do you take shots that bounce off your head first? why not?

Accidental headshots do happen and are just that: accidents.
Is there some rash of people intentionally throwing headshots to gain an advantage in the south? I haven't made it to any southern events, but in over seven years of fighting, I have never seen someone doing this.
Aegis wrote:and the argument I keep hearing is, Even tho its UNSAFE, headshots are ok because the rulebook doesnt have a penalty for them... just whether the heralds arbitrarily want to pull someone based on a very subjective safety clause, after its too late.

There's a difference between "okay" and "**** happens."
At our practice, we just don't care, we don't want to punish people, and we don't want to stop the fighting, you call head and move on, and usually it's a 3 line exchange:
"Head!"
::fight fight fight::
"My bad!"
::fight fight fight::
"It's okay!"
::fight fight fight::

Many of you guys say "the herald should....."
1st you have to have Heralds that will say something about it.
Then we need 2-3 Heralds for each fighter- to get all the angles. Never gonna happen.
We have 1 herald for about every 100 people at the biggest events.
Even the best Heralds can NOT catch everything.
We also have new Heralds, NOT to mention weak Heralds, or Heralds that won't make call on their buddies or unit members...debuenzo wrote:as far as the "Numenor 1-2" (headshot followed by good shot) goes, this would be a killing blow if a fighter used this regularly (which you seem to be leary of) then a herald could make the call and throw them out
