> When conflict checking a per pall field, do you get a difference from another device if the same colors are used but in different places in the pall division?  For example, per pall sable, argent and gules versus per pall argent, gules and sable?  Or what about per pall sable, gules and argent where one of the three colors occupies the same place?

For non-field-primary armory (ie, there are charges), SENA A5G1a says
you get a DC for change of field tincture. "If the tincture of at
least half the field is changed, the fields will be considered
different enough to be a distinct change (DC).  There is a distinct
change for swapping or rotating the tinctures of a field evenly
divided into two, three, or four parts.  There is not a distinct
change for swapping the tinctures of a field divided into more than
four parts."

> One last question, on a per pall inverted field division, if you make the lines for the bottom field segment extend from the marks on the form, is this a good bottom third size or does it look to much like a point pointed on top of a per pale division?

Looks too much like a point pointed. Needs to divide the field evenly
(visually) into thirds, not "two big and one small". Raise the lines a
titch above those marks.
