this sounds like something that would have to go to your kingdom earl marshal and probably Society marshal to get a ruling on. The only experimental material that I know of to replace rattan that is allowed society wide is UHMW. Fritz the peasant. Of note. Rubber tool dip on the edges of your sword ...

This page is ran by Her Excellency Mistress Laurrellen De Brandevin (sp) She is one of the most highly respected costumers here in An Tir. And just damn cool to boot.

From what I have read it seems that there were allegiances between France and Scotland at varying parts of the Hundred years war. At least until 1376, which is where I have stopped my research currently. As such I would imagine, just as the French sent troops to help Henry the bastard in Navarre, th...

I've been limited to living in An Tir and Drachenwald. I would vote for Drachenwald all the way though. Some coolness factor in going to the local 500 year old church to get some ideas for armor.

You could try doing the normal softball mace with foam over it and then making Shallow spikes out or foam and attaching them on and then Rubber coating the entire thing. Check local rules for legality of this first though.
