Core Rules
Introduction
1.1 Welcome
You are preparing to enter a game world using the Accelerant system. The system is
designed to be simple in concept and execution, yet have a rich and varied set of skills
and abilities with which to develop characters and stories. To do this we have created a
set of Core Rules that define all of the effects of the game and presents them to you
within the first two chapters of the rule book. All skills and special abilities refer back to
these Core Rules, so once you have learned the Core Rules you know how to react to
effects from any Accelerant game, even though the skills or abilities that allow a character
to use those effects may be very different.

1.2 Philosophy
The main philosophy of the Accelerant system is to keep the game flowing smoothly and
without interruption. Almost everything you do you should attempt in game. There should
be no reason to drop out of game, to consult an out of game personage during normal
game play, or to describe out of game actions unless those actions may make others
uncomfortable. You may consult in game spirits and characters, but all your actions
should be in game. In the Accelerant system you will never have a reason to describe
your actions. You can't set things on fire. You can't chop creatures to pieces. You cannot,
and have no reason to, perform actions you cannot actually attempt unless those actions
are defined in some other way in these rules.

The idea is to stay in character no matter what. If you have a question, attempt to word it
in character and ask it in game. If you feel you must leave game, walk to the edge of the
game area in character and leave the game for a time. You should never interrupt the
flow of the game. There are no rifts that move you out of the game action, no things
stepping through solid walls, no flying creatures, and no happenings that cannot be played
without interrupting the flow of the game. You might be transformed into a spirit and
made to walk someplace in that state, but anyone who sees your spirit still sees you
walking.

Be forewarned that our directed characters will react to blatant out of game comments as
insults or lies. Spirits and creatures will become enraged at out of game comments. As
such, dropping out of character can get you killed, or worse. If the problem continues, you
will be asked to leave the game. Stay in character.

1.3 Rules of Etiquette

In a game as fluid and full of unexpected circumstances as live action, it is important that each
player attempt to follow the spirit as well as the letter of the rules. We have tried to create a set of
rules that are as cut and dry as possible. However, there are certain rules that that are necessary
to promote atmosphere and or safety. These rules are marked as Rules of Etiquette. These rules
are often difficult or impossible to quantify without breaking character. We know this, and if players
abuse them or become less than graceful when using them, the game will suffer. We trust the
players to follow the intent of the rules, and to be particularly tactful when dealing with Rules of
AfterMath LARP Rulebook Page 13
of 208
Etiquette. You will find further specific Rules of Etiquette outside this section when dealing with
some specific effects or performing some specific actions.

AfterMath LARP Rulebook Page 14

of 208

Basic Etiquette
1.3.1
Abusive language or actions are not
tolerated, whether they are in game
or not. Language or actions that are
derogatory or that are deemed to be
harassment are not allowed. References
to explicit sexual behavior or concepts,
particularly violent ones, are not allowed.
In game threats should be worded so
they are clearly in game.
You are always in game, even if your
character is unconscious, dead, or
affected by a game condition that
incapacitates you. Your spirit still
remains with you, and it can experience
the game world around you. You do not
need to pretend you did not experience
the game even under these conditions. If
your eyes are closed then you might not
see what is going on, but you will
remember everything you hear, smell,
and feel. If you are lying unconscious or
dead, or affected by the Stun effect, you
must close your eyes.
There is no "out of game" except
during emergencies. There are no out
of game indicators (such as white
headbands), and no people should be
wandering about unless they are there in
the actual game. To keep the game
flowing as smoothly as possible, we have
defined the following ways to deal with
problems and interruptions.
1.3.2 Caution
This phrase indicates some condition
that may threaten the health of a
player. A caution should never last more
than 10 seconds. It indicates that those
people who are close to, or involved in,
that problem should pause so someone can
get clear, get up, or move away from a
threat. Only those people nearby need
pause until the problem resolves. Everyone
involved in a caution is still responsible to
the game, and should still be cautious of in
game threats. They may move away from
the Caution or pause until the person has
dealt with the problem.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
Clarification
1.3.3
This phrase works like Caution, but it
indicates that someone needs a quick
explanation of what happened. People
directly involved pause for up to three
seconds while someone repeats a verbal or
quickly indicates a condition or result of
something. This should be used
infrequently, if ever. It is present for new
players who may be overwhelmed and
confused during their first game or two.
1.3.4 Let Me Clarify
This phrase, which can only be used by
plot approved non-player characters,
indicates that any encounter
information that follows should be
considered true. There are times when
your character may not trust another
character. This phrase indicates that the
information that the character, trustworthy
or not, will impart is important and true
information about how some specific
encounter works. This phrase cannot be
used unless the player has plot approval for
that specific encounter, and the information
imparted must be a clarification of some
specific game effect or encounter.
1.3.5 Emergency
This means that there is some medical
emergency that needs attention. This
phrase should come up rarely. The game
play stops, and everyone who hears the
emergency should drop to a knee to indicate
that a real problem exists. Emergency should
only be called is there is a real problem and
someone could be hurt.
Safety
1.4
Restrictions
There are a number of basic safety restrictions
in the Accelerant system to ensure the safety,
comfort, and enjoyment of all.
1.4.1 No Physical Contact
You have no reason to touch another player in
the Accelerant system. Physical contact is not
Page 15 of 208
allowed. You may contact another player with
a boffer weapon in a legal attack area and you
may contact another player by touching a
packet to their arm or shoulder to deliver a
"touch cast" effect. Violators will be asked to
leave the game.
1.4.2 Searching a Character
Because the game does not allow physical
contact, you may not physically search
someone else. Instead you approach within
searching distance and tell them in a low voice
"I am searching you." The player may simply
reveal items you have found. The player may
make a pouch available for you to reach into
and take items. The player may request that
you describe your search. In this case, you
must take the time to tell the player where on
his or her person you are looking for items.
Items cannot be hidden in places people might
find rude or inappropriate. An item must
actually be hidden where you say it is. You
cannot have an item in your pocket, for
example, and claim it was tucked in your boot.
It must be hidden there. If someone searches
a general area you may request them to be
more specific by stating "Describe that
search." If you have an item concealed in the
sole of your boot and someone says "I search
your boot" you may ask them to "Describe that
search" before giving it up. Players should not
demand unreasonable searches with too much
detail - a search should take no more than a
minute.
1.4.3 Carrying a Character
Because the game does not allow physical
contact, you may not physically carry or drag
another person. Instead you simply tell the
person you are picking them up and role play
carrying them along. They must get up and
walk with you while you pretend to hold their
shoulders. You cannot move faster than a walk
while carrying someone else. If you are unable
to move while being carried you walk with your
head bowed and arms at your sides.
If you are carrying a character and that
character is struck by an effect from a melee,
missile, or packet attack, you will also take
that effect unless you "drop" the character
immediately. If you are being carried and
someone "drops" you then you role play falling
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
to the ground. If you are being carried, you
must role play an effect with a moan or grunt
even if you are paralyzed or dead to indicate
you have been struck. If you are carrying
someone who role plays an effect, and you do
not know what the effect was, you must drop
them. You may pick up a body after dropping it
as soon as that body stops moving.
1.4.4 Rule of Etiquette
Whenever you are required to role play an
effect you must always do so in a safe manner.
If you must adjust your role play or position
slightly to make the game safer for you or
another player we ask you to do so. You
should take care before moving in crowded
areas even if you must play out the effect in a
slightly different manner. You are encouraged
to take the extra step or two when playing out
an effect if it removes you from an area that is
detrimental to your health such as a puddle or
an area with too many other players.
1.4.5 No Alcohol or Drugs
You cannot consume alcohol or drugs on the
premises of the game unless the drugs are for
authorized medical use and the staff has been
notified, and has approved. You cannot be
under the influence of alcohol or drugs while
on the premises of the game. Violators will be
asked to leave the game.
1.4.6 Safety Glasses
The Staff of AfterMath recommends that you
wear safety glasses when playing AfterMath.
Foam darts do have the potential to harm your
eye should they take a direct hit. You are able
to find safety glasses, such as sunglasses,
in a variety of styles and they can easily
be incorporated into your costume.
Again you are not required to, but the
AfterMath staff does recommend it for your
protection.
Rules
1.5
Restrictions
As you play the game and wander around the
world, there is a lot you can do to affect the
Page 16 of 208
game environment around you. Conversely,
there are lots of effects that can change how
you play the game, for both good and bad.
Other characters may attempt to inflict
unpleasant fates upon you, and you might
attempt to do the same to them.
There are three restrictions on your
activities.
The first is an environmental restriction.
When you come across props that represent
certain environments, such as tarp walls
representing solid walls, you must play as if
that condition was real. You cannot move tarp
walls, you cannot walk across black pits, and
you cannot enter areas marked out of game.
The second is an effect restriction. If an
effect has been inflicted upon you, you must
abide by the restriction of that effect until it is
removed. If you have a Slow effect you cannot
run. If you have the Maim effect you cannot
use the maimed limb. Effects can be inflicted
upon you in a variety of ways.
The third is a skill restriction. If there is a
skill that specifically allows you to manipulate
a prop or perform some action, you cannot
attempt to perform that action or manipulate
that prop unless you have that skill. You
cannot pick up weapons and try to fight unless
you have the skill to do so. You cannot
manipulate traps unless you have the skill to
do, although you can attempt to avoid them.
1.5.1 Prop Restrictions
You are not allowed to bring to an event
any prop that resembles or could be
mistaken for common or unique game
items provided by plot without the express
permission of the game staff.
You cannot attempt to duplicate or forge
game money, item props, tags, or
logistical documents such as character or
monster cards. Any attempt to use in
game means to create fakes of any items
must be approved by the plot committee.
You are not allowed to break, destroy, or
take apart any prop. If a prop is attached
to a wall by a chain, for example, you
cannot attempt to break or detach that
chain in any way. The Destroy effect does
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
not change the basic structure of a prop;
it just makes the item unusable for any
game related purpose.
Costuming, jewelry, weapons, and area
props cannot be moved from the area they
are placed in except by the owner. Most
props have no in game worth. These props
provide no in game benefit and disallowing
their removal ensures these props are not
broken or lost. Props may be handled but
must be put back where they are found
unless they have a sticker.
1.5.2 Prop Labels
Small circular stickers attached to objects
indicate special rules about handling an item.
Items may also be marked by attaching a
short ribbon to indicate the item's in game
status. These ribbons replace the sticker and
have the same meaning. A ribbon can be used
to mark small items that don't have room for a
sticker, such as rings, or on items where plot
feels that a ribbon would look better or be
more evident to the players. This ribbon may
have codes or markings on it in the same
manner that stickers can have markings for
players with specific skills to recognize.
If an item has a red circle or ribbon, it
cannot be moved at all. It cannot be
picked up or touched. It will not move.
If an item has a yellow or green sticker
or ribbon, it seems to be valuable.
A small yellow, circular sticker means
the prop may be taken but it must be
turned in at checkout.
A small green circular sticker means you
can take the prop and hold on to it.
Special items may also have a red
sticker with a rune or number on it.
These stickers indicate that characters
may not pick up or touch the item unless
they have a skill or ability that allows
them to manipulate objects marked by
that symbol or number.
Some game effects will enhance an object
such as a weapon or a piece of armor.
Page 17 of 208
 When an item has been enhanced by a
game effect, an effect sticker will be
placed upon it so long as the
enhancement is in place. Items with
effect stickers are treated as though they
were yellow sticker items. If you have an
effect sticker upon your weapon, that prop
can be stolen from you. You should bring
back up props if you want to use item
enhancements.
1.5.3 Environment
Games take place at a site, usually a
campground. This site defines the boundaries
of the game. During game play, a player may
attempt to enter any area within the game
boundaries unless the area is marked with a
yellow information sign. Areas marked with
information signs are either special areas with
additional rules described by the sign or they
are out of game and impassable.
1.5.3.1 Out of Game Areas
Areas that are out of game are marked by the
yellow or hazard orange signs with text
marking it Out of Game. You may not enter
these areas. The text of the sign indicates
why, in game, this area cannot be entered.
Some areas might be described as collapsed
and ruined piles of rubble that have no real
interior. Other areas might be marked as
impassable swamp.
1.5.3.2 Special Areas
Areas with special restrictions or rules will be
marked by the yellow or orange hazard
signs with game information printed on it.
This sign will have game information written
upon it that will describe the circumstances
that make the area special.
1.5.3.3 Gates and Turn Back
Markers
Portals ringed with strings of decorative
light are magical portals. Gates may also be
marked off with ribbons during the day instead
of lights. These portals lead to other places.
Some lead to other places in this world, some
lead to places beyond this world. If a portal is
ringed with lights and they are not lit then you
cannot go through that portal.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
The areas beyond gates are often marked with
yellow information signs, so you should
always look around after going through a gate.
Gates have a disorienting effect to compensate
for the time it takes to spot and read a yellow
sign.
White gates are open portals. If the lights
are on, anyone may step through the gate.
White gates will always appear in ruined areas.
Colored gates are special. Only special Staff
Characters that control the gate may bring
you through a gate with colored lights. If there
is no guide you cannot enter the gate. Some
colored gates are free standing, with no actual
area on the other side. If you enter such a
gate at the request of a staff character then
you will become a spirit. You will not be
affected by any attacks and you must reply
"Spirit" to any attack that strikes you. You
cannot use any game skills or converse with
any one else. You are visible to others, but you
cannot converse with them and you can only
enter an area indicated by the spirit guide who
leads you. You must follow the spirit guide
until you exit through another gate and your
guide indicates you have assumed your normal
form.
Turn Back Markers
Some games have locations in a game site are
normally accessible to players, but are
sometimes closed for specific encounters or
modules. While this is usually handled with
yellow information signs, it is often difficult to
spot and read information signs without
entering the encounter area to read them,
especially at night. To make these easier,
areas can be marked with circular information
signs (rather than the usual octagonal signs)
and at night these signs are lit with circular
rings created with looped glow bracelets. If
you spot these Turn Back Markers hanging in
the area, it means that the area is inaccessible
and you should stay away unless you are led
to the area by a spirit, a scout, or a similar
guide.
It is often left to the player to explain why they
cannot proceed when they spot Turn Back
Markers. One common reason is that the area
ahead is impassable swamp. Another is that a
mist has risen and players cannot find their
way through the area. Sometimes players
Page 18 of 208
simply state that the area ahead looks
uninteresting and turn back. It is left to you
and your companions to come up with a
plausible reason that you cannot proceed when
you spot a Turn Back Marker.

In AfterMath garden glow lights are also used

to single off Turn Back areas as well. These
will be a line of lights running along the
ground.

