Arguments for:
  • Its kind of like "all-out attack, double step" in that it penalizes your defences in return for mobility.
  • By RAW, it is allowed as nothing disputes it. Steps are each 1/10 movement rounded up.

Arguments against:
  • This feels like a rules exploit
  • You shouldn't be able to be as mobile on the ground or in 400lbs of armour as when you're standing and making attacks wearing 10lbs of clothing.
  • Hell, you're actually faster when committed attacking the air than taking a full movement action in both above scenarios

I'd love to hear other people's opinions on the matter.
I'd let 'em do it at a cost of 1 FP per maneuver.
