-This pattern is a still a stub.
+While [[:Category:Live Action Roleplaying Games|Live Action Roleplaying Games]] make players enact their characters' actions, not all action are feasible to enact due to physical, social or moral issues. [[Substitute Actions]] is a solution to this where problematic actions are replaced by other actions which have similarities to the problematic ones but are acceptable to use.

-For example, Ars Armandi replaces sex by representing it through touching somebody only on their hands, arms, shoulders, and upper back (for a description of this technique, see Stark<ref name="Stark"/>. 2012, p. 220).
 === Examples ===
-[[:Category:Live Action Roleplaying Games|Live Action Roleplaying Games]]
+As a pattern pertaining to [[:Category:Live Action Roleplaying Games|Live Action Roleplaying Games]] and especially the ''Nordic Larp'' style, example of [[Substitute Actions]] are found in these games. Ars Armandi is one example, a rule system which replaces sex by representing it through touching somebody only on their hands, arms, shoulders, and upper back (for a description of this technique, see Stark<ref name="Stark"/>). Another, more common, example is that of using padded or foam weapons to substitute real combat with ''boffer''<ref name="boffer"/><ref name="bofferwiki"/> combat.
