Sparring?

[serithal]

could two players possibly have their characters spar or basically a practice fight? is there some kind of rule or set up that would help that work?

[blackbloodtroll]

It could be done as roleplay only.

Indeed, or you could use non-lethal weapons and damage.

You could have them both fight non-lethally and just waive the -4 to hit for the purposes of the sparring session. That way it resembles a real fight in pretty much every fashion and has very little risk of death.

Except Ninjas like me don't use nonlethal damage.

Non-Lethal Combat + Duel Rules?

[Ivan Rûski]

I'd use the dueling rules with non-lethal damage.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Milo.

Attack Non-Lethal USING the actual -4 penalty, but you could remove the armor from both combatants or provide only minimal armor (so no more than a chain shirt). The equipment itself would be agreed to or decided on by the duelists, so that's irrelevant, but I would actually impose the penalty for effect and I feel that the moderately increased whiffing would be more flavorful for a duel where the combatants are holding back for one reason or another.
