~~ Masters of Blades ~~

The rules for engaging another in duel shall be honorably adhered to.  They are as follows:

• A duel shall consist of two opponents, each armed with bladed weapons.  Offhand weapons are permissible.  No fisticuffs, clubs, staves, or other similarly crude manners of combat are allowed.
  
• Tactics not reliant on the blade, such as knocking the opponent down, is not allowed.
[/FONT][/I][/SIZE]

• No magical enchantments shall be used on ones person prior to the duel.  One must be as prepared as one is after a restful slumber, with only permanent effects on ones armor, jewelry, and such.
[/FONT][/I][/SIZE]

• Only permanent magical enchantments may be present on the dueling blades.
  
• No magical interventions are to take place during the duel.
  
• The victor of the duel shall be mutually agreed upon by both contestants.

The rankings shall consist of a ranked list.  

• Each gentleman or lady shall be named fully with their weapon of specialization.  This weapon will be the sole main-hand weapon allowed during duels.
  
• Defeating a higher ranked opponent will raise the victor's name one rank in the list.
  
• Losing a duel shall not change the defeated combatant's rank.
  
• Opponents may not face one another in ranking duels consecutively.
[/FONT][/I][/SIZE]

• The ranking of Master and Grand Master will not be conveyed at this time, but shall be initiated later by The Crossed Blades.

Note your name and weapon of specialization below to be added to The Crossed Blades' rankings.

Is the title of your organization meant literally, or does your code duello allow for the art of fisticuffs as well?

 //the rules say no "magical" interventions during the duel.  Does this only refer to spells?  Does this include feats such as knockdown, power attack, expertise, divine shield, divine might.  Thanks for the clarification.

Title: Re: *notice* The Crossed Blades -- Masters of Blades Rankings
Post by: DMOE on February 04, 2008, 02:31:20 PM

// Divine Might and Divine Shield as I understand it, while feats are a 'gift from the god' so I would say they would be classed as 'magic' otherwise clerics could use all their spells

Title: Re: *notice* The Crossed Blades -- Masters of Blades Rankings
Post by: Skywatcher on February 04, 2008, 02:32:34 PM

//I was just asking for clarification because some feats have similar effects as spells and some like Divine Might, Divine Wrath and Divine Shield look like spells and things like lay on hands can be used to heal.  It seems like the sponsor is trying to rule out things that give too much advantage so I just wanted to make sure it was just magical spells that were being precluded.  I can understand the desire to level the playing field and wanted to make sure I understood the intent of the rules.

Although I must note disappointment that the crossed blades eschews the noble use of fists as weapons, I have a desire to train against those who have mastered various weapons, and thus I add my name here:

Drexia: Tessen, also called a bladed fan.
