[QUOTE="Hexer, post: 5572912, member: 6672148"] I still dont know all the rules that well (still focussing on those I need right now) so if this is well described already, its ok to just point me in the right direction of course. I havent played a melee char so far but I was thinking about this: A good fighter/martial artist/whatever will most probably use all the advantages he can get in melee. This includes using their feet. I'm not even talking about flashy, artistic Kung Fu style kicking but stuff like a quick kick to the lower leg to throw an opponent off balance, steping on his foot when you're close to drastically reduce his manouverability, a kick to the side of the knee to break it or at least make his move/stance instable for a moment or distract, a knee to the upper leg to slow him down and also destabilize his stance, stuff like that. The lawful good paladin might not do such things maybe but the experienced mercenary, barbarian, martial artist, rogue, and many others would surely use stuff like this. Is stuff like that part of the rules? Or is it just something you could use as descriptions of what your char is doing in combat while using standard stuff? I know that second hand actions are ruled (off hand punches, 2 weapon fighting (maybe with an empty second hand), shield strike and stuff like that but how about feet? [/QUOTE]
