Weapons Expertise vs Armor
Weapons Expertise lacks the note under Fencer about armor.
So if your armor reduces your adjDX below 12 you still have the use of it? Whataboutism: DX 12, Dagger Expertise, Thrown Weapons, Leather armor. Do the expertise bonuses only apply to throwing the dagger in this case?

Re: Weapons Expertise vs Armor
Hi Hcobb,
Since Weapon Expertise has no limitation on AdjDX (as Fencing does), I would say you can still use it with a lowered DX. I think this was the intent of separating Fencing from Weapon Expertise. Fencing skill is more about speed. Expertise with a battle axe would be very different. I agree with the prereq of DX=12+ to have a starting minimum competency and not have the added AdjDX=12+. "Whataboutism: DX 12, Dagger Expertise, Thrown Weapons, Leather armor.": I would say this person has all the bonuses Dagger Expertise provides even though his AdjDX=10. I would also say he could know but not using Fencing since the AdjDX is less than 12. And with regards to throwing the Dagger he gets the +2 DX and quick draw from the Thrown Weapons skill in addition to the +1 damage from the Dagger Expertise skill. That sounds like a nice combo of skills, specially if you are already having to have IQ 11 for physicker or thieving. |
