A special move and type of kick attack that is designed to do more damage than an ordinary kick.
A typical karate kick does 2D6 damage (+P.S. damage bonus if any), a knee attack 1D6. Counts as 1 melee attack/action.
Anyone trained in hand-to-hand combat can do a basic kick or knee attack, but only characters trained in Hand-To-Hand: Commando, Expert, or Martial Arts can perform a karate kick. Hand-To-Hand: Commando and Martial Arts can also perform other Leg Strikes (see Damage) and possibly learn Leap Kick.
