Stone Skin

From BelegarthWiki

Stone Skin or Stoneskin is an ability given to certain fighters during certain scenario battles, depending on the scenario. There are two types of stoneskin, sectional and non-sectional, and the type used varies by scenario.

  • Sectional stoneskin: One point of sectional stoneskin allows the player to ignore the first hit to each section of their body. Effectively, they are wearing armor on every part of their body. Thus, the player may be hit once in each target area without suffering any damage or limb-loss. Sectional stoneskin also works like armor in the sense that red hits and double-green hits remove two points of sectional stoneskin
  • Non-sectional stoneskin: One point of non-sectional stoneskin allows the player to ignore the first hit they receive anywhere on their body. A single point of non-sectional stoneskin may be used to ignore red and double-green hits, and thus does not work like armor.

A fighter may be given multiple points of stoneskin. Unless specified by the herald, multiple points of stoneskin are assumed to be non-sectional. When a fighter with stoneskin takes a hit, they must call out "Stoneskin!" to indicate that they have been hit, and have lost one of their points of stoneskin. If asked, a fighter with stoneskin must tell other fighters how many points they have remaining, and of what type.
