Butt strikes are an attack option when a weapon is held in Reversed Grip.

They are thrust-crushing attacks which do not benefit from the +1 to thrusting damage that RG normally provides.

It uses 2 rules depending on what the effective range is. The effective range is:

  • C for C weapons
  • C for front/side attacks with reach 1 weapons
  • 1 for rear attacks with reach 1 weapons
  • 1 for any attacks with reach 2 weapons.

Effective-C uses Pummeling rules.

Effective-1 uses special rules: full damage for crushing weapons, thrust minus 1 for non-crushing.
