ARN - Cold Blades

[LTThumper@aol.com]

I have fought in Drackenvauld and have tried both warming the blades and just 
using them.  Warming a blade does not have a noticeable affect, if it is like 
you would do for normal weather.  The increase in friction does cause a 
decrease in the life of the blade.  My suggestion would be to Flex the blade 
in the normal bent of a good shot to make sure the blade is still good.  
Witch should be done prior to any fighting good weather or bad.  Then play 
with a little more caution like as if you were using slogger blades and did 
not won't to accidentally hurt someone.  The only break of a blade I have 
ever seen in cold weather is at the tang of the blade, but that does not mean 
that it couldn't happen anywhere else.
