'''A note on counterchanging and conflict:''' Note that "Per X and Y, a SINGLE charge counterchanged" has two DCs from its opposite (one for the field, one for changing the tincture of the charge). But in cases with multiple charges _not crossing_ a line of division, there is only one DC (for the field), as the charges have a forced changed of arrangement, not a tincture swap. For example, there are still 2 yellow and 2 black cats, just in different places on the field - forced by the change of the field tinctures.

Counterchanging is a common practice wherein the field is divided between a metal and a color. Upon that field is a charge or group of charges whose tinctures are of the opposite tincture. For instance, if one has ''Per pale sable and argent, two roundels counterchanged'', the roundel on the sable part of the field is argent and vice versa as such...