Core Rules
Effects

During the course of the game you can be the
subject of a wide variety of attacks. Each
attack will attempt to inflict an effect upon
you. Some effects can benefit you, and some
will deliver unpleasant effects upon you.
Attack/Ability
2.1
Delivery
Each ability must be delivered to its target in
some way. These deliveries are the physical
action needed to determine whether an ability
has been successfully used on an opponent.
There are several different ways to deliver
game effects, but there are three basic attack
deliveries that are used most often in combat.
Melee attacks are delivered with a successful
strike with a hand held weapon. Packet
attacks are delivered by throwing a bean bag
like projectile and striking an opponent.
Missile attacks are delivered by throwing a
special foam throwing weapon.
It is always up to the defender to make
the final decision whether an ability has
struck or affected them, and thus
whether the ability has been delivered. It
is important that players do not abuse this
honor system. If a player does not count legal
hits, the game breaks down. Individuals that
are reported for not counting hits will be
reviewed and if necessary asked to leave the
game.
2.2 Melee Attacks
Melee attacks require special hand held
padded weapons to deliver an attack, often
referred to as boffer weapons. Melee weapons
cannot be thrown. You must have both hands
on a two handed weapon in order to use it in
combat unless some game ability specifically
states otherwise. These padded weapons
have a strict set of creation rules and must
pass a safety inspection at each and every
event where you intend to use them.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
To add to the atmosphere of role playing, we
expect our players to role play in combat.
Although we allow light weapons for safety
and comfort, we ask that players keep the
pace of their swings in line with what a
heavier weapon might require. Melee swings
that are entirely generated by snapping or
rotating the wrist or forearm are discouraged.
Although you are expected to role play full
weapon swings where the weapon moves at
least 45 degrees, the actual contact cannot be
too hard. A tap from a weapon is sufficient to
deliver an attack. Melee attacks that are
blocked by another weapon or shield wielded
by a character with the appropriate skill to do
so are not counted. Attacks to the head, the
hands, or the groin are illegal and are not
counted.
Any strike that has no verbal announcement
causes 1 point of damage. These are known
as "uncalled strikes" because they have no
verbal. Uncalled strikes will cause someone to
fall unconscious if they remove all Vitality, but
the victim will remain stable. A character
taken down by called strikes will fall
unconscious and be unstable as well.
If you are unskilled with a melee weapon you
cannot make attacks with that weapon. If
someone strikes that weapon or you try to
parry with that weapon, you must either take
the blow or the weapon is ripped from your
hand. If you do not take the blow, you must
drop the weapon as if you had been affected
by the Disarm effect.
You may hold only one weapon or shield in
your hand during combat. If you are holding
more than one item in a hand, and a melee
attack strikes one of those items, then you
will take the blow or be disarmed of both
items as if you were unskilled in their use.
Many skills work only on limb hits. A limb hit
is a strike to the arm or leg. A torso hit
includes the chest from the belt up to the top
of the chest. Any hit to the leg or buttock is a
leg hit. Any hit to the arm or to the outer
shoulder is an arm hit. Hits that come down
on the shoulder or that come down between
the shoulder and the neck are also arm hits.
Neck hits are illegal.
Page 22 of 208

2.3 The Flurry Rule
A flurry is a series of melee swings
delivered at an enemy in combat with
little or no pause. You can make no more
than three consecutive attacks against each a
particular enemy where your weapon contacts
an opponent or their weapons, including their
shield, before you must reset. To reset your
flurry you must step out of weapon range
between you and your opponent and stop all
attacks on your previous target for at least a
second.
Players pursuing enemies need not interrupt
pursuit by stepping back to reset their Flurry.
The pursuer needs only to pause for a second
while at a distance just within their maximum
weapon range.
That's all you need to remember, everything
else are clarifications and answers for specific
questions.
Blocked swings that contact a weapon or
shield and successful hits that contact the
body are counted as flurry swings. Feints
and swings that do not make contact against
weapons, shield, or body do not count as a
flurry swing. You must reset your flurry after
you have made three swings with contact
before resuming attacks on that opponent.
An opponent can't try to prevent you from
resetting your flurry by advancing. If you
have retreated in an attempt to get out of
weapon range but your opponent's advance
has prevented you from doing so then you
may reset your flurry after a full second
pause.
Incidental weapon contact and aggressively
engaging an opponent's weapon with beat
attacks or offensive parries can make flurry
determination confusing. We realize it is
difficult to determine if these types of weapon
maneuvers count as a strike in a flurry. As a
Rule of Etiquette, if both your elbow and
the weapon tip move forward and
contact an opponent's weapon then
count that as one of your flurry strikes
even if it was not your intention to
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
launch an attack. This might mean that
both combatants use up a Flurry swing during
incidental weapon contact.
2.4 The Proximity
Rule
You must maintain a safe distance from
any active opponent. If you can reach out
and touch the torso of an opponent with your
hand then you are too close and you must
back away. If there is a significant difference
in the reach of two opponents, the opponent
with the shorter reach may approach close
enough so that they can strike their opponent
with their weapon so long as they cannot
touch the torso of the opponent.
2.5 Claws & Natural
Weaponry
Some characters have the ability to use claws
or natural weaponry instead of, or in addition
to, weapons. These weapon props are red,
though some plot creatures may have props
that are constructed to appear to be part of
that creature.
Claws are considered to be melee weapons
and can be used to block melee attacks.
Claws are not affected by Disarm. Destroy
effects delivered to such weaponry will cause
a Maim effect to the limb using the weapon.
Claws and natural weaponry are not bladed
weapons, and cannot be used with skills or
effects that require bladed weapons. If you
are holding a claw that is struck by a melee
or missile attack, and you cannot legally block
with the claw due to some game effect, you
will be affected by the attack since you
cannot drop the claw in response to the
strike.
Missile Attacks
2.6
There are two types of missile attacks.
Projectile attacks and thrown weapons.
Page 23 of 208
Projectile attacks are defined as
projectile weapons such as bows and
crossbows, NERF type guns, and foam
arrows and bolts. You may fire a projectile
weapon such as a crossbow from each hand if
you are skilled in using that weapon in both
hands.
Unlike melee attacks, any projectile attack
that has no verbal causes 3 points of
damage and will cause enemies to become
unstable when they fall unconscious just like
called melee attacks. However, this is still
considered uncalled damage for the purposes
of skills that can resist uncalled damage.
Thrown weapons are defined as anything
thrown and not from a projectile device.
These only do one point of uncalled damage
just like a normal weapon strike and do not
cause you to become unstable. If a weapon
is designed as a thrown weapon or projectile,
it cannot be used in melee combat. You may
only throw one thrown weapon at a time. You
cannot use thrown weapons if you lose the
use of your arms via in game skills like Maim
or shackles or the use of game skills via
Drain.
2.7 Packet Attacks
A packet is a small bean bag filled with
bird seed that represents some sort of
mystical, psychic, or supernatural ranged
attack form. Packets have strict construction
guidelines. You call a verbal and throw a
packet at a target to deliver the attack. If the
packet hits the target, or any direct
possession of the target, then the effect is
delivered to the target. You cannot throw
packets too hard. If you are winding up to
throw the packet then you are throwing too
hard.
Packets are not solid objects and cannot be
affected by Disarm or Destroy, but they are a
visible, in game effect. If someone is carrying
packets and you see the packets, you can
assume they have some sort of aura that
makes you realize they are capable of
something special.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
Because of this, you cannot carry or throw
packets unless you have the power to use
them for something.
If a packet clearly strikes a target and they
do not acknowledge the hit through role
playing or by negating it with a defense, the
attributes or their equivalent are not
exhausted. If the packet misses, or you
cannot tell whether the packet hit, then
attributes or resources are exhausted
normally.
To deliver a packet attack, the arm that is
delivering the packet must be free and the
hand empty except for the packet itself. A
free arm cannot have props tucked under it or
tied to it other than armor. You cannot deliver
packet attacks if you cannot use game skills,
or if the arm is affected by something that
prevents its use such as a Maim effect or
shackles. Some packet based skills have
additional requirements as well.
Packet attacks cannot be used while you are
being hit. Melee, missile and packet attacks
will interrupt your verbal if they land while
you are speaking it. The ability is not used up
and attributes or their equivalent are not
wasted, but the ability is interrupted and you
must begin the verbal again. Some creatures
may have the ability to use packet attacks
even while they are being hit. They will
indicate this by saying "Innate" before the
packet verbal when they make the attack.
2.7.1 Costume Rule
In order to encourage the use of good
costuming and add a little more realism, we
have the Costume Rule. If a packet attack
clearly misses a target and passes by the
body, yet that packet hits a cloak or
costuming piece after it has gone past, the
defender can call out "costume." This rule
cannot be used if the costuming is in front of
the defender or if the packet has not already
passed the body. The rule is in place to
encourage cloaks, back banners, and some
directed character costuming such as wings
without adding an unacceptable disadvantage
to the character in combat.
Page 24 of 208

2.8 Special Attacks
Special attacks are delivered in unusual
ways rather than using the regular
melee, missile, and packet combat
system. They represent large scale effect
and atmospheric conditions. Special attacks
always begin with the person or area that the
attack affects and that is followed by a verbal.
If you have a defense that works against the
verbal of a special attack you can use it to
negate that attack. Once the verbal of these
attacks has begun the effect is already
delivered. You cannot, for example,
retroactively turn to a spirit during the verbal
to negate it. The individual types are detailed
below.
2.8.1 Affliction
Someone delivers an effect to your immobile
or unconscious form by touching a weapon or
packet to your torso and stating "Affliction
One, Affliction Two, Affliction Three" clearly
and slowly followed by a verbal. This works
like a Death Strike and can be interrupted in
the same manner as a Death Strike. (See
2.10.2.2) The verbal may be a standard
effect, or it may deliver an Inflict effect in
which case the player will give you an effect
card.
2.8.2 Gaze
Someone who has met your gaze for a full
three seconds calls out or whispers "By my
gaze" followed by a verbal. A vampire might
whisper "By my gaze, Paralyze by Will." Other
creatures might cause fear or other effects.
2.8.3 Gesture
Someone points at you with a hand or a
weapon and calls out By my gesture
followed by a verbal. If the effect has a
duration that is not instantaneous, then
instead of the normal duration, the effect
lasts so long as they point at you. In
AfterMath, player characters may only
gesture at one target unless specified in the
description of the spell or skill. NPCs may
still target multiple people.
2.8.4 Name
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
Someone calls out "By your name," states
your name, part of your name, or some
pseudonym that you have used and calls out
a verbal. The attack is delivered to you if you
recognize that name as a name you have
used or a name that person might use to
refer to you. Basically, if you know they are
talking about you then you take the effect.
2.8.5 Room
Someone calls out "In this room" and an
effect, and everyone in that room will be
affected by it. Doorways and gates act as
room dividers. This delivery is commonly used
for traps and performances. The attack only
works within an enclosed room that has
normal doorways and corridors as exits. The
attack will affect you if any part of you is
within the room when the verbal is called.
2.8.6 Voice and Ambient
Someone calls out "By My Voice" and an
effect and everyone who hears it will be
affected by it. You cannot defend against
Voice attacks by intentionally obscuring the
sound of the verbal with loud noise or by
plugging your ears. Voice attacks indicate
that the effect is radiating from the creature
calling the effect. This type of attack never
sets off Shield defenses.
Ambient is the same as above except it is
called to notate that the effect is not
originating from that creature but is more of
an environmental effect.
2.8.7 Verbals
A verbal is a short phrase that is called
out when an ability is used to explain the
effect of that attack. Each verbal can have
an effect and a trait for that attack. The trait
indicates the flavor1, or type, of the attack so
you may role play the effects and perhaps use
a defense to negate the attack if it strikes
you. The effect indicates what the attack does
to you.
A verbal is an out of game phrase. You must
call your verbal even if you are affected by
1
Flavor of attack indicates a specific descriptor, such as
1 damage by Shadow
Page 25 of 208
Silence. If you hear the beginning of a verbal
you must listen to the phrase and play out
the effect.
Verbals for melee attacks are called out as
you swing your weapon. Verbals for missile
and packet attacks are called out before you
release the projectile from your hand. You call
out a phrase that takes the form of <effect>
by <trait>.
For example, a poison that freezes you in
place would use the verbal "Paralyze by
Poison". A bolt of fire that causes 5 points of
damage would use "5 Damage by Fire" as the
verbal.
If you hear a verbal, your character knows
instinctively what happened. The verbal not
only tells you the effect out of game, but it
represents the effects of the attack in game.
You never have to play it dumb. The verbal "4
Damage by Fire" might represent a roar of
flame. The verbal "Maim by Lightning" might
represent a flash of light. The verbal
"Paralyze by Fear" might represent the hairs
rising on the back of your neck. However you
imagine it, the verbal tells you what
happened both in and out of game.
Verbals should not be confused with
incantations. Incantations are magical words
that are used to cast a spell. These are in
game magical phrases that are required for
all but the most powerful mages to cast
magic. Spells usually have incantations, but
they also end with a verbal.
Remember that there are two rules that apply
to all called attacks:
You must finish the verbal for a called
attack before launching a packet or
missile attack. You call out the verbal
as you swing a melee attack. If there
is an incantation, which is an in game
phrase associated with an attack, then
that must be clearly spoken before the
verbal. This is true for melee, missile
and packet attacks.
All called hits must be acknowledged
through role playing. Many skills are
consumed only if the recipient calls out
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
a defense or role-plays the effects of
the attack. If you don't role play the
effect, the attacker may assume that
you were not struck and the skill not
used.
2.9 Traits
A trait is a label that is given to a character,
an attack, a defense, or an item. Traits help
describe the flavor of game effects and define
how abilities interact with each other. There
are four types of traits. A character trait is
any trait that is somehow given to a
character. An attack trait is added to an
attack verbal and defines the flavor of that
attack. A defense trait is added to a defense
call. An item trait is added to a tagged item
and gives that trait to anyone carrying that
item.
An attack trait tells you which defenses can
be used against that attack. A character or
item trait can be used to determine if certain
effects worked against you. If you had the
Undead trait, for example, then an attack
that caused "5 Damage to Undead" would be
effective against you. A defense trait is
generally used for flavor, but it is possible to
have skills or abilities that can be used only if
a defense with an appropriate trait is used.
In AfterMath, there are several types of traits
that a character can have. This can change
based on how many character points you
have spent, what skills you have, and what
race you are.
Here is a breakdown of traits you
automatically gain based on race:
Living- All races get the Living trait with the
exception of the Soulless.
Race- A character's race is always considered
a trait. Some races have additional traits in
addition to their race.
New Bloods, Old Bloods, and Unclean also
have the Human trait.
Guardians have their specific element.
Page 26 of 208

