Sparring question

Post by screwbag »

Sparring question...
Ok so I'm working with some newbies, and plan to do some sparring to help em out...
My question is, is it possible to accidentally kill someone sparring? Like too much damage in one hit or something...?

Right now I just kinda sit there for fear of killing and saying oops....

And yes I searched before asking here...I just wasn't totally clear on this specific issue..

Thanks in advance

It can damage armour, But that can easily be solved by taking it off, as for killing, no.

When a sparring session is started, both side gains VHP (Virtual HP) equal to their maximum HP. VHP is damaged through SHP by normal means. When the VHP is depleted the sparring session ends. If there are multiple people with one sparring session to one person, if that one person loses their VHP, the sparring session ends for both of them.

As long as you turn off criminal act, you should be fine. Armor however will still be damaged normally. My advice is to either fight without any items that has HP or have disposable armor that you can afford to lose easily.
If you keep focusing on the shadow behind, you will not see the light in front of you.

Being successful isn't just about hard work and succeeding, it is also about picking yourself up when you fail.
