Melee Point Buy: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:36, 16 May 2022

Weapon Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Its Packs allow a Character to use weapons, and get weapon-related Mundane Techniques. Any learned Technique can be used on any weapon a Character knows how to use.

Weapons can be used to attack people without using their attached Abilities. We encourage dice rolls to resolve disputes when players can't figure out what to do next.

Additionally, while Battle Hunger is active, any Abilities or Mundane Techniques used on the user that cause the user to move slower or be unable to run, have these effects instead ignored.
