Not really.  Since movement rules now include the 1/5 move and attack
thing, I can understand where Jevan is coming from.  Most of last weeked I
was getting tackled by guys who would use their free round to stand and
whup on me with a great sword.  I like using it to tackle people and whack
them with a maroglave 2 or 3 times.  It's just a heinous skill since the
default is so easy.
