[QUOTE="RigaMortus, post: 1605065, member: 1077"] That's not a very accurate visual... First off, you'd need a special feat or attack maneuver to pick up a kobold and place them into another square while doing damage at the same time. It seems like you are trying to combine Bull Rush with a damaging melee attack. Allowing the Longspear to physically move the kobold could have negative effects during combat, which would normally not crop up by use of this "house rule". Think of the abuse this could cause! What if I want to save my friend from certain death. Would you allow me to "stick" him with the Longspear and "toss him" someplace safe, like behind me? That is very akin to what you are doing here with the kobold. Secondly, if this was possible, I'm sure you'd have minuses to the Cleave attack since the Longspear will be slighly heavier with a dead kobold attached to it. Even if you had the physical strength to lift it, it changes the dynamics of how you'd use such a weapon. You'd probably have to use it as an improvised weapon and take the -4 to hit, unless you had "Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Longspear with dead kobold". [/QUOTE]
