Indicator Strips

Indicator strips tied to a belt

Indicator Strips are primarily used to denote Enchantments and strike enhancements to other players.

  • Indicator strips cannot be worn unless an ability or effect requires it.
  • Players that are required to wear indicator strips must do their best to wear them in a location that is clearly visible to other players, notably enemies, and unlikely to become obscured by garb or other equipment (such as shields) during the course of gameplay.
  • Indicator strips cannot be deliberately hidden or otherwise obscured from players who might be trying to see them.
  • Indicator strips must be removed as soon as possible after their associated effect is removed.
  • Players carrying unused indicator strips (such as a druid with many enchantments) should do their best to make sure that those strips are well-hidden from view so they are not mistaken for active enchantments during gameplay. Repeated or egregious disregard for this rule can result in removal from play by a Reeve or Rules Authority until the issue is resolved.


Construction Rules

  • Must be at least 1” wide, with at least 6” of visible drape when worn.
  • Every indicator strip is associated with an ability or effect and must match the appropriate Color Code.
  • Color blind aids should run across the strip short-ways (see image). We recommend placing lines on either end of the strip. Use double-lines for better visibility or if the strip has other designs that might pull focus.
