Item of power. am i missing something?
« on: August 06, 2010, 05:21:56 AM »
read the book, think i got it figured out that you pay for the powers and get a discount on the first item for it is what it is. so i'm ok right there.

1) one of my players wants a +1 to his guns skill (his items a gun) when keeping with it's purpose (like the sword of the cross.) and i'm thinking that's a -1 for cost but

2) how the heck is a sword of the cross a -3 sword? it seems that either all equal before god is massive (like -4 massive) or i don't actually understand how the abilities are added.

could someone please explain? i think i understand but i want to double check before i determine a cost for his items.

the players items are currently 2x pistols, +1 guns when in purpose (hunting supernatural creatures), holy and it sounds like it should be -3 or -5.

a sword of the cross is statted as
[+2] item of power
[-1] True Aim
[-1] Holy
[-3] All creatures are equal before god.

so you are accurate in that it is a -1 power to give yourself a +1 to all guns rolls with a specific gun while in keeping with it's purpose.

So a gun that is holy and give him a +1 to all guns rolls would cost -1
[+1] item of power*
[-1] True Aim
[-1] Holy
*this could go up to a +2 but the book specifically says an item has to cost at least 1 refresh.
