In classical greece children were encouraged to jeer at men who had potbellies and chase them through the streets.

That would get old. But I would probably lose this gut.

I love the idea of thrusting without thrusting tips on single handed weapons. I think a thin piece of leather or some such on the tip to prevent laceration injury to bare flesh would still be polite, and if we go to no tip I expect I would do this. Smaller thrusting tips on polearms and spears will...

Cheesy how? The shield is strapped in his arm and hand. There is no rule against it and frankly is easier to defeat than a single hand sword and shield. When that sword goes down, so goes the shield, leaving the head exposed. In my opinion it doesn't pay to worry about what the other guy is doing pa...
