Default [DF] Pricing a Power Up

I had a great idea for a Holy Warrior power up recently.

Argent Agent: Silver weapons will not break when you are wielding them. This includes Silver plated weapons.

I wonder if this advantage is too powerful. How much should it cost.

Dont know. My first intuition would be "just a perk". Another solution would be to find the point cost for it to be a Signature Gear.

It's a Perk. It is basically Rules Exemption (Weapon Breakage; Silver Weapons Only), or see the similar Perks in Chinese Elemental Powers.

If it allows you to turn a silver stiletto into an indestructible instrument of sabotage, capable of stopping planets in their tracks because it cannot be broken while your hand is on it, then that's a huge, powerful advantage . . . It would be almost impossible to price fairly, but I'd start with the Cosmic Power form of Modular Abilities, add both Physical, +50% and Limited, Silver Signature Gear, -50% to cover the ability to make any silver artifact you grab into Signature Gear with plot immunity, and then add Cosmic, +100% to boost that protection to true indestructibility.

If it just lets you avoid ordinary weapon breakage in standard melee combat, it's nothing but a perk.
