-====== Rules FAQs ====== 
  
-===== Combat ===== 
- 
-=== Can a character kill themselves? === 
- 
-It is possible for a character to kill themselves, via delivering a LETHAL call to one of their own unprotected locations (a character can choose to be Unresisting to their own attacks if they wish). This will start their Death Count, during which it is still possible for other characters to save them. 
- 
-=== Can I hear Calls In-Character?​ === 
- 
-No. As described on the [[Calls & Effects]] page, Game Calls are out-of-character. They are not audible, and are only noticeable via their effects in-game - someone falling over, etc. Calls that come from an attack will be fairly obvious as to their source, but calls from special powers or psionics less so. Characters who are familiar with psionic powers might be able to spot the signs of them being used, such as a character being at the epicentre of a bunch of other characters suddenly succumbing to anger, or a character staring intently at another for about 30 seconds, but these are in-character inferences rather than reacting to an out-of-character Call. 
- 
-===== Psionics ===== 
- 
-=== If I have a psionic suggestion that triggers on being Mesmerized, can it break the Mesmerize? === 
- 
-Suggestions and similar effects are roleplay effects, which alter how your roleplay your character somewhat. [[calls_effects#​MESMERIZE]] is a Game Call, which has specific rules that you must respond to in a specific way. Calls take precedence over other effects. So if you have a Triggered Suggestion to do a pirouette when you are Mesmerized, you would not respond to it until the Mesmerize broke. 
- 
-===== Events ===== 
- 
-=== Can I leave the boundaries of the site In-character?​ === 
- 
-You cannot cross the OOC site boundary In-Character. Event sites are shielded against entry and exit a short distance from the OOC site boundary. The only way to leave the IC area In-character is via a [[Gateway]],​ Elysian [[Nexus Tree]] portal or similar. 
- 
-=== Do we need a full crew to pilot a hired starship? === 
- 
-While you don't need a full crew of 5/6, it certainly makes things easier. The standard hire starship from the [[Spacer Collective]] will have 5 stations - Helm, Weapons, Engineering,​ Science and Relay (plus the Captain). You can still embark on missions with fewer crew, but it will be more difficult to switch between them and get everything done. As a minimum, you will probably need someone on Helm and someone on Engineering to get about, but actually finding things and shooting things will be much harder. Remember that anyone can use every station to a basic level - the [[Professional Skills#​spaceflight skills]] just grant bonuses to your ship. 
- 
-However, you don't have to fill a ship crew entirely from your own group. You can ask for help from other characters, and some might be willing to hire their skills out to help you - maybe for a flat fee, maybe for a cut of the profits.