Soulless have the Mechanical trait
A character who has not yet spent 50
character points to improve gains the Initiate
trait. A character who has spent at least 50
character points gains the Experienced trait.
A character who has spent at least 100
character points gains both the Experienced
and the Accomplished trait.
Learning certain skills can give you other
Traits as well. Each Discipline and Focus that
you purchase is also a trait. A character that
has purchased the Rogue discipline, for
example, has the Rogue trait. Also When the
first spell is learned in a specific school of
magic the person learning the school gains a
new trait that will stay with the person as
long as that spell is known. The specific trait
you gain depends on the school of magic:
Blood Mage- Blood, Magic
Priest- Holy, Magic, Power (Ar-el, Genshi,
Tormen)
Pathwalker- Animal, Magic, Nature
Psionic- Will
Shifter- Animal, Nature
Sorcerer- Elemental Trait (Air, Earth, Fire, Force,
Radiation, Water.), Magic
Martial Artist- Ki
Warbringer- Magic
2.10 Vitality
Vitality is a count of how much damage
you can take before you collapse. In
AfterMath, each character has a number of
Vitality points equal to the average of the
Brawn attribute and the Essence attribute.
Vitality is always rounded down. Although
Vitality is based off of two attributes, they are
totally separate statistics. Exhausting Brawn
or Essence points does not affect Vitality and
taking damage does not reduce Brawn or
Essence. Only a permanent change to Brawn
or Essence will cause your maximum Vitality
to change.
As you take damage, your Vitality points are
exhausted. These points can never drop
below zero. Healing refreshes Vitality and
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
these points are also refreshed at the
beginning of each event. If your Vitality ever
reaches zero you will collapse and become
unconscious. Unconscious characters that are
taken down by uncalled melee or missile hits
are stable. Characters taken down by any
other kind of damage, from called melee or
missile hits, from firearms, from traps, from
packets, or from anything with a verbal
become unstable.
2.10.1 Unconscious
You are incapacitated and must collapse
to the ground. You must close your eyes
and you cannot move or speak while you are
unconscious. You cannot use game skills
unless a skill explicitly explains that it can be
used while unconscious.
If you fall unconscious, but you are
stable, you will remain unconscious for five
minutes. After that time you will wake up with
1 point of Vitality. If someone hits you with
an attack for called damage while you are
unconscious and stable you will become
unstable and begin your 1 minute count.
Other effects can be inflicted upon you while
you are unconscious and stable and those
effects will still be active when you wake up.
If healing raises your Vitality above 0 then
you will become conscious. A death strike
successfully delivered to your torso will kill
you.
If you are unconscious and you are
unstable you are dying from blood loss and
shock. You will linger for one minute before
dying. A Stabilize effect will change your
condition to stable and you will begin your 5
minute count. Other effects can be inflicted
upon you while you are unstable and those
effects will still be active if you wake up. If
healing raises your Vitality above 0 then you
will become conscious. A death strike
successfully delivered to your torso will kill
you. If someone begins to use First Aid on
you, your count will be suspended until they
stop the First Aid. If they call Stabilize you
become stable and start your five minute
count. If they do not finish the First Aid, your
one minute death count will continue where it
was before they started using the skill.
Page 27 of 208
Rule of Etiquette
Players who are unconscious close to combat,
may open their eyes to watch for out of game
danger if the battle moves too close. It is
important for players to be able to protect
themselves during these times. If you open
your eyes for safety reasons then we ask that
anything you see during that time remain
outside the normal knowledge of the game.
2.10.2.1 Death
There are four ways you can die in this
game.
First, you can be knocked unconscious
and unstable and remain that way for a
full minute. This is referred to as
"bleeding out" and is described above.
Second, you can be killed if someone
delivers a successful death strike to your
torso (2.10.2.2)
Third, you will be killed by an attack with
a Death effect that you cannot negate.
(2.10.2.3)
Finally, special areas might cause your
death if you have a mishap. (2.10.2.4)
2.10.2.2 Death Strike
A death strike is used to kill an
unconscious or immobile victim. You must
touch a weapon to the torso of the victim
while saying "Death strike one, death strike
two, death strike three". This verbal must be
spoken clearly and at a normal speaking
pace. You do not need to have skill with the
weapon to inflict a death strike.
To inflict a death strike, the victim must be
unmoving. The victim can be unconscious or
unmoving because of a game effect, but you
cannot inflict a death strike on a body until it
comes to rest after an attack, nor can you
inflict a death strike on a helpless but
struggling victim. If the victim can move, the
victim can prevent a death strike. First you
must render the victim unconscious or
unmoving, and then you may inflict a death
strike.
To interrupt a death strike, you must strike
the person attempting to deliver the death
strike with a melee, missile or packet attack.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
You may also interrupt the death strike by
striking the weapon used to perform the
death strike with a weapon of your own. You
do not have to force the weapon away. A
death strike that is interrupted is canceled
and has no effect.
2.10.2.3 The "Death" Effect
Any effect that successfully inflicts a
Death effect kills you immediately. Of all
the various game effects, only the Death
effect will kill you outright. The Death effect
may be nullified by an appropriate defense.
2.10.2.4 Mishaps
There might be large scale traps,
challenges, and mishaps in special areas
that can cause you to perish if you are
unfortunate enough to stumble into them.
Closing walls, deep pits, and other deadly
traps might kill you outright. These areas will
be marked or made clear to you during the
course of the game.
2.10.2.5 When you die, all active effects on
your person end unless an Imbue or Inflict
effect specifically says otherwise on the effect
card. Your remains will linger for five minutes
before you change to a spirit of the dead and
begin to walk to the gate of death. Only
effects with "to Spirit" or with "to Dead" traits
will affect a spirit of the dead.
2.10.2.6 Spirits of the Dead
After 5 minutes of death, a dead
character becomes a spirit of the dead.
Your spirit and everything you still carry is
drawn to a special area of the game marked
as a Death area. Your spirit will even pick up
your own weapons if they are within reach
unless someone else possesses them. When
you rise as a spirit you must proceed directly
to the Death area. You must walk with your
head bowed and your arms at your side. You
cannot interact with any other character
unless they use an ability that allows you to
do so. You cannot drop items. You cannot use
any game ability. If someone tries to interact
with you, reply "Spirit" and continue on your
way.
Page 28 of 208
In AfterMath, the Death area is The Gate of
Death. This is the gate to the Realm of
Death. When you arrive at the gate you must
follow the posted instructions and ring the
bell. You will wait for The Gambler to arrive
and call you into the gate.
While you are a spirit of the dead, there are
very few effects that will work on you. The
only effects that will work are effects with "to
Spirit" or "to Dead" in the verbal. These are
Bane effects specifically designed to affect
spirits. The most common is a "Speak to
Dead" effect. This type of "Speak" effect will
allow you to converse quietly with the
character that used the effect. You cannot
stray from your path or use any game skill
while talking. You are not compelled to
communicate, but you may do so. Other
effects might include "Imbue to Spirit" and
"Inflict to Spirit." If the description on the
effect card states that it works on a spirit of
the dead then you must follow the
instructions given therein. You may use Resist
and Purge defenses while you are a spirit of
the dead if they are appropriate for an attack
that strikes or affects you.
2.10.2.7 Final Death
If the spirit cannot return from the Death
area then the character passes beyond
this world and is said to have taken a
final death. Final death means that you can
no longer play the character in question, and
adds an air of danger to the game by
threatening your in game persona.
Attack Effects
2.11
The effect of an attack describes how that
attack benefits or impairs you. The effect is
the first part of any verbal. Some effects
target items rather than characters. Each
effect will have its own duration, but curing or
removing that effect will end it.
Timed Effects
There are various effects and activities that
require time before they are completed or
removed. This time is defined in one of two
ways:
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
Rest time is generally used when an effect
has some passive duration which will wear off
if you have time to rest.
Activity time is used when you must perform
some action such as repairing an item or
mending wounds before an effect will take
place.
In order to satisfy either requirement you
must spend the time uninterrupted. If you are
forced to break the conditions of Rest or
Activity time then that attempt ends and you
must start again from the beginning.
Resting time requires you to be sitting, lying,
or kneeling. You cannot walk or run. You can
talk and gesture, but you cannot use game
skills, used called attacks, or use called
defenses while you are resting. Effects which
require rest can overlap; what this means is
that a single rest time can be used for
multiple effects.
If you had a game skill that allowed you to
reset some kind of magical defense after a
minute of rest, and you were affected by a
Root effect, and you were affected by a
Weakness effect you could rest for five
minutes and apply the time to all three
benefits. The Root would end, the Weakness
would end, and the skill could be used to
reset the defense. Activity time represents
something that requires your concentration.
Activity time might be required to repair
armor, mend wounds, or meditate to remove
an effect. You must spend the time role
playing in a manner appropriate for the skill
or ability you are using. You may talk with
others during this role play time if you wish
so long as the skill or ability description does
not have additional restrictions in its
description.
Activity time requires that you stay in the
same area as you role play the activity. You
cannot walk or run outside of the immediate
area. You cannot use other game skills, used
called attacks, or use called defenses during
this time. Skills and abilities which require
activity time do not overlap; what this means
is that if you have two different skills that
require activity time to perform that time
spent on one ability cannot be applied to any
other activity. You have to role play each
Page 29 of 208
activity time separately to use the ability.
Effects that prevent you from using game
skills also prevent you from spending activity
time to refresh abilities. Resting time and
Activity time do not overlap.
For example, Travis and Gerard each have a
skill that provides armor points. Travis has a
skill that requires one minute of rest to
refresh his armor points. Gerard has a skill
that requires one minute of activity to refresh
armor. Both sit down to rest off a Weakness
effect. During that time, Travis may also
refresh his armor points. Gerard will still have
to spend one minute of role play to refresh
his armor.
Many attacks last until you rest for five
minutes. You must be sitting, lying, or
kneeling to rest. You cannot walk or run. You
cannot use any game skills while you are
resting. Effects that require rest will not end
until you rest for five uninterrupted minutes.
You are also resting if you are dead,
unconscious, stunned or paralyzed. Paralyzed
characters are considered resting even if they
are standing. You cannot refresh attributes or
skills while you are resting. Both are
interrupted by a successful non-beneficial
attack.
2.11.1 Agony
You are wracked with pain. You cannot
attack or use most game skills. You may run,
defend yourself by blocking with weapon skills
and can use called defenses. Agony lasts for
10 seconds.
2.11.2 Cure
The Cure effect removes effects on the
target. A Cure <Effect> will remove all
instances of that specific effect. A Cure
<Trait> will remove every active effect with
the appropriate trait except Imbue and Inflict
unless the Imbue or Inflict card specifically
says otherwise. Cure will never restore
Vitality. Cure is a beneficial effect.
Example:
Travis has been affected by the following
attacks: Slow by Disease, Slow by Will, and
Drain by Will. A Cure Slow will remove both
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
the Slow by Disease and the Slow by Will
since they are both Slow effects. A Cure Will
would remove both the Slow by Will and the
Drain by Will since they both have the Will
trait.
If a "Cure Maim" effect references a specific
limb, the effect will only remove Maim effects
on that limb. If the Cure Maim effect does not
specify a limb, it will cure all Maim effects
active upon the target. If an ability or skill
allows you to use the "Cure Maim" effect on a
specific limb, you cannot use that ability as a
general "Cure Maim" effect.
A "Cure Death" effect will restore a dead
target to life and leave them with 1 Vitality
unless that target has transformed to a Spirit
of the dead.
Once a character has transformed to a Spirit
of the dead, only the rare "Cure Death to
Spirit" effect can restore them to life, and
only if it is used before the Spirit reaches its
destination.
A "Cure <Inflict Name> to/by <Trait>"
effect will remove a trait given to you by an
Inflict, Imbue, or other effect that is
temporary. It has no effect on a permanent
trait granted by race, skill, or the like.
2.11.3 Damage
This effect removes Vitality points as
described in the section on Vitality. Unlike
typical effects, Damage is instantaneous. It
removes Vitality points and then the effect
ends. You cannot remove or dispel damage.
Vitality points must be restored though
healing.
In AfterMath, called melee damage has a cap
of 10 damage. However, should you break
that cap you are allowed to add extra effects
on top of your 10 damage depending on by
how much you break that cap.
11-13: 10 damage and Maim
14-16: 10 damage and Agony
17-19: 10 damage and Slam
20+: 10 damage and Death
You may use any lower add on to instead of a
higher add on if you wish.

