Rapier:Conventions - Acknowledgement of blows - What happens when I'm hit

What happens when you are hit?

1. A valid blow to your body is taken as a kill.
2. A valid blow to your wrist or arm disables that arm.
3. A valid blow to your hand disables that hand.
   1. Your hand can be balled into a fist and used to parry with, as a rigid extension of your forearm.
   2. If both hands are disabled, you must yield in a single combat tournament.
4. A blow to your foot or leg disables that leg.
   1. You must then fight kneeling, sitting, or standing with your feet together.
   2. If your lower leg is struck, you can fight from the ground and are allowed to move about on your knees.
   3. If your upper leg (including buttock) was struck, you can move about but are not allowed to rise up during combat.
5. A strike from a ranged weapon or missile is taken the same as a thrust from a bladed weapon.
