[HOE] Melee Combat

["Stephan Elsner" <schnabul@freenet.de>]

I´m always not that happy with changing any of the original rules, so
instead of adding 1/2 of the fighting skill to the base TN, I thought of
introducing weapon maneuvers that you can perform with the appropriate
fighting skill. You would be able to use a number of special maneuvers equal
to your fighting skill, as it is with martial arts.
As an example, there is no reason why there shouldn´t be the option to make
a feint (like in "last crusaders") with a knife, or even in a simple brawl?
Or why shouldn´t someone be able to make a sweep with a large axe. So I
thought of listing a number of maneuvers for each melee weapon in HoE. What
do you think??
