Cumulative malus for Improvised Weapons/Skill Default

[Deathwindfr]

Dear all,

Horror p51 indicates that the skill to use a chainsaw as an improvised weapon is Two-Handed Axe/Mace. It also indicates that using a chainsaw as an improvised weapon has a skill penalty of -2.

If the character is not skilled in Two Handed Axe/Mace, the skill default is DX-5, Flail-4, or Two-Handed Axe/Mace-3.

So a character not skilled in Two handed Axe/Mace who uses a chainsaw using DEX default has a net penalty of -7 (-5 for the default and -2 for the improvised weapon)? Is this correct?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers
