Re: Weaponmaster of the Knife This particular payer is fickle. He will argue realism when it benefits him, and cinematics when it benefits him...regardless of setting. He is an excellent roleplayer, but he's a bit annoying at times. A min-maxer to the core really.

Re: Weaponmaster of the Knife In an effort to squelch an angry player and make the game more enjoyable I let him apply it to thrown. That being said, I and the other players agree that it's not the same. This is a heroic setting, standard heroic. It's also a WW2 setting...if he wants to chuck knives in a gunfight...whatever.

6th edition hero system question. Been having a spat with a player on the weaponmaster power. He's a weapon master of the knife. The problem lies in the interpretation of how far that spreads exactly. If he were to throw the knife, considering how drastically different a style it is, the fact that it's an entirely different weapon familiarity, does different damage, has different strengh requirements and such for throwing as opposed to stabbing, does he keep the weapon master bonus? IRL it's a totally different style and may not translate. No matter how good you are at thrusting and stabbing, throwing is completely different. He argues because throwing a dagger does noting but add range, he keeps it...yet it clearly changes the weapon quite a bit when you throw it. So my question is, does a thrown knife still count as a "knife" for weapon mastery?
