- Polearms greater than or equal to 60" can be used to thrust with if they have a thrust-safe tip (though you can also swing with them). You must present a weapon you intend to thrust with to a ref or the safety officer for inspection.
- A spear greater than or equal to 60" can be used in one hand, if held within 6" of the mid-point and used for thrusting only. You may not dual wield one-handed spears.

Runic Symbol

- If you benefit from a runic symbol that hand cannot be used to wield a weapon, buckler or shield in that encounter.

- If you wish to use a bow or crossbow, or if you have a weapon you'd like to use that doesn't fall in to these categories, contact the refs.
