==Player vs. Player Combat (PvP)==
Some of the deadliest monsters are human—other players who seek the challenge of defeating like-minded players in combat. This is called Player vs. Player combat (usually abbreviated PvP). Shroud of the Avatar has an active PvP community and development continues on creative ways to maim and wound your friends.

In general, the Oracle protects players from being attacked by other players, but there are several situations where players can forgo this protection and engage in combat with other players. The methods to engage in PvP are described below.

You can remove The Oracle's protection from you at any time, by speaking to her about protection in any Oracle Confirmatory.

:''You may have already heard of the Prophecy about the arrival of Otherworlders such as yourself. Due to the potential impact in the world that they represent, I have provided you all some semblance of protection, which blocks you from attacking one another until your fates are known. However, if you are brave if not foolhardy, I can remove those protections. Just ask me to remove protection if you desire that I do this.''<ref>[[The Oracle]]</ref>

While your character is in PvP mode, players you can attack (and be attacked by) will have yellow names. Party members will have green names.

Helpful Tips:
*Jumping consumes Focus but attempting to jump has a chance (20%) to break stun and root effects.
*Receiving damage also has a chance to break being rooted or mesmerized. (But not stunned)
*Attacks from behind an Avatar will do slightly more damage.<ref>[https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/playerinstructions Player Instructions]</ref>
