Well, I'm really throwing fencing into a game where fencing isn't likely to be too common, so I don't need to deal with it in all that much detail. This is a game set in the Serenity universe, and I'm from a world where fencing was common but am now in a situation where fists & guns are more common; my fencing skill is a bit of an oddity.

But what Main-Gauche mostly gives you is Knife skill with a French accent. ;)

Oh, I didn't realize that Main-Gauche could be used for regular fighting in the dominant hand; I thought it was only for parrying in the off-hand.
