First off, thanks to everyone for the help thus far. Now, I just have a few other specific questions...
-Can a person make and use a double-edged spear (stab locations on both ends of spear)?
-Do all sheilds need to be covered in cloth?
-Do all weapons need to be covered in cloth?
thanks again to everyone...we (a few friends and I) have created two swords after watching videos and reading stuff.
