rapid strike being stab and push further in, or stamp and grind, being my main ones.

The second part in both those doesn't require a 2nd hit roll let alone a penalised one (the weapon is already in the target etc). I'm also iffy about defences and to be honest iffy about DR for some as well.

Now TG has a work around to an extent (armed grappling inflicting further damage once the weapon is in the target). There was a recent thread on this.

Not a big thing in anyway, but when state an example the natural reaction is to judge the example by the criteria its demonstrating.
