I am saddened by this news, at this point it is up to the royal peers to voice for a change in the law. Its to late to help Lutr and Tessa but we might be able to help future crowns. It's time for a change in the law..... Thor, P.S. The idea of an auto renewal upon winning Crown is fantastic.

I have one. For sword practice I put a helmet on it to show power strikes but never hit the plastic it will break fast. The best use for it is spear training as we do touch to the face I leave the helmet on to touch the bars but power to the body. It works great and would be an asset to any fighters...

This all depends on your armor. Armored live steel fights can go on a very loooong time because you need to penatrate the armor to hurt somebody. Single sword against full plate takes a while.

That's a bit of an over reaction.

Most of the Atlantians I have met do believe there is excessive force but its hard to agree on when its excessive.

There's no reason to get that bent on someones opinion.

Harder hits encourage fighters to wear more armour, and makes you try harder to defend yourself. I defend my self because I dont want to loose, not because you might be able to hurt me.
