(yes, with this crowd I do think that's a reasonable assumption)... or failing that, a baseball bat or heavy dowel even.Now hold the stick/sword with one hand, and hold your pinky out straight.  Make sure there is nothing breakable near you, or any people you care about.  Swing the stick/sword as fast as you can down into the side frame of a doorway (or some other hard object that will make the stick vibrate in your hand).  The sideways swing is a good test, since it's a bit harder to control than a downward swing.Now retreive the sword-like object from where it bounced to, straighten the lamp you knocked over, and consider again the value of your pinky.You have four fingers that hold your grip on.  The pinky doesn't exert as much force as the index and pointer fingers, but it does wonders to stabilize your hand.I'd say -1 or -2 to hit is reasonable.  Alternatively, consider making the chance of a fumble considerably higher.And somatic components... ick.John</blockquote>
