Ditch

This game mode only uses the basic melee combat rules. No armor, no projectiles, no siege weapons, no classes, and no roleplay rules. A common modification for this game mode is to also make shields indestructible so that there are as few rules in play as possible.

Ditch games are a great way to ease new players into the game, as well as an excellent warm up or cool down activity. Most Fighting Tournaments are also run under Ditch rules.

Roleplay? Ditch activities typically have no expected roleplay.
