Section D-1:  Transformation Rules

What is a forceful Transformation?

A forceful transformation is when a Player is forcefully transformed into a different morphology.

A Human being forcefully transformed into a Super Mutant is a good example of a forceful transformation.

Rules of Transformation:

- A player cannot be forcefully transformed unless the inflictors have a PK Reason on the victim

- A non-human transformation can only be undone via in-game mechanics; no roleplay clause

[  EX: A human being transformed into a Super Mutant must use the Purity Chamber to return to their human form. There is no other route.  ]

- You cannot self PK to convert yourself back into your original morphology

-  "Ghoulification" is not considered a forceful transformation & therefor can be performed by any faction with the in-game ability to do so

[  REASON: A ghoul is still a human. Ghoulism can be cured via the Purity Chamber  ]

- "Ghoulifying" or forcefully transforming someone is a valid PK reason against all who aided or witnessed the event in any way

Section E: Roll Bonuses

What is rolling?
A "/roll" is the action of deciding whether or not someone completes a physical action

Example
Player A: /me cuts off the branches of a tree using his machete
Player A: /roll "Player A has rolled a 47"

Player A has failed to cut off the branches as he didn't roll over 50
 

Certain perks will give you bonuses to certain tasks/types of roleplay, for instance, in the previous example, if Player A had the scrapper perk, they'd get a +5 to their roll, making it a 52, which goes beyond the 50 passing boundary.
