Combat Options Part 1

I've pirated various combat options from older campaigns and come up with a preliminary list.  Here's section 1

CHARGE:

Classes: fighter, dwarf, elf, halfling, gnome, mystic, berserker

Requirement:  move at least 10 feet in straight line directly into contact

Benefit:  +2 to hit, allows running speed movement and an attack

Penalty: liable to Set vs, Charge effect, -2 AC for rest of round

 

DISARM

Classes: fighter, dwarf, elf, gnome, halfling, berserker, mystic, thief

Requirement: using a sword, whip or 2-handed weapon (Mystics may use hands)

Benefit: If attacker hits AC 2, target must roll DEX or less (monsters 8+HD) or drop weapon

Penalty: Attack scores no damage.

 

MIGHTY SWEEP

Classes: fighter, dwarf, elf, mystic, berserker

Requirement: begin in melee contact, using a 2-handed weapon (except spear/pike)

Benefit:  Each adjacent target must either move back 5ft (free) or be attacked.  Attacker therefore might be able to attack a large number of enemies.

Penalty: if all enemies step back, attacker loses his attack, but may be clear to move.

 

RAMPAGE (replaces multiple attack rules in RC)

Classes: fighter, dwarf, elf, halfling, gnome, mystic, berserker

Requirement: proper class

Benefit: make an additional number of attacks during a round, depending on level

Penalty: suffering hit points of damage scaling with the number of attacks

	Minimum Level	Additional Attacks	Damage
Rampage A	1	1	1
Rampage B	4	2	3
Rampage C	7	3	6
Rampage D	10	4	10
Rampage E	13	5	15
Rampage F	16	6	21

So, if a 4^th level fighter decides to rampage during a round, he could either get 1 additional attack, suffering 1 point of damage in the process, or 2 additional attacks, suffering 3 points of damage in the process.
