Master of Disarms

[RobKamm]

I've been playing with DF11. Master of Disarms is giving me some trouble - in particular the bit about adding +2 to ST only when trying to break a weapon. I've been looking at the Martial Arts book's examples of AddMode in modifiers and am lost. I can see how to set a new damage amount, but I not figuring out how to add to ST for that one attack. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

First of all, I need to know how you're trying to build this ability. Are you building it as a single advantage (as it's presented in DF11) or from it's component parts? Actually, why don't you go ahead and post the code you've got for it.

Sorry. Yes, I should have done that. I was hoping to create a new attack mode with the modified ST called Weapon Breaking.

I'm going with the "as one advantage" model because I think that makes more sense than creating a bunch of "do not use" perks and techniques and then create the usable meta-traits. While I appreciate looking "under the hood" in the book, I don't think it's really appropriate for the gdf, no?
