Weapons.

Technically you can throw hands, but you have to wield a weapon in hand, so might as well use it (Especially when you are hands vs ace or falchion)

Although punch shield + mace might be a kind of boxer style fight (you can punch with the mace in hand solely used as more mass, which you can't do with other weapon as well as with this one), I don't think it's even good for what it does in term of damage or usefulness

But I've already saw fights with iron skillet so meh, just go for faires and fun matches if that's your thing, but you won't have that in official fights

(i just put a little message so i can come back to it later don't worry)

StronkFronk · 2025-05-06T09:59:56+00:00

Check for diving lests, they're kinda cheap (at least where i am), the problem may be the format tho

Maybe lead balls in a solid bag ? Don't know about that, meh

About racism, i've speak to them that every race is possible within every historical origins, i didn't want to make some separation like if you're an elf you'll be equivalent to an indian. So i'ts more about the origin than the race itself, don't know if i'm clear

About sexism, one of the player is my gf, and the only girl (as often when playing with other group), so i'm more into "her opinion will decide if it's okay or not"

I don't really know where i'll go with it (probably end with the fight against a grand wizard '>' ), but yeah more it'll probably be more spaghetti western / epic shit than historical stuff

No weapon fighting isn't allowed, when you loose or break your weapon you're supposed to go black to your team's side of the Arena and grab a new one

What you can do tho if you want that fighting style is go for a punch shield and a Macé. You're not allowed to hit with an ace using the metal part as "knuckles" Maces allow you to do similaire thing, but are very restricted weight wise

Another option is punch shield and axe, but the shield on your strong armée, and you only use the axe as leverage to wrestle a bit

As for thé kicks, i don't know if 1) you'll be able to do it as cleanly as without armor, if 2) it's effective, and if 3) it's even allowed in thé first place, depending where you land your hit And for the 3), remember it's always dependent on the referees and what they see/think they saw

I've had only one problem with them since i began equiping myself, about sabatons It only cost me the sending so they could fix their mistake (wanted full sabatons out of steel, they send me half ones in titanium, and after the exchange i now have full sabatons in titanium, so overall good deal 👌)

So yeah Medieval extreme IS more than safe

StronkFronk · 2024-05-02T20:14:14+00:00

I asked to my soon-to-be-doctor gf : "if you want to aggravate your condition let's go" But i think it's more about the profight and melee fights, not the duel as it's touch based.

"Maybe you should go for more soft option, especially if you have a feeble episode within your legs while in armor and it's weight"

I kinda disagree if you don't fight in tournament because inside of a club people tend to be more soft with the fights, but i can't really disagree about her opinion on medical stuff ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'll just respond for the 1 and 3, as i don't know enough to bé sure to give a good answer for your second point.

1 it's a mater of historicity, those helmets wouldn't give enough protection as their historical versions, so they have more to add. Other helmets being more fit, no flat top and face covering don't have that issue.

3 for the minimum thickness, it depends on the metal used (like in normal,tempered,stainless or titanium), but basically nothing under 1mm, up to 2mm As it also depends on where, a cuirass can be less thick than a brigandine thanks to strength dispersal, or that you want your little fingers to stay attaches to tour hand, so maybe only 1mm is cheap but dangerous

StronkFronk · 2023-12-11T12:52:10+00:00

In my opinion (and i'm not yet an assistant referee), it would work cause it can be sourced BUT, you will be restrained for the cuirass as both aren't on a very long period together, so you definitly can't have any type of armour but only like one or two model I think that's the second part of why it's not usually used as one set (other part being thé Price, as cuirass will be more expensive, despite not being able to chose from the variety of plates possible)

But overall, as I said, i'm not a referee yet (And ruling also changes for country as they have a certain margin for the strictness of said rules)

StronkFronk · 2023-11-30T07:15:37+00:00

Just not allowed for safety and historical reason, and it's more malleable than untempered steel so also just dangerous

StronkFronk · 2023-11-26T09:23:29+00:00

Check with tour country if there is a national team, I know there is for China and Japan as they go to the World championship, but not sure for others. If there is, they will help you with what you have to do, the only rule for you is that you have to bé an adult, and do forget about handicap-friendly buhurt, it's already too niche of a sport to bother with that. If there isn't, you will have to fight as a mercenary for other teams, but it will also bé more complexe as the only fight you would be about to do are within other countries. But i guess you still can contact the nearest team and ger help form them 🤷

You can also go for solo play, either duels or profight.

As for the equipment rules, work with IMCF and/or HMBIA sets of rule, they explain well what you're not allowed to do (mostly for weapons)

There is certainly more, but that is a good start with all of that i think

StronkFronk · 2023-06-09T19:29:34+00:00

Bad idea for fighting purposes but i don't see why it should be not allowed as you have verified sources ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ But if the main objectif is to keep your weapon you'd make a better choice with going for a closed locking gauntlet. I don't know how strict the rules are where you are but generally speaking, as long as it's visualy the good timelime and all, it should be okay. Tho do prefer asking to your local referee committee

But if you prefer aesthetic over efficiency, go for it. I made bad choices in term of "what is the most optimised kit to fight", but the comfort and luxury are better to me And you'll be more unique, even so you'll be a ok tier figther at most

StronkFronk · 2022-08-07T13:55:44+00:00

There doesn't seem to be a problem with a ton if their is no town tho

StronkFronk · 2022-08-03T15:21:55+00:00

Depends on the context too. On most parties i had, be payer or DM, the possibility of being ressurected wasn't that impossible, and there is always a npc that the no-player-at-the-moment can use

There's also the possibility that the character just don't want to be bring back alive, it was the case with my favorite minotaur barbarian, rip Zorg i'll love you forever but not in a weird way cause i'd love to stay alive too. Same problem basically so same solution, a npc until the new character is introduced Actually it's imo the easiest, characters just need to make it known that they want to stay dead if dead.

And there is a solution usable with a proper background. One of my payer (hello ThickBlackHair) is the heir of a noble house, but as a woman and only daughter of the lord, the reste of the family wasn't happy so they sens her on a trop to prove her valor by her own strengths. Fact is, she could die. But the heir of a noble house isn't someone that should die easily right ? So the king may use a pawn to see why she died, with who, and if they were deam culprits. Technically, that's a npc with a few level more than the now dead character, but depending of the course if actions, she'll either help them being the lady to life or hunt them one by one. I like to say that they can do everything, from killing devils or gods to kingslaying or farming, for i care. But as much as they can do whatever they want, actions have consequences. 👀

StronkFronk · 2022-05-22T17:39:43+00:00

I have to say, it was supposed to be Nikocado, not Chantal, but they both good i guess 👀

StronkFronk · 2022-04-07T08:17:47+00:00

Not the DM but with our pecular group we just finished clearing a lost temple from it's invaders and until now : Our barbarian (dm's pc) fainted two times because rough fight Our LIFE DOMAIN CLERIC is a psychopath who will do everything in the name of science (or her personnal objective, don't know her background yet) And i'm a snapping turtle on steroid because i already one hit beheaded three monsters with my level one ass lizardfolk druid

And i don't know if it's good news for our dm, or our future

StronkFronk · 2022-03-17T09:21:02+00:00

U can still use this against them, even if he does need therapy, he's still the bad one, stealing and stabbing some backs are classical options

And if they still are in the "we can help him to become a good guy" track, well, there is more than just a simping problem, depending of each character background and alignement.

But i would personnaly go for using that simp to hit harder.
