ATN? Maybe 5, but you've got a short range and low power compared to the full-sword. And then are you talking "long serpent" or "short serpent?" It's all pretty complicated, really.

Taking into consideration that I'm not an experienced swordsman such as Jake, but as a kid I did get quite a bit of experience beating the hell out of stuff with sticks and what not (growing up in BFE will do that for ya). I even made a couple of spears and poked things with them, such as the 55 gallon steel drum that was in the woods behind my house. I noticed that when I would "choke up" with my left hand, I would get better penetration on just about anything I tried to stab. I would think that this is the same principle as half swording. My weapons training in Karate and Jui-Jitsu only helped to reinforce this... now, my question is this. It seems to me that the +3 bonus for half swording should apply to any thrusting attack, armor or no. Why not?
