Calimacil vs. Latex

Aren't squires better than vassels? I'm not entirely aure were vassels rank actually...

were all important

Is playing in snow/rain/really hot days a problem when using latex? Also, silicon spray is really important right?

Let's not start any IG fights here - remember this is an OOG board.

Just to note, Squires are lesser nobility, and would be addressed formally as Squire <:Last Name>, since for whatever reason KR uses that convention rather than the standard <Noble Title + First Name> typically used historically. Don't ask me why, its just the way its always been, and as many of us veterans will tell you, you never know how terrible that last name you made up as a 16 year old is until you are made a noble, and suddenly everyone is using it....ugh....

As someone that uses calamacil, I can agree with the above in regards to weight. But, as I went from heavy boffers, to calamacil, it was a switch to a lighter, more wieldy weapon to me. As far as the hardness, it really seams to depend on the batch of foam being used. I've seen two identical weapons that have very different levels of hardness. You generally have to pull your swings a lot more with a harder calamacil, though using the flat of the blade generally helps mitigate it a bit.

Now on to the pros.
It does not shred from using it as a walking stick(in the case of a staff or polearm). You pretty much have to cut the foam with a blade to damage it. Also, if you leave a weapon in your car durring the summer, it doesn't melt.
