123 7 1/2 bucks  While there may be no 'rule' against it, this is one of those style problems. Two charges can be back to back (Addorsed) or facing one another (Respectant or Combattant) but many charges need to be all the same. No charging half a buck!

124 STOP  For statant, the hooves (or feet) are by definition, all on the ground - but the legs should be in a normal standing position.

101 Statant - Statant is, as stated, four feet on the ground. However dragons aren't drawn with wing-feet. Dragons with only 2 feet are generally wyverns and cannot be statant.

102 Will A Heraldic Will doesn't generally pass arms to a successor, though this can be done, but releases arms or a badge upon the death of the owner. This would free up the 'heraldic space'. This isn't so someone else can necessarily register someone elses arms after they pass, but to allow similar arms pass that may not, decades down the road, if the Will doesn't exist. The Will is on the SCA Heraldry Page in the Administrative Handbook Appendix D (Form Letters), and can be sent in with the registration paperwork or at any later time.
