I will add to these as I recieve more questions!
FAQS:
Q:Why do the Jousts not have an initiative roll?
A: During Gryphon early on we discovered that it works out better without an initiative roll, unlike normal combat RP. In a real Joust as in our Jousts both riders move simultaneously and in RP this is far better mimicked by dispensing with the init roll and just going.
Q:Why are there height requirements for the Joust this year?
A: To preserve the feel of realism for the RP of the Joust we felt that it was better to keep in mind both height and target mass. This was not done to discriminate against women jousters or dwarves, both of which meet the height requirements! It is to prevent extremes and unfair advantages and disadvantages. We are sorry if you feel that this bars your character from participating in our Circuit, but there are other things that you may do to participate if you cannot ride. The current requirements are a height of no less than 4'5" and no more than 9' even.
Q:Why are there age requirements for the Joust this year?
A: While this is RP and not real life, we are seeking to preserve a realistic feel for the Joust. If you are an adult by your race standard then you will be allowed to Joust.
