Re: Picking up things from the ground
A 2-point gap between those things doesn't seem wide enough, quickly bending down and grabbing a sword is way easier than kicking a sword into your hand, could we at least add some kind of penalty for doing this with edged weapons?

Re: Picking up things from the ground
It depends a lot on the shape of the weapon. A staff lying flat on the ground is difficult to toe-toss, while a sword with a basket hilt and high clearance or with a bit of a springy blade (stamp down, flick your toe under on the rebound) is much easier. Having an edge would affect the outcome of a crit fail more than the ease of doing it.

Re: Picking up things from the ground
Well, it is way easier. A trained professional (skill 12) has almost 38% chance to succeed at bending down to pick up the thing, and not even 17% chance at toe-flip. -3 and going from -3 to -5 doesn't seem like a lot at high skill levels, but well, those are high skill levels. They are supposed to be impressive. At "everyman" levels, those penalties are quite a lot.
