I just discovered my new favorite combat mechanic for my warrior about three battles ago...which leads me to believe it might be a bit overpowered. wink

I discovered that if I pick up a barrel and place it right beside an enemy, it will do 20-30 damage. Also, if two enemies are standing next to each other, and I move and place a barrel between them, it will do that amount of damage to both. This is way more effective than swinging a sword right now...granted, very early into the game (fighting undead just west of Cyseal).
