[center][h2]Post limit[/h2][/center]
When a post limit is issued on a challenge it means that students will have a limited amount of posts in order to complete the forging of a sword in a challenge. Not every challenge will have a post limit but it may be imposed in order to keep posts flowing well. A limit of [u]2 combined banter or smithing actions[/u] are allowed per post before you have to wrap it up.

Banter actions include asking someone for advice, going over to another student's workshop to steal ideas, or something along those lines. Conversations unless collaborated will take their own individual posts. A smithing action is any single action during the smithing process such as smelting the metals, or hammering the sword etc.

In order to create a sword, [u]10 units[/u] of combined material must be used in order to forge the blade. Other metallic parts such as the handle can be included in the 10 unit cost depending. Embellishments such as gold trim or chains and whatnot won't usually even take up one unit of material but still need to be mentioned as taking something.

Creating a scabbard takes [u]5 units[/u] of any particular material which includes its embellishments, depending on how overboard you want to go with the decorations.

Currently listed tech is there, it's also on the first OOC post. They're pretty heavily abridged but it is pretty much all you need to know, I also mentioned a while ago Exploration and Mercantile would come eventually when we got to them.
