• A call is a word or phrase you say out loud to indicate something has happened.
• The effects and categories of calls are described below.
• Sometimes people will call a number after an effect call. This overrides the standard duration of that call.
• For example, a BREAK is normally 10s. BREAK 5 is a BREAK call, but it only lasts 5 seconds.

• Whenever you hit somebody successfully with a weapon, this does one point of damage.
• You do not need to call anything, but may call SINGLE if you think they have not noticed or may miss the blow.
• Other damage calls, like ZERO, DOUBLE, TRIPLE, QUAD, QUINT or DEC, exist.
• These do 0,2,3,4,5 and 10 points of damage respectively.

• Weapons, bucklers and shields block damage, but not effect calls.
• A hand holding a weapon counts as that weapon for purposes of taking calls.
• The head is not a valid target for attacks and, as such, all calls which target the head can be ignored.
