Melee weapons

+ Melee weapons + + Melee weapons constitute one of the most complicated aspect of + Harmonies because of the precision needed to resolve combats.

+ Secondary Weapons + + Often, a weapon will have a double set of attributes: one as + the primary weapon (PW), and the other as a secondary weapon + (SW), when the weapon is used in the left hand (or the right + hand if the caracter is left-handed or even ambidextrous). In + this case, the bonus is added to those of the primary weapon + used. The GM can limit such usage according to the situations + or the weapons used. + + I still need to decide how to combine the + Attributes and Competency between both weapons: Using only the + primary weapons one? Doing a mean, a minimum or a maximum of + both? Currently, I used only the primary weapon and make the + attack bonus lesser (which means that you need a greater + competency) but this more for simplicity than anything + else. + +
