Melee Weapon Modifications

More Modifications complete, for now Melee weapons! Boy these really made me think heh.

Melee Weapon Modifications

• CH – Charged, Emits a jolt of energy upon a successful strike that inflicts more damage as well as has a chance to paralyze an opponent. If the Total Damage inflicted with a Charged weapon is greater then a character’s body, the character is considered paralyzed for the difference in rounds. For example, A character hits an opponent for 12 points of Total Damage, the opponent has a body of 10 so he is in Paralysis for 2 rounds as a result of the damage. Weapons with the Charged Mod are often difficult to handle and thus suffers a -2 penalty to hit. Mod Difficulty: 15
  

• LW – Light Weight, Weapons are extremely light and easy to handle, The weapon has a true center of balance and as such the character wielding a Light Weight weapon receives a +4 bonus to hot but a -1 bonus to damage. Light Weight weapons are designed for quick strikes not fatal blows. Mod Difficulty: 13
  

• OP – Over-Powered, (Energy Blades only) an Energy Blade that is Over Powered is truly an unwieldy weapon of mass damage. Mystics often do not wish to tamper with the a Energy Blade because such an act violates the very teachings of a Mystic. By unbalancing the natural finesse of the blade this Mod incurs a -2 penalty to hit, but grants the user double his damage. Mod Difficulty: 18
  

• RS – Razor Sharp, (Edged Weapons only) The edged weapon with this mod has been so finely honed that it is able to slide through objects with the greatest of ease. It takes a very steady hand and eye to perfect a Razor Sharp blade, many a Gnolam merchant has lost their digits during the process. +2 bonus to damage rolls. Mod Difficulty: 16
  

• RT – Retractable, This mod functions for all manner of Melee Weapons. Once added the Weapon shrinks to 1/3 it’s original size. Large weapons become Small, Medium weapons Tiny, A small weapon with this mod reverts to Tiny. This Mod is intended to hide weapons to avoid detection. In order for the weapon to be used again in combat, it must take it’s normal size once again. Doing so costs one action. This adds a +4 Defensive Security bonus when being searched. Mod Difficulty: 14
  

• SR – Serrated, Weapons with this Mod have Jagged edges carved or dug into them so they inflict additional damage. A Serrated weapon adds +3 to damage to reflect that it actually rips chunks out of an opponent, The character wielding a serrated weapon also suffers a -1 on his next action after a strike due to the fact he literally has to Rip the weapon free from the opponents body. Mod Difficulty: 14
  

• WT – Weighted, (Blunt Weapons only) Weapons that are Weighted have additional weight added to the ends to add more of a Punch upon a strike. This can take the form of Metal padding on the tips of the Weapon or even filling the Weapon with a dense liquid. Weighted weapons are off balance so the character suffers a -1 penalty to hit, but receives a +3 to her damage roll. Mod Difficulty: 8
