I have never been pleased with the HTH rules of FASA.
so this is a system that has served me well in the past:
a hand strike does (STR)L damage and is considered a simple action.
a kick does (STR+2)M and is considered +1 for reach (trolls +1 aren't
commulative with the kick +1 , they simply have +1 for their hands as
well as for their legs (remember the hand\body lengs ratio of a troll))
all melee weapons of 0 reach require a simple action.
all melee weapons greater then 0 reach require a complex action to use.

any coments\improvements will be apriciated.....
