Kingdom Of The Rising Winds - Online Corpora Test

Engaging in grappling with an opponent, shield bashing, and other forms of rough, dangerous, or offensive physical contact is strictly prohibited. Such actions can lead to being banned from play indefinitely. Therefore, the statement is true.

The statement is true because the handle of a weapon typically refers to the part of the weapon that is not padded and is meant to be held. It is the portion of the weapon that provides grip and control to the user.

The statement is true because the ends of all weapon cores must be blunted by capping them with foam and tape to prevent injuries during use. Additionally, stabbing weapons should have extra padding on the tip to further ensure safety. This practice is essential in activities such as combat sports or reenactments to minimize the risk of serious harm to participants.

The correct answer is "made of 3/8" metal links". This is because the given armor descriptions mention various materials and their thickness, but only the option "made of 3/8" metal links" matches the description of chain armor. Chain armor is typically made by connecting metal links together, and the thickness of these links is specified as 3/8".

The answer "inform a reeve who will deal with them appropriately" suggests that if a player consistently refuses to take their shots, the best course of action is to report the issue to a reeve. A reeve is a person in a position of authority who can handle the situation appropriately and take necessary actions to address the problem. This option implies that involving someone with the authority to enforce rules and regulations is the most effective way to handle the issue.

At close range, bows must be no more than half drawn in order to ensure safety and prevent the arrow from traveling too far or causing excessive damage. This is because a fully drawn bow has a greater amount of force and power, which can be dangerous in close quarters. By limiting the draw to half, the risk of accidents or injuries is reduced. Therefore, the statement "At close range (20 feet or less) bows must be no more than half drawn" is true.

The correct answer is "leather of at least 3/16" thickness." This means that heavy leather armor is made of leather that is at least 3/16" thick. The other options listed in the armor descriptions are not applicable to heavy leather armor.

A valid hit is any shot that makes contact and stops or deflects at an angle.

The correct answer is Druid Enchantments. The green strip indicates enchantments and magical effects specifically designed for druids.

Black Strips are used for killing effects such as Touch of Death, Poison Weapon, death fields, etc. This suggests that black strips have a specific purpose in combat situations where these killing effects are involved. They may provide protection or enhance the effectiveness of these effects, or they may be used as a visual indicator to signify the presence of these deadly abilities. Regardless, the use of black strips in relation to killing effects implies a connection between the two.

Gold Strips are used for Reeves and items that may not be touched or attacked. This means that gold strips are used to represent objects or areas in a game that cannot be interacted with physically, such as barriers, boundaries, or objects that are off-limits to players. They serve as a visual indicator for players to understand that these objects or areas are not to be touched or attacked.

Projectiles are typically used for long-range attacks, such as throwing or shooting objects. They are not designed for parrying, blocking, or melee combat. Additionally, the statement suggests that projectiles cannot be carried in any number, which is not true. Projectiles can be carried in various quantities depending on the individual's preference and the specific situation. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Hit location Torso – (Includes a person’s shoulders, groin, chest, back, and buttocks) instant death.

Hit Locations
Head and Neck – Will not count as a hit and is illegal. Deliberately parrying with your head or neck is prohibited.
Arm – The first hit to the arm will result in the loss of use of that limb–this is known as being wounded. A struck
arm must be kept behind your back. A second hit to the wounded arm will result in death. Hand shots count as a
hit to the arm unless you are holding a melee weapon or wielding a shield in that hand, in which case it counts as
hitting the weapon or shield. Wrists are considered part of the arm, not the hand.
Leg – A hit to a leg results in the loss of use of that leg–this is also known as being wounded. You must drop to one
knee as soon as is feasible and place the wounded knee on the ground. Any following hits to that leg will have no
effect (the only exceptions are magic balls and some siege weapons). Crawling, dragging oneself and being
carried are the only ways to move about with a wounded leg. You may make a short spring at an opponent with
your good leg; hopping on your good leg is not allowed.
Torso – (Includes a person’s shoulders, groin, chest, back, and buttocks) instant death.
Feet – Do not count

This statement is true because damage in this context refers to the harm or injury caused to the armor on the specific hit location that was targeted. It does not affect any other parts of the armor or the overall body. Therefore, the damage is limited to the specific area that was struck, and the rest of the armor remains unaffected.

