I want to solidify expectations. Responses only from Kulai and Thor, thanks.

Are FoRKs assumed? Should they be described?

Are we allowing stances to be declared to start?

Can the Ref assume a certain stance based on good belief and instincts, etc?

How much have the current Ref's clarified aspects - such as FoRKs, etc.

Are Martial Arts assumed to be to a single skill or are named MA's separate skills?

Do we just assume they answered the questions appropriately for Steel?

I think that's it for now :)
Thanks.

FoRK's are not assumed. They must be mentioned in the script.

Characters are not allowed to enter the arena in stance, unless they have an appropriate instinct.

If I have a doubt, I will ask the player. However, with the inclusion of intents within the script, I've begun to assume more and more.

Martial Arts is a single skill, just like sword or lance. Do not let the "s" trick you. Martial Arts may be replaced by a Style, but you can't have both.

Yes, assume your players are honest and answered all questions appropriately.

So the instinct says that its the default instead of Nuetral? Is that the justification?

Yup. If the character desires, he can have an "Always enter combat in Aggressive stance Instinct." He then will always begin combat in Aggressive stance, for good or bad.

How are we handling Gold Greed and Dwarven resources for Arena characters?

We aren't! Easy right? Let's keep it that way and focus solely on combat mechanics. We'll assume the Dwarf already failed all his Greed tests and that's why he's attacking! "Gotta Have It!" :twisted:

Already "failed" as in "no dwarf has more than 50 resources?"
