Friendly Fire

All strikes initiated with intent to affect a player will affect whomever they hit, regardless of the intended target. The only exception is that a player can never harm themselves with their own melee weapons unless they actually wish to do so.

Any contact that was not intended to be a strike may always be ignored if both parties agree.

Examples of strikes that cannot be ignored:
  • An Archer missing their target and accidentally striking an ally in the back.
  • An Assassin sneaking up and backstabbing someone who they believed was an enemy but turns out to be an ally.
  • A Barbarian's rock bouncing off an enemy's shield and rolling back to hit themselves.
  • A Monk unknowingly striking an ally with the other end of their quarterstaff while making an attack.

Examples of strikes that can be ignored:
