Equipment

All player characters can use any melee weaponry, a buckler or shield. You may wear armour but it has no effect unless magically enhanced.

Any weapon longer than 8" and less than or equal to 42" can be used in one or two hands.
You can dual wield weapons of this type.
These weapons cannot be used to thrust with.

Weapons such as staves, spears, halberds, etc.
They are greater than 42" and less than or equal to 84".
These weapons must be held in two hands.
Polearms are vulnerable to the SHATTER call.
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.

You may use a Runic Symbol in one or both hands for +1 hit point each.
This can either be a rune drawn on the hand, or on an object held in the hand.
If you benefit from a runic symbol that hand cannot be used to wield a weapon, buckler or shield in that encounter.

Throwing weapons are not supported by this game.
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.
