[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8214003, member: 177"] There's a good point here - especially because there's games that don't do this. I played a session of Fate Accelerated tonight, and that game does not have a concept of normal weapons having different damage they do. The weapon [I]enables action[/I] in this game, but does not alter the result after that. So, if I have a rifle, I can attack at long distances. If I have a pistol, I can attack at medium ranges. If I have a sword, I can melee. The weapon allows me to try an action in various situations, but does not alter the die roll beyond that. In such a situation, if my character is good with a sword, then he is most enabled by swords. If another character is good with daggers, then they are most enabled by daggers. And, in a fight between them, there's not going to be a clear advantage to one over the other, mechanically. [/QUOTE]
