Not sure if this is entirely on topic, but one idea I find intriguing but haven't yet had the chance to try is to allow characters to fluff their weapon attacks however they like.
I see no reason to punish someone mechanically for saying "I kick at his knees and then attempt to drive my sword through his chest" vs. "I attack twice with my longsword." If they can make two longsword attacks, might as well let them imagine how that plays out in a more interesting way if they choose, rather than "oh well a kick from you is an unarmed strike at best, since you're just a measly fighter, so 1 + Str if you hit with that and no other effect."
