Melee in the Park

A live team-game for 10 or more

Melee in the Park (or "LARP") is something they showed us at Feral!2004 last year and was great fun, so I want to introduce it to MonFur. It is a bit like a cross between soccer and D&D / 8bit-theatre.

Setup

You need a large field, maybe scattered with trees with two Goals or Flags at either end. Divide up the players into two teams, and each player chooses one of the following classes:

Class Weapons Player says
Fighter Sword (L) "Dismember!" and hits an opponent's leg. Leg is then disabled and player must hop or sit down.
Mage Magic Packet (thrown) "Magical Bind!" and hits an opponent with magic. Target cannot use their arms.
Cleric Mace (M) "Bonecrush!" and hits an opponent's leg, leg is then disabled and player must hop or sit down (both.)
Bandages "Heal" and ties a bandage around an ally's disabled leg or legs. Ally can then use them again.
Thief Dagger(S) "Assassinate!" and target player is killed, must respawn back at their own goal.
"Stealth!" and touches weapon to ground. While in stealth, only magical attacks can hit the thief.
