Game system In development NPC behaviour

Armed guard

Trained, equipped defenders who fight with real weapons and shields. They do not attack on sight; they defend themselves, each other and their post.

Overview

An armed guard is trained and equipped: it fights with a real sword and shield, using the same fighting system as players.

A guard does not start fights on sight. It engages when:

  • it is attacked;
  • it sees a fellow guard attacked;
  • it hears a fellow guard raise the alarm.

Guards hold their post rather than chasing endlessly. They are steady and persistent, but not fearless.
