IMO knockdown weapons should be allowed to be used.
We have a mechanism for almost 2 years, which is called ROLLING, if you cant roll not my problem.
I go against Sir Hobo who is a major STR whoring my old friendgit, he dueled Linux, Linux struck him 5 times with a longsword and he told us he lost only 50%.
Fuck that, I`m gonna use poleaxe (blunt side) against him, and if he cant roll, not my problem.
