It is possible to stab with a scimitar, hence the reason for a pointy tip.
Not the best example, but watch deadliest warrior.
What Owens is getting at is you can do a thrusting attack with any weapon. So, why not in crpg?
Most responses have been;
- no its too hard because I might screw up attacks when spamming.
- it would become OP (even though most 1h glance and get stunned from a thrust)
I think it just put a fun spin on things.
Of course I'm the guy who thought the polearm thrust on the nodachi was the coolest 2h animation.
