Sample Combat
JesterOC:
To me, it is the same as using magic to push someone off or a cliff or into traffic, according to the book, that still counts. You are holding someone in place with magic to kill them. A warden's sword does not count as a magic kill, but at the same time they don't hold them down with magic either (perhaps they do, I have not read all the books).
At the same time you can inflict a zone wide grapple to do about the same thing, but you just declare that they fall unconscious instead of die.
vonpenguin:
They don't use magic to hold them down no. I would rule that it doesn't break the first law though. Pushing someone off a cliff is entirly you. Holding someone in place while a friend shoots them is the friends choice not yours. Otherwise Luccio would violate the first law several thousand times over (She uses magic to make the swords that do the killing).
And remember the first law is a might fuzzy on the subject of kneeecaps.
JesterOC:
Ok sounds good to me. I concede the point. Good arguments by all. thanks.
Bubba Amon Hotep:
Nice post Eberg. It will help people new to fate see a combat.
Steed:
Not only was this a good example of combat from a mechanics approach, it was also exciting and fun to read on break at work. Kudos!
