In rapier we have used marklands for several years and they are not that
bad unless archers choose to ignore minimal ranges. Thistle missles and
baldar blunts on the other had tend to hit to hard based on our
experiments and the biggest fear was a throat impact. The previously
stated marklands are fine I've been hit by them many times, it is a
suprise at the initial hit but not bad.
