Changes in Chapter 8 for v 3.3.1

8.2.3.6 in Two-handed weapons
Was
The total length of a two-handed weapon must not exceed 3.65m (12 feet). If it exceeds 2.28m (7 1/2 feet) it must not be used for cutting or smashing and must be used for thrusting only.
Now
The total length of a two-handed weapon must not exceed 2.7m (9 feet). If it exceeds 2.28m (7 1/2 feet) it must not be used for cutting or smashing and must be used for thrusting only.
Functional change
Maximum weapon length is reduced from 12 feet to 9 feet
Reason
Game play rule change at Society level. The six kingdoms (including Lochac) that still allowed 12 foot all reported that there would be no issue returning to 9 foot.
For notes section
November 2023 - To ensure consistency between kingdoms, the Society armoured combat rules were changed in October 2023 to reduce the maximum length for two handed weapons (particularly spears) to 2.7m (9 feet). Lochac was one of only 6 kingdoms in the Known World that permitted the use of 12 foot spears in their kingdom rules.
