Dr Divago Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 In Fantasy Hero book, where are talking about wepons damage, it say that some weapons add 1 DC every 5 STR over STR Minimum (okei, this is the standard rule); some weapons add 1 DC every 6.75 STR over STR minimum and some add 1 DC every 8.25 STR over STR Minimum (or likes...) Well, the problem is: say that this is an Advantage not a disadvantage... but i think it was a disadvantage (requires an higher STR to have a DC bonus) so is an error? or i miss the real advantage in this?

Alibear Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Some weapons have built in advantages, they do extra stun or are Armour Piercing. You have to be that little bit stronger to get more damage out of them. Is that the question, i'm not sure exactly what you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I think it's just a typo: STR minimum is a disadvantage. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in FH say that with a +½ Advantage can build a weapon that add a +1DC everry 6.75 STR over STR Minimum (normal rules say that is +1 DC every 5 STR over STR Minimum). SO the fact is... is a disadvantage or an advantage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 What that means is that weapons which have an advantage on them have an increase in the amount of STR necessary to raise the damage they do. When it says a +1/2 advantage needs 6.75 STR to raise the damage, what that actually means is that a weapon which has a +1/2 advantage (Armor Pirecing, for example) needs more STR to raise its damage that the weapon would without the advantage. To clarify: Requiring extra strength is not the advantage itsself, but the result of whatever advantage was already added to the weapon.

dugfromthearth Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I believe Eclipse is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slikmar Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I dont have my book handy, but just to clarify something, wouldnt a weapon with a +1/2 advantage require a 7.5 str to increase damage with a +1/4 advantage needing the 6.25? I believe you are basically having to apply the advantage to the 5 points of str normally needed to increase the damage class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
