Combat and the warrior culture 

Combat in Northheim is a very important aspect of our subculture. It guides the warriors of our society in the ways of battle, not to mention it is fun!

How we fight:

Fighting is done using relativly harmless padded weapons and shields. These stiff, padded swords, axes, maces flails , etc. are designed to be safe yet hit with respectable force.

There are two types of armed combat in Northheim: the tourniment and battle:

Tourniments are done in the zero body system and head shots are allowed due to the requirement of proper head protection. This combat is in keeping with the Kingdom of Avalon's regulations on combat and

Battles are done with the addition of armor and any period armor counts as one exta hit point on the area of the body it covers. Head shots are not allowed. The combat done on the battlefield is very similar to larger battle gaming societies and we strive to maintain our weapons and armor in keeping with their rules to allow us to participate in their larger events from time to time.

A full set of combat rules is forthcoming.
