How To Build: +1 or more OCV on a real weapon

[tenebre]

so the books states:

OCV: This is applied as a bonus or penalty against all attacks made

with the weapon. OCV bonuses are bought as a 2-point Combat

Skill Level with the Limitations OAF, Required Hands, and Real

Weapon.

 

This is fine except i am not sure how to do this? does that mean that each +1 raises the actual cost by 1pt only? the real cost by 1pt? or is there supposed to be an actual modifier like +1/2 for each +1 OCV. I certainly cant see any way to do this in HD

In HD, you buy each +1 OCV as a Combat Skill Level and then apply the listed limitations to the CSL.

You build it as a Compound Power such as this:

Broad Sword

Killing Attack - Hand-To-Hand 1 ½d6, Reduced Endurance (0 END) (37 Active Points); STR Min 14, Side Effects, Side Effect occurs automatically whenever Power is used (-1 DEX only to determine who goes first in a phase), Real Weapon Plus +1 Damage Class (8 Active Points); STR Min 14, Limited Power (Only vs. Unarmored Hit Locations Locations), Real Weapon Plus Armor Piercing for up to 37 Active Points of Slashing Weapon, Reduced Endurance (0 END) (13 Active Points); Limited Power (Only vs. Heavy Leather, Soft Leather, Hide and Cloth Armors), OAF Plus +1 OCV with Block with Broad Sword (8 Active Points); Real Weapon

I used different point values but you get the idea.

If I'm working on a 'quick and dirty' power construction, I'll enter the OCV (and/or Range Mod) bonus as a Custom Adder instead of making a Compound Power. The cost usually turns out to be the same, or nearly the same.

sp i guess my problem is technical as I cannot figure out "how" to do that in HD. what do i select exactly to add a CSL to a power?

In the Powers list is one called Compound Power. Click on that and then Edit it. You will see the option to Add other powers.
