WHILE ARMOR IS NOT REQUIRE BY ANY CLASS,RACE OR PROFESSION, IT CAN GIVE YOU THAT NEEDED EDGE IN BATTLE.FOLLOWING ARE THE RULES FOR ARMOR.THE DIFFERENT ARMOR TYPES AND REQUIREMENTS NEEDED TO BE CONSIDERED ARMOR. LIGHT ARMOR: LIGHT ARMOR CAN BE ANYTHING THAT A SURVIVOR MAY BE ABLE TO FIND IN EVERYDAY LIFE. THIS CAN BE LICENSE PLATES,SCRAP METAL OR OLD TIRES. LIGHT ARMOR PROVIDES YOU WITH THE BENEFIT OF BEING ABLE TO BE SHOT ONE TIME BEFORE TAKING A WOUND. MEDIUM ARMOR: MEDIUM ARMOR IS WHAT MOST SURVIVORS WOULD THINK THAT ARMOR IS. PLATE CARRIERS WITH PLATES INSERTED(THIS CAN BE REAL OR PROP PLATES). “SWAT” GEAR IS ALSO AN ACCEPTABLE MEDIUM ARMOR.MEDIUM ARMOR ALLOWS THE SURVIVOR TO BE SHOT TWICE BEFORE TAKING A WOUND. HEAVY ARMOR: HEAVY ARMOR IS MEANT TO BE CUMBERSOME AND SLOW THE SURVIVOR DOWN WHILE PROVIDING MAXIMUM PROTECTION. THIS ARMOR SHOULD REMIND SURVIVORS OF FUTURISTIC ARMOR. COVERING THE SURVIVOR FROM HEAD TO TOE COMPLETELY. THIS ARMOR IS ESSENTIALLY IMPENETRABLE. iT WILL HOWEVER BE COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY A GR***DE OR OTHER EXPLOSIVE DEVICE. Armor Combat Rules:
EACH ARMOR HAS ITS OWN POINT VALUE AND IT’S THE SURVIVORS RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP TRACK OF THEIR ARMOR POINTS. ARMOR ONLY PROTECTS WHAT IT’S ACTUALLY COVERING. MEANING THAT A PB ONLY PROTECTS WHERE THE PLATES ARE SITTING AND SO ON. ARMOR MAY BE REPAIRED BY A SURVIVOR WITH THE CORRECT PROFESSION. ARMOR TYPES ARE RESTRICTED BY CLASS. BE SURE TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WHEN LOOKING TO MAKE OR PURCHASE ARMOR AND PICKING A SURVIVOR CLASS. ALL ARMOR MUST HAVE ROUNDED OR COVERED EDGES. THIS MAKES THE EDGES OF THE ARMOR SAFE.IF A PLAYER CAN’T BUMP INTO YOU OR EVEN ACCIDENTLY FALL AGAINST OR ON YOU AND NOT SCRATCH OR CUT THEMSELVES, YOUR ARMOR IS NOT SAFE. ALL ARMOR WILL BE CHECKED FOR SAFETY AND BE ASSIGNED POINTS BY A GAME ADMINISTRATOR PRIOR TO THE GAME STARTING. THIS INCLUDES PREVIOUSLY RATED ARMOR. ALL PLAYERS USING ARMOR WILL BE GIVEN AN “ARMOR CARD”. THIS CARD IS FOR OTHER ADMINISTRATORS TO VERIFY THAT THE ARMOR HAS BEEN RATED AND WHAT IT WAS RATED AT AND THAT IT HAS BEEN SAFETY APPROVED. IT'S ALSO TO HELP RESOLVE POTENTIAL DISPUTES WITH OTHER PLAYERS CONCERNING ARMOR VALUE. ANY PLAYER FOUND TO BE BENDING THE ARMOR POINT RULES WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO CONTINUE TO USE ARMOR FOR A TIME TO BE DETERMINED BY AN ADMINISTRATOR. CLASSES
A SURVIVOR MUST PICK A CLASS TO PLAY. EACH CLASS HAS ITS OWN GUIDELINES AND RESTRICTIONS AS WELL AS BENEFITS.CONSIDER YOUR DESIRED PLAY STYLE WHEN PICKING A CLASS. RAIDER

A RAIDER IS A BASIC FOOT SOLDIER.TOUGH AND GRITTY, THEY NEVER STOP FORGING FORWARD. THEY ARE THE BACKBONE OF EVERY CLAN. RENEGADE
WEAPON:RIFLE,LMG
ARMOR: MEDIUM OR HEAVY
