Focus clarification

[jholmes]

How do you distinguish between a focus that is difficult to replace, if taken or broken, and one that is easy to replace. For example, a power that works with only a specific sword verses one that will work with any sword. Arguably, the first case should result in a greater LIM value. Expendibility doesn't cover it, becuase that only discusses a focus being used up.

Thoughts?

The rules don't make any such distinction; that's mostly a roleplaying thing, or it's a Limitation on the power you buy (e.g., OAF "works with this one sword" versus OIF "any sword of opportunity").