2.11.4 Death
An attack with this effect kills you. You
fall down dead, as if you had been struck with
a death strike. All temporary effects upon you
end when you are killed except for Imbue and
Inflict effects that are not specifically
removed by death.
Death lasts for 5 minutes, after which you will
rise as a spirit and travel to the Realm of
Death. This process is described in greater
detail in the Spirits of the Dead section.
Cure Death and certain special abilities can
affect you while you are dead. Some
strengthen your spirit so it is not weakened
by the presence of Death. Some might even
restore you to life.
Others might cause unpleasant effects. All of
these will be handled using an Imbue or
Inflict effect. In these cases you will be given
an effect card that explains the results of the
Imbue or Inflict effect.
2.11.5 Destroy
This effect is unique in that it is inflicted
upon an item rather than a character.
Because of this, the item becomes the target
for the attack. Melee attacks affect the item
struck, while missile and packet attacks affect
one item that will be named in the verbal.
This item becomes unusable until someone
with the appropriate skill spends one minute
of time to fix it. The item is not destroyed,
just damaged and in need of repair before it
can be used. The prop must still be carried,
for it represents the broken item. The skill
varies with the type of item. Some
characters with unusual forms, such as
constructs, may be affected by Destroy if it is
used upon them directly by saying "Destroy
Body."
In AfterMath, weapons and armor are
repaired by the Smith skill. Other items
are repaired by various other skills. Some
items, such as potions, cannot be repaired
and are lost forever. When an item with a tag
is affected by a Destroy, the tag is either
marked or destroyed.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
Items without tags or safety stickers (such as
clothing, belts, pouches, and the like) cannot
be affected by Destroy. If armor is destroyed
all the points are exhausted until it is
repaired.
2.11.6 Diagnose
This effect is used to determine if the
recipient is inflicted with a specific
effect, trait, or game condition. You may
use Diagnose to determine the presence of
any effect or trait mentioned in chapter 2 with
the exception of Imbue/Inflict effects and the
Traits listed under header 2.9. You may also
use Diagnose to determine if the recipient is
currently Stable, Unstable, Dead, or
Damaged. Touch the recipient with a packet
and say "Diagnose" followed by the effect,
trait or game condition. The recipient says
"Yes" if they are inflicted with the named
effect or an effect with the named trait, or if
they suffer the game condition. Otherwise
they say "No." You may only Diagnose
Elemental, Mental, Metabolic, and Physical
traits or attacks.
Example:
Travis is lying on the ground unstable and
has been affected by a Slow by Disease and a
Paralyze by Magic. Another player leans over,
touches him with a packet and says
"Diagnose Stable." Travis says "No." She says
"Diagnose Unstable" and Travis says "Yes."
She uses a Heal effect on Travis but he still
doesn't move. Puzzled, she says "Diagnose
Stun." Travis says "No." She says "Diagnose
Paralyze." Travis says "Yes." She has the
ability to Cure Poison, so she says "Diagnose
Poison." Travis says "No." She decides to wait
until the Paralyze wears off.
If someone uses "Diagnose Damage" on you,
you may choose, for the sake of expediency,
to include in your reply the current number of
Vitality points that have been removed by
Damage. If, for example, you have taken two
damage that has not been healed and
someone uses "Diagnose Damage" on you,
you may reply with a simple "Yes" or you may
reply with a "Yes, two." The choice of how to
respond is up to you.
2.11.7 Disarm
Page 31 of 208
You must drop everything in the hand
indicated by the verbal. You can pick up
items immediately after they have come to
rest. You may pick up an item as soon as it
stops moving. The verbal will contain either
"Disarm right hand" or "Disarm left hand." If
you are holding a fragile or breakable prop,
including an air gun, you may put it down
rather than drop it, but in this case you
cannot pick it up for a full five seconds.
Delivering this effect with a melee attack
requires you to strike that weapon while
calling the Disarm effect. You do not need to
specify a hand.
The hand that is holding the weapon will be
affected. A melee delivered Disarm will not
affect a shield unless the "Disarm Shield"
verbal is used. You cannot disarm a shield
unless a skill or ability specifically allows the
use of "Disarm Shield."
2.11.8 Disengage
To initiate this ability either take a step back
or plant your feet for 3 seconds and gesture
at any number of opponents with your
weapons. You cannot move towards any
target. Everyone who is attacking you and
everyone indicated by the gesture of your
weapon must move back out of weapon range
so that you cannot cross extended weapons.
Targets that are rooted or cannot move back
may cross their arms and lean away from the
effect instead of backing up. Once the
distance has been increased and the space
indicated by the Disengage has been cleared
by all targets (or everyone has crossed their
arms and leaned away) the effect ends.
Disengage will not force a target into a
dangerous area. A target may choose to cross
arms and lean back rather than stepping back
into an area that will cause them some
detrimental effect. Disengage is not a melee
delivered attack and cannot be negated by
defenses that stop melee attacks.
2.11.9 Drain
For a simple Drain effect, you cannot run or
use any game skills, including weapon and
shield skills. If the verbal is followed by a skill
or ability name then you cannot use that
particular skill. Drain can also be used to
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
prevent entire skill headers. If a header is
drained, you cannot use any skill that falls
under that header. Drain can be used in this
manner to suppress racial abilities and
empowered named items. If an item is named
after a Drain effect then no abilities from that
item can be used until the Drain ends.
Only simple Drain effects prevent you from
running. The Drain effect will last until you
rest for five minutes.
2.11.10 Expose...
The Expose effect is followed by one trait. If
you have that trait and are subjected to this
effect, you must cry out, revealing the fact
that you have the trait and revealing your
position. You must cry out as loudly as the
Expose effect was called.
Although you may cry out softly if the Expose
was called softly, you still must make every
effort to ensure that you are revealed to the
person who called the effect. The Expose
effect is audible and you must cry out even if
you are unconscious or under the effects of a
Silence, Stun, Paralyze, or other disabling
effect.
You are not affected if you are Dead or have
the Spirit defense unless the Expose effect
targets those specific traits. This effect is one
of the few that will commonly be delivered by
voice.
2.11.11 Frenzy
This effect causes you to attack the closest
creature to you, regardless of recognition or
consequence. You may attack with any
standard skill that is not beneficial, though
you are not forced to use consumable skills in
this attack. If you are affected by a Repel
effect, or if you are not affecting the creature
in question, or if you cannot find a way to
reach the creature for 10 seconds you will
move on to the next closest creature. If
someone else attacks you and that creature is
more convenient than your current target
then that creature will become your new
target. The effect ends when you are
rendered dead or unconscious.
Page 32 of 208
2.11.12 Grant Effects
You gain a temporary enhancement to
your abilities. Grant effects last until the
end of the event, or until the granted ability is
used up. Grant is a beneficial effect.
Example: Travis has a +1 Brawn Grant effect
and a +1 armor Grant effect. Someone casts
a Grant 2 Armor on Travis which replaces his
Grant 1 armor but does not affect his +1
Brawn Grant.
There are five types of Grant effects.
2.11.12.1 Grant <#>Armor
This Grant adds additional armor points to
either physical armor or armor from other
abilities. These points are refreshed when
your armor points are refreshed. If no
number is indicated then this effect boosts
your armor points by 1. The effect might
indicate a higher number in the verbal such
as "Grant 2 Armor" to indicate that a greater
number of armor points have been granted. A
successful Destroy Armor effect destroys the
armor points and completely ends this type of
Grant effect.
Examples:
"Grant Armor"
"Grant 2 Armor by Inspiration"
2.11.12.2
Grant <Delivery> Attack
This Grant gives you one called attack that
uses the appropriate delivery. If the delivery
is omitted the recipient may choose melee,
missile, packet or in AfterMath firearm for the
delivery when they receive the effect. You
may use the indicated attack only if you have
the props to make an attack with the
specified delivery. For melee and missile
attacks, the attack is exhausted and the
Grant effect ends only if the strike lands and
the opponent acknowledges it with role play
or negates it with a defense. For packet
attacks the Grant effect ends when you throw
the attack.
Examples:
"Grant Melee Attack, 2 Damage"
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
"Grant Missile Attack by Venom, Agony by
Poison"
"Grant Packet Attack by Magic, Stun by Fear"
"Grant Attack by Arcane, 5 Damage by Fire"
A "Grant Melee Attack by Shadow, Weakness
by Shadow" would give you one melee attack
with the Weakness by Shadow effect. You
would call out "Weakness by Shadow" when
you used the ability.
A "Grant Packet Attack, 2 Damage by Fire"
would give you one packet attack and you
would call out "2 Damage by Fire" when you
used the ability.
A "Grant Attack, Paralyze by Will" would allow
you to choose melee, missile, or packet as
the delivery and you would gain one attack of
that type with "Paralyze by Will" as the
verbal.
2.11.12.3 Grant <#> Attribute
This Grant adds to the total of one numeric
attribute. Any points added with this effect
are available immediately for use. Effects
which refresh that attribute can also refresh
these additional points. These extra points
can be used in the same manner as regular
attribute points. A successful Waste effect
that reduces the boosted attribute also
completely ends this type of Grant effect, if
the attribute indicated is Vitality then Heal
effects work normally.
Vitality calculations and other secondary
attribute calculations are not affected by
points added by the Grant effect to another
attribute used in that calculation.
Examples:
"Grant Attribute, Brawn"
"Grant Attribute by Magic, 2 Vitality"
2.11.12.4 Grant <#>Defense
This Grant gives you one called defense that
can be used on attacks indicated by the
defense verbal. The defense you are Granted
is included at the end of the effect verbal.
Page 33 of 208
Once this defense is used the Grant effect
ends. If the defense portion includes a trait
then you must call out that trait when you
use the defense. The defense portion of the
verbal indicates the types of attacks it can be
used against by either indicating a trait or an
attack type. If there is no indication then the
defense may be used against any melee,
missile or packet attack. In AfterMath this
also includes firearms.
Examples:
"Grant Defense, Shield Poison"
"Grant Defense by Inspiration, Elude"
"Grant Defense by Magic, Parry Melee"
A "Grant Defense by Shadow, Avoid by
Shadow" would give you one defense against
any weapon or packet attack. You would call
out "Avoid by Shadow" when you used the
ability.
A "Grant Defense, Resist Poison" would give
you one defense against any attack with the
Poison trait. You would call out "Resist" when
you used the ability.
2.11.12.5 Grant <#>Protection
This Grant adds additional protection points
that negate points of damage. These
protection points work in a manner similar to
armor, negating the indicated amount of
damage regardless of the source. The number
of points is indicated after the "Grant" in the
verbal, and if no number is indicated then the
ability grants a single protection point.
Protection points are always lost after armor
points. Protection points cannot be refreshed
or renewed. Once they are used to negate
damage the effect ends.
Examples
"Grant Protection"
"Grant 3 Protection by Inspiration"
Grant Notes
Grant effects for Armor, Protection, and
Attributes provide a specific numeric
bonus and these types of Grant effects
do not stack. You may only have one
Grant Armor effect and one Grant
Protection effect at any particular time.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
Each attribute can only be affected by
one Grant effect at any particular time.
The beneficiary decides which Grant effect
they will keep. This applies to Grant effects
for Armor, Protection, and Attributes.
Grant effects that provide additional Attacks
or Defenses can stack, but you can have no
more than three such effects upon you at any
particular time. The beneficiary decides which
Grant effect they will keep.
Stacking Traits
"Grant Arcane Defense, Shield Poison"
"Grant Venom Attack by Alchemy, 5 Damage
by Poison"
"Grant 2 Faerie Protection by Awe"
"Grant 2 Arcane Armor by Magic"
"Grant Divine Attribute by Inspiration, 2
Willpower"
Optionally, a stacking trait can be added to a
Grant effect by adding it before the type in
the verbal. You can only have one Grant with
a particular stacking trait on you at one time,
regardless of type. If a Grant effect with a
stacking trait is bestowed upon someone who
already has another Grant effect with that
same stacking trait then the beneficiary
decides which Grant effect they will keep. The
stacking trait takes precedent over the default
stacking rules, even allowing Ability, Armor,
and Protection effects to stack with Grants
that don't have a stacking trait or that have a
different stacking trait.
The verbal "Grant Arcane Attack by Magic, 2
Damage by Earth" would create a melee,
missile, or packet Granted Attack with the
Arcane stacking trait. You could not have this
Grant and also have "Grant Arcane Defense,
Shield Magic" upon you. The "Grant Venom
Attack, 2 Damage by Poison" could not be
upon you at the same time as "Grant Venom
Attack, Stun by Poison." The recipient would
choose which effect to keep.
The verbal "Grant Arcane Defense, 2
Protection" has the Arcane stacking trait. This
effect would stack with "Grant Divine
Defense, 2 Protection" and would even stack
with "Grant Defense, Protection." It would not
stack with "Grant 2 Arcane Protection by
Page 34 of 208
Magic" and the recipient would choose which
effect to keep.
Double and Triple Grant effects will provide
multiple uses of the specified attack or
defense but only count as a single Grant
effect when counting the total number you
have upon you. In other words, you can have
a "Triple Grant Melee Attack, 2 Damage"
effect that grants you three melee attacks
each which do "2 Damage" and still have two
additional slots for other Grant Attack or
Defense effects.
2.11.13 Heal
This effect restores one point of Vitality.
If the effect is followed by a number, then it
restores Vitality equal to the indicated
number. Otherwise it restores one point. If
you are unconscious with no Vitality then
healing will restore one or more Vitality points
and you will wake immediately unless some
other effect is preventing you from doing so.
Heal is a beneficial effect.
2.11.14 Imbue...
This effect can be used in one of two ways. If
the Imbue effect is followed by a trait, then
you will gain that trait for the remainder of
the event.
Otherwise, this effect is an enhancement
or extra ability that is described on an effect
card that is given to you after the effect is
used upon you. An Imbue effect with no trait
will not take affect until you have read the
effect card. Imbue will usually give you some
ability that can be used during the current
event, although the effect card might describe
some effect that lasts beyond the current
event. Imbue is a beneficial effect.
Imbue cards can have a wide variety of long
term plot effects. Examples include granting a
defense against certain types of attack,
strengthening the spirit of a dead character,
and similar exceptional abilities. Defenses can
be used to negate Imbue attacks if those
defenses will stop an attack with the
appropriate trait.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
If a player can use an Imbue effect, then that
ability will always have some in game action
that must be accomplished before you can
utilize the ability. For example you may need
to gather and mix components. Or you might
need to construct an item from strange parts.
These actions earn you the effect card needed
to use the effect. You can never use an Imbue
ability without the appropriate effect card to
represent the properly prepared components.
Imbue is a beneficial effect.
2.11.15 Inflict...
This effect can be used in one of two ways. If
the Inflict effect is followed by a trait, then
you will gain that trait for the remainder of
the event.
Otherwise, this effect is some affliction or
detrimental effect that is described on an
effect card that is given to you after the effect
is used upon you. An Inflict effect with no
trait will not take effect until you have read
the effect card, so a character engaged in
combat may not be affected by Inflict effects
described on Inflict cards immediately; they
have time to retrieve the effect card and read
it when it is convenient and unobtrusive to do
so. Unconscious or dead characters must read
the card immediately. Inflict cards will give
you some unusual detriment that will have an
effect and a duration described on the effect
card.
Inflict effect cards can have a wide variety of
long term plot effects. Examples include
causing death after a certain amount of time,
causing you to transform into some type of
creature, inflicting you with a disease that
cannot be healed normally, weakening the
spirit of a dead character, and similar
exceptional abilities.
Defenses can be used to negate Inflict attacks
if those defenses will stop an attack with the
appropriate trait.
If a player can use an Inflict effect, that
ability will always have some in game action
that must be accomplished before you can
use it. You might need to gather and mix
components. You might need to construct
some item from strange parts.
Page 35 of 208
These actions earn you the effect card needed
to use the ability. A player can never use an
Inflict ability without an effect card to
represent the properly prepared components.
2.11.16 Maim
One limb becomes useless. An arm must
hang at your side and cannot be used for any
game ability. A leg becomes unusable. You
must go down on one knee - you cannot hop.
You may crawl using your other limbs. A
Maim effect will last for the duration of the
event. If a Maim effect is delivered by a
melee or missile attack, the limb struck will
be affected. If a Maim effect delivered by a
melee or missile attack strikes the torso then
the Maim effect is ignored. If a Maim effect is
delivered by a packet, the attacker can
include the limb in the verbal. For example, a
caster might call out "Maim Right Leg by
Fire." If the limb is not specified, then the
subject may choose one limb that is not
already affected by a Maim. Maim only
works on arms and legs.
2.11.17 Paralyze
You must stand frozen. You cannot move,
but you are aware of what is happening
around you.
If you are rendered unconscious, or if
someone tries to change your pose, you will
collapse to the ground. Paralyze will last until
you rest for five minutes. You are resting
while you are paralyzed even if you are
standing.
2.11.18 Refresh <attribute/skill>#
Refresh is always followed by either an
attribute or a skill that has a limited number
of uses. You recover one or more uses of
the named skill or one or more points of
the named attribute. If you do not have the
named skill or attribute then the Refresh has
no effect. As a default, Refresh restores one
point or use of a skill. If a number is placed
before the attribute or skill name then you
will restore more attribute points or uses of a
skill. Skills that require attributes cannot be
restored directly and are unaffected by a
Refresh effect.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
Refresh will never raise you above your
maximum attribute or give you more uses of
a skill than you would have at the start of an
event.
Refresh can also be used to restore abilities of
an empowered item. If the item has a unique
name and Refresh is followed by that name
then the abilities of the item are restored.
Refresh is a beneficial effect.
2.11.19 Repair < >
You restore one item that has been
rendered unusable by a Destroy effect.
For an item you are touching you need not
specify a target in the verbal. For other types
of abilities you specify a target after the
Repair verbal. Repair may also be used to
refresh armor points from physical armor. In
this case you use the "Repair Armor" verbal.
Repair is a beneficial effect.
2.11.20 Repel
This effect prevents you from using game
skills on the attacker. You will also attempt
to stay 10 feet away from the attacker unless
doing so would endanger you. If this is the
case you may move to a safer position even if
it takes you within 10 feet, so long as you
then attempt once again to stay 10 feet away
from the attacker. You cannot use game skills
on the attacker in any case. The Repel effect
will last until you rest for five minutes or the
attacker strikes you with a melee attack that
does not cause a Repel effect. If the attacker
strikes you with a melee attack using an
effect that is not Repel then this effect ends
immediately.
The attacker is not immune to the attacks of
a character affected by the Repel. That
character is free to launch attacks at other
creatures so the attacker should be careful to
stay clear of other potential targets and avoid
attacks launched at other characters.
2.11.21 Root
You cannot move your right foot from its
spot. You may pivot on that foot, and you
may move your left foot. A Root effect will
last until you rest for five minutes.
Page 36 of 208
2.11.22 Silence
You cannot talk or make any in game
verbal noise. You cannot use game skills
that require incantations. If you are affected
by an Expose effect you must mime crying
out but you do not make any actual noise.
You must still use out of game phrases as
normal. A Silence effect will last until you rest
for five minutes.
2.11.23 Slam
Some great force knocks you back and
off your feet. When you are struck with this
effect you role play an extremely forceful
blow or blast. You may take up to three steps
backwards and fall down. The steps backward
are optional. The effect ends when your chest
or back touches the ground. If falling to the
ground is an issue due to ground quality,
crowding or health you may opt to instead
take your steps, drop to a knee and place
both hands palm down on the ground as
shake your head for three seconds.
Some Slam effects are so powerful they
knock you back through a shield. If you hear
"Shield Slam" it works even if it strikes your
shield. This attack can be blocked by a
weapon and would count as a strike to the
limb holding the shield.
2.11.25 Slow
You cannot run. You may only walk at a
normal pace. The Slow effect will last until
you rest for five minutes.
2.11.26 Stabilize
If you are at 0 Vitality and unstable, this
effect makes you stable. You start your 5
minute count. Otherwise you call "No Effect."
Stabilize is a beneficial effect.
2.11.27 Stricken
You are unaffected by any beneficial
effect unless it removes the Stricken effect
from you. Call "No Effect" to any other
beneficial effect used on you.
There is one exception; the Stabilize effect
will work. Only a "Cure Stricken" effect or a
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
Cure <effect> applied to the trait of this
attack will remove this effect. An effect that
removes the Stricken effect from you will not
remove other effects. Stricken does not work
on items you carry or wear and items may be
affected by Repair or Imbue effects. The
Stricken effect will last until you rest for five
minutes.
If, for example, you have a Stricken by
Poison and a Paralyze by Poison effect upon
you a Cure Poison effect will remove the
Stricken effect but it will not remove the Cure
Paralyze effect. A second Cure Poison would
be needed to remove the Paralyze by Poison
effect.
2.11.28 Stun
You are knocked unconscious. Stun will
last until you rest for five minutes. You are
resting while you are stunned. Another
character may take a full minute of role play
to revive you and end this effect.
2.11.29 Speak
This effect allows you to converse with a
creature or being that cannot otherwise
communicate with you. It is usually used
with the Bane trait, allowing you to speak
with specific types of creatures. The subject is
under no obligation or compulsion to speak
with you, but it may do so if it wishes. The
Speak effect will last until a participant uses
another game skill or until a participant move
out of reasonable conversation range.
2.11.30 Waste...
Waste is always followed by either an
attribute or a skill that has a limited number
of uses. You lose one or more uses of the
named skill or one or more points of the
named attribute. Waste has no effect if you
have no attribute points or skill uses left. If
you do not have the named skill then Waste
to that skill has no effect. As a default, Waste
removes one point or use of a skill. If a
number is placed before the attribute or skill
name then you will lose more attribute points
or uses of the skill. Skills that require
attributes cannot be wasted directly and are
unaffected by a Waste effect.
Page 37 of 208
Wasted attribute points and skill uses can be
refreshed. A Cure Waste effect will restore
points or skill uses lost to Waste effects
unless they have already been refreshed or
restored by some other means. Once a
wasted attribute or skill use has been
refreshed a Cure Waste effect will have no
effect on you. Attributes and skills lost to a
Waste effect are always refreshed before
points lost through normal use.
Waste can also be used to remove abilities of
an empowered item. If the item has a unique
name and Waste is followed by that name
then any charged abilities of the item are
removed as if they had been used.
2.11.31 Weakness
Your ability to strike with melee attacks
is severely weakened. You cannot deliver
any called effects with your melee attacks.
Weakness does not affect uncalled strikes or
any other weapon skill. The Weakness effect
will last until you rest for five minutes.
2.12 Attack Traits
Most attacks include a descriptive trait. This
trait is indicated by the second part of the
verbal. The trait of an attack adds flavor to
the attack and determines whether certain
defenses can be used to negate the attack. If
an attack is "5 Damage by Fire" then the trait
of the attack would be Fire.
The "by Weapon" trait is dropped from the
verbal of normal melee attacks to reduce
noise. Any melee or missile attack with no
trait is assumed to have the "Weapon" trait.
Most attack traits allow you to role play the
effect. You may step back or cry out in
reaction to the attack. If you are surprised by
an attack, however, you cannot add
additional role play to the effect. For example,
if you were hit by a "Stun by Force" from an
enemy you were fighting then you could add
the role play of crying out or staggering back.
But if someone sneaks up behind you and
calls out "Stun" with a melee attack then you
should just go down. If someone sneaks up
and surprises you with a spell that you
honestly did not see coming, you should not
cry out to warn your friends.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
2.12.1 Elemental Traits
These include Air, Cold, Earth, Fire, Ice,
Lightning, Water, and Wind. In AfterMath,
Radiation and Force are Elemental Traits.
The effect is caused by elemental power.
Abilities that work against Elemental effects
will work against effects with any of these
traits. You may role play an Elemental effect
by crying out or stepping backwards as the
effect is inflicted.
2.12.2 Mental Traits
These include Confusion, Despair, Fear,
Inspiration, Madness, Presence, Trance,
and Will. The effect is caused by some
mental or emotional reaction. Abilities that
work against Mental effects will work against
effects with any of these traits. You may role
play a Mental effect by crying out or stepping
backwards as the effect is inflicted.
2.12.3 Metabolic Traits
These include Aging, Air, Cold, Disease,
Poison, Radiation, and Sleep. The effect is
caused by a Metabolic reaction. Abilities that
work against Metabolic effects will work
against effects with any of these traits. You
may role play a Metabolic effect by crying out
or stepping backwards as the effect is
inflicted.
2.12.4 Physical Traits
These include Crystal, Earth, Force, Ice,
Silver, Thorns, Weapon, Web, and Wind.
The effect is caused by a Physical force.
Abilities that work against Physical effects will
work against effects with any of these traits.
You may role play a Physical effect by crying
out or stepping backwards as the effect is
inflicted.
2.12.5 Self
This trait indicates that the effect works only
on the person using it. Instead of saying "by"
you would say "to Self" after the effect. This
indicates that you are the only target of the
called effect.
2.12.6 Special Traits
Page 38 of 208
All traits not included above are Special
traits. These can include, but are not limited
to, Acid, Blessing, Curse, Light, Magic,
Malediction, and Shadow. These traits are not
included in any general trait, so abilities must
specifically include them. Special attacks
allow no additional role playing; you will
suffer the effect of a Special attack
immediately.
In AfterMath, just to clarify, when you are hit
by a special trait, you can't add additional role
play above and beyond what is needed to
take the effect.
Let's say you come into the tavern late at
night and there are a group of players in the
corner role playing and two people who have
dozed off in the corner because it's late.
A Forsaken leans into the tavern through the
open door and throws a packet with the
Death effect at you.
If it's a "Death by Fire" you can role play the
effect loudly - yell like you are on fire as you
fall over dead thus alerting the other players
that perhaps something is wrong. If it's a
"Death by Poison" you can grasp you throat
coughing and choking as you fall over, maybe
crying out and falling on your knees hacking
as you die.
If it's a "Death by Magic" however, you would
just slump over dead with no additional noise
beyond falling down. You couldn't cry out or
embellish additional role playing as a way to
alert people there is an effect taking place. If
the other players don't notice you fall to the
ground, or worse slump over in your chair
then the caster might have a significant
advantage.
2.12.7 Bane
This is a unique attack trait that works
against another specific trait, and targets
only those creatures that have that trait.
Instead of saying "by" you would say "to" and
state the trait that is targeted. An attack that
stated "10 Damage to Undead" would be an
example of an attack with the Bane trait, and
the attack would only affect creatures with
the Undead trait. If you somehow lose the
trait that a Bane effect targets while under
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
that effect, then the effect ends immediately.
So, if you had a to Dead effect upon you
and you were brought back to life then the to
Dead effect would end. Remember that the
race of a character is always considered to be
a trait of that character. Bane attacks allow
no additional role playing; you will suffer the
effect of a Special attack immediately.
Some effects may have both a normal trait
and a bane trait. In this case the attack
affects only those targeted by the Bane affect
but it may be resisted by defenses that work
against the normal trait. An attack that stated
"Paralyze by Fear to Elf" would only affect
characters with the Elf trait but it could be
negated by a Resist Fear defense.
2.13 Defenses
These abilities allow you to negate abilities
used against you. Although there are a large
number of possible defenses that can be used
against specific causes and effects, all
defenses can be summarized as one of the
following types.
2.13.1 Avoid, Parry, Resist
You choose one attack of the appropriate type
to negate when it strikes you. You can allow
an attack to affect you and negate a later
attack. Although different verbals are used to
indicate the nature of your defense and to
add flavor to the game, all of these defenses
work the same way. You must call out the
defense when it is used
2.13.2 Elude, Guard, Shield
You negate the first attack of the appropriate
type that strikes you. Although different
verbals are used to indicate the nature of
your defense and to add flavor to the game,
all of these defenses work the same way. You
must call out the defense when it is used.
2.13.3 Purge
You may negate an attack after it has
affected you. You must spend three seconds
to role play this defense as you shake off the
effect, during which time you must remain
relatively still. You cannot use game skills
Page 39 of 208
while role playing the purge. You cannot use
Purge while unconscious unless doing so
would wake you. You cannot use Purge when
you are dead unless the skill specifically
allows you to use Purge Death in the verbal.
Purge is self only.
2.13.4 No Effect
You are unaffected by the attack in question.
This indicates a defense that is not
consumable. The attack does not affect you,
nor will it ever affect you.
2.13.5 Reduce, Absorb
You are affected by the attack in question,
but the effect has been mitigated, lessened,
or changed entirely. The actual reduction is
determined by the skill or ability that allows
you to use this defense. Reduce is often used
to indicate the effect has been lessened while
Absorb often indicates that the attack had a
different effect entirely. The verbal for this
defense might be followed by "to" and the
modified effect such as "Reduce to Maim" or
"Absorb to Heal 2." You must role play the
new effect appropriately.
2.13.6 Reflect
You choose one melee, missile, or packet
attack of the appropriate type to rebound
back at the attacker when it strikes you. Call
this defense to negate the effects of the
attack. If your attack is reflected then you
must take the attack as if your melee, missile
or packet had struck you. The attack retains
all of the original traits so it might not
actually affect you. You may use defenses to
negate the attack, including using Reflect to
bounce it back on the original target.
2.13.7 Spirit
You are insubstantial and are unaffected by
most attacks. You call "Spirit" to any attack
that you negate for this reason. You cannot
use game abilities unless specifically allowed
to do so. You cannot speak or converse with
other characters unless they use an ability
that allows you to do so. If someone tries to
talk with you, you may call "Spirit" to inform
them that you cannot speak. You cannot drop
any items. No one may search you, nor can
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
items that you carry be removed from your
person. Nothing can be thrown over you. You
cannot rest while in spirit form, and effects
that last until you rest will not be removed.
You cannot block doorways or portals.
If someone tries to move through a portal
that you are blocking then your insubstantial
form will be repositioned so you are no longer
blocking that area.
Characters who have died and are traveling to
the Realm of Death are spirits. If you gain the
Spirit trait because you have died and you
have become a Spirit of the Dead then you
also gain the Dead trait. Effects with the trait
"to Spirit" affect all spirits, while effects with
the trait "to Dead" affect only spirits of the
dead. You must walk with your head bowed
and your hands at your side.
Some abilities allow a living character to
become a spirit for a time, but these abilities
usually have special restrictions or will not be
absolute in their protection. You might gain a
trait and become vulnerable to attacks with
that trait even though you are a spirit. Some
of these skills last until you move. In these
cases you cannot move or speak without
ending the effect. If you turn into a spirit in a
place which blocks a portal or doorway then
you are forced to move to allow someone
through. Since this can end the effect you
must be careful to use these types of skills so
as to not block confined areas.
2.14 Defense Traits
A defense might have a trait associated with
it. The verbal should include the defense and
the trait with a "by" between them. This can
be done to add flavor to an ability, to
differentiate two similar skills, or to allow
other skills to key off certain defenses.
2.14.1 Chained Defense
A chained defense has an effect that is called
immediately after the defense. The verbal
should include the defense and the additional
effect with an "and" between them. If the
additional effect is an attack then that attack
must be launched immediately as the defense
is called. Using the additional effect could be
Page 40 of 208
optional or required. If the additional effect
affects the character using the chained
defense, then the ability must use the Self
trait and character must role play that effect
as if they had been struck by it.
Example: A Fire based attack strikes a Fire
Elemental. The creature calls out "Resist and
Heal to Self" to indicate that the attack was
negated and the creature was healed by
using the defense.
Example: A strong creature can tear out of
some physical effects but it takes damage
doing so. The creature is struck by the
appropriate attack, role plays for 3 seconds,
calls out "Purge and 2 Damage to Self" and
then role plays the damage effect.
Example: A character has an ability that
simulates a Riposte. The character is struck
by a successful melee attack, calls out "Parry
and 3 Damage," and immediately swings at
the person who attacked her.
Example: A creature has an ability that can
reflect attacks with the Magic trait back at the
attacker. The creature is struck by a
"Paralyze by Magic." The character calls
"Resist and Paralyze by Magic" and throws a
packet back at the attacker.
2.15 Armor
Armor provides points of protection that act
as a buffer against damage effects. Armor
points are removed by damage in a manner
Points awarded for armor are based on the type of armor and the body
coverage it provides. The values for armor coverage are given below.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook
similar to Vitality. Armor points are lost
before Vitality points.
In AfterMath, you must be skilled in the use
of armor to wear any. You may wear a prop
worth points without this skill, but the
protection it will provide will be limited by
your armor skill.
A character with the Smith skill can restore
physical armor. The smith must role play for
one minute at a forge to fix the suit of armor.
In AfterMath, armor is awarded points based
on its type and its coverage. Armor is divided
into light armor and heavy armor. The
weapon marshal evaluates armor.
Light armor includes light leather and thick
suede, hides made of fur, and micro chain
mail. Heavy armor includes plate, scale, and
bulky chain mail. Micro chain mail and thick
leather can be upgraded to heavy armor if
they have additional articulation or heavy
pieces such as pauldrons, bracers, or
greaves. The more the appearance of the
armor adds to the atmosphere of the game,
the more likely it will be evaluated in the
heavy category.
If the armor is from a single source such as a
Grant 5 Armor you may go beyond the
normal maximum 4. If someone casts a
Grant 5 Armor on you, and you choose to
accept this effect, you immediately exhaust
all other previous armor and will need to
repair it or reset it when the 5 armor effect
wears off.

