Legsweeps....

[jkwleisemann]

Okay... this might just be because I'm using Fifth Ed, and not the revised book, but I'm a little unclear on the rules for Legsweep. It refers to the rules for Martial Throw, but doesn't answer two questions that I have:

1: If a legsweep connects, but doesn't do damage, does the target fall?
2: If a target is hit with a legsweep, whether or not damage is done, but weighs more than the MA's pushed Strength can lift, does the target fall at all?

1. Yes. A Throw-based maneuver’s ability to knock, push, or throw someone to the ground isn’t dependent on its first doing damage.

2. No; see 5ER 400.
