Test your mettle, while wearing metal, to win a medal! Duel to see if you truly have the Best Sword in the Realm.
Battle Knights: The Duel is a Sword Fighting Tabletop Game (D&D Compatible) that is based on real armoured combat sword fighting by the Blades of Glory Knights, using their sword fighting system (MACE: Medieval Armoured Combat Entertainment).
It is combined with role-playing to give you a unique experience in the real world of sword fighting.
Use one of the Blades of Glory Knights (pre-generated characters), create your own armoured sword fighter (using the easy to follow rule set), or use your own D&D character and put your sword to the test!
This is a perfect addition to any RPG, when the adventure is over and the Fighters of the Party are waiting for the other characters to level up, OR you can use this game as the basis of your next adventure.
You get to experience the minute details of sword fighting in a fun, friendly, and safe way by yourself (solo games), with friends and /or other players in a tournament setting.
This game is based off of the Blades of Glory armoured sword fighters and our sword fighting system, called MACE, which has evolved since 1995. The MACE system also includes ancient martial arts techniques from manuals (or treatises to be exact), dating back from the 1300’s up to late 1570.
In this game, all the strikes, blocks and details that you will have to take into consideration in sword fighting is what our sword fighters experience during real duels that they fight in – all for the enjoyment & entertainment in front of hundreds/thousands of people.
Battle Knights: The Duel is a 1 vs 1 Sword Duel, and the goal is for your character to attain more points than your opponent at the end of 10 Rounds of Combat.
You can either bring your already created D&D character into this game or you can create your own character – just follow the “Create a Character” rules.
As in the MACE sword fighting system, this game is all about strikes and not thrusts (stabs – finding the gaps in armour), and not grapples (wrestling – arm bars, or throws to the ground). It is about slashing attacks to gain points, not about killing your opponent, as in a war, battle, or the duel to the death.
Each sword fighter gets 1 attack per round for each of the 10 Rounds but they also have possibilities of getting Combination Attacks and also Counter Attacks from a block. They can choose 8 different weapon/fighting styles, such as Longsword, Sword & Heater Shield, Sabre, Sword & Axe, to name a few. They get to buy/choose their armour, helmets, weapons, torse, etc. and learn various specialty Defensive Blocks or Highly Advanced Specialty Sword Strikes such as Ulrich’s Ultra Swift Single Sword Flurry, or the 2 Weapon Cartwheel of Devastation.
You get to choose to play in the different skill levels of sword fighting.
