Add a new rule entitled “Fighting” with the following text:

Each Monk has a Temporary Fitness, tracked in parentheses after eir Fitness.  Temporary Fitness may be negative.  If such a number does not exist, it is assumed to be equal (but not equivalent) to Fitness.

Any Monk may Pick a Fight with another Monk who is within 2 Moves of the first Monk’s Location.  When e does this, e picks a single Severity number(S) from the set [0(Fruit),1(Fists),2(Sticks and Stones),4(Knives),8(Broadswords),16(Wands of Death)].  E then performs a Fight consisting of 3 Rounds.

In each Round, the Monk who Picked the Fight rolls DICEF, where F is eir Temporary Fitness.  If this is less than a quarter of eir opponent’s Temporary Fitness, subtract DICES from eir opponent’s Temporary Fitness.  E then rolls DICEG, where G is eir opponant’s Temporary Fitness.  If this is less than a quarter of eir own Temporary Fitness, subtract DICES from eir Temporary Fitness. 

Being involved in a fight causes a loss of Integrity equal to 3*S for whoever starts it and 1*S for the other Monk.  This may make eir Integrity negative.

At the end of the Fight, if either Monk has a Temporary Fitness of 0 or less, e is moved to C-4M in the Infirmary.  Then, if either Monk has an Integrity of 0 or less, e is moved to the Detention Cell at A-12e.  Monks in the Detention Cell may not Fight.

If a rule entitled “Monk’s Code” exists and containes the text

No Monk may be involved in a fight with another Monk. (costs 4 for whoever starts it and 1 for the other one)

delete that text.

We should also have a mechanism for healing.  Ideas welcome.
