(There are not that many types.) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As for how they are being done:There is absolutely no standard set for this. It totally depends on the outcome of the bargaining by the participants. True, a form of combat is usually chosen, but might be as well a chess match or a 100m dash. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> (Though these later examples might be considered un-clanlike by many, they are theoretically possible.)In theory, unarmed should be considered the lowest bid, but it does not necessarily mean that your opponent will be unarmed, too.This actually depends on how the challenge is handled: If you ask "What forces will defend ...", your opponent has the chance to name his choice and you have to bid against it. (Of course, if your bid is really low, your opponent might feel forced by honour to lower his own bid.) [This is the traditional form for a challenge and therefore most Trials.] If you "I challenge this with ...", your opponent should be honour-bound to make an appropriate counter-offer to meet or underbid your bid. (But there's nothing that forces him to do so!)</blockquote>
