[ANSTHRLD] Clearing a Conflict

[Joseph Percer]

Herr Wolfgang,

RfS X4i gives 1 clear difference for addition of charges on charges
(tertiary charges). Note that you can only derive 1 CD from a change
to a tertiary. That should clear you of Sable, two doublebitted axes
in saltire argent.

I will caution you though, the tertiary charge must be large enough so
as to be (a) identifiable and (b) significant enough to be worthy of
difference. Your mullet must also have significant contrast with the
halberd. So if your halberds are argent, then your mullet must be
sable, gules, azure, vert, or purpure.

You could also look into the possibility of adding a peripheral
ordinary such as a bordure or an orle. Be advised that I have not
conflict checked these choices, but they are options available to you.

Yours service,

Jayme Dominguez del Valle
