Sacrifice the first attack to increase your base critical rate to 18-20 with the axe (i.e. you take only your secondary attack).e.g. Blinding Slash (slashing weapon). Two step combination, you first make a targeting attack against the victims normal AC which doesn't do any damage. if the targeting succeeds you then follow with another normal attack which blinds the target for 1d6 rounds if Fort save failed.e.g. Double Spin (bladed polearm: glaive, guisarme, halberd). You spin the polearm high on the first blow and follow up low at the legs. You take a -2 to your first attack in the sequence but +3 to hit on the second attack in the sequence.The whole book has got lots more examples - I think it would be a great way of providing a huge, flexible range of martial manoeuvres (it also includes cloak  fighting, three section staff fighting, immovable rod fighting and others!)As you can tell... I'm a fan. Cheers</blockquote>