2.16.1.7 Fists
These weapons represent fists. A fist needs
padding that covers at least 2/3 of its entire
length. The striking surface is the padded
area of the weapon above the grip. Fists are
not affected by Disarm effects. If a fist is
affected by a Destroy effect, the character will
take a Maim effect to the limb holding the
fist. Review the skill rules for max size of Fist
that your skill allows.
2.16.1.8 Glaives
Glaives are shafted weapons that have a
blade on both sides of the weapon. Each
striking surface covers at least 1/3 its entire
length, and the blade itself must be at least
18". The middle section of the glaive must
also be padded, although you can use 3/8
padding for the grip of the staff so long as the
full 5/8 is used for the striking surfaces.
Because both ends of the glaives are striking
surfaces, the glaive must have a thrusting tip
on both ends. All glaives are two handed
weapons. You can choke up to one end and
grasp the blade of a glaive only if you are
wearing thick gauntlets.
2.16.1.9 Hammers
These weapons represent maces, hammers,
and all types of smashing weapons with metal
heads. A hammer needs padding that covers
at least of its entire length. The striking
surface is a head of open celled foam at least
6" long that extends at least 4" from the
shaft, although this could be 2" on both sides
for a mace and could be just a second layer of
foam on both side of the weapon.
2.16.1.10 Polearms
Covering all types of longer pole weapons,
polearms have the advantage of reach. A
polearm must have padding that covers down
the striking end at least 1/2 of its entire
length. The striking surface must cover at
least 12", and must include additional
padding of open celled foam that extends at
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
least 1" from the shaft or another layer of
pipe foam cut in half.
2.16.1.12 Shields
Shields are defensive props used to block
weapon blows. They cannot be used to strike
another player. They are constructed from
light wood or plastic, and all exposed edges
must be protected with 5/8" thick foam
piping. Most shields use a handle and an arm
strap, but light shields might only have a
single handle. A buckler is a small shield that
cannot be more that 24" at its longest
dimension. A full sized shield cannot be more
that 36" at its longest dimension.
2.16.1.13 Spears
The spear is the only long weapon that may
be used one handed without a specific skill. A
spear can only be used to stab an opponent.
It cannot be used to swing. A spear must
have padding that covers down the striking
end at least 1/2 of its entire length. You
cannot fight with a spear and another weapon
if that weapon is longer than 36 without a
specific skill. If you are using a spear one
handed you may not thrust at any target
above the arm pit of the opponent.
2.16.1.14 Staves
Staves have a striking surface on both sides
of the weapon. Each striking surface covers at
least 1/3 its entire length. The middle section
of the staff must also be padded, although
you can use 3/8 padding for the grip of the
staff so long as the full 5/8 is used for the
striking surfaces. Because both ends of the
staff are striking surfaces, the staff must have
a thrusting tip on both ends.
2.16.1.15 Thrown Weapons
These weapons represent daggers, darts, and
javelins. These weapons must be at least 2
in length, but larger thrown weapons such as
javelins are allowed if the staff deems them
safe. Larger thrown weapons may be
weighted with birdseed, but at least 5/8 of
foam must be between the birdseed and the
surface. The following are some guidelines
that should be followed:
1. There should be no sharp edges.
Page 44 of 208
 2. The weapon should be made totally out
of padded foam.
3. On aerodynamic weapons (javelins,
large darts, spears) a thrusting tip should
be used to add extra protection, unless
they are entirely made of foam.
4. The weapon should not be able to knock
someone back when thrown.
Other than that everyone is free to come up
with his or her own designs, and we shall look

which is a slit, self sealing foam that is easy
to apply around the edges of a shield. The
pipe foam should fit snugly over the pipe
without rattling. If the foam is too big, you
may add a strip of weather insulation to the
core or use strapping tape to pad out the core
at three or four points. We prefer to use
weapons with a diameter of around 2, but
we allow a wedge to be removed from the
pipe foam to be so long as the diameter of
the weapon is no less than 1 and 3/4. We
reserve the right to restrict such weapons if
this proves to be problematic. The pipe
insulation must extend past the end of every
core by at least 1 and the resulting hole
must be filled with a rolled up bit of pipe
insulation. Use strapping tape to hold in the
filler. Once the basic padding is added, you
may add extra padding to two handed
weapons using another layer of pipe
insulation cut in half to fit over the foam. You
may also use a narrow strip of open cell
foam. Weapon heads are also made from
open cell foam. Attach the extra padding with
strapping tape to prepare it for the final layer
of duct or kite tape.
It is suggested that two handed weapons,
particularly staves, cover the grip area or at
least most of the grip area with a thin walled
pipe insulation to protect against accidental
contact with the grip. This is not required
unless a player is reported to hit opponents
frequently with the grip of the weapon.
2.16.2.1.3
Adding Cross Guards
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
Cross guards and hand guards may be added
to blades using pipe insulation or similar
materials. All guards must have give and be
deemed safe by the staff.
2.16.2.1.4
Adding the Pommel
If the weapon is a blade it will need a
pommel. Pipe insulation must extend past
both ends of the core by at least 1 and the
resulting hole must be filled with a rolled up
bit of pipe insulation. Use strapping tape to
hold in the filler.
2.16.2.1.5
Adding the Thrusting Tip
The tip of the striking surface must have a
thrusting tip. This tip is 2 of open cell foam.
Longer thrusting tips tend to bend. Cut the
foam to cover the tip. Take a length of tape
and place it so it goes across the end of the
tip and down both sides, attaching the tip to
the weapon. If the tip is round, use a razor to
cut the corners so the tape conforms to the
tip. Now add another piece of tape so it goes
across the end and down the exposed sides of
the foam tip. Use a razor to cut the corners so
the tape overlaps slightly and conforms to the
tip. Finally, poke many tiny holes all over the
tip so the air can escape and the tip can
contract and expand freely.
If the weapon uses other open cell foam, you
might find that when the foam compresses
that the tape wrinkles as it sticks to itself. You
can prevent this by covering the open cell
foam with plastic wrap used for food storage
or a plastic grocery bag before taping over
the foam.
2.16.2.1.6
Cover with Tape
You may now cover the entire weapon with
tape. Duct tape or Kite tape is allowed. The
tape should run down the length of the
weapon and have a slight overlap. It should
not be wrapped in a spiral around the blade.
Even duct tape varies in weight and
thickness, so you should look for a thinner,
light tape. The majority of the weapon should
be black or gray where there is metal, and
black or brown where there is wood. Bright
Page 46 of 208
colors are not allowed as the primary color of
the weapon, though decorations are allowed.

2.16.2.2 Thrown Weapons

2.16.2.2.1 Packets
Packets are small bean bags that are thrown
to represent magical attacks or special
powers. They should be made of stretchable
fabric and filled with birdseed. You should use
only small birdseed with no larger or sharper
seeds. A square of fabric is pulled around the
birdseed and its corners are gathered
together to form a tail and closed up with
strapping tape or rubber bands. You may also
sew a packet shut. Sealing the packet with
other types of tape will be allowed on a case
by case basis, and the packet should have
give in any case (meaning pack them loosely
they should not do real-life physical damage
on impact). Packets with any other material
inside will not be allowed.

The head of the packet should be between 1

and 1.5 inches in diameter, and the tail
behind the tape should not be longer than 4
inches. The fabric must be stretchable and
cannot be pulled so tight that it no longer has
give. You should be able to squeeze the
center of the packet and almost touch your
fingers together.

2.16.2.2.2 Other thrown Weapons

(Repeated here from 2.16.1.13) Thrown
weapons may be weighted with birdseed, but
at least 5/8 of foam must be between the
birdseed and the surface. The following are
some guidelines that should be followed:

1. There should be no sharp edges.

2. The weapon should be made totally out
of padded foam.
3. On aerodynamic weapons (javelins,
large darts, spears) a thrusting tip should
be used to add extra protection, unless
they are entirely made of foam.
4. The weapon should not be able to knock
someone back when thrown.

