<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Stub}}<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Boffer&#039;&#039;&#039; is a technique to simulate combat using padded weapons. The technique is common in larps set in fantasy or historical settings. <br /> ==Pros==<br /> It allows players to play out combat in a directly simulated way, actually hitting each other in real-time as opposed to techniques that either doesn&#039;t allow physical contact or has to be resolved outside of the fictions time or space. Visually, at least from a distance, the weapons appear very similar to the real thing, thus not disturbing players who value a high level of immersion and/or simulation.<br /> ==Cons==<br /> Boffer weapons look far from the real thing up close and they weigh very little, making handling them very far from handling real melee weapons.<br /> [[Category:Simulation of Violence]]</div>