A RENEGADE IS THE SINGLE MOST DESTRUCTIVE TANK IN THE BATTLE. THEY HAVE A HIGHER ARMOR VALUE AND ARE THE ONLY CLASS WITH THE ABILITY TO USE A WEAPON IN FULL AUTO. ONE GOOD RENEGADE CAN CHANGE THE TIDE OF A BATTLE ALMOST INSTANTLY. RECLUSE
WEAPON:SNIPER,DMR

THESE PEOPLE GROUPS COME FROM ALL ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS AND NATIONALITIES BUT ALL HAVE SOMETHING THAT LINKS THEM TOGETHER.THESE RACES HAVE SPREAD ACROSS THE LAND AND COEXIST NOW.THEY LIVE FIGHT AND WORK TOGETHER. CONSIDER YOUR RACE SELECTION CAREFULLY TO OPTIMIZE YOUR PLAYING EXPERIENCE. GASSER
GASSERS ARE PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T LEAVE THE LOWLANDS.THEY ARE RESILIENT AND RESOURCEFUL PEOPLE.GASSERS ARE TYPICALLY LIGHT FIGHTERS AND MOVE QUICKLY. THEY USUALLY RELY ON NUMBERS OR TACTICS TO WIN FIGHTS. BENEFIT: GASSERS GET A BONUS TO AMMO. THEY MAY CARRY A LOW CAPACITY MAGAZINE IN ADDITION TO THE MID CAPACITY MAGAZINE ALLOWED.IN THE EVENT THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A LOW CAPACITY MAGAZINE A MID CAPACITY MAGAZINE HALF FULL MAY BE USED. CON: GASSERS MAY NOT PLAY RECLUSE AND ARE RESTRICTED TO MEDIUM ARMOR WHEN PLAYING RENEGADE. ECHO
ECHO ARE A CIVILIZED PARAMILITARY RACE OF PEOPLE. ALL ECHO ARE TRAINED IN COMBAT AND VERY WELL VERSED IN ALL ASPECTS.THEY ARE LEARY OF GASSERS BUT BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE A USE IF THE TIME AND PLACE ARE RIGHT. BENEFIT: ECHO CAN PLAY ANY CLASS
CON:ECHO CAN NOT TAKE THE MEDIC PROFESSION. TALON
TALON TOOK TO THE CAVES AND HILLS WHEN THE WORLD FELL. THEY LEARNED TO SURVIVE ON THE LAND AND WHAT WAS LEFT IN NATURE. THEY DIDN’T INTERACT WITH OTHER RACES FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND ARE STILL RATHER WITHDRAWN. BENEFIT:TALON GAIN THE ABILITY TO WEAR LIGHT ARMOR WHILE PLAYING RECLUSE. CON: TALON CAN NOT TAKE THE POWDER HOUND PROFESSION. GAMEPLAY
THIS SECTION WILL COVER GENERAL GAMEPLAY.SOMETHINGS MAY BE REPEATED FROM OTHER SECTIONS. THE GAMEPLAY SECTION IS DESIGNED TO GIVE ALL PLAYERS AN OVERVIEW OF HOW THE GAME IS DESIGNED TO RUN AND HOW DIFFERENT THINGS WILL FUNCTION TOGETHER. SURVIVOR
EACH PLAYER HAS TWO SURVIVOR SLOTS.IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT CREATE A SURVIVOR FOR BOTH SLOTS AT THE SAME TIME.BY WAITING TO CREATE YOUR SECOND SURVIVOR YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEE HOW THE GAME PLAYS AND WHAT YOUR CLAN MIGHT NEED.WHEN A PLAYER SIGNS IN FOR AN EVENT, THEY ALSO SELECT WHAT SURVIVOR THEY ARE PLAYING AND ARE NOT PERMITTED THE CHANGE TO THEIR OTHER SURVIVOR DURING THAT EVENT UNLESS THEY DIE.ADDITIONAL SURVIVOR SLOTS CAN BE PURCHASED AT ANY EVENT.THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW SINCE ONCE YOUR SURVIVOR IS IN FACT DEAD, THEY NO LONGER EXIST IN THE GAME.IF A PLAYER HAS LOST BOTH OF THEIR SURVIVORS THEY WILL BE GRANTED AN ADDITIONAL SLOT BUT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE A PROFESSION UNTIL THE SECOND GAME THEY HAVE PLAYED THAT SURVIVOR. MEDIC
