Bows, Crossbows, and Certification Unlike many LARPS, Fractured allows the use of real bows and arrows in combat. However, due to the limitations of these items, as well as an increased safety risk if they are used improperly, we require every player that uses a bow to undergo a mandatory safety training [...]
Here are the guidelines and dimensions for acceptable boffer weapons. Note that we reserve the right to accept or reject weapons for safety and/or aesthetic reasons.

Some skills such as craft also grant abilities (Master’s Eye) that have similar effects. In order to use any of these abilities in such a way, the involved character [...]
Although Fractureds has a great many abilities and spell mechanics, most of them are “internal” and need not be learned by every player. However, there are quite a few taglines that players will run into, and knowing the rules behind them—even in a “quick and dirty” way—will make the game run more smoothly. Attacks and [...]
