[MR] Cuan's notes on Pennsic 32

Your grace,

I have a question about one piece of this expeptionally informative and useful
post, from the POV of an Atlantian CA:

As I am reading this in combination with the standards, there *appears* to be
no difference in the armor standards between medium and heavy archers, except
for the pheons on the helm.  (If I am missing something, I would appreciate it
if someone would point out my error, as it is factoring into my planning for
the War).

Given this fact, and the fact that a number of our Atlantian archers are also
authorized in other weapons forms (and therefore could potentially benefit from
the Heavy Archer's ability to draw a backup weapon), would it be permissable
FOR THOSE ARCHERS WHO WISHED TO to follow the Heavy Archer conventions?

I have no wish whatsoever to eliminate the benefit for those who wish to don
the pheons and yield to a touch, but if there are those who wish to go all the
way, may we?  If it would be a problem, I understand completely, but I do not
see on first glance how it would be.

In Service,

Gorm of Berra
Atlantian Archer, among other things.