ONLY PLAYERS THAT HAVE TAKEN THE “BUSH DOC” PROFESSION CAN MEDIC A PLAYER. PLAYERS HAVE NO MEDIC LIMIT MEANING, A PLAYER MAY BE PATCHED UP UNLIMITED TIMES.A SURVIVOR HAS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF BEING WOUNDED. IF THEY ARE LEFT WITHOUT MEDICAL ATTENTION AT THE 5 MINUTE MARK THEY ARE DEAD.REMEMBER THIS WHEN GOING INTO SITUATIONS, IF A SURVIVOR DIES THAT SPECIFIC SURVIVOR IS GONE.SOMETIMES DIPLOMACY IS A BETTER ROUTE THAN BATTLE. SOMETIMES BATTLE IS THE ONLY ANSWER.I BET YOU’RE WONDERING HOW ONE DOES A MEDIC FIX YOU UP. IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE, DOC MAKES PHYSICAL CONTACT, COUNTS OUT LOUD TO 10 SECONDS AND YOU’RE GOOD TO GO. MEDICS REMEMBER,YOU ONLY HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OR TIMES YOU CAN SAVE SOMEONE. KEEP TRACK BECAUSE IF YOU BREAK THOSE RULES YOU’LL HAVE PROFESSION RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON YOU OR WORSE. CLANS
SURVIVORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CREATE CLANS. A PLAYER,REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY SURVIVORS THEY HAVE, CAN ONLY BE IN ONE CLAN. CLANS MUST HAVE NAMES, A SYMBOL/DEVICE AND STANDARDIZED COLORS. THESE MUST BE DISPLAYED OR REPRESENTED IN SOME WAY. CLANS GIVE YOU NUMBERS AND SOME BENEFITS AFFECT ONLY YOUR CLAN MEMBERS.THERE MAY ALSO BE CHANGES DOWN THE ROAD THAT MAKE CLANS EVEN MORE OF A FACTOR. CLANS SHOULD BE LIKE FAMILIES AND SOMETHING THAT YOU’RE PROUD OF AND DEFEND. REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN YOUR CLAN ARE LEFT TO YOU.RADIUM STAFF HAS NO SAY SO OVER WHAT STANDARDS YOU SET. SCHEDULE AND FLOW
THE GOAL IS FOR RADIUM TO HAVE AN EVENT EITHER QUARTERLY OR SEMI ANNUALLY.RADIUM STAFF WILL WRITE SHORT MISSIONS AND QUEST FOR PLAYER AND CLANS BUT THE PLAYERS WILL WRITE THE GAME AS IT'S PLAYED. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO IMMERSE YOURSELF INTO THE GAME AND HAVE FUN WITH IT.GAMES WILL START PROMPTLY BUT WITH THE OPEN WORLD CONCEPT AND FREE RANGE FOR THE PLAYERS THERE WILL BE A VERY LOOSE SCHEDULE. IF ENOUGH INTEREST IS GENERATED AND ENOUGH PLAYERS REGISTER THEN RADIUM EVENTS MAY BECOME OVERNIGHT MULTI DAY EVENTS. GOAL
THE GOAL OF THE RADIUM STAFF IS TO PROVIDE PLAYERS WITH A FUN EXCITING GAME.THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE WITH PLAYER INVOLVEMENT.WE PROMISE TO DO OUR BEST AND HOPE THAT THE PLAYERS WILL SUPPORT THE GAME AND HELP DRIVE ATTENDANCE.THERE IS NO END TO RADIUM AND IT WILL BECOME WHATEVER THE PLAYERS PUSH IT TO. WE HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY PLAYING.
