How does combat work at DrachenFest?

Last Update 8 months ago

DrachenFest uses a “light touch” combat system. Weapon hits should never hurt—just tap hard enough for your opponent to feel the hit and react. We encourage theatrical fighting: big, visible swings and dramatic reactions to wounds, spells, and heroic moments.


You can only take a few hits before your character goes down. Armor makes a big difference, giving you extra protection in battle.


Healing is slow. You won’t bounce back instantly from injuries—potions take time to digest, and magic or surgery takes a few minutes to work. This gives fights real weight, and makes recovery a meaningful part of the story.
