' When a punt is employed against a target significantly
smaller than the orc, the force of the blow will send them reeling through the air, leaving the hapless victim dazed and alone. '

I have use punt plenty enough, but I have never seen anything that suggested in the helpfile. I was hoping kicking that stupid gnome out of the room with some spinebreaker like affect.

You slam your foot viciously into $N and send $M flying!

This is a succesful punt...the chance is small, but it's possible.
