Upon thinking about twohanded weapon use, I found several reasoning errors.
Conceivably the reason one can attack AND parry in the same round is that
the person has two hands that they can do things with. THAT makes sense.
Why then can a person using a two-handed weapon do the same thing? To
correct this I came up with the following: One can attack, Offensively Dodge,
Defensively Dodge, or Parry with each hand. When using a two-handed weapon,
both hands act as one so one can only do one.
An Offensive Dodge is a dodge in which the person can Attack that same round, but 1 Sr AFTER the other combatant swings or +1 Sr , whichever is greater. (one must time these things ya know %) )
A Defensive Dodge is a dodge that in which the person can not attack that round, but can move out of range of the opponent(Similiar to disengaging). The Dodge moves the person 4 M distant from the other combatant.
An Defensive dodge can be used after an offensive dodge to move the person out of a combat situation unscathed. If any Dodge is Failed, then the person has NOT moved and therefore could not have disengaged.
'Nother thing to help out two handed weapon use. Give a Bonus for damage. Haven't figured out what yet, but I was thinking of using Str+Siz for One-Handed use and Str*1.5+Siz for two-handed use.
