Chapter 8: Skills
Weapon Trick
With this skill, the character has mastered a
trick with a specific weapon. The trick may have 1
of 3 effects, though it must be determined when
the trick is learned, not for each usage of the trick.
The 3 effects include: increase damage on 1 attack
per 2 rounds of the character’s choice by 10%, increase
the skill check with the specific weapon when
attacking 1 attack per round of the character’s choice
by 10%, or bedazzle foes as well as onlookers. Any
round that a character is performing a Weapon Trick,
their Current Armor suffers a -3 penalty.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the Hand-Eye Coordination sub-ability. A
check may be made once per 2 rounds. The TH
varies with the complexity of the trick. The Aedile
will assign a permanent TH to the Weapon Trick.

Weaponsmithing
Crafting weapons is not an easy task. Before
any weapon may be crafted, the character must
have access to the necessary tools, including a forge.
LC: For each weapon that the character has
never before crafted, the LC is 16. Each time a
weapon is made successfully, the LC improves by 2.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from Spatial Intelligence. Each weapon crafted requires
a skill check. The TH affects Base Craft Time
(BCT). Consult the table below:

Note that metal, non-edged weapons are
functional at 50% of BCT, though at this time the
metal is still black, unpolished, and marred by blows
of the hammer.
Weapon Mastery
After investing at least 15 SP into a specific
weapon, mastery may be claimed regarding that
weapon. Weapon Mastery grants: an increased likelihood
of Graphic Gore and a decreased likelihood
of Fumbles. The range for Graphic Gore is doubled,
and the range for Fumbles is halved.
