View Full Version : Martial Arts weapon elements

There appears to be no provision for adding additional weapon elements (save for those listed) to a martial arts style. Specifically, I would like to add "natural weapons" - per this message thread: MAs/HAsw/ advantages/STR thread (http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7947).

Would it be possible to add a custom adder to the list, or a way to define an element? This would be most helpful, especially in campaigns with weapons other than those define.

I also thought that it was possible to buy weapons elements for certain weapons groups (such as karate weapons, etc), instead of buying only single weapons. This appears to not be the case with HD 2.0.27.

Thanks!!!

Just type over the name of any item in the existing list...they're all editable.

I know you can type over, but wouldn't a more elegant solution be similar to that of some of the other things, where you could add a custom, and a new box would be added?

Sorry, can't seem to recall a good example (and may not even be the case w/ v2).

I see no difference between typing over the text in any of the available items and typing over the text in a "custom" item. It's the exact same thing in either case.

There are no provisions for buying entire groups of weapons as a Weapon Element. FREd (page 265-266) states that you purchase a Weapon Element for a <i>subcategory</i> of the Weapon Familiarity Table. Those are the 1-point WFs.
