Hi all!
On page 34 of the Against the Darkness RPG book, items are listed with advantages. In addition, the text describes items has having a maximum of +7 in advantages.
What stops a player from simply picking a pistol and giving it a +7 to hit? Is there some guidelines in creating, modifying, or increasing the advantages of a weapon or item?
I'm discussing allowing weapon advantages to be no higher than a character's combat rank. However, that wouldn't allow players with a low combat score very good advantages.
Another option is to give characters "item" points to build and add advantages to items. For example, give a player +5 item points where it requires 1 item point to buy/get an item, then +2 item points to increase it's advantage. Item points will be given out like experience points each session as needed.
Another option is allowing a character with mechanics or technical skill to add an advantage equal to the rank in said skill when modifying or changing an item.
What do you guys think?
