Militia

Militia is one layer of complexity up from Ditch. It allows Armor, Armor Breaking, Shield Crushing and basic projectiles, but not classes or roleplay rules.

Militia games are a great way to enjoy the physical combat rules, including armor and bows, without going too far into the intangible mechanics such as verbal magic, enchantments, and other special abilities.

Due to most anti-armor mechanics existing at the Full Class level, Militia games tend to make high armor values much stronger and impactful. Some Game Organizers offset this by changing arrows and rocks to be Armor Destroying in Militia games instead of Armor Breaking.

Is Roleplay expected? Roleplay is rarely expected in Militia games.
