V9:Offensive / Non-Offensive

Developer Note: The current V9 Rules can be found here.

The V9 Wiki is currently obsolete. The Project Phoenix Google Doc is the main source of V9 rules going forward.
We will eventually rebuild the wiki as a comprehensive rules reference, but now is not that time.

Thank you for your interest in the project! Join the Discord for more information!

Offensive / Non-Offensive

Each ability type is either offensive or non-offensive, with the exception of Verbals, which can be either.

1. Non-Offensive abilities can be refused by their targets even if the ability is successfully cast. A refused ability has no effect but is still expended.
2. Offensive abilities cannot be refused and will always impart their effects if cast successfully.

Below is a quick summary of each type for reference:

Offensive Ability Types

• Power Strikes
• Specialty Arrows
• Spellballs
• Verbals labelled as 'Verbal (Offensive)'

Non-Offensive Ability Types

• Enchantments
• Meta-Magic
• Traits
• Verbals labelled as 'Verbal (Non-Offensive)'
