Gladiators fight with blunted steel weapons mostly though some continue to use wooden weapons.

Many excellent fighters never reach ''Gladiator''.  The damage to the body builds up and so a high percentage of ''Rank Warriors'' retire after gaining Gladiator.  It is considered a highly respected rank.  Its is a common story among Gladiators that the '''three fights for gladiator''' were the hardest of their lives.  75% of Gladiators never gain another rank.
