| - | This is a rule of thumb, and is intended to encourage more heroic and epic combat, and prevent "drum-rolling". It also reduces the game impact of players who can afford to purchase rapid-fire, motorized dart guns. The cinematic feel of combat is intended to be like Star Wars, which would be lessened if someone could unload 12 blaster shots into one location in the space of 3 seconds. This rule applies to blows from a single target regardless of how many weapons they have - [[Combat Skills#Dual Weapons Training]] does not allow you to inflict more than one hit every second. | + | This is a rule of thumb, and is intended to encourage more heroic and epic combat, and prevent "drum-rolling".

| - | Conditions represent severe complex injuries like broken bones, internal bleeding and the like, or the effects of strange radiation, alien viruses or exotic toxins. A Condition will either take the form of a tear-open lammie of a Condition Sheet (a piece of A5 paper). Lammies are used for more straightforward Conditions, while Sheets are used for complex or rare ones. You must keep any Condition lammies or sheets with you at all times. | + | |
| - | Lammie Conditions will usually indicated the skills required to diagnose on the tear-open side - if someone with the correct skill does a diagnosis, then they may tear open the lammie to diagnose the cure. Once the cure has been determined and administered, please hand the lammie (and any resources used in the cure) over to a referee. Lammie conditions can be mostly self-refereed. | + | |
| - | Condition Sheets are more complex, and can be more difficult to cure, have a progression of symptoms over several events, and may require a number of skills or specialised equipment to diagnose. If someone has all of the correct skills required to diagnose, you may show them the Condition Sheet - this should have an ID number which they can reference at Games Ops to give them more information about the condition and its possible progression and cures. | + | Conditions represent severe complex injuries like broken bones, internal bleeding and the like, or the effects of strange radiation, alien viruses or exotic toxins.

| + | * Stealing items from another character requires their OOC cooperation. Conversely, if you are IC unresisting, you should OOC cooperate with a character who is stealing items from you, handing them over once the requisite searching time has elapsed. | ||
| + | * If you steal any items from another character, you must hand them into Games Ops within an hour. See the [[Game Items#Stealing In-Game Items]] rules. | ||
| + | * Some Character Skills grant a show-me lammie that can reduce the time a character with that skill takes to search another character, or increase the amount of time it takes to reveal concealed items when searching them - in these cases the character will present a show-me lammie to the character searching/being searched, usually at the point at which items would normally be discovered. | ||

Searching a character requires at least 30 seconds of roleplayed action, after which you may steal any visible handheld Game Items that the target has. If you continue searching for an additional 30 seconds, you reveal any concealed or worn Game Item that the target has - see the [[Game Items#Stealing In-Game Items]] rules for more specific information. Orion Sphere LRP is a competitive game, and while IC theft can sometimes be a source of OOC frustration, we encourage all participants to approach the issue as it is intended, as another potential lever for IC conflict and roleplay. |
| If you and the target agree that you both prefer to perform a real search then you may do so. You must not touch the player without OOC permission to do so. You do not have to phys-rep the search if you are not comfortable doing so. The target must give you any items that you find while searching them. | If you and the target agree that you both prefer to perform a real search then you may do so.
