LN11 - Combat Style for 2-handed weapons

[Obadiah]

Hey all,

Been digesting LN11 and have seen that there is no combat style for weapons that are used in 2 hands (eg - battle axe, great sword, halberd, etc).  I am thinking about creating one for these weapons.  Do you have any suggestions for what  to include?

I have had a shot at what it might be.  Happy for any suggestions or thoughts...

Double Handed Weapon Style
This is a style of fighting that may use any of the weapons found in the 2Handed weapon groups of Great Axes, Great Blades and Pole Arms - not staves. Right now that includes only Staves and Short Spears. The style here involves sing the weapon in two hands with no shield but attacking with only 1 end of the weapon.

The character must have a Weapon Proficiency in the weapon to be used with this style.

Tier 1 - The character gets +1 DEF when using this style due to an ability to utilise the weapon defensively in lieu of a shield.
Tier 2 - The character may now make basic attack move for the same AP cost as a Medium weapon (ie 4 AP)
Tier 3 - The character may make a second attack on another target that is within reach and located in the frontal attack zones. This may only be used as part of an all out attack move and the second attack has a -2 penalty applied to the AB (the +2 AB bonus described in the rules does not apply to the second attack).
Tier 4 - The character may perform a block on his opponent and if successful the opponent must save vs Str or drop their weapon (TN is 15 + 1 for every tier in this style).
Tier 5 - The character no longer receives the negative modifier for his secondary attacks.
