> No no no, they're too finely balanced for that. +3 S can bring things to ridiculous levels, and coupled with her massive I plus the fact Killer weapons ignore saves, she'd basically just murderlize people before they could retaliate every single time, thus making the reduced toughness a moot point, especially considering she's already formidable in that regard. Nice touch with the bike though, though be warned Deathwatch will give you a normal bike once that bike is inevitably destroyed.

I figured the -1 T could be a lingering effect, you know? Like it isn't just for the duration of that attack but takes place after the blow hits or misses. I mean, she has to reattach all those metal bits back onto her too. It's also the same deal with her bike; most of those metal bits she added herself exactly for the purpose of her killer weapon. It's actually kind of useless if there isn't enough lose metal around to make up the drill, like if she gets stuck fighting in an open parking lot of something. That usually isn't the case from my understanding, but even so her environment and equipment plays a part in if she can use her killer weapon or not.

> Eh, you think so? I already realized that with everyone getting plus 2 from Killer weapons, toughness is either all or nothing. People don't wound T1 any better when their Str is 3, or if it's 5 or 6. Having +3 Str -1 Toughness, would actually make her MORE likely to lose to Setsuka. Vs a "Normal" player with T3, there is also no difference between Str 5 or 6.

> And, any PC fight, save between two heavies or people who take the +2 toughness killer weapons, is statistically likely to be over within two rounds, so you might as well have your killer weapon on right from the start.

While PvP is something that Free said would happen, before we could PvP one another we'd also have to fight through waves of mooks and boss-level NPC's, some of them with PC levels. Our Killer Weapons have to be saved not just against each other but also against other ranked badasses or else we might get wiped by NPC's with good tactics or better stats.
