> Your boots need polishing again -- blood all over them...

Did I jut land a massive hit?

Am I kicking too much and this is telling me I need to take a break?

My kicks always land before I land a bunch of hits so I don't see if this lowers their health at all.

Insignificantly.

Some messages during battle, regarding certain skills, refer to normal hits/critical hits/misses.

When you get the message: Your boots need polishing again -- blood all over them...
That kick indicates you got a kick to the head successfully.

When you get the message: Your kick hits <someone> in the solar plexus!
That indicates you successfully got a kick to the body.

When you get the message: You stub your toe on <someone's> armored form.
That indicates you successfully kicked, but their armor was stronger than your foot. It technically counts as a miss/deflect I'm pretty sure.

Otherwise, you just miss entirely. Hope that helps.

Very much so, thanks!
