Stunt question

[Lloyd Dupont]

What about finesse stunt that help reduce the coverage roll by, say, 1 or 2?

Is that a good idea?

[RosenMcStern]

Yes, definitely. I would rather phrase it as "Wenever you go for the Choose Location Combat Effect, you get a -2 to the Coverage Roll on top of any other effects", in order to highlight the fact that you must be actively going for a precision strike to gain this benefit. But it sounds like a good example of a Stunt to me.

I would also add that it should apply only to swords and spears, but then Soltakss would accuse me of promoting "sword porn"

That Soltkass guy! He is not ready for the way of a Samurai! 😛  😮

I thought about it some more... stunt can only be used with impale weapons when using chose location effect

Of course can only be used with a weapon the character is proficient with!

[RosenMcStern]

I am not sure a non-impallng sword would be unable to use the Stunt. I was primarily worried about avoiding its use with very unbalanced weapons (ball&chain, poleaxe).

You and your swords.

Regarding the stunt, if a GM can think of a good reason why it should apply to other weapons, then go for it.

Having watched a good few series of Erugrul:Resurrection, I can think of loads of places where they used scimitars and daggers to cut the throats of their enemies, in combat, so the Stunt would be a good way of achieving that. 

I agree that an Irish Flail has absolutely no finesse, so the stunt would not necessarily be applicable.
