Cheater Beater
"If they're busy saying 'Ow!', then they can't call light."
Composition
A cheater beater is a weapon which has very densely compacted foam. These are weapons which pass on everything except hitting too hard (being able to feel the core and hitting hard are two separate concepts.) The most common cheater beaters are axes, maces, and red swords. Usually it is just the weapon that you've tried to break in numerous times, but simply just packs too much of a punch.
Use
Cheater beaters are commonly used to make rhinohiders take their hits. This is based on the principle that if someone is limping away from a fight, then they'll remember to take their hits.
Discouragement
Let's face it, every realm has is own personal Cheater Beater. You probably bet you're cool thinking it up all by yourself, but you aren't because you didn't. Cheater beaters are not legal weapons because they hit too hard which fails. However, some heralds and weapon checkers will overlook your use of it if they observe someone blowing off shots. If you do intend to use it, please do not engage in battle with a person who is taking their hits.
