Weapon Segments
A weapon segment is a portion of a melee weapon that begins at the handle (or the shield, for Madus) and ends at a striking or non-striking tip (eg. a pommel).
- Striking segments are segments that end with a Striking Tip.
- Non-Striking segments are segments that ends with a Non-Striking Tip.
- Segments may branch or split (like a trident), creating new segments from that point. These branching segments cannot be less padded than the point they branched out from. For example, if a segment branches out from a point with Strike-Legal padding then the entirety of that branched segment must have Strike-Legal padding.
Identifying weapons segments is most relevant when dealing with Madus, Multi-Ended Weapons, and Stab-Only weapons.
