Friendly Fire

All strikes initiated with intent to affect a player will affect whomever they hit, regardless of the intended target. Contact that was not intended to be a strike may 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.

Examples of strikes that may be ignored:

  • A Warrior tapping an ally with their sword to get their attention.
  • A Monk resting their spear over their shoulder and accidentally hitting someone as they turn around.
  • An Scout accidentally dropping a tomahawk onto their own leg.
