A common rule of duelling has been "challenged party chooses the weapons". Of course, a gentleman will only choose weapons which his opponent knows how to use... won't he?
It can be very important to specify *exactly* what weapons you're talking about, of course. At an ACW show a few years back, we staged a duel. What weapons? "Guns". So they drew their pistols, turned their backs on each other, walked the prescribed number of paces away - which took the artillery officer to his 12-pounder Napoleon cannon. I'm not quite sure how you'd simulate this in Glorantha.

I'm pretty sure we came up with a Keyword for "Duellist" for the benefit of our Swords campaign - it may in fact have been used more like a Broad Ability, but since it now only gets used by NPCs, it didn't make a lot of difference.
Oh. Yes, we did, but it's a bit limited. Must flesh that out sometime. Though the main NPC who got defined by it is now dead.
