Siege engine authorisation

  1. Lochac has a weapon-specific authorisation for siege engines, that makes you a siege engineer.
  2. If you want to authorise in siege, you must also hold an authorisation for armored combatant, or plumed participant.
  3. Additional requirements for siege authorisation include demonstrating:
    1. understanding of the rules for siege.
    2. the ability to safely operate an engine.
    3. the ability to inspect an engine for safety.
    4. the ability to render an engine safe.
    5. Understanding of how engines/engineers are killed by opponents.
  4. Prospective engineers should be observed for at least 1 battle before authorisations are made final.

Marshalling siege combat

  1. An authorised siege marshal must:
    1. oversee the inspection of engines and operators.
    2. be present on any field where siege engines are in use.
  2. During combat there must be at least 1 siege marshal for each end of the field that has a siege engine.
    1. We recommended at least 1 siege marshal for every 3 engines in use.
  3. The armour requirements for marshals when siege is being used in combat are listed in the non-combatant armour requirements section of the Armoured Combat Fighters' Handbook.
