NOTE: Yes, I know that it's very, VERY unlikely that someone will catch a dart you fire at them, this is more or less just a topic I want some opinions on.

So, let's say that you fire a dart at someone in a war and they, by some miracle of the gods, manage to catch it before it hits them. Since it touched their hand, does it count as a tag? Or since they stopped the dart by grabbing it, does that count as a block?

What about if the dart would have missed but they catch it? Does that change anything?

Let me know what you think about this situation.

It would count as a tag. You would have to implement a specific rule to cover this case if you wanted to count it as being blocked (same with shields in general).

Rules for my club is if you alter or stop the travel of a projectile, that's a tag. Catch it, it stick in a pocket, it hits your blaster, it pops your retina out of place because you refuse to wear eyepro, those are all tags.

 

If you want something to not count as a tag (EG, manta rays or other shields, catching darts, blaster hits aren't tags, megas bust shields, etc) then just put it in your rules so people know to bring the right gear and play accordingly.

it is not by some miracle of the gods it is. By some Herculean leap in logic that us meer mortals can't even HOPE to comprehend
