Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruavel" data-source="post: 348692" data-attributes="member: 5704">Maitre d'Escrime quests...anyone care to read this additional quest and tell me what they think...?To truly be considered a master of fencing, the prospective maitre must bring something more to the art than just her experience with the rapier and time must be spent furthering swordplay above all other things. In her desire to improve her swordsmanship and that of others, the upcoming maitre must spend a significant period of time away from her homeland studying the fighting styles of another race or culture. The subject of her studies can be located no closer than 500 miles from the maitre’s base of operations, although some of the greatest maitre have gone so far as to spend their time studying the combat techniques of races like the githyanki and githzerai on other planes.    For the study to be valid, the subject of the maitre’s study must have obvious differences from the normal fighting styles of her own culture and race. For example after spending several weeks aiding an elven community far from her home, Trinnen val Kemeer spent another four months with group of young elves who were training to become Bladesingers. The elves would not teach Trinnen any part of the Bladesong but she was permitted to watch the student practice, make notes on what she saw and occasionally spar with the pupils.    The study of such exotic combat methods should ultimately produce a comprehensive analysis of the weapons, tactics, protective equipment, and some of the more impressive manoeuvres used by the people or school studied, their comparative strengths and weaknesses, and a discussion on the possible adaptation of any appropriate skills or equipment into the school of fencing.I know this doesn't reflect correct layout, but that will be altered for the draft...any and all feedback is appreciated... although be gentle, I'm fragile...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> thanx...</blockquote>
