-The list of commands in the chat window now expands to show /duel and /forfeit when the player types a /

-A message should display in the top left corner of the screen stating that the duel has begun
-While dueling, you cannot see their group tag or health bar while grouped with the player you are dueling

-While in a duel, you have a status icon that indicates you’re dueling
-While in a duel, your health bar, injury, and bleed show up for non-grouped members at a distance of 75 meters or closer, along with an icon that indicates you are in a duel
-If another player is damaged by either of the dueling players, the duel will cancel due to interference. The damage will still be dealt to the interfering player
-If another player attacks either of the dueling players, the duel will cancel due to interference. The damage will be dealt to the dueling player immediately after their health is swapped back to its pre-duel value
-Hitting players with non-damaging attacks such as Acro’s intimidating roar will not cancel the duel
-When a duel ends, it should announce the results to all net-relevant players
-When a duel begins, it should announce the duel has begun to all net-relevant players
-If you take damage from external sources such as comfort, drowning, fire, or falls, the stats you restore with after the duel should be decremented by the value of the damage taken.
-This is to avoid exploitative scenarios such as players jumping off cliffs while dueling to cancel the duel to restore the fall damage
-If you take more than 33% of your total health from external factors such as these, the duel will cancel
-This also means if you jump off a cliff, get hit by lightning, die in a fire, drown, or die in some other way during a duel, you will die

-You do not inflict friendship loss with the player you are dueling against from hitting them during the duel

-When you defeat another player in a duel, the percent health you had remaining is printed in local chat
