I'll allow that. You want to combine gravity into a more powerful attack? That's special.I also think this is rules-inconsistent, but I don't mind it so much. Fighting Defensively is a combination of Full Defense and Attack, in theory. Anyone who learns how to fight learns how to parry--that's what this is. Putting more oomph into your attacks? On the other hand, you don't learn to fight wildly from someone teaching you how to fight. Power Attack is sloppy style. I think there should probably be a lesser version of it available for free, though, but I don't think it's a good idea at lower levels anyway (after which, a character who wants to use the option would probably have Power Attack regardless).You might want to stick with another example. TWF doesn't give you an extra attack. It does improve an already-available combat tactic.But the d20 system is what D&D is based on. Letting people do things for free unbalances the system. If you want a system that lets you use only roleplaying to play, there are systems that accomodate that. Some D&D rules, in my opinion, are there because they make sense and some are there because of game balance. A good system tries to balance "logic" and "balance" without ignoring either. I'm not happy with all the rules, but I do think most of them are at least balanced.</blockquote>
