EXPERIMENTAL WEAPONS AND TECHNIQUES PROGRAMS

In order to facilitate growth and the pursuit of historical accuracy within the rapier community, a framework for experimental weapons and programs have been developed. Per Appendix 2 of the Rapier Combat Rules for Caid:

"All experimentation with new weapons or techniques will be approved, supervised and monitored by the Kingdom Rapier Marshal (or an appointed representative) after permission for testing has been grantedby the Earl Marshal. Additionally, experimentation will be subject to procedures specified within the SCA Corporate Rapier Combat Rules.

If tested at an official event or practice, the Kingdom Rapier Marshal (or an appointed representative) must be present. In addition, all combatants and marshals must consent to the use of the weapon or technique before combat begins. If any of the marshals or combatants object to the use of the weapon or technique, it may not be used."
