Suggestion for Martial Arts w/ Killing Weapons

[Xandarr]

Dan,

Just wondering if it might be possible to add a flag to the Type column on martial arts manuevers to differentiate between Normal (damage) Weapons and Killing (damage) Weapons, then have HD calculate the extra DC's at half value if the Killing Weapon is selected. Might alleviate possible confusion when someone sees "Weapon Damage + 2DC" for a maneuver, when really it would be +1 DC for a Killing Weapon.

Just a thought,
Steve

Steve's feel on this is that it is unimportant and that there comes a point where people simply need to know the rules of the system.

I tend to agree in this case. I think that it would make it overly confusing to users to include too many options...it would also leave a good deal of confusion in the final output in terms of whether to halve the DCs or not. The output of the martial arts is done per the WG. "Weapon +2DC" -- should that be +1 DC with your sword or is the killing bit already taken into account? No way of knowing with your method.

I'll be leaving it the way it is.
