Weapon Specific Combat Penalties
« on: April 06, 2016, 01:04:46 PM »
I posted this in SW forum but can be used with any version of RM. We individualized various combat modifiers to each weapon based on the weapon type/style, size, weight and weapon speed.

You've done some really interesting things there. I especially like the variable multiattack and protect penalties depending on the size/length of the weapon.

Thanks very much!

A suggestions on an additional modifiers you could add..

Disarming.. Some weapons were designed for this and some just aren't very good for it.

Revised Chart with 3 new mod categories: Full Parry, Missile Parry and Disarm.

At the bottom I included our missile mods that apply to missile parrying as well. (We usee a combat specialization "Missile Parry" that offsets the penalties).
