@ Kelephant:

Jane doesn't necessarily have much of an advantage there. The motions for swinging a blankball bat, a battle club, and a two-handed sword are very different.

For a blankball bat, you stay in more or less the same spot as you swing, and need to swing as hard and fast as possible at a horizontal angle across your body.

For a two handed club, you need to step with the opposite foot as the direction you are swinging (if swinging over left shoulder, step with right foot) in order to catch your weight and avoid overextending and losing balance. You also want to stop just beyond your target, regardless of whether or not you hit.

For swords, you want to step with the same foot as the side you swing on (swing over left shoulder, step with left foot) in order to add power to the swing; again, you want to stop your swing just past the target, so that you are always able to keep your enemy at bay with your sword.

Jane seems to mostly fight with two handed swords, so while she would certainly have plenty of muscle to be a great blankball batter, she will have to majorly adjust her thinking for swinging the bat.
