Scenario Battlegame
This game mode sits on the cusp of using the full Amtgard ruleset. It represents activities that are still team-based and PVP in nature but want to include some roleplay elements without incorporating a complex storyline or social options. They use all the combat and class mechanics and may dip into the roleplay rules as well depending on how it might impact the activity.
Scenario battles often include NPCs, players who are not assigned to a team but representing some sort of monster or character that both teams can interact with.
Is Roleplay expected? Roleplay in scenario battles is encouraged but since this mode still combat-centric with little or no way to achieve victory without fighting, roleplay among PCs tends to be minimal. Typically, the NPCs will be the ones doing the majority of the roleplaying while the other players only roleplay when dealing with those specific NPCs, or by throwing in the occasional in-character quip when it won't affect their odds of victory.
