24 character points total in Weapon Skill (among all categories) makes the character a Weapons Master.
Measurements for weapons are the total length of entire weapon.
Swords, glaives, halberds and poleaxes with stabbing tips are considered to add 4" to length for purposes of determining cost.
Polearms with buttspikes require 3 more points than normal (e.g. a 9-point polearm with a buttspike becomes a 12-point weapon).
Dagger, short sword, plain sword, long sword, bastard sword, shields, blocking staff, armor, and thrown weapons require no approval to use. Other weapons require prior safety approval from a Weapons Marshal.
Players may reallocate Weapon Skill points among the categories between events.
