Committed Attack Abuse - Page 2

By default, committed attacks allow two steps. This has lead to scenarios on our tabletop where a heavily encumbered or prone player effectively doubles their movement by "Committed Attacking the Air". This feels cheesy to me.

Arguments for:

Its kind of like "all-out attack, double step" in that it penalizes your defences in return for mobility.
By RAW, it is allowed as nothing disputes it. Steps are each 1/10 movement rounded up.

Arguments against:

This feels like a rules exploit
You shouldn't be able to be as mobile on the ground or in 400lbs of armour as when you're standing and making attacks wearing 10lbs of clothing.
Hell, you're actually faster when committed attacking the air than taking a full movement action in both above scenarios

I'd love to hear other people's opinions on the matter.