2.17 Production
In AfterMath we have several production
skills. These are used to allow players to
create various useful items that can affect the
game. Each production skill is different but
they do have some common rules in regards
to their creation. For a list of known
production items please see: 3.7
1) All production skills require some type
of directions or instructions. This is
usually a blueprint or recipe of some
sort. The directions must be present
when the item is being created. Some
directions are required to be used as
part of the creation of the item. This
will destroy the directions in the
process. This requirement will be
listed on the write up.
2) To create an item you must be in a
Workshop. A workshop is a central
location designated by the plot team
where different labs are able to be
created, maintained, and used. The
Workshop will have blank tags, empty
bags, phys reps, and a place to store
used components and Amps.
3) It takes one minute per level of the
item to create. So a level five item
takes five minutes. The whole time
youre working on an item you must
be role playing its construction using
the various tools in your lab. Filling
out the Tag is not part of this role-play
and should be done before or after the
role playing construction.
4) When you finish creating the item you
will write on a Master Item Tag all
rules and fill everything out
completely. It must be written legibly
so that anyone can read the tag. A
portion of this tag will be removed and
placed with all components and any
other spent items and placed in a
creation bag that is provided. Then all
used items in the creation bag are
deposited into the Waste Bin. If a
component is too big to be put into the
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
Waste Bin it should be tagged with a
Red Tag and a small hand written note
should be added in the creation bag to
indicate it was used.
5) Obviously no item can be created if
you are missing any components,
directions, or other required items.
If in the process of building an item
you realize that you are missing
something, you must stop and retrieve
whatever item you are missing. Then
you must start over.
6) All production items, unless otherwise
stated/labeled are considered Green
Tag.
2.18 Traps
Traps are devices or substances set to deliver
an effect to anyone who disturbs them or
attempts to get past them. Anyone can avoid
a trap, but no one can attempt to manipulate
a trap by moving it, disarming it, or affecting
the individual components unless they have a
skill that allows them to do so.
Most traps will cause an effect to the person
who set them off. If someone manages to
trigger a trap with a thrown object, then the
object will take the effect instead. If the trap
affects the entire room or corridor, then this
trick will not provide much help. Some traps
will work multiple times, while some will work
once. If an item is causing a trap to go off
continuously then anyone who touches the
item will take the effect.
If a trap is set in a small box, chest, or other
enclosed area no larger than 3 feet in any
dimension then setting it off will destroy
everything inside the area. Coins, items,
paper, and everything else inside will be
destroyed and cannot be removed from the
box. If any living creature has somehow
crawled into an enclosed area no more than 3
feet in any dimension with a trap and the trap
goes off then that fool will be killed instantly.
Page 48 of 208
There are four types of
traps:
2.18.1 Snap Trap
These traps make a snap sound when they go
off. They are represented by mousetraps,
party poppers, and snaps. These traps cause
2 Damage to whoever sets them off.
2.18.2 Buzzer Trap
These traps make an electronic sound of
some kind when they are set off. Sounds
used for these traps include beepers, buzzers,
and electronic sound effects like the moaning
of a rigged welcome mat you might find at
Halloween.
These traps cause 5 Damage to whoever sets
them off.
2.18.3 Verbal Trap
When these traps are set off you will hear a
trap sound and a voice will call out a verbal
associated with them. Whoever set the trap
off must take the effect of that verbal. If no
verbal is present, then the sound determines
the type of trap as described above.
2.18.4 Gas Trap
A magical trap, but the verbal will begin with
the words "To the Room..." Everybody in the
room will take the effect. This trap only works
in an enclosed room with normal doorways
and corridors leaving it. The trap will affect
you if any part of you is within the room when
the trap goes off.
In AfterMath Traps will have the Trap trait
OR if there is an effect card available it will
indicate if the effect is a trap or not, this will
clear up the fact that you can use avoid vs
trap or not.
2.19 Contact Poison
This attack is represented by petroleum jelly.
If you touch the jelly with bare skin, you will
take an effect of "5 Damage by Poison." A

.
character with the appropriate skill may apply
such a substance directly from the vial it was
created in.
Once applied to a surface, the jelly cannot be
scraped off onto another object. Only a
character with an appropriate skill may wipe
the substance off a surface with a cloth or
cloth like substance, but the contact poison is
destroyed in the process.
An item with contact poison is considered a
Red Sticker item. The fumes and burning of
the poison are overwhelming, even to a
character that is immune to it. The object
cannot be moved from its place or handled
until the poison is removed by a character
with the appropriate skill to do so.
2.18 Shackles
Shackles are a prop that bind the wrists or
legs of a character. An in game lock is affixed
to each prop to represent the locking
mechanism of that prop. The prop must be
loose enough to remain comfortable and, for
safety, the player must be able to easily
remove the prop if an out of game need
arises.
Shackles can only be placed on a helpless or
willing character if the lock is open. You place
the shackle prop on the helpless or willing
target and close the lock. Shackles placed on
the arm restrict movement and make it
impossible to use any skill that requires that
the arms must be free, including using
weapons, using packet attacks, and using
First Aid. You may use a skill that allows you
to attempt to open a game lock on your own
shackles. Shackles placed on the legs make it
impossible to run and restrict movement to
the extent of the shackles. A prop placed on
the ankles must be constructed to allow the
player to stand and walk slowly.
Shackles can be removed by opening the lock
or by using the Escape Artist skill (3.6) to
remove them.

would negate the Slow effect, but the
character would still be affected by the Drain
effect. If the character had both "Resist Slow"

2.21 Guns and Bullets
In AfterMath we use Gun Combat. To
simulate guns we use AfterMath approved
foam launching guns (typically NERF). All
weapons must be approved by a safety
marshal prior to coming into game each
event. Also all modifications must be
discussed with a Marshal before they can
come into game. Modifications to a weapon
typically have much more scrutiny as they
can pose a safety concern and can cause
some balance issues. Because in the real
world bullets make loud bangs and NERF
bullets do not make an audible change when
being dry fired, you may never intentionally
dry fire a weapon. However, an unloaded
gun may still be used to threaten someone
with.
Any projectile attack that has no verbal
causes 3 points of damage and will cause
enemies to become unstable when they fall
unconscious just like called melee attacks.
However, this is still considered uncalled
damage for the purposes of skills that can
resist uncalled damage. If you have an ability
to resist uncalled damage you may use it on
bullets, unless someone actually calls damage
with them. If any additional skills are used
when firing the gun, they must be called as
per normal procedures.
When fired all darts must be collected and go
through an examination before being fired
again. As such you may not pick up bullets
and fire them again. You are required to
bring them to a safety marshal (usually an In-
Game approved Fixer) to have them checked
before using again. There is typically an IG
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
charge for this service. Some NPCs are
trained as safety marshals and have the
ability to check their darts between cycles.
During cycles NPCs are not allowed to check
bullets and fire them, they must wait until
they recycle unless they have an approved IG
fixer with them who takes the appropriate
time to do this. Bullets belonging to PC or
those that belong to NPCs/Monster Camp are
considered red tagged items. They can be
given out as treasure but not stolen. If they
are given as treasure their will be an
accompanying effect card indicating if they
are charged. If no effect card is available,
and the NPC does not indicate the bullets
status, then they should be considered empty
and needing to be charged.
If your weapon jams in a way that the bullet
does not actually leave the gun, you do not
need to expend the attributes for the shot.
Similarly, if the weapon misfires such that the
bullet dribbles out of the end of the barrel
attributes are not wasted. As a guideline, if
the bullet travels less than one foot from the
end of the gun, as if the gun was laying on
the ground, it's a dribble. This does not affect
the charge of the bullet.
Food and Living
2.22
Maintenance
Quick Maintenance Overview
Regular- Normal Price (example- 10 AMPs)
Good Life- Double Price (example- 20 AMPs)
High Life- Quadruple Price (example- 40 AMPs)
2.22.1 Regular
Regular food and living maintenance will be
typically 10 Amps. The cost may vary due to
in game events such as a change in the
economy.
It is done at the beginning of the next event,
tavern night, or adventure day your PC
attends. If it is not paid then you will start to
starve (see Effects of Starvation). The
Page 51 of 208
payment is NOT cumulative, so if you miss an
event you do NOT have to pay for the event
you missed, but at the beginning of the event
you are at you must pay the normal cost
(unless you are starving (see Effects of
Starvation)).
Some effects, skills, and spells can wave the
cost of Food and Living Maintenance. If it is
an effect or a spell that is temporary and not
on the character card an effect card must be
presented to the Logistics team in place of
the maintenance money. If it is a skill or
effect that is on the character card, the
character card must be presented.
Adventure Days, Tavern Nights, and Full
Weekend Events all have maintenance but the
cost is different based on the type of event.
Full Weekend Events- Full Maintenance
Adventure Days- Half Maintenance
Tavern Night- Half Maintenance
Note: If a character must pay extra
maintenance other than the normal cost, the
player will have to pay the difference between
their maintenance and the extra, unless the
effect given to them specifically dictates
otherwise.
Example: if the cost is double maintenance
for a character, so they owe 20 Amps and
they receive something that waves normal
maintenance they would have to pay only the
10 AMP difference.
2.22.2 Good Life
Living the Good Life costs more than
Regular Living Maintenance. As it
represents you eating better and staying
in better conditions, the cost to live a
Good Life for food and living is double
the normal cost. It will give the character
an extra vitality for the whole event, raising
the maximum for the event. This must be
noted on the character card at the beginning
of the event when it is purchased.
Some effects, skills, and spells can wave the
cost of Good Life Food and Living
Maintenance. If it is an effect or a spell that
is temporary and not on the character card an
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
effect card must be presented to the Records
team in place of the maintenance money. If
it is a skill or effect that is on the character
card, the character card must be presented.
If for some reason the normal cost is waived
then the player is able to buy Good Life for
the difference between the two costs.
Example: if the cost was 10 Amps and the
cost for Good Life is 20 Amps then the player
would only have to pay 10 Amps.
2.22.3 High Life
Living the High Life costs more then Good
Life Maintenance. As it represents you
eating better and living in better
conditions then even those who live the
Good Life, the cost for High Life food and
living is quadruple the normal cost but
you gain the benefits of both. It will give
the character an extra Essence and an extra
vitality for the whole event, raising the
maximum for the event, but the Essence
increase does not effect the vitality
calculation. This must be noted on the
character card at the beginning of the event
when it is purchased.
Some effects, skills, and spells can waive the
cost of High Life Food and/or Living
Maintenance. If it is an effect or a spell that
is temporary and not on the character card an
effect card must be presented to the Records
team in place of the maintenance money. If
it is a skill or effect that is on the character
card, the character card must be presented.
If for some reason the normal cost is waived
then the player is able to buy High Life for the
difference between the two costs.
Example: if the cost was 10 Amps and the
cost for High Life is 40 Amps then the player
would only have to pay 30 Amps.
2.23.4 Effects of Starvation
The Maintenance cost is paid at the beginning
of every event, adventure day, or tavern
night. Those who fail to pay this cost will find
Page 52 of 208
themselves weaker by one Essence point to
represent the effects of starvation and
exposure to the elements, and they will gain
the 'Starvation' trait till the effect is lifted.
This reduction is cumulative for each event
this cost is not paid. Recovering requires you
to pay all previous costs. If your Essence is
ever reduced to 0 because of Starvation you
will perish and you must visit Death's Gate
when you enter game on the event in which
this has happened. After resurrecting you will
no longer have the Starvation trait and will be
back to normal.
There are some skills, effects, and spells that
can remove this effect from you. At the next
event you must present the removal effect
card as well as any Maintenance cost owed (if
any).
Special
2.24
AfterMath Rules /
Policies
In AfterMath we have a few special rules to
help with different effects.
2.24.1 Disarming Players / NPCs
When a PC or NPC comes across a willing or
incapacitated target they may spent 30
seconds of uninterrupted roleplay that they
are working on the weapon trying to disable it
during this time the character cannot do any
other actions nor walk. At the end of that 30
seconds they call Destroy Weapon. The
weapon must stay within touching distance
the whole time. If at any time the item is
moved out of the range of the person
destroying it, the person destroying it call out
any defenses, takes any damage, or the
person destroying it becomes incapacitated
the effect does not occur. Claws and Fists can
also be incapacitated this way per normal
claw/fist rules (Rules 2.5) they will suffer a
maim effect but the call is still Destroy
Weapon.
Note- All weapon physreps are considered red
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
tagged and should not be handled without the
express permission of the owner. Should you
gain clear permission from the owner prior to
you interacting or touching the weapon you
may role play with it directly or take the
weapon away from the player. This should
never disrupt the flow of the game nor
involve out of game discussions during the
event. But it is not uncommon for one player
to say to a incapacitated player I wonder if I
can take this weapon, should the
incapacitated player clearly give a nonverbal
agreement (thumbs up, nod of the head) then
its okay. If it is not clear, then the player
shouldnt proceed. When in doubt, the answer
is no.
Possuming or faking death
2.24.2
Rule of Etiquette
If a player is pretending to be dead when
they are not, simply taking a knee will not
suffice. They must lie on the ground.
In most situations, it is considered a rule of
etiquette to not hit someone who is on a knee
as they are "down. So a player may not take
a knee when faking death.
However, there is also a safety rule of
etiquette where a player can take a knee but
that is ONLY when combat is happening right
next to them or on top of them. Once it
moves past them or away from them and
they are faking, they must fall over at that
point.
2.24.3 Locks
In AfterMath we allow player to use locks.
Locks are an Engineering production item
(you must have the blueprint). Players may
only use AfterMath approved locks which
must be easily pickable by a member of the
plot staff, these are typically simple luggage
locks. Each lock is considered a red tag item,
you must have lockpicking to open/close a
lock unless you have the key. Locks are
considered in game items, and must be
purchased or made with production.

As stated previously Vitality is based on Brawn +
Essence divided by 2, rounded down.
3.2.1 Essence Usage
Essence use has different requirements than
other attributes. By spending a point of your
Essence attribute you must spend 5 minutes
to role-play a ritual that is thematically
correct for your character. Examples would
be: a character who is a Fixer tinkering
around in their shop for the five minutes, a
Martial Artist who goes through a Kata, a
Gunslinger breaking down and cleaning his
gun, and/or anything creative you can come
up with. After this ritual is completed all
effects on the character, positive or negative
and unless stated otherwise, will be removed.
This time does count as resting time. After
the ritual, all Attributes, with the exception of
Essence and Vitality, are refreshed back to
full. The ritual can be interrupted by you
choosing to stop, taking damage, or if any
adverse condition should affect you. If this
occurs, you do not refresh your attributes and
may start again. Note that the ritual can be
modified depending on the situation, but the
base of the ritual should remain the same.
Example: A character that chooses cooking as
their ritual might carry a bowl with them and
use the bowl to make sugar water by adding
water and then stirring in sugar for the 5
minutes. They could not choose to stretch for
5 minutes instead of cook.
3.4 Character
Races
Within AfterMath there are several different
character races. Each has their own flavor,
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
likes, and dislikes. Though there is a great
amount of diversity in these races all players
should attempt to role-play them correctly.
Each race has a culture that directs them, it is
extremely rare for there to be an Ashuran
who likes combat, a Kesamalani who is a
coward, or an Old Blood who truly loves an
Unclean. As such it can and probably will be
dangerous to break those broad stereotypes.
Doing so will breed disenchantment from
others who follow the racial packet and try to
expand on the racial culture. If you would
like to be adaptable and have less restrictive
rules placed on your characters role-play, you
should play a New Blood since these are the
most diverse. They represent the majority of
the denizens in Astoria. All other races have
a strong culture and as such it is very difficult
to play something outside the norm.
Luckily each race is pretty diverse within its
role-playing guidelines. There are mean
Ashurans, nice Old Bloods, friendly
Kesamalani, and even likable Unclean. But
at their heart each follows their races
guidelines. If you have any questions then
make sure to talk to the Directing Staff before
you play.
Page 56 of 208
Races of Astoria:
3.4.1 Ashurans
The most respected race on the face of Kallante,
they are loved and welcomed almost everywhere.
Their entire culture is founded on the virtues of
Compassion and Humility. They see themselves as
servants to all other intelligent life, to teach them
the Two Virtues by example. They offer their
considerable healing abilities to anyone that needs
them. Most people consider it very bad luck to
harm an Ashuran, let alone slay one. The
Kesamalani wont harm them, but they despise
their pacifist way of life. The Unclean do their best
to avoid them, because otherwise the Ashurans
compulsively try to cure them. This is often a long
and painful and always profitless process. They are
pacifists, avoiding combat whenever they can.
When forced to fight they will use non-lethal
means. Their pacifism only extends to intelligent
beings. They are free to fight against animals and
constructs. If in doubt, they will always err on the
side of caution.
Ashurans can be identified by the patterns of
gems that naturally grow in their foreheads.
There is always one large one in the center, and
then anywhere between six and twelve across the
rest of the forehead. Patterns among family
members are often very similar, both in position
and color. Black is the only color never seen. The
center gem, is called the Shudai-amnith or Minds
Eye. This gem reveals the primary trait or focus of
that person. The known color matches are: Green
is Honesty, Blue is Hope, Yellow is Empathy, Red is
Courage, Purple is Justice, Orange is Happiness,
White is Calmness, Clear/Silver is Compassion, and
Gold is Humility. Gold is the rarest, and is called by
many the Genkuret Kish or Servants Crown.
Robes in solid colors are the common mode of
dress for both male and female alike. They usually
are belted with enough pouches for their healing
gear. If jewelry is worn, it will be simple in fashion.
The Ashurans regard both sexes as completely
equal in all regards. They have no known
settlements of their own and live among all the
other races. In most settlements there can be
found a Sanctuary built and run by the Ashurans.
There they practice healing and young Ashurans
learn of the Two Virtues. It will be run by an
Amnakoi which means Guide. These elder
Ashurans watch over the younger ones and offer
guidance and support. They also have a great
council spread out across Kallante, whose
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
members collect information on healing methods
and share their progress in the Great Work of
bringing peace to all Kallante.
Racial Requirements: A gem in the center of the
forehead, sometimes surrounded by two to six
more. Black may not be used.
Racial Abilities:
Advantages
0 CP Born to Heal- May take Doctor and Priest
Focus for 1 less CP
0/3 CP Stabilize The first rank of this
advantage is free and allows the Ashuran to
stabilize the target, with only 3 seconds of role
play, three times per Essence refresh. For three
CP it is an unlimited amount of these stabilizes.
1/2/3 CP Hands of the Healer For each
purchase of this advantage the Ashuran gains 5
Heal by Will that they can use in any increment.
These points of healing are reset with each use of
Essence to refresh.
Example: Travis the Ashuran has bought all three
ranks of this advantage. He can heal any
increment up to 15 by stating Heal X by will
Once he is out of healing and uses his Essence to
refresh the rest of his attributes, his healing is also
restored.
3 CP- Cleansing the Body- Cure Disease by Will-
1 Brawn
3 CP- Healing the Sick- Cure Poison by Will- 1
Brawn
5 CP- Sacrifice During the death count of a
target, the Ashuran may start a ritual that imbues
both parties with the spirit trait immediately. From
the time that the Ashuran and the target become
spirits there is a Ritual that the Ashuran must
perform that lasts at least a minute. At the end of
that time Both spirits then head to Deaths Gate
and the Ashuran has the opportunity to try to
convince the Gambler to spare the spirit and allow
them both to pass through Deaths Gate
unharmed. The Gambler does not always agree
and has been known to punish those who abuse
this ability.
Disadvantages
Focus of the Healer- Cost an additional 2 CP for
all weapon skills (including Small Weapons)
Fragile- -1 Vitality

