That's a good point. Of course I'm just the opposite, I used to do padded
weapon fighting and often against smaller people, so I got used to ALWAYS
pulling my punches (swingings). Then I got into the SCA and I had the
problem that I wasn't hitting hard enough...

I still don't know that a whole seperate trick is required, but I guess
the rules of the game really point towards that (look at the Mercy trick
for Gunners). So, oh well, I lose. I just won't play a blaster, hotshot or
screamer :)
I'm more of a bouncer, speedster, tough kinda guy anyway.
