Ability to Ignore Weapon Material
In the game I am working on, I want some TL0 guys to have the ability to ignore the drawbacks of stone weapons. I think there are a few ways to go about this, and I am neither sure which is best or if I am missing any:
Thoughts? |

Re: Ability to Ignore Weapon Material
Make them TL 0+1? That means you'd have stone weapons that perform like TL 1 weapons. Depends whether the weapons only have special functions in the hands of these primitives, or work for anyone (or you can make them TL 0+6 and call them the Flintstones).

Only for a specific elite class of warriors who have the training to do this.

Re: Ability to Ignore Weapon Material
In GURPS Chinese Elemental Powers, there are abilities—perks, I think—that allow the quality of a weapon's material to be enhanced. They don't make it equivalent to a different material, but they make it a better version of the base material, IIRC. If you have CEP you might take a look.

But I really like the idea of trying to make stone users less disadvantaged against metal users without invoking over the top magic.

Re: Ability to Ignore Weapon Material
You missed the perk for wood weapons. And if the Chinese had used stone weapons I might have come up with one for them.
