Stabbing and Thrusting with Bladed Melee Weapons

[Zachary Herzog]

Can stabby weapons (e.g. pointed swords) be used to stab and thrust, or are they only limited to slashing?

[John Pariury II]

Pg 21, 2nd para, 3rd sentence:

Melee attacks must be delivered in a slashing motion; thrusting is strictly forbidden. (bolding mine)

On page 25, under the heading "Infractions", Thrusting is explicitly called out as one:

Thrusting: ​Any attack with a melee or claw weapon that is done in a thrusting or stabbing motion. All swings should be in a slashing arch.
