Now im just putting in my two cents about issues; take it or leave it, just what popped into my head as i was reading.
Weapon Checking - An Easy way to Cert someone for checking weapons is to have them shadow at an event, and then have some weapons you know for sure fail, some that failed for smaller things (core felt in the pommel) and some passing weapons, and have them test them, and see how they do, have the weapons stated above come from a broad spetrum. Just an idea. Shows how well they look for things ya know?
On Field - A Quick ABCD Checklist kinda thing with BoW Questions and seniero(SP?) questions like what would you do in this situation, and make them no brainer, like "if you got 3 vaild complaints about a weapon what would you do?"(and by vaild i dont mean "he swings too fast") Kinda to just show that they have the BoW smarts, and Common sense to be on the field.
Any herald in my opinion should be able to pick up a weapon and check it from pommel to tip. Weather it be a Glaive to a dagger (size difference along with Courtsy Foam) And know if it fails, and if it did for why, without having to be like "uh im not sure why but heres my idea".
Sorry if i rambled i tried not too..