The statement is true because it states that the maximum limit for a bow's pull is 35 pounds, indicating that the bow should not be pulled beyond this weight. Additionally, it mentions a maximum 28-inch draw length, which suggests that the bow should not be drawn beyond this length. Therefore, the statement is accurate in describing the limitations for a bow's pull.

This statement follows a logical rule of cause and effect. If a weapon in hand is hit by an arrow, it will be destroyed because the force and impact of the arrow can break or damage the weapon. Similarly, if a bow is hit by a weapon, it will also be destroyed because the weapon can cause damage to the bow, rendering it useless. Therefore, the statement is true.

A melee siege weapon is a powerful weapon that can cause significant damage and destruction. It is designed to be effective against both people and objects, regardless of the armor they may be wearing. When it strikes a target, it is capable of killing a person or destroying an object. This makes it a formidable weapon in a siege situation. Additionally, the fact that it counts as one hit against invulnerability suggests that it is able to bypass certain defenses or protections that may be in place. Therefore, the statement is true.

The statement is stating that all strips must meet certain requirements in order to be considered valid. These requirements include being at least two inches wide and eighteen inches in length, as well as being clearly visible on the person or object they are applied to. The answer "True" indicates that this statement is correct and all strips must indeed meet these requirements to be considered valid.

The correct answer for this question is Wizard Enchantments. Class strips are used for enchantments and magical effects, and the yellow strip specifically indicates Wizard Enchantments.

The statement "All arrows must be covered on the outside by duct tape" is false. This means that it is not necessary for all arrows to be covered on the outside by duct tape.

A strike-legal weapon is one that meets specific criteria in order to minimize harm to the opponent. It must not leave any marks, bruises, or broken bones when used to hit the opponent. Additionally, it must have a minimum cross section of 2.5 inches from edge to edge and should not protrude more than 1.5 inches through any 2.5 inch ring. Lastly, the weapon must not end in an angle less than 90 degrees. Therefore, the statement "Strike-legal: This refers to a portion of the weapon that will not leave marks, bruises, or broken bones when used to hit your opponent and has at least a 2.5 inch cross section from edge to edge and must not protrude more than 1.5 inches through any 2.5 inch ring, nor end in an angle less than 90 degrees" is true.

A hinged weapon is designed with a single articulating head, allowing it to rotate or move in a specific way. This means that the weapon can be adjusted or repositioned to target different areas or angles. Therefore, the given statement is true.

The correct answer is "leather of at least 1/16" thickness." This is because the given armor descriptions state that light leather armor is made of various materials such as cloth sewn together, padding in between two layers of cloth, or metal links. However, the only description that specifically mentions leather is the one that states it should be of at least 1/16" thickness. Therefore, this is the correct answer based on the given information.

Any two shots to the limbs (except two shots to the same leg) results in death. Example: You are struck in
the arm. The arm must then be placed behind your back and is useless. You are then struck again in any
limb, including the one behind your back, and die.

Amtgard is a not-for-profit, free, non-sectarian group dedicated to the
recreation of medieval and fantasy genres.

The correct answer is Bard Enchantments. The question states that class strips are for enchantments and magical effects, and the LIGHT BLUE strip indicates Bard Enchantments. Therefore, the LIGHT BLUE strip is specifically associated with enchantments for bards.

A polearm is a type of weapon that is at least 60 inches in length and can include spears as well as slashing edges. It is required to have a minimum of 1 foot in length for a striking edge and must also have padding on the upper 1/3 of its length. Therefore, the statement "A POLEARM is at least 60 inches in length. Includes spears but may also have slashing edges. Must have padding on upper 1/3 of length." is true.

The statement is true because the Monarch, Champion, and Guildmaster of Reeves rate armor. This implies that these individuals have the authority or expertise to assess and evaluate the quality or effectiveness of armor.

The statement correctly explains that a spear is a piercing-only weapon that must be at least 60 inches in length. It also mentions that a spear should have padding on the upper 1/3 of its length. Additionally, it clarifies that a spear should not be confused with a javelin, which is a weapon that can be thrown. Therefore, the statement is true.

