Dragon's Tail Cut?

I like Wallop much better than Dragon's Tail Cut. It's simple and straightforward and doesn't interject a particular flavor into the basic rules of the game.

I disagree. "Wallop" is practically archaic, and so far removed from everyday speech that it constitutes flavor on its own. As I said in the news board, it sounds like something Popeye would do to Bluto.

I would have liked Dragon's Tail Sweep, like someone suggested, i sure hope they don't go back to Wallop. :\

Perhaps Bap, Kapow or Kablam? Players can hold up colorful little cards when they perform their maneuvers.

So, basically, we're all for hamstring, right?

I prefer 'sweeping blow.'

 

[Belorin]

How about Sword Sweep?
Simple, descriptive and easily modified; Halberd Sweep or Staff Sweep.

You like "Dragon's Tail Cut", but have a problem with "wallop" because it is "archaic" and "removed from everyday speech"?

Anyway, I'll take boring and simple over being force fed someone else's flavor preference any day. And the bottom line is, a better generic term than "wallop" can be assigned. But any over the top forced everyone-in-the-world-knows-it-by-this name is still going to suffer the same deep flaws. And, hurray!, options not limitations won through this time.

Ugh, I hate that. It means the party is pretty much over.

I resubmit my suggestion, "Reaping Blade."
