Thanks. So that means no change in the way we have been doing this and
the the experienced authorizing marshals that you have heard from here,
Pug, Iaen, and I have all basically been following the same process.<br>

<div>Well, since we have all had our say and are probably just
confusing the person who asked this, lets just finish with this. Do
you NEED an armored combat authorization? Maybe, maybe not. Would it
be a good idea to get it? Sure. Why? Because this gives you more
options on the field of battle. <br>
<br>
If you run out of throwing weapons and no one has thrown them back for
you to re-use you can have a fishbat or a mace with a basket
hilt hanging from your side as a backup weapon. If you use a bow or
crossbow and its gets hit with an arrow (thus rendering it useless) you
can still do something instead of getting taken out of the battle in a
non-res-battle. It wont actually take that much extra time to get and
will be worth it in the long run. Heck, even if you just pick up a
shield and stand there for the guy next to you with a spear, its better
than standing on the sidelines cause your crossbow is broke, youre out
of ammo, etc.<br>
<br>
Either way, have fun, enjoy yourself at Gulf.<br>
