[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7287408, member: 6775031"] For the sake of demonstration, you should show it being done one-handed while carrying a shield in the other hand (the actual in-game circumstances which are relevant here) [I]and[/I] show the exact same maneuver being done with a glaive or halberd in two hands. Or better yet, don't bother, because it's impossible to perform the same maneuver in one hand as in two hands; it's a different maneuver when you perform it in different ways. Actually, I'm citing the AL post that was linked, where it says that the DM is free to interpret whenever the rules are not otherwise clear. This is a situation where the rules are not clear, which should be obvious to everyone, because we're having a disagreement about it. You say with confidence that you think the rules are clear, and that there could be no other reasonable interpretation; but I recall a time when the letter of the rule permitted [I]dead[/I] characters to act in full capacity, where unconsciousness was only in effect for [I]dying[/I] creatures, so your appeal to RAW is not persuasive.
