The Governing Laws of MELEE, the rules if you will, are currently undergoing updating. Consideration of member input from the various groups as wells "technological advances" in the crafting of weaponry have helped provide more flexibility and options.
As the various codex components are finalized and published (typically with drafts being reviewed among members of local staffs and ultimately approved by the High Chancellery), they will be published here as final. Feel free to check back for updates.
