View Full Version : Knockback as an Attack

This just came up last night, and I figured I'd bounce it off you. I have a guy playing a boxer in a street-level campaign who bought double knockback on his roundhouse. In the course of the fight, he tried to line himself up so that he could knock one mook back into another. I liked it, but didn't want it to be a way to automatically do damage to two people every attack.

I handled it by making it a type of sweep manuver, with a -2 OCV, but not giving a 1/2 DCV because he was only getting his STR + Martial Damage once, and the KB on two people.

Can you suggest a better/more in line with the game ruling?

Thank you,
:)
James.

See Champions, page 153, for rules regarding this.
