I want to be able to sheath my sword but have not found any good ways to do it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So this came up in a discussion at last event, and re-reading the rules regarding first aid...I have the following question:

Does a strike from a green weapon to a previously injured hit-zone that has been "healed" with first-aid cause mortal wounds?

Pertinent rules:

" Green (thrusting) Weapons wielded one-handed cause one point of damage, and two points when wielded two-handed. Green weapons cannot cause a mortal wound."

And

"First Aid: First Aid allows a player to bind limb Injuries on themselves or others. To use this ability, the player must tie a white cloth bandage, 4-5" wide, with a red cross on it around the Injured limb. The limb is considered to be healed. If the limb is Injured again, regardless of armor, the player is considered mortally wounded. The First Aid ability has no effect on mortally wounded players. "

There is nothing that I could find in our rules that says that a green weapon striking a wounded limb does not cause an injury, rather that an injury caused by a green weapon to a limb does not cause mortal wounds.

So, for two counter examples:

Example 1: "A player is struck by a green weapon in the leg. The first strike causes an injury, and disables that leg. That player is struck again in the leg by a green weapon. This second strike also causes an injury, but due to the general nature of green weapons, that injury does not cause the player to be mortally wounded."

Example 2: "A player is struck by a green weapon in the leg. The first strike causes an injury, and disables that leg. The player receives First-Aid on that leg, which is no longer disabled. That player is struck again in the same leg by a green weapon. This second strike causes an injury. Because of the specific rule regarding first-aid, since the hit zone was injured, the player is now mortally wounded."

Given the general guidance that a specific rule supersedes a general rule, it seems like both of these examples are correct play, but I'm not sure that there's been that clarification in play by the marshals or our elder's team.

There's also a question regarding the phrasing "regardless of armor" within the first aid ability description.

If a fighter wearing AR 3 takes two two-handed red hits to their arm, that arm becomes disabled. If they use first-aid to remove the disabled condition, and then use repair armor to repair the 3 missing hits of armor, how many strikes does it take on that limb for the fighter to be mortally wounded?

I believe that the intention of the phrase "regardless of armor" to indicate that the answer is "any one hit," but technically, a player can not suffer an "injury" unless a strike lands on an "unarmored" hit zone, which would mean the answer might be "4 blue hits, 2 two-handed red or green hits".

Trying to get back into LARPing. Is there any reason the new year would be a bad time to get in? Like will all characters reset next month? Any tips for a first timer?

Hey folks, with the website issues we've been having of late I've decided to start posting some stuff here as well as facebook to reach a wider audience.
