Foot or not foot? That is the question

[avion]

Ave Clan Hydra! Good to be on the forums. I want to know an answer to a question that I might of asked before and would like to see what others thought:

According to the Book of War, the Foot is a legal target if it is off the ground.

My question is how much of the foot needs to be off the ground in order to count as a leg. I.E. does the foot need to have only the heel, or balls of your feet on the ground to be counted as a Foot, or do you only have to have something as small as your pinky toe on the ground for it to count?

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen that come up before . My reading of it is that your foot is either on the ground or it isn't, so if you're on the balls of your feet and you get hit in the heel, that would still be foot, not leg.

I'm sure you could find people with different opinions, though, since it's not entirely clear in the rules. It's ultimately one of those things that'll always be up to the person being hit, since they're the only ones who're likely to know whether they were actually quite in contact with the ground or not anyway... .

Wow, I like this question. Kudos to you.

Anyway, I agree with Chicken on this one, if someone is up on there tippy toes, i would still call it foot on ground. But interpitations are probably wide spread.

my understanding is if any of the foot is on the ground, foot on ground.
