Super Powerful Weapon. -3 (this'll put the weapon, by itself at Weapon: 9, with Mythic Strength you are at Weapon: 15)
I don't think this is a valid power. Claws (the closest approximation) is explicitly not allowed to stack with itself or be purchased multiple times. I'd be inclined to stick with that ruling, or we're going to wind up with Weapon: 7 knives in common usage...and that's just not a good idea.
Um no, who says item has to be maintained. its not as if it degrades.The scythe is meant to be an ancient and powerful weapon, not something forged or meant to be wielded by mortal hand.
Yep. Enchanted Items need to have Item Slots to keep them working...but this thing has them built in. It should last forever and work fine, mechanically.
DMW, what does the character look like if I go with Riposte, take the holy catch, and switch out lore for athletics?
Like this:
Skills:Superb: Athletics, Weapons,
Great: Lore, Stealth,
Good: Conviction, Endurance,
Fair: Alertness, Discipline, Intimidation,
Average: Burglary, Empathy, Fists, Presence, Scholarship,
Stunts:Riposte (Weapons)
Powers:Living Dead [-1]
Inhuman Speed [-2]
Inhuman Toughness [-2]
Inhuman Recovery [-2]
The Catch is Holy Stuff [+2]
Scythe of Death:
Item of Power [+2] effecting;
Ritual (Ectomancy) [-2]
Refinement (Extra Item Slots) [-2]
True Strike (As the Sword of the Cross power of the same name) [-1]
Total: -9 Refresh
Enchanted Items:Mordite Scythe Blade (Weapon: 10 attack with Weapons, thirteen times per session) [12 Item Slots]
Stress: Mental: OOOO
Physical: OOOO(OO)
Social: OOO
Armor: 1.
And how effective is this character over all?
Quite effective. In physical combat he's pretty damn good defensively (though not unbeatable) and an offensive GOD, destroying most opponents quickly and almost casually. Outside combat, he's good at Lore and Stealth and a decent Ectomancer, but completely worthless at anything social except Intimidation, and only decent at that.
