Weapon Master and Weapon Bond
Would the Weapon Master Advantage that works only for a weapon that has been bought as Signature Gear with Weapon Bond qualifiy for the One Attack Only:-60% Limitation?
Sorry if that topic has come up before, but I couldn't find anything relating to that in the forum. |

Re: Weapon Master and Weapon Bond
One Attack Only is a specific limitation for Striking ST, as per Powers p79. That means the only thing you can apply it to is Striking ST.
What you want is Weapon Master (this specific weapon), which is 20 points, as per Basic p99. Buying such a weapon as Signature Gear is strongly recommended so that it stays around, and Weapon Bond is appropriate. |

Re: Weapon Master and Weapon Bond
Thanks for the quick replies. I guess I'll have to go with the 20 point weapon master then, and buy some Striking ST while dropping overall strength to pay for the weapon master:-D

Re: Weapon Master and Weapon Bond
It isn't RAW, But I would let you take "this Longsword only" instead of "any Longsword" for a 10 or 15 points, but this is house rule territory.
By comparison to the Gunslinger breakdowns, "this specific weapon" is worth -80% from unmodified Weapon Master, or 9 points... so pretty close. |

Re: Weapon Master and Weapon Bond
Correct for one weapon, but I think it'd be reasonable to say that Weapon Master (all my weapons that are bought as Signature Gear and for which I have Weapon Bond) is 25 CP.

And I think 18 CP would be even better, Weapon Master (Longsword), -10% Only This Particular Longsword, plus 1 CP Weapon Bond Perk, total 19 CP. |

The more I think about it the more I think the Gunslinger like approach of 80% off the full 45 points is the best way to go. |

Re: Weapon Master and Weapon Bond
I actually consider the "base cost" of Weapon Master to be an even [50] points, from which "[only] all muscle-powered weapons" is -10% to get [45]. So "this particular weapon only, -80%" would be [10].
