[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7932844, member: 82504"] From what I have seen fencing lunges are well not like that they do end with you closer with either clenching when it didnt quite work or an act of withdrawal from the target or yourself which feels distinct or in some arts passing through past the target (the latter is common in Kendo which I am experienced with) because it carries the body weight behind the weapon as part of the damage dealing. I am less certain we should be considering one approach regardless a more flexible maneuver might be both more useful tactically to players and allow distinct visualizations. Many fencers aside from Thibault and Distreza were umm lets call it dying left and right because their Lunge was really poor defensively (akin to the brash strike from 4e) the combatants skewered each other from what I have read and Its why our favorite intelligent fighters were so scary by controlling tangential approaches. Though I suppose attacking from a reach outside your opponents you become better defended in some sense not sure this mechanic represents that aspect super well either.... hmmmm.
