[quote=@Gendarme] By Combat RP, I mean combat in general. Be it in a Fantasy Sandbox, a Nation RP, or...Well, anything, really. Is there any proper way of going about it? Do you have any tips? The reason I'm asking this is because I'm rather inexperienced with the concept when it doesn't involve a d20 or something along those lines. I want to make sure to respect the story while the combat goes on, while also showing respect to the storytellers themselves. [/quote] Each combatant plots out the fight together; either in an OOC thread or PMs. Combat RP, like any other kind of RP, is collaborative writing. Give and take. Pretty sure I've lost just as many as I've won over the years. The key is realizing a win, a loss, or a draw will all affect your characters and the plot. Hence the very reason for combat RP; conflict, enriching the overall scene and story. Elsewise, the Arena is for you.
