| The FREEZE call represents energy or toxic substances that cause instant but brief paralysis. You must completely stop moving for the duration of the effect and cannot take any actions - you should count slowly up to the duration. You can still see, hear and perceive what is happening around you, but cannot move anything apart from your eyes. Some characters may have skills and abilities that may reduce the duration of the FREEZE effect. If this reduces the time down to 0, then you should call NO EFFECT. | The FREEZE call represents energy or toxic substances that cause instant but brief paralysis.

| - | The KNOCKOUT call represents stunning energy or poisons that cause loss of consciousness. If hit with a KNOCKOUT, a character falls over and becomes unconscious until the duration expires - you should count slowly up to the duration. While unconscious you cannot see, hear and perceive what is happening around you. If you are in the middle of a battle, then you should remain aware of your surroundings out of character and ensure that you are not trampled - you may move a short distance if you are in danger OOC.

| RESIST is called when a target of a power or call is unaffected by it thanks to a defensive ability they possess. Certain skills, abilities and equipment will allow you to resist certain specific calls even when they would otherwise affect you. You must roleplay bracing against the attack and call RESIST (you may also need to tear charges or similar - which you must do at the first available opportunity). | RESIST is called when a target of a power or call is unaffected by it thanks to a defensive ability they possess.

| + | ROOT represents immobilizing force, gravity alterations or other effects that prevent a character from moving around. Unlike the FREEZE call, which prevents any movement, ROOT only affects a character's legs and feet, so the rest of their body can act normally. ROOT makes it impossible for a character to move their feet for the duration of the call in seconds. They may otherwise move and fight normally. | ||

| - | STRIKE represents attacks that deal more damage than would be expected. If it is delivered purely verbally, the STRIKE call deals a single point of damage to the location specified (if it does not specify a location, then assume that it hits the torso). If delivered by an attack, such as a weapon blow, projectile or dart hit, then it deals a point of damage after the damage from the attack. In most cases, an attack with the STRIKE call will just deal 2 points of damage to the struck location. | + | STRIKE represents attacks that deal more damage than would be expected.

| This call is a safety call that can be used to players who are unable to participate in LRP combat due to Out of Character reasons. Players should not abuse this call to gain IC advantage, only to avoid LRP combat. Non-Combatants are not immune to character death - you may still administer a LETHAL call (or equivalent) on an unresisting Non-Combatant as you would another character, just be sure not to strike them when you do so. It is important to stress that this rule is not designed to exclude people from all combat. Combat in OSLRP takes many forms - a dart gun battle sniping at distance is very different from a brutal close-quarters melee brawl. Participants should use this call to prevent them being attacked in a way that feels unsafe __for them__. If you are unable to "lie down badly injured", then it is perfectly fine to take up a comfortable position in a safe place just outside the fight, and just let other participants know the situation when they try to interact with you. | This call is a safety call that can be used to players who are unable to participate in LRP combat due to Out of Character reasons.

This makes it as easy as possible for first-aiders and crew to identify the situation and act appropriately. You should not shout the call just because you hear someone else shout it. Referees may keep the area timed out until the situation is resolved, or move players away from the incident and resume fighting in the area by shouting TIME IN. | + | If you hear SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY called then you should stop fighting and kneel down.
