ||
+ | * Any time PVP breaks out in any scene, no matter the degree or risk to characters involved, one or more STs must be present to play referee to ensure fairness. The ST(s) should be familiar with the splats involved, and made aware of the context (including all plot-related details) in which the PVP is occuring. The ST should also //not// have any //player characters// | ||
+ | |||
+ | To be perfectly clear, if the violence against the character is your own fault and the result of //your own actions//, these rules cannot and will not save you. Violating the Masquerade in front of the Sheriff, murdering innocent people for shits and giggles in front of more virtuous player characters, wandering into the middle of the Sept wearing an "I <3 The Wyrm" shirt, or trying to convert that Imbued or Celestial Chorus mage to infernalism and then whining to an Admin about how it's a social scene when the fangs and claws come out will earn you zero sympathy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In short, don't be an idiot. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Social PVP ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Social PVP is defined as PVP by means other than direct physical violence. Starting (false) rumors designed to destroy another character' | ||
+ | |||
+ | * An impartial ST (with no PCs involved or otherwise connected to what is happening) must be kept appraised of what is happening in order to ensure fairness. | ||
+ | * Any attempt at Social PVP **requires dice rolls.** Difficulty will be decided by the presiding ST, who must be made aware of factors such as NPCs involved, different laws (mortal or otherwise) involved, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is presented for the sake of having a overview of what is possible within the frame of a plot. But just like any other kind of PVP, it is discouraged, |
