In 3.5 i would bet there will be a strangler prestige class which gets exta maneuvers when strangling <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />And as pointed out: some things really can´t be done untrained if you are in a combat, even if you think it is easy to do. And introducing a general rule for something which is so unreliable that noone would ever think of dooing is overkill. (TWF without a feat) Better Introduce it as: if you have the TWF power you can wield two weapons at -2 penalty. You can still trying to do so without but that increases your malus to -6.Or just: if you use a weapon in your offhand, it imposes a -5 penalty to actions with both hands.As mentioned, a general stunt rule would be better suited than a special rule for "meat shield" and the bugbear´s meat shield should make use of that rule with somekind of a bonus to make it reliable.</blockquote>
