Rapier Marshal

Duties of a Rapier Marshal

The Rapier Marshal is the safety officer who oversees rapier combat activities within our barony. In rapier combat, fighters wear lighter gear than in armored combat and use blunted metal swords as weaponry. This style of fighting is more similar to the kind taught by renaissance fencing masters. The Rapier Marshal is responsible for making sure that everyone is safe and obeying the rules of the game.

You can talk to the Rapier Marshal if you want to:

• Start fighting in rapier combat

• Ask about specific rules in rapier combat

• Report something or someone being unsafe in combat

• Learn what you need to do to get your rapier equipment in order

• Find out what kind of sword you need to participate in rapier combat
