Two legged kick for those with extra legs?
I statting up a character similar to a kangaroo. They rear back onto their tails to deliver vicious two legged kicks.
But I can't find anything that fits in Martial Arts. It's not a drop kick as that requires a step forward and counts as a move and attack. I feel like I might be missing something obvious. So any help would be appreciated.

I think I'd use Dual Weapon Attack technique for Kicking and leave it at that.

Roos certainly practice and kick quite effectively, after all. A perk to account for their rules exemption should work. I knew I was probably over thinking things. Thanks.

What is the difference between a punch and a kick?
Adjust Two-Handed Punch accordingly. |

Re: Two legged kick for those with extra legs?
Also note that Dual-Weapon Attack is cinematic for humans. I wouldn't even require a perk for the specific version that lets you do two kicks if you have a tail to balance on. I would, however, charge points for a tail that strong, probably counting it as Extra Legs [5].

Re: Two legged kick for those with extra legs?
Also, cinematic maneuvers doesn't necessarily always mean "breaks reality down" so much as "try this in an actual fight and you will get your ass kicked". Martial artists do cinematic moves in katas and exhibitions pretty regularly, as do pro wrestlers.
It's certainly possible for someone to attack with two weapons in one second - it's just likely to be so telegraphed and underpowered as to be useless. Lastly, feel free to invent a new technique or maneuver, or to adapt one, when dealing with non-humanoids. The idea is that mostly everything in MA is based on humans. |

Real kangaroos use it as another leg when crawl-walking pentapedally, but that's too much hassle for my write up. It doesn't go that far for my kangaroo people. Take out one of their real legs and the tail just acts like a ready made crutch for leaning on. It's not like they can use tails to hop. Movement would of course go WAY down, but Lame: missing leg allows Move 2 with crutch. So my tail acts like a Despite what Gurps says, one legged people can stand upright and even make small hops without automatically falling down.

Re: Two legged kick for those with extra legs?
Speaking of that, what about a horse or mule or centaur who kicks with both back legs? Dual Weapon Attack again?
