Need advice on one shot i started working on

This is a really nice loot list, well done!

A couple questions though:

  1. The Bowie knife doing ULTIMATE when grappling? It seems odd maybe as a grappling weapon?

  2. Does the tomahawk explode like a grenade?

#3

:laughing:The bowie knife being ultimate while grappling come out of my extremely limited knowledge of knife fighting, which basically says first you pin someone against a wall or on the ground, and then you can stab them wherever you want. So, the weapon is more about overpowering the opponent and then killing them, rather than swinging your knife at arm’s length.

The tomahwk means the damage dice “explode”, i.e., add another die of damage when you roll max.

#4

I did a little research since my knife knowledge is also extremely limited. :grin:

Just some suggestions for clarity:

Maybe it should be written: Bowie knife: ULTIMATE damage when opponent is grappled

Tomahawk: throw or chop; When Max EFFORT is rolled add another EFFORT roll

#5

Solid edits, though I kinda like the risk of two guys in a knife fight weighing whether or not to close in, knowing they both could be doing ULTIMATE to each other…but it probably won’t come up that much.

#6

Well, you’ve got it spelled out just in case and that will be helpful when it does come up!
