Shattered Kingdoms

Here's an easy way to make this skill suck slightly less and not make anything overpowering:
Allow bashable doors to be kicked in.
There's really no reason to think that a swashbuckler couldn't fairly easily do this, nor a centaur should be unable to rear up on his front legs and send the door flying with his back.

I'd like to see kick sap some PE from the victim also. I like the idea of it knocking down doors.

Kicking down doors would be pretty sweet.

this idea is good actually

jhorleb is an idea thief=(

I am a fan of both suggestions though.

Yeah, I like the additional suggestion too.
Let folks kick down doors, and kick other people to sap some PE.

This could allow for varying degrees of door strengths. Rotted, dilapidated, deteriorating, normal, reinforced, solid and Brinks armoured door (no-bash doors). Bashing a door should be far easier than kicking one. Kicking a reinforced door should take 3-4 tries, where a bash could be 1-3, based on strength. The discrepancy of tries comes from the fact that bash has far more leverage and surface area, be it just a shoulder and arm or a shield, compared to the relatively small area of a boot. Plus, I would love to be there to see someone kick a rotted door and it still hang on its hinges.
