Eh. You wouldn't get "much" more frequently out of an edge, really. It happens reasonably often if you've got a good strength score.

As a general rule, edges that make the best options of a character in situations in which those options are already really good ideas are either weak, expensive, or both. Example: throwing flurry as a cloud sword in a one on one fight is probably a pretty good idea; not a lot in the way of edges that make that better. Throwing flurry as a cloud sword with four people ganging on you? Well, there's an edge that makes that less stupid, but it's still probably stupid.

Unless this is a really small chance I can't see this. A guaranteed hit on a one round skill is nothing to laugh at. Backhand is already 'jab, but good', with the caveat that mace specs generally don't tank like sword specs.

See the drum comment on this one.

I could see a boneshatter edge to possibly add some bleeding, though.

Way too much coding time to be an edge.

Same.

Drum is only two rounds period, even when it's five hits.

I mean, when you think about it, if an opponent actually sticks around for four rounds of combat without fleeing or lagging you in the middle, you can drum twice for one flurry, and the two drums are almost always more damage and don't cost move. The tricky part is that's a big if, and sometimes less damage, but all of it right now is better than more damage, but some of it later.

If we're talking like something laryngitis level... sure, that doesn't seem unreasonable to me. If we're talking this is like having tiger claw as a one round skill that also does an unblockable hit... probably not so much.
