why are you showing stab injuries you are in full plate you cannot stab through plate you must find the gaps should rename it to just sparring with arming swords because you are clearly trying to replicate unarmored combat
The stab effects are a visual cue to show when a successful thrust into the gaps have been made, as its difficult to tell without them. For safety we are using our normal fencing masks to represent open faced bascinet helmets, so still count any hits that land between the brow line to the chin. In the opening exchange, Dan hits me clean in the face and follows up with a thrust under the aventail, hence the 'kill' indication. The following stab markers are ones that land on the exposed palm of the hand where there is no armour, and the final exchange ends with a thrust making it under my aventail, resulting in another 'kill' I hope this helps clarify things a bit, without the armour you'd be seeing way more hit markers 😆
