introduction
Reset uses a simple element and number system for fights. Overall any combat is freeform, with the numbers influencing how you would write the fight out. We trust you to take into account level differences, fighting styles and any status ailments.
tl;dr skill level - monster level = how difficult the fight should be
Unless stated, you are safe to assume a spawned monster is free to be controlled by any member and does not have a required post number! You may also request a staff member controls a normal monster anyway.
You are not allowed to say the monster or Monster Gate dropped an item. You are not allowed to say a monster was tamed.
Each monster will have a level, an element, a short description of how the encounter started, and a link to the Bestiary Entry. Some may have extra notes such as being able to poison a character or healing other monsters. In the case of a Monster Gate, Miniboss or a Boss, you will always receive a post minimum for defeating the monster(s).

a note on hit points (hp)
Reset currently does not have an OOC HP system. We are trusting members to appropriately deal with in character fatigue, injuries, and general wear and tear. Some characters will be better at dealing with pain, others will faint at a tiny woolie headbutt - everyone is different!
magic and weapon types
tl;dr be aware of the IC differences between weapons and magic types
Each weapon has no innate OOC difference on their own, that is dependent on what you have crafted and what the character’s levels are! It is mainly the IC way you write the fighting that sets each weapon type apart. Be sure you keep track of your weapon skill levels too!
Magic on the other hand has more OOC and IC differences. See the Magic thread for more information.
Fire and Water do extra damage to the other
Earth and Wind do extra damage to the other
Light and Dark do extra damage to the other
Love does not do extra damage against other magic but will resist all other magic types starting at level 40
For example, if a character uses a water spell on a fire monster, they gain an extra +5 levels for that matchup! But if they used that same water spell on a water element monsters, they would take a -5 penalty to their level!

| Matchup | Level Change |
| Element is effective | +5 |
| Element is the same | -5 |
| Element is unrelated | No change |
For example, if a character uses a water spell on a fire monster, they gain an extra +5 levels for that matchup! But if they used that same water spell on a water element monsters, they would take a -5 penalty to their level!
