apply to kids.  I remember in Thieves World where the Crime Lord was in
an alley with the beggar kids.  They brought him down by sheer numbers.
(they may have had some weapons though). Now another question.  If you
can only be engaged by an enemy with a weapon, does that mean you are not
engaged in a barroom brawl?  So if you wanted to engage that Hells Angel
long enough for the "law" to come, you need to break a bottle and wield
it?  How about your wooden mug as a type of cestus? By the way, I like
the Drop Weapon idea as a way to break engagement.  Or you could freeze
them.  And if someone is SO FRIGHTENED that they are stiff, but still
holding a weapon, are they a  potential threat? HailmeleeJohn Paul