system and most have no contact with other races.
A few decades back, the six rulers of the Great
Hives decided there was a need for greater contact
with the other races of the world. They engineered
a special breed of drone, giving them almost full
autonomy and set them to act as eyes, ears and
public relations in the world outside the Hives.
They are required to report back every year or so
to relate their experiences. Some say it is a
preparation for an attempt to rule the world, but
many have benefited from trading with the Hives
and see it as an attempt to adapt to their
surroundings. It is clear that they are originally
from another world than this one. When asked
they always refer to themselves as the Children or
the Child of Ektur. Whether this is a high queen of
their race, their home world or a Power is
unknown. The Hives export minerals and metals
dug from beneath the earth, a very powerful
alcoholic beverage called Yalakan (commonly
called Bug Juice) and very strong fabrics of
unknown origin. They are also known as the
greatest of crafters.
The Caste system is as follows; Mnemarchs (Hive
Queens), Autarchs (General/Consorts), Hajtur
(Handmaidens), Turgri (Craft masters), Ebektur
(Agent/Adventurers), Durankaj (soldiers), Pangri
(Craft workers), and lastly the Panturj, the
common laborers. Even though the Ebektur do not
generally reside in the hive they still retain much
of the Ektur beliefs. They have no use for non
productive members of their society. An Ektur who
is disabled or not otherwise able to contribute is
destroyed. Ektur do not understand beggars, or
thieves, or anyone who does not produce
something tangible for a living. Even the soldier
castes of the Ektur have secondary work in one of
the Crafts.
Only the Ebektur are commonly seen outside of
Hive lands.
Costume Requirements: Red Makeup with black
polygonal designs on all exposed skin.

Racial Abilities:
Advantages
0 CP- Craftsmen: -1 CP to all production skills
1/1/1/2 CP Exoskeleton - Natural Armor-
All Children of Ektur start with one point of armor
for free. Up to 5 points of armor may be bought.
Armor refits with 1 minute of Role-play. The
armor may be refit even when drained or moving.
Due to the Exoskeleton Children of Ektur may not
wear armor of any type, nor can they gain armor
of any type other than their Exoskeleton, including
Grant effects. This armor does not go away when
hit with a simple drain. However, a Drain Armor
effect will still affect them.
2 CP Secrete Poison - Apply to Weapon or
Claw with 10 seconds of role-play-Agony by
Poison. This may also be thrown as a packet.
Cost: 1 of any stat.
Disadvantages
Hive Separation - All negative effects with the
Will Trait are doubled
Example: if they are hit with a 3 Damage and Stun
by Will and it affects the Child of Ektur, they would
take 6 points of damage and Double Stun instead
of just 3 damage and one Stun. If this effect was
stopped by a Shield and did not actually affect the
Ektur, this would not yet be doubled. This effect
would take two resists for an Ektur to negate or
one shield.
One Mind Alone- All Stun effects act as if they
had a Double Effect on them unless two Children
of Ektur are within sight of each other.- (Example
if they are hit with a Stun by Force, it affects the
Children of Ektur as if it was a Double Stun by
Force, taking two defenses to block)

Nothreik as a spirit the Guardian must travel
directly to the Nothreik to receive the Curse. The
curse causes an irresistible instant death and turns
the Guardian into a Spirit of the Dead. At the

One of the strangest races of Kallante, the Jinxies
are mistrusted by many people due to their odd
behavior and detached world view. They are
commonly believed to be a spontaneous creation
of pure magic. Even the Jinxies themselves do not
know how they come to be, as they are spawned

obsession with becoming famous through some

very extreme indeed, causing them to take insane

become skilled social sycophants, at least for short
periods of time. They have a fascination with the
way other mortals interact with each other, and
sometimes will pretend to similar emotions and
desires, just to see where it goes. Ultimately their
lack of emotional depth betrays them, ending their
illusion.

3.4.7 Leshka
The forests keep many secrets, and among those
secrets are the Leshka. The Leshka are a group of
people that are primitive in respect to most other
races. They prefer to spend their time in the forest
rather than in the confines of a city. Cities are
generally avoided because the people that build
them have to clear the land, and that is
unnecessary destruction of plant life. The Leshka
hold plant life very dearly, sometimes above their
own lives. They are said to be born of the
Awakened Forests of Kallante. Some believe that
the Leshka are forest spirits made flesh to punish
those that destroy the forests. Whatever the
origin of these green haired forest champions, they
all believe that the forests and plant life are more
important than technology. Technology is
destructive and in its creation, plants are
destroyed, therefore, they will tend to avoid it as
much as possible.
There are many tribes of the Leshka known as
Phylum's. Sometimes they work together to
destroy a particularly dangerous enemy, but
mostly they travel apart. Members of the Phylum
generally stay in or near their specific forests.
Leshka will always go out of their way to greet
fellow Leshka when traveling abroad, and will
always offer one another aid. The leaders of the
Leshka are the oldest and wisest in the Phylum.
They are secretive and elusive and almost never
leave the deep forest. As said before they are
more interested in the preservation of the forest
than the preservation of other races. They do not
mind other races; however, there is one race in
particular that they dont care particularly about,
the Soulless, for they are nothing but technology.
worked into the hair. Keep it in mind that should
you choose the second option, there should be
enough leaves and such in your hair to denote that
you are Leshka. A player may change slightly the
coloration of hair during seasonal changes, but it is
not required.

The quickest way to upset a Leshka, no matter

what race you are, is to set fires throughout the
forests, or destroy plant life with no reasoning
behind it. The Leshka are not overly fanatical.
They do recognize if someone is using a fire for
warmth and food cooking. They dont mind so
much if someone is in the forest and uses dead fall
for fuel of such, but if chemicals are used or viable
plant life is destroyed, or the fire is just let go,
then the Leshka step in and that person steps out.
The Leshka, tending to keep to the shadowed
forests, most often wear clothing in the shades of
greens, browns, or blues. They can wear other
colors, but this is their preferred style of dress.
Leather is also an appropriate clothing choice.

Racial Requirements: Green lines around the eyes,

Even indentured Old Bloods are treated better than

works to ensure the continuance of important
bloodlines without incurring the effects of
inbreeding.

3.4.13 Soulless (Mechs, Warborn,
Tool)
The Soulless are another manufactured race. They
were created during the war against magic by the
Old Blood. Each was programmed with several
core commands known as the Five Great Edicts.
These are irreversible and must be followed at all
times. They are apart of the core makeup of the
race and all Soulless follow these without question.
Unless otherwise noted even an owner can not
force a Soulless to break one of the Edicts.
One- Let there be no harm to the True Race-
They may never harm by action or inaction an Old
Blood nor may they allow harm to come to an Old
Blood.
Two- Serve- They must follow all commands
given to them by an Old Blood unless those

owner.
Three- Speak only the truth- They may never lie
to an Old Blood even when ordered to.
Four- Only the True Race can be the Master-
They may not follow the commands of any non-Old
Blood. An owner can order a Soulless to follow
orders of a non-old blood but the order is reset
every 24 hours.
Five- Follow the Orders of your Master- They
must always follow the orders of their owner at all
times. They follow the letter of the order and
typically do not try to twist those orders. A Willpower + Essence. ORC is able to install several

property. If a non-old blood had a Soulless they
would view it as a stolen property. Even though
they are seen in such a way, Soulless mimic life in
almost all ways (unless ordered not too). They are
created to follow there purpose. Though most
were made for war, some were created as House
servants. Soulless tend to be programmed to be
respectful to Old Bloods at all times and view them
all as there master. Any Soulless that acted in a
different way may be flagged as defective as such

expensive and they are too highly coveted to allow

Type: Attribute Skill
Stat 2 Willpower
Description: This skill has two functions, one is
bringing new people into the Priests religion and
the second is to help those of the faith and
invigorate them. The first part is to bring new
people into the religion by granting them the
Priests Power trait (Genshi, Ar-el, Tormen). This
is done by taking the person into a private area
and doing at least 5 minutes of roleplay. At the
end the roleplay, if the Priest feels that the
individual is truly dedicated to the Power they will
be given the Powers Trait, to do this the Priest will
touch the individual and say Permanent Imbue
<Power> by Faith. Note that each of the Powers
traits are unique, you can not have more then one
of them (unless plot specifically directed). So a
follower of Ar-el can not have the Genshi trait as
well the Ar-el trait. Also if someone gains a Powers
traits but does something to dishonor that power,
its possible the Priest who granted the traitcould
receive curses from their Power A priest should be
mindful of this before making followers.
The second ability will let the Priest take 1 min of
role-play talking to a person in private. Though
this is called confession your role-play is up to you.

Santino The Chimp
Cost: 1 CP
Purchase: Once
Prerequisite: None
Type: Weapon
Description: This skill allows the purchaser to use
any approved thrown weapon in combat. A thrown
weapon may not be used to block in melee
combat. Construction of thrown weapons will be
approved on a case by case basis. All designs
must be submitted to staff at least one week
before usage, and must include a working
prototype. This policy is due to the fact that
thrown weapons can come in many different
shapes and sizes. The most important guideline in
weapon creation is safety. If a thrown weapon
could be thrown in a dangerous way, more than
likely it will not pass inspection. The following are
some guidelines that should be followed:
1. There should be no sharp edges.
2. The weapon should be made totally out
of padded foam.
3. On aerodynamic weapons (javelins,
large darts, spears) a thrusting tip should be used
to add extra protection.
4. The weapon should not be able to knock
someone back when thrown.
Other than that everyone is free to come
up with his or her own designs, and we shall look
forward to seeing your creative ideas.

cardboard) then it only has to be visible when its
being used/invoked.
Only those who have the Magic trait are able
to use a Rune. However, some runes allow a user
to receive an effect from an item which has a Rune
is placed upon it.
Example: A magic user places a Rune of the Wolf
on a bottle. Although only a magic user can invoke
the rune, anyone can drink from the bottle and
receive the effect of the rune (unless stating
otherwise by the effect card).
To Invoke a Rune the rune user must state a ten
syllable incant that incorporates the name of the
rune. Most runes have some sort of backlash; this
takes effect (unless otherwise stated) at the time
the rune is invoked.

Venom
3.7.5
Production
Venoms are an assassins best friend. They can be
used to deliver powerful blows in a single strike.
Most of the venoms will not stack with other skills
unless it is specifically notated on the effect card.
Venoms are typically used on weapons but there
are some that can be placed on various other
things. If venom is used on a specific item for an
effect then the effect card must be visible,
although it is okay if the effect is hidden until
someone takes the effect. Anyone with the
Venom skill is able to read the effect card prior to
interacting with the venom. As such, if the effect
is hidden then Venom should be written on the
outside of the envelope to indicate that someone
with the skill can examine the area and know
what is going to happen.
If the Venom uses a cloth as a physrep, to use the
venom you must wipe cloth on the item gaining
the venom. Unless specified there shouldnt be
anything left on the item.

accomplished. The assassin merely needs to
prepare the area for the poison and, once done,
wait for their prey. The poison is spread out over
an area of 16 cubic feet and the area takes on a
green hue. Only those who know how to work with
venom are able to clear the area out without
feeling the effects of the noxious gas."
Effect: Area Effecting Poison- Agony by Poison
Phys Rep: Green Cloth is placed over a 4 foot by
4 foot area. Anyone that touches the cloth

effect. Only those with the Venom skill are able to
place this Venom in a specific area. The skill
Remove Venom is required to remove the green
cloth.

