Hi,
I have some questions about the rules. Like you see in the topic it´s about how to fight with two weapons and the charakter traits.
The books arrive a few weeks ago and I got some free time to read over the last days.
At first a short question to the charakter traits.
Did I understand it right that you can only spend creation points on traits, not expirence points later in the game. I found no hint to improve traits after the charakter creation (for example train to build muscles).
If this is right I think I will allowed the player to spend xp on traits later in the game if they will, accordingly to the creation points (60 to go from -4 to -2, 30 to go from -2 to -1 and so on).
Second, the more complicate Question.
I am new to the Trudvang ruleset and the combat points mechanic. I am a long time D&D 1st edition / AD&D Player/GM and have some expirence with RPG´s.
At the moment I think I dont understand it right how two weapon fighting work. I understand the combat points you got from the skill, the disziplin and the speciality and you can spend them on both weaponhands.
I understand that you can performe 4/3/2 Weapon actions with the different weapon types if you wield on in the weapon hand
I understand that you got a -15 penalty for the off hand if you dont skill ambidexterity (and the previous points).
But what I didnt found what is the benefit of it.
Each attack cost you a certain number of combat points and to spread them over more weapons seems pointless if you can make all attacks with one weapon.
For example it´s seems useless to make 2 and 2 Attacks with two knifes or 4 with one. Also to spread the combat points over 4 Attacks seems very bad because the attacks weaken and the hitchance fades away.
A player need´s to spent so much points to be effective with two weapons...but for what!?
I hope you understand my problem and I dont miss the point.
