Re: Is initiating HTH overpowered?
It’s not quite as simple as that, there are some prerequisites for initiating HTH, listed on p116 of ITL. At least one of these conditions must apply before HTH is initiated:
A) the target is in an awkward position; prone, kneeling or backed up against a wall.
B) the target has a lower MA
C) the attacker enters from the rear
D) the target agrees to HTH
I do agree that it’s a useful way to deal with the heavily armoured hero (low MA) and perhaps too prone to the “swarm of kobolds” you describe.
