Man, that is why I am so excited about this. If this is basically the SB5/Elric! game system with bells and whistles, it has all those options and more!
Just go to Noble Knight and buy a copy of Elric! or Stormbringer 5. You will find an elegant, fast, realistic combat system that is at least as good as the ones you named...and when all the other options from BRP games such as Ringworld, RQ, etc. are available right next to those core rules, well...
Yes, you can use a flurry of blows, feint, riposte, shield rush, close, volley fire, two weapons, and everything else I can think of. It is designed so that the dodge and parry are integrated, depending on the needs of the moment. It is a game system that has been with us since 1993, and some have claimed that it is the penultimate development of BRP combat. While it does use variable armor, DEX rank only, and major wound level instead of hit locations, those are things that could be added without breaking anything. And that is what this book is all about.
You are not heretical or any such thing. You have a right to say what you think, even if I disagree with you...and vice versa. Or anybody else. But what you want may already exist. Have a look. Meanwhile, if you want to know more, by all means ask.
