Editing Combat & Damage (section)

== 1. Good Strikes ==
A good strike is a controlled hit delivered with the correct striking surface of the weapon, using a motion that represents a realistic and meaningful attack.

Because LARP weapons are lightweight, players are expected to strike in a manner that simulates how the weapon would be used in combat rather than relying on speed alone. The target should be able to clearly feel the strike and recognise it as a valid hit.

The following are not considered good strikes:

* Repeated light tapping, drum rolling, or machine-gun strikes.
* Dragging a weapon across a target.
* Delivering multiple unrealistic hits from a single opening.
* Using a weapon in a manner that does not resemble a meaningful attack.

Players should focus on controlled, deliberate strikes rather than the number of hits they can throw.
