Modification to PvP Consent

[Snowmane]

I still believe this rule is a slippery slope. What if someone shows up already wearing armor? A fighter wearing armor is no different than a caster walking around with stoneskin or the like. For some reason when a caster walks around prepared, it's considered hostile. But when a martial character walks around prepared it's considered normal.

It's down to RP from there to deescalate the situation (if required).

The point of that rule is there is no requirement to RP. The rule states you can go straight to killing with no warning or communication IC or OOC.

Anyway, just my 2 coppers. I'll shut up now.

Surely that's already covered by the "Buffing" or preparing for battle.

That they've done the buffing elsewhere is irrelevant, they've still prepared for battle and arrived kitted out for hostility. It's down to RP from there to deescalate the situation (if required).

-"Buffing" or preparing for battle is considered a hostile action. Should a possible opponent begin buffing, you may immediately flag them hostile and begin PvP, bypassing any need for making them aware of impending attacks.

What about opponents who show up buffed?
