Fast Draw (Axe)

[finn]

If the GM wants to keep the "balance" by making swords faster to draw, another way could be making Fast Draw harder for unbalanced or unwieldy weapons. Say making Fast Draw(Axe) DX/A and Fast Draw(Spear) DX/H or whatever.

I would make it an advantage worth 5 points. This corresponds to a Hard technique at -4 bought up to +/-0, which sounds right to me.

It's never occurred to me that you wouldn't be able to fastdraw a weapon. I've had people with skills to fast draw a flashlight or fast draw a guitar or fast draw a crossbow from the ground. It's just the skill of getting something in your hand from a draw-able state quickly.

That said I now have reservations if I should allow an unbalanced weapon to become ready on a fast-draw..

If you use rapid throwing and fast draw axe to embed 3+ axes in a foe's torso in a round, is that an axe body spray? Can it be a signature move?

That idea stinks, man. But sure, I'd allow it – no sweat.
