Not so. A proper draw cut is what a samurai uses to be able to cut a man from shoulder to hip. A normal swing cut can't do that. I suspect that GURPS would not really have the granularity to model it though. IE trying to model it is over thinking. |

I'm also reminded of the Slashing damage vs. Chopping damage house rule that I read on the forums years ago.

But now that I think about it more, the weight of the weapon wouldn't effect damage with this technique as much as with chopping blows. So it might make sense to give it a flat damage rate (Thrust +2 Cutting) for instance, instead of basing it on the weapons statistics. This would also make it more desireable with the weapons which, historically, were used in draw cuts (knives and fencing weapons) because their existing cutting attacks aren't very damaging.

Re: [MA] Draw Cut
I'd note an armor divisor of 0.5 - it's really not suppost to be good against armor.
Unless you already ahve that in there and I just can't read it. I'm a little brain fried.

Re: [MA] Draw Cut
Already in there :) As well as a note that it doesn't do Blunt Trauma and is worthless if using Edge Protection.
