I was looking at Rodger Thorm's updated Poor Brendan's Almanac and it has suggestion for Weapon Cross Use. With this similar weapons are placed into groups and if you are ranked in one weapon in the group you can use the others at a lesser rank. You also can train up the other weapons at a reduced EP cost. I like what he did with this and will probably adopt it.Phergushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029828649840210384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652670152568310161.post-70847897556189519622016-10-20T17:36:12.688-06:002016-10-20T17:36:12.688-06:00Phil,

As well Chris Klug suggested to me when I asked about this that instead of requiring each skill hit R4/R8 that having 8 skills that totaled 32 or 64 ranks would suffice. However to me there is quite a bit more to it than simply achieving Adventurer or Hero rank. I think it sad that a player of a warrior character who wants to use the preferred weapon of his people has to accept that he will need to take skills he doesn't want or need just to advance. Never mind that he will be at a serious disadvantage in combat if he chooses something like Mace or War Hammer with a max rank of 5.Phergushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029828649840210384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652670152568310161.post-21470756523799539992016-10-19T17:36:57.159-06:002016-10-19T17:36:57.159-06:00At one time I would have tried out your idea, but ...At one time I would have tried out your idea, but there are a lot of optional skills that are cheaper than many weapons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756265320055824085noreply@blogger.com
