+**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:
+  * To dodge, rather than touching the ground with one knee and one hand, at your discretion you may instead call "DODGE".
+  * After dodging, if your appropriate cooldown action requires you to take five steps, at your discretion you may instead wait 3 seconds before being able to dodge again.
+  * To parry, rather than dropping a melee weapon, at your discretion you may instead call "PARRY".
+  * After parrying, if your appropriate cooldown action requires you to regain your dropped weapon, at your discretion you may instead wait 3 seconds before making a melee attack or parrying again.
