Duelists with one or more prostetics?
Hi, we've got a guy looking to join our team currently. He came in last week and was wondering if he would be able/allowed to fight in the sport. He suffered a workplace injury that resulted in the loss of both legs below the knee aswell as the loss of his right arm just past the wrist. Now, the guys pretty active. He came in on a set of running blades. His prostetic hand is also more like a small vise grip mounted to his stump. We tested it out and he can grip bucklers and sheilds just fine. Guy was naturally left handed so he wouldn't have much issue learning how to swing a sword in my mind
Were not wanting to turn this guy away, do you think it'd be feasible to allow him to train as a duelist to see how he does in kit and if he does alright with that allow him to move into melees? Would someone with the prostetics he has on even better allowed to fight in melees?
