Note on Accessibility
The above rules are intended to create a style of fighting in which movement is dynamic and cinematic, and the need for OOC combat calls is minimised. However, we recognise that this style adds an extra level of inaccessibility to an area of the game (ie, combat) that is already inherently inaccessible for some. Therefore, while the dynamic style described above is encouraged when possible, any combatant may also substitute the following actions at any time:
