Can a character use a three point skill level for a ranged and a HtH attack, if the F/X is similar. In example Can Renard Dumas, the great fencer, use a CSL with his Rapier if he throws it at someone?
Another example would be flamefist, who in his MP has both a HtH attack and a Ranged attack.
And you replied ...
Yes, provided the GM considers all the attacks related. If the GM has any doubts or concerns about game balance, he should err on the side of caution and not allow this.
My questions are...
a) The rules state that a 3pt CSL with a melee weapon can only be used as +1 DCV v HtoH attacks and a 3pt CSL with a missile weapon can only be used as a +1 DCV v ranged attacks. If you throw a Rapier can you apply 3pt CSLs as DCVs to HtoH, ranged, both or neither?
Is you answer to a) different if the weapon is specifically designed to be to be thrown (e.g. a discus) or can be used equally in both modes (e.g. a spear)?
c) If the MP also included EGO attacks could the 3pt CSL add +1 to the attackers EOCV and/or EDCV?
d) Is your answer to c) different in a Fantasy Hero Campaign where the PC has 3pt CSL in a specific form of magic and the 'spells' combine EGO and Non-EGO attacks?
