[QUOTE="thuter, post: 8605622, member: 6975034"] I love the extended weapon traits in this system, it makes it that little bit more interesting to pick a certain weapon over another. Though I have some nitpicks with things like a warhammer having the breaker trait, while axes and picks have certain materials added to their traits (meaning a warhammer is just as effective at destroying trees and stones as an axe or war pick respectively), but I have some questions about the combination of Mounted and/or Versatile with the Thrown property. The trident has the following weapon traits: Mounted (1d8/1d10), thrown (20/60), versatile (1d8). I can imagine the damage in the Mounted brackets are for one-handed or two-handed wielding respectively (as it is versatile d8, and mounted increases damage die). The question is: How does this work when the weapon is thrown? Versatile: This weapon may be wielded with one or both hands. If wielded with both hands, it deals the damage listed in parentheses [d8]. Mounted: This weapon deals the damage listed in parentheses when you are wielding it while mounted [d8/d10]. 1. Can versatile weapons be thrown 2-handed to increase the damage of a thrown trident from a d6 to a d8? 2. Do thrown mounted weapons still get the damage increase from d6 to a d8 when thrown while mounted? 3. Can a trident be thrown 2-handed while mounted to increase the damage die to a d10? Assuming the answer to all these is 'yes', although it would look ridiculous in cinema, balance-wise this doesn't pose any problems in my opinion. I am however curious what is the intended interaction between these traits. [/QUOTE]
