Karl, everyones NEEDs are different, and personal desires vary even
more as do an individuals capability. For instance I avoid running out
of ammo by making sure I have enough ammo and I also make sure I have
spare bows. So my needs in that situation are different than yours.<br>
<br>
Lets set aside an individuals needs, desires, and capabilities. What
was being asked was what is REQUIRED. You and Charles both indicated
that the "Armored Combat" authorization was REQUIRED. That was/is
incorrect. Simple honest mistakes, but incorrect. <br>

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>