The statement is true because it states that players may not wield more than one weapon in a single hand, which means they cannot hold two weapons simultaneously in one hand. However, it also mentions that firing multiple arrows simultaneously is an exception to this rule. This means that although players cannot hold multiple weapons in one hand, they are allowed to shoot multiple arrows at once.

Red Strips are used for Red Weapons and Beserking Barbarians. This means that when a player wields a red weapon or plays as a berserking barbarian, they would use red strips. Red strips are typically used to represent powerful or dangerous abilities or effects in a game. Therefore, it can be inferred that red strips are used to indicate the presence or activation of these abilities or effects for red weapons and berserking barbarians.

Orange Strips are used for non-magical flame effects such as Flame Arrows and Lava. This means that when using Orange Strips, they enhance or create flame-related effects that are not magical in nature. These strips may be used to simulate the appearance of flames on arrows or to create the illusion of flowing lava. They are not used for killing effects, red weapons, beserking barbarians, Reeves, or items that cannot be touched or attacked.

The white strip indicates Healer Enchantments. This means that the class strips are used to represent different types of enchantments and magical effects, and the white strip specifically represents healer enchantments.

The statement is true because it accurately describes the rules for REACH weapons. According to the given information, REACH weapons can be slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning weapons that are between 48 and 60 inches in length. The pommel and handle of the weapon cannot exceed 1/3 of the total length. Additionally, if the weapon is used to slash or bludgeon, at least 2/3 of its length must be Strike-legal.

The statement is stating that a large shield is no larger than eight square feet, specifically mentioning a 38.3 inch diameter. This means that the size of a large shield is limited and cannot exceed these dimensions. Therefore, the statement is true.

Companies
People may wish to band together as a fighting group. This group is called a company. The company should choose a
name, captain, second in command and device. A person may be in no more than one company.

The statement suggests that a staff is considered hardened. However, this is not true. A staff refers to a group of people working in an organization, and the term "hardened" does not apply to them. "Hardened" typically refers to something that has been made stronger or tougher, such as hardened steel or a hardened criminal. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

When a shot is able to knock aside a parry and still hit the target, it means that the shot successfully overcame the defensive move of the opponent and made contact with the target. Therefore, it can be concluded that shots that knock aside a parry and strike the target are indeed hits.

Armor
Armor Construction
The Monarch, Champion and Guildmaster of Reeves rate armor. Damage that exceeds the remaining armor value
(i.e. arrows, Berserk Barbarian weapons, Great Weapons, etc.) wounds or kills the target. Armor that is mixed
(multiple types of armor covering the same body area) will be averaged. Armor may not be stacked or layered to
increase or add value unless explicitly stated here. Armor worn under tabards or garb must be partially visible, and
must be announced if asked. Armor should weigh close to actual historical standards to receive full value. Straps and
other such material that hold your armor on do not count as part of the armor, for either coverage or averaging
purposes, unless they are specifically built as such. Example: the leather strap across your back holding on your steel
breastplate does not protect you from hits.
All armor must be safe, with no protruding edges that could injure someone. Armor values may never be rated at
more than 6 points. The standard baseline for metal armor is steel. Armor is rated as the material that it most
resembles, thus plastic and other non-metallic armors can never be disguised nor passed off as plate or chain mail.

The statement is false because it states that any non-explosive, non-chemical weapon that might have been in existence before 1988 AD is allowed. However, this is not true as there are international agreements and laws that regulate the use and possession of weapons, regardless of their nature or the time they were created. These agreements aim to promote peace, security, and prevent the proliferation of weapons. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.

Siege weapons do not require at least five people to operate. This statement is incorrect. The number of people required to operate a siege weapon can vary depending on the type and size of the weapon. Some smaller siege weapons may only require a few people to operate, while larger ones may require more. Therefore, the statement is false.

Process for updating these rules
Changes to this document may only be made by a 75% vote of the Circle of Monarchs. All votes must be issued in
person or sent to the rules organizer via registered mail. The rulebook is generally reviewed during the months of
June and July.

A MADU is a shield joined to a polearm, which means that it is a combination of a shield and a polearm weapon. This suggests that the statement is true and accurately describes what a MADU is.
