Weighted

Described in: Core book

Description

When using this weapon, its wielder adds twice their Strength characteristic (or their whole Flesh aspect for an NPC) to damage rolls rather than just their Strength (or half their Flesh, rounded up, for an NPC). PCs require a minimum Strength score of 4 or at least one Strength overdrive in order to wield a weighted weapon.

Example: Phil’s character attacks an enemy badass with their heavy cestus. The attack hits and the damage roll is 10. Normally, Phil should add his character’s Strength characteristic of 6 to the damage total. The heavy cestus has the weighted effect, so Phil doubles his character’s Strength bonus. Adding 12 to the roll, the attack deals a total of 22 points of damage.
