RE: (TFT) Is a sweeping blow physically cutting thru your target?

["John Linzy" <juzjohn@adelphia.net>]

Musashi was using a katana which was a miracle of metal working for it's
time.  Most European swords, until maybe the mid to late 1500's, were pretty
poorly made metallurgy wise and usually had to be straightened out after
each battle!  They physically weren't capable of cutting all the way through
a human body.  Maybe a wrist or ankle but I wouldn't count on it.

Of course, this is a fantasy game.....

   Myomoto Musashi said that when one cuts the wrist of one's opponent cut
both wrists, and cleanly, in one fluid stroke.  Because of this tradition in
my campaign I allow a combination aimed-shot and sweeping-blow, so a leg and
an arm can be taken from one opponent.  Or two adjacent necks.  Or three.
