Combat in Valhalla is Player Versus Player (PVP)-focused but non-lethal, by default. Don’t forget to see a safety marshal to get an Authorization!
Combat between vikings is viewed IG as a perfectly acceptable way to settle disputes. Fights virtually never end in death, and putting another viking in the Downed state is a good way to get them out of your hair for at least five minutes.
THAT BEING SAID: please review theRoleplaying Guide section on PVP before engaging another player in boffer combat, and likewise be sure to review the Safety Guide.
