Characters with certain skills or devices may be able to Diagnose the Condition to get more information and possibly the cure. See the [[Conditions]] page for more information. |
| - | Lammie Conditions will usually indicated the skills required to diagnose on the tear-open side - if someone with the correct skill does a diagnosis, then they may tear open the lammie to diagnose the cure. Once the cure has been determined and administered, please hand the lammie (and any resources used in the cure) over to a referee. Lammie conditions can be mostly self-refereed. | + | |

| - | Condition Sheets are more complex, and can be more difficult to cure, have a progression of symptoms over several events, and may require a number of skills or specialised equipment to diagnose. If someone has all of the correct skills required to diagnose, you may show them the Condition Sheet - this should have an ID number which they can reference at Games Ops to give them more information about the condition and its possible progression and cures. | + | |

| - | If you wish to capture another character then they must be unresisting for the entirety of the time that you are attempting to make the capture - in most cases this will mean they are unconscious. If a character is not able to participate in combat because they are non-combat, or need to drop OOC for a first-aid incident or emergency then you require a referee if you wish to capture them. We would prefer that you get a referee before attempting to capture any character, but acknowledge that this is not always possible. You may roleplay securing the character with ropes, manacles or similar, but these must be OOC removable by the character. You should not phys-rep any method of restraint unless the player to be restrained is comfortable with it. | + | If you wish to capture another character then they must be unresisting for the entirety of the time that you are attempting to make the capture - in most cases this will mean they are **Unconscious** or **Badly Injured**.