3.7.5 Labs
Each type of production requires a specific lab
to use. There are various types of labs, each
is required for production.
All labs have the following requirements.
1) Must be set up in the Workshop
designated by plot, usually called the
Forge. In this Workshop there will be a
communal production box that all
components should be deposited into
per the production rules.
2) All labs must have the correct
decoration to function. These
decorations should all be centered
around a single actual physical
representation of the lab itself such as
an anvil or microscope. Each lab must
have an obvious key slot and must
have the appropriate key rep. Each
slot allowed in the lab requires an
additional key. A Master Key must be
obviously different then the others.
The person who has the Master Key is
considered the owner of the lab.
3) Labs themselves are considered red
tagged, the key is considered Green
Tagged. You must have a key to use
a lab, should the key be stolen the lab
is inaccessible till a new key is
purchased. Each slot represents an
additional Slot Key. Only the person
with the Master Key may move the lab
or change the overall locks (secret skill
used to change Slot Key locks).
Should the Master Key be stolen the
lab itself can be stolen. If this is done
the props that are part of the lab are
considered environmental props and
should be returned to Plot so they can
be returned to the owner after the
Page 115 of 208
 event. The new owner is required to
provide their own props for the lab.
4) Each lab (other then a level 1 lab) has
its own maintenance that must be paid
by the owner (the person with the
Master Key) at the beginning of the
event. This maintenance can be
shared by any number of individuals
but only to owner with the Master Key
can pay the maintenance during check
in.
5) To gain access to a Lab Slot Key the
owner must grant them the key and
designate, in writing, in the lab
somewhere who has access. This can
not be changed during the event
unless the person possessing the Lab
Slot Key permanently dies or a secret
skill is used to reissue Lab Slot Keys.
Only the Master Key Owner is allowed
to assign Lab Slot Keys to people.
6) If maintenance is not paid, the lab is
not usable for that event by anyone.
This should be indicated by the lab not
being set up in the Workshop. If it is
not paid for three events (that the
Owner arrived and PCed at) in a row
the lab falls apart and is unusable. The
spirit of the rule is, if you do not pay
for your lab for three events in a row
that you play at it falls apart.
Types of Lab
There is a lab for different types of
production. Each type should have its own
props to signify that type of lab. Also the
higher level lab the more props should be
present. All props should help promote
atmosphere and should be based around the
type of lab. Below is some examples of
props, they are not considered required but
will help give an idea of what is expected. Any
player who sees the lab should be able to
easily discern the type of lab it is.
A person can only have one lab of a specific
type at a time. For instance you can have a
Machine Shop and a Primitive Cell, but you
are unable to have two Primitive Cells.
Engineering- various tools and gadgets used
to create technical items
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
Pharmaceuticals- vials, bottles, and various
mixing items, blue and yellow liquids.
Venoms- vials, bottles, and various mixing
items, green liquids.
Runes- rocks and cutting tools
Masks of War- paints, brushes, and mixing
items.
Labs are broken into three types, each type
creates specific production items. Its possible
there are other lab types out there, but these
are the common ones.
Chemistry Lab- Pharmaceutical or Venom
Machine Shop- Engineering
Primitive Cell- Runes and Mask of War
Special Mods
Each type of lab has a special mod that is
common to all labs of that type. When you
purchase a lab you gain the special mod
without having to spend mod points (see
below). To use the special mod you must
have the specific prop available to symbolize
that youre able to make these items.
Recharge Bullets and Repair
Firearm/Armor/Weapons (Machine Shop)- -
This special mod will allow a person with the
appropriate skill to recharge their bullet. The
more levels of Engineering the faster it will be
done. Engineering 3 allows for 10 seconds
each bullet, Engineering 4 is 5 second, and
Engineering 3 allows for 3 seconds. - To
Charge Bullet you must have props with some
sort of bullet press.
Convert Magic (Primitive Cell) - This lab
allows for magic components to be converted
into any other level equivalent component up
to level three \component. This lab is also
allows a magic component to be broken down
into three of the lower level components for
the cost of one amp per level of the original
(for example downgrading a level three magic
to three level two magic cost three amps).
Note these components must be used in a
current production.
Recharge Med kit (Chemistry Lab) - This lab
allows a med kit to be recharged as long as
the doctor has E.M.T. Procedures. It takes
one minute per level of the med kit
Page 116 of 208
recharged. For every level of
pharmaceuticals this time is reduced by 1
minute to a minimum of 1 minute. IE if you
have a level 5 med kit it takes 5 minutes to
refresh, but if you have 4 levels of
pharmaceuticals you can recharge it in only 2
minutes. To recharge Med kit you must have
props similar to gauze and medical supplies.
Levels
The different labs allow for different number
of Mods. Each mod has a set number of Mod
Points that it takes. Once the Lab is full it can
no long receive any more Mods. Mods can be
removed with the proper skill (secret skill).
MP= Mod Points
Level 1- 5 MP- 0 Amps Maintenance Buy
30 AMPs
Level 2- 10 MP- 5 Amps Maintenance Buy
40 AMPs
Level 3- 15 MP- 10 Amps Maintenance Buy
50 AMPs
Level 4- 20 MP- 15 Amps Maintenance Buy
60 AMPs
Level 5- 25 MP- 20 Amps Maintenance Buy
70 AMPs
Abilities
Speed Increase- 1 MP per Increase - One of
the main things that can be achieved is
production users are able to hasten their
ability to make items. This allows a
production item to be created one minute
faster up to instantaneously.
Convert Type 2 MP per Type of Component
From and Type of Component To- This option
allows a production user to convert a specific
component level 1 component to a different
type on a 2 for 1 basis. For instance a two
level 1 tech components can be converted to
a level 1 mineral if you have Convert Type
Tech to Mineral. Note that these must be
used during current production.
Upgrade Component Level 1- 2 MP per time
bought - This allows a production user to
convert 3 components of level 1 to create a
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
level23 component instead of providing their
own. This can be done up to the number of
convert points a lab has. Note that these
must be used during current production.
Upgrade Component Level 2- 3 MP per time
bought- This allows a production user to
convert 3 components of level 2 to create a
level 3 component instead of providing their
own. This can be done up to the number of
convert points a lab has. Note that these
must be used during current production.
Replace- 4 MP per time bought per type- This
will allow a production user to replace certain
level 1 components, using other components
more efficiently. This can be used along with
the Search Skill to make a production item
effectively free (Search Skill is not required if
the item only takes a single component to
make). Note that these must be used during
current production.
Build Item - 1 MP per Level (up to 5) per
Production Type- This will allow a production
user build a higher level item. You must have
this at level 5 to build a level 5 production
item. Note, to build a single level 1 item, you
must take at least one level of Build Item.
Research- 5 MP per type- There are labs
specifically created to research new
blueprints and recipes per the Research
procedures. Note you can only add a
Research Mod to the appropriate lab type
(Engineering Research on a Engineering type,
Pharmaceutical Research on a
Pharmaceutical. You can not research
Venoms with a Pharmaceutical Research
Mod).
Slot Key- 1 MP per time bought- Each mod
can only hold a certain number of production
makers at a time. A slot is filled for the
whole event is determined when maintenance
is paid. To use a lab the production user
must have a key. The key is linked to a
specific person for the whole event, it can not
be transferred except at the beginning of the
event. For example you CAN NOT give a
single key to two different people during the
same event. Once you have a key you are
the only one who can use it to make
Page 117 of 208
production. Note that all labs will allow the
Master Key to work, so adding these mods
will give additional Slot Keys.
There may be additional modifications
outside this list, those will be secret and
can be granted/bought separately. They
will still follow the same rules above in
how to apply.
There are labs specifically created to research
new blueprints and recipes. In order to do
that someone with the research skill must
expect three times the amount of components
it takes the make the item. Then they get a
bead draw to potentially create an item using
the following system.
Researching an item happens in three stages.

1) Initially drafting the proposal.

Examples 2) Building a prototype.
Level 5 Machine Shop Lab 3) Completing the Research.

- 25 Mod Points To initially draft a proposal, the researcher

goes to his Lab. Writes up the production
item he wants to be able to create, his

5 Levels of Engineering- (5)
components he thinks it should cost. All
4 Speed Increase (4) information should be included, including
2 Replace Mineral (4) possible weaknesses and side effects. 15
Convert Tech to Mineral (2) AMPs are then placed in a baggie with the
6 Slots- (6) purposed blueprint/recipe to cover the cost of
resources.

effects / rules will change.

Example 4 The Prototype Blueprint allows for the

successfully. The protype blueprint is used in
20 Slots (20) the blueprint and the researcher must start
over if they fail. In order to have a chance to
create the item two times the component cost
to create the item must be spent. This will
Research allow a single bead draw.

AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft. Page 118 of 208

.
Additional components and skills can be used
to allow additional chances.

A) Every additional full component

cost that is spent allows for a
second bead pull.
B) Every 25 AMPs added in grants
an additional success per bead
draw.
C) The level of production helps by
giving additional success beads,
for instance making a second
level item when the researcher
has level five of that production
would give three additional
beads. The opposite is also in
effect, making a fifth level
research item when you only
have three levels of that
production removes two
success beads.

This bead draw is done at check in.

Once this bead draw is successful the

researcher will receive the recipe/blueprint
and is able to go to the workshop and create
a single item. The components will be
represented as the Prototype Blueprint.
After that the recipe is in game and able to be
used.

3.8 Magic
Magic lives and breaths in Astoria, it flows with us,
through us, and is apart of us. No one really knows
where it comes from or what created it. Some say
that it is a part of nature, some say it is made up
of our living energy, yet other believe it is
energized by the beings known only as the Powers.
Even with all these different views one thing is for
certain, magic is apart of Astoria whether good or
evil all of its inhabitants will be confronted by its
awesome force at one time or another.
GAINING MAGIC
Certain focuses give you access to certain schools
of spells. Each focus has a specific skill that grants
access to the specific school of magic. When that
skill is taken the person now has the ability to
learn new spells within this spell group. Other then
character creation all these spells need a teacher
to teach the specifics of the spell.
Spells must be purchased in a pyramid or column
shape. The top cannot grow larger than the
bottom, except when you have four spells of the
immediate lower level, you may purchase as many
of the upper level as you want. For example you
can have 4 first circle spells and 5 second circle
spells. You cannot have 4 first circle spells, 3
second circle spells, and 4 third circle spells.
Sorcerers and Psionics are the exceptions to these
rules. Psionics may be bought in any order.
Sorcerer has purchase restrictions on Force and
Radiation but not on the other spell types. You
may only buy as many of Force spells as you have
total of Air and Water spells. You may only buy as
many Radiation spells as you have total of Earth
and Fire spells.
TRAITS
When the first spell is learned in a specific school
of magic the person learning the school gains a
new trait that will stay with the person as long as
that spell is known. The specific trait you gain
depends on the school of magic, please see 2.9.
USING MAGIC
Magic is a power that is hard to control. Only
through a tremendous amount of concentration are
its forces able to be manipulated. Both hands must
be empty and both arms must be free to move to
cast any spell. While certain skills might allow you
to hold a weapon in your off hand while casting,
the hand and arm delivering the spell must be
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
free. You cannot invoke spells while you are being
struck by an attack which damages your body. If
the spell caster has Armor (Dex, Magical, or
Physical) when the damage first hits them it will
not interrupt the spell casters magic. You cannot
deliver spells with an arm that cannot use game
skills. You must be able to speak to cast a spell
unless you may cast that spell without an incant
(such as Psionics). Furthermore, spells which are
delivered by packet have all of the restrictions of
that attack form.
INCANTS
Casting a spell requires you to recite a short
phrase, called an incant, before calling out the
verbal. Only after both are completed can you
throw the packet. The incant is an in game
phrase, and if an effect prevents you from
speaking you normally cannot cast a spell. If your
body is damaged (you have lose some of your
Vitality) or rendered unable to cast the spell during
the incant or the verbal, the spell is ruined. You do
not exhaust attributes (or the equivalent) if a spell
is interrupted. The only exception to this is the
Blood Mage who is required to take Vitality
damage during the casting of the spell. Even
Psionics and Medical Procedures are similar in this
aspect as they must also follow these rules though
they do not need Incants, ie must say the
complete effect (or complete the roleplay) without
taking any vitality damage.
Although mages create their own incants when
they learn a spell, they cannot simply make up
incants as they see fit. An incant must be
personalized. The incant should contain some
reference to the type of magic they are calling
upon (such as using Blood or a specific element for
the Sorcerer in the incant) of the spell and also
some form of the name. Priest typically have the
name of the Power that they follow somewhere in
the incant. The name does not have to be
incanted exactly, but the incant should indicate at
least part of the name. Pathwalkers must include
the name of their Spirit Guide in the Incant instead
of the type of spell. An incant must have a number
of syllables equal to twice the cost of the spell (or
level) plus 4 unless otherwise noted. If a spell
costs 2 character points, for example, the incant
length will be at least 8 syllables.
Incants must always be spoken in a clear enough
voice for those being effected by the spell to hear.
Incants that are only affecting the caster must be
spoken in a normal speaking voice unless the spell
Page 120 of 208
says otherwise. Typically you are not able to cast
spells under your breath.
Most imbued effects also have incants, this means
that a second incant is used when the effect is
thrown. This incant is usually much smaller and
usually requires only four syllables. Make sure to
read the long description of the spell to see its
specific requirements.
With Blood Mages they must have a ceremonial
dagger. Should this dagger get destroyed they will
have to use a different one or they will have to
wait till its repaired to cast a spell. They can not
use anything BUT a ceremonial dagger to cast their
spells, they can not use a sword or firearm, and
the Blood Mage must cut themselves and roleplay
the effect for it to take place.
All damage a blood mage does to themselves to
cast a spell goes direct to Vitality. Only Vitality
can be used to power a spell, not armor nor Grant
Protect effects. This will only work with original
vitality, a spell or effect that raises a character
vitality will not increase the amount that a Blood
Mage can use. Note when the effect is used the
Blood Mages max is lowered, as such Dex Armor
can still be used.
PACKETS
Packets are small bean bags which are thrown to
represent magical attacks or special powers. They
should be made of stretchable fabric and filled with
birdseed. You should use only small birdseed with
no larger or sharper seeds. A square of fabric is
pulled around the birdseed and its corners are
gathered together to form a "tail" and closed up
with strapping tape. You may also sew a packet
shut. Sealing the packet with rubber bands or
other types of tape will be allowed on a case by
case basis, and the packet should have give in any
case. Packets with any other material
inside will not be allowed.
The head of the packet should be between 1 and
1.5 inches in diameter, and the tail behind the tape
should not be longer than 3 inches. The fabric
cannot be pulled so tight that it no longer has give.
You should be able to squeeze the center of the
packet and almost touch your fingers together.
CASTING SPELLS
Each type of magic has its own flavor for casting
spells. Note that some spells specify different
actions but in general the flavor should be
followed as indicated below.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
Blood Mage- Cuts body parts doing Vitality
damage to power spells with their Ceremonial
Dagger. This should this dagger get
destroyed they will have to use a different
one or they will have to wait till its repaired
to cast a spell. They can not use anything
BUT a ceremonial dagger to cast their spells,
they can not use a sword or firearm, and the
Blood Mage must cut themselves and roleplay
the effect for it to take place.
All damage a blood mage does to themselves
to cast a spell goes direct to Vitality. Only
Vitality can be used to power a spell, not
armor nor Grant Protect effects. This will only
work with original vitality, a spell or effect
that raises a character vitality will not
increase the amount that a Blood Mage can
use. Note when the effect is used the Blood
Mages max is lowered, as such Dex Armor
can still be used.
Doctor- The med kit must be within arms
reach and the proper roleplay done each time
a Medical Procedure is used. This typically
involves props, see the Med Kit section of the
rulebook for more specific details.
Martial Artist- Must perform kata per
philosophy. This must be done before they
are able to initiate the Martial Arts effects.
Pathwalker- Invokes Nature with each spell.
They must always keep their Spirit Guide
visible.
Priest- Calls upon the name of their deific
Power. They must have a holy symbol of
their Power visible on them at all times.
Psionic- Must stand still for 3 seconds and
have feet planted to cast Psionics. No incant
is needed, but the full effect must be spoken
before the packet is thrown (per normal
incant rules).
Shifter- Must put on makeup or prosthetics
to become the animal. They must keep that
on to be able to access their Shifter abilities.
It must be obvious what type of animal they
are.
Sorcerer- Must include the elements name
in the incant.
Page 121 of 208
Warbringer- They must have their banner in
their hand when imbuing the spell. All imbue
cards need to be provided to insure that the
participants know how to use their effects.
These imbue cards are typically provided by
the Warbringer.

3.8.5 Paramedic Procedures
Med Kits
Med Kits are an essential part of a doctors ability
to treat illness. In AfterMath all Doctors use med
kits to power their skills/abilities. Doing this allows
Doctors to use the stats in their med kit instead of
their own, which would allow them to buy other
skills and use their personal stats for those (such
as combat skills). This is a great advantage but it
also has a big disadvantage to it. Doctors have to
do a great deal of role playing involving props and
refreshing their med kits takes components, which
can make it a costly job keeping people alive.
There are typically five types of med kits, level 1-
5. Each med kit has three stats, Field Dressing
(FD), Field Surgery (FS), and Field Medicine (FM).
Each level of Med Kit grants different levels of Med
Kits stats. They break down is listed at the end of
this section.
To use a med kit the doctor must have the Med Kit
within touching distance of the patient and
themselves. The Doctor must touch each person
during the role-play and the must involve medical-
type props while working on their patient this must
include the med kit they are pulling stats from in
some way (such as a place the supplies or
medicine is held).
To refresh a med kit, a doctor needs to have the
E.M.T. Procedures skill and have access to a
Chemistry Lab (having a Key). Within the Lab the
person refreshing the med kit must deposit either
a plant, mineral, or animal component to refresh
based on the size of the med kit, break down is
listed at the end of this section. A tag should be
filled out indicating the person refreshing and the
med kit size being refreshed. The tag and
components should be placed in a plastic baggie
and deposited in the Workshop Waste Bin. Note
you ARE able to use search skill extra components
to refresh these stats, you must indicate that this
is being used on the tag.
Note-
You HAVE to go to the Forge/Workshop to
refresh your med kit!
You can have more then one med kit on
you at a time, but you can not pull stats
for different ones for the same ability.
For instance if a med kit takes 3 FD to use,
and you have two level 1 med kits, each
with 2 FD, you will not be able to use that
ability. You need a larger med kit.
AfterMath LARP Rulebook- Draft.
.
Med Kits do not refresh each event. The
only way to refresh a Med Kit is to pay
components for it.
You must role play with medical looking
props to use the procedures. This can be
as elaborate as you want but it should be
obvious the Doctor is working on someone
medically. Props can be simple as a
bandage, the role play is the most
important.
You must have a physrep for every med kit
you have on you. You can not have two
tags used for the same med kit. Each
med kit must be the minimum size
representing the level. They break down is
listed at the end of this section.
When you refresh a med kit, it doesnt
matter if you have only one stat remaining
or all but one, you must expend all
components to refresh the kit.
Med Kit 1
Stats- 2 of each stat
Components to Refresh- 2 Components

3.8.11 Warbringer
Warbringers must have a banner in order
to use their powers. This banner must have the
Warbringers personal symbol on it. May not be a
higher power's symbol unless it has other designs
on it in addition to the holy symbol. May not cover
up the symbol and keep the powers active. The
banner must have lights attached to the weapon in
order to use the powers at night/in the dark. Glow
sticks on the non-striking surface will suffice. All
lights are subject to approval by safety. Plot will
control what colors are used to ensure no
Warbringer uses the same color. Although if the
players wish to work it out without plot
intervention, that would be best. Any
objections/disagreements will make plot intervene
and dictate colors.
When a Warbringer is no longer bringing
the war (Stunned, Paralyzed, Unconscious, etc.),
they must turn the banner upside down, turn off
the lights, or put the banner on the ground. When
any of the people who gain powers from that
Warbringer see the banner in any of these three
states, they may not use the Warbringer abilities.
The Warbringer is always assumed to be
included as a recipient of the spell but does not
actually count as one of the recipients for the
purposes of calculating who can get the buffs,
unless the spell specifies otherwise.
