Policy-11

The Proposal
==== 1.) Extending Auxiliary Allowances Chapter Wide ====
This policy would lift the ban on coreless shields, body shields, leather chest armor, and flails. The idea behind the lift is to promote an environment where Verditians can both have higher exposure to LARP weaponry and utilize it at events/practices if they chose to. See section 3 on how this would affect rank trials.
A major reason this change could be seen as beneficial to the group is in war-situations. At events the Verditians are often incredibly vulnerable to archer fire, allowing body shields could be a natural solution to this problem. Especially because most larp games do not afford advantages to plate armor.
All equipment is still subject to the same quality standards and uniform standards.
==== 2.) Amending Armor Tier Laws to Address Body Shields ====
This policy would mean that your armor does not 'count' under a body shield. The shield negates any armor it covers when strapped to your body. This would be an easy way of avoiding the very powerful bonuses stacking a body shield with plate armor would afford.
==== 3.) Policies on Rank Trials ====
Rank trails will maintain the traditional ban list against body shields, leather chest armor, and flails. Meaning you cannot utilize these weapons if you are attempting a rank trial.
