Rocks in Belegarth

It is stated that they require no skill and are entirely ineffective, though some hardcore folk have experienced otherwise. They are known to bruise only egos and make the "Hardcore" people upset. It is rumored that there are a few fighters that dare to be different and fight with just these. But they are highly skilled, and a few and far between.

Rocks can be a great surprise weapon, especially held in the cover of a shield where your opponent doesn't even know you have it. Mostly they are used as a taunt-kill though. A common phrase heard after a rock-kill is "REALLY? REALLY?? a ROCK???"
